Al fresco in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a pleasure it is to be welcomed with a smile that seems sincere, a joke while perusing menu. Off to a good start. Menu choices selected and delivered in reasonable time and most enjoyable.

My daughter took me for lunch as a birthday treat 10th April the whole experience was most enjoyable - good food at reasonable prices great service pleasant surroundings we will go back again for sure.

Very beautiful reataurant,food great but the manager very unprofessional and rude.i would recomand him a costumer service course and some good manners.

Fab food, starter of Trio of Crostini was delicious. Mains of Seafood Pasta, Lasagne & Side Salad, scrummy! Dessert was devine, Coconut Brûlée with Mango Sorbet amazing, topped off with a bottle of Pinot Grigio….. perfect night, great service, thanks Ovi & Geni. We will be back ! This is a fabulous trattoria in the heart of Westbury on Trym, you won’t be disappointed👍

We weren’t meant to be in Bristol at all but unfortunately ended up at the emergency dentist with our 10yo son and had our other three young children waiting I n the car whilst our eldest had his broken teeth fixed (a swimming pool fall 😞). We were fitted in for dinner late on a rainy Saturday just before New Year and were served some delicious pasta and pizza by the really friendly and smiley staff. The children loved their food and so did I. Thank you!

We absolutely love this place. They always manage to squeeze us in even if they are busy, the staff really are helpful, friendly and professional. Beautiful decor and friendly staff. The bolognaise is delicious and my partner loves their pizza. We are both addicted to their mozzarella garlic bread. true,authentic Italian food. Can’t recommend enough.

Very nice food and huge portions. Pleasant decor and good service. 4 of us visited on a Tuesday evening not expecting it to be busy but found it almost full so we were glad we had made a reservation. Enjoyed an excellent Trebbiano with our meals. Only had room for starter and main course as the portion sizes are very big so be aware. Only negative was parking as the car park seems rather small for the size of restaurant but arriving at 7:15 we were lucky enough to get the last space. Will definitely be back and an ideal spot for a special occasion meal or large groups as well as couples etc

Recommended Italian restaurant in Westbury, excellent menu choice, attentive pleasant waiters, superb evening enjoyed by all

Another great meal at Al Fresco. Spur of the moment decision and well worth it. Really good service from the wait staff, we all loved the food, and to be frank, went to San Carlos a few weeks ago, the meal there was nowhere near as good as this, and this was half the price. looking forward to coming back again.

Can I just say what a wonderful experience I had today, came here for a birthday lunch with my friend and we had Ovi look after us, ( I’m so sorry I don’t know how to spell your name properly 🙈 ) not realising they close at 3pm and we were still there at 3.15, he was so kind and said he would stay until 3.45 so we can finish our lunch and drinks without rushing us, we were made to feel so special and the food and drinks were amazing! He even got me fresh mint from the little herb garden for my mojito outside, finished off with complimentary shots, Thank you so much we had the best time thanks to you and loved the whole atmosphere, we will be back! P Grazie xx

Terrible lunch experience. I ordered foccacia and was presented with a pizza base toasted, with chopped tomatoes and grated Mozerella on top. The lippy waiter robbed me off in a brusque manner telling me that it was their bruchetta style of Foccacia .. absolute nonsense! My friend ordered calamaro which was the worst calamari ever I fact I could have used it to tie my hair back it was so rubbery. Waiter was rude to us saying that we had eaten half of it so why were we complaining. We left and he was still being confrontational as my friend paid for our drinks.

One again a lovely evening at Al Fresco. This place delivers every time, with simple authentic Italian cuisine always cooked immaculately. Staff are always attentive and so friendly. We’re really lucky to have this little piece of Italy in our corner of Westbury on Trym.

We visited on a quiet Monday night at the end of April, to celebrate a friend's birthday. The menu is extensive, and the food was excellent. The waiting staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. We requested suggestions for both food and drinks, and they were pleased to assist us. We will definitely visit this restaurant again.

Staff were good humoured and entertaining - much appreciated by my elderly mother who they took care to seat away from doors, drafts and busier tables. Food was superb and piping hot. The place just had a great atmosphere and we will definitely visit again.

We have been here a few times and it has always been great. This time was also good. The service was very good and they are very attentive. Food is also good but previously was better. I can only think it is the recent increase in costs, the size of the steak has gone down ( still very tasty ) but cost has gone up. generally the portions have gone down. Not a criticism as everything has gone up everywhere. The squid was the only one which just didnt have any flavor. But all the rest of the food was very good.overall a very good evening. And we will still continue to go back.

.. We had an excellent lunch here - our first visit under the Al Fresco banner. The staff and ambiance were excellent and the front extension a fabulous idea that should allow many more patrons to dine. A couple of niggles… Ignore the website that quotes special prices for a lunchtime menu - there isn’t one, nor has there been one for quite some time. There is just the one menu that is quite extensive with reasonably priced (middle £ range) dishes. Chef - please no need for salt in Pate - Lambs Liver/Butter/Fresh Pepper/Marsala is all that’s needed. Absolutely no need whatsoever for salt. (I love salt by the way - my Father was a sailor!! But too much here). However, salt apart, it’s a lovely pate that could sell itself as a Parfait and sound posher!! Also try and not to over cook the breads and calzone - you can’t turn your back on them ! Drinks were lovely and as already said the staff and ambiance were delightful. We’ll be returning again soon. ..

Visited here for the second time and was very good. A nice selection on the Menu and the food was good quality. The venue was busy at 7 oclock on a Saturday night so would recommend booking in advance Main meals are around £20 each...

Fabulous service with excellent food. Went on a cold, wet night but imagine the glazed area would be great in the summer.

We enjoyed a warm welcome and an excellent Italian night out at Alfresco Cucina. The team were friendly, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. There was a great choice of dishes that we all enjoyed greatly in a pleasant restaurant. We will definitely be...

We visited Al Fresco for a large family celebration on a Sunday afternoon. The waiters we so attentive and helpful and the food was great. We had a selection of starters to share, the crostini were particularly good. Mains were all served promptly together and...

Visited here for first time, the venue has been re styled since I went many years ago under different owners. The decor was modern and clean, service was good and the food also. A bit pricey for what it is but worth a visit

Very disappointing. We’d been planning on visiting Alfresco after seeing so many positive reviews and we decided to try them with a takeaway pizza first - nice and simple. We had a calzone and pepperoni with a couple extra toppings, total bill £33. It’s reasonable...

If you enjoy genuine Italian food served by friendly, polite & attentive waiters then this is the place for you! Easy to park and a nice warm atmosphere. We really enjoyed our family meal last night at this lovely welcoming restaurant. The two of us...

First visit here and we all enjoyed the evening . Shared olives and bread to start, only criticism is we all would have preferred pitted olives . I had the sea bass fillets ( excellent ) with the prawns ( so tender! ) and mussels...

This is a delightfully relaxed, family, Italian restaurant. The Ravioli Del Giorno will be delicious whatever is on that day. The wine list is small but well chosen (try the rispasso). The staff are great. Koli was a real star with us. Highly recommended, especially...

This is a good and friendly option of restaurant to eat in Bristol. I definitely would recommend it to a friend visiting this city.

There were three of us in the party. On arrival we had a very warm greeting from all the staff. and were shown straight to your table. The restaurant was busy with a good New Year's Eve atmosphere. Order for drinks was taken very quickly...

We are so lucky to have this on our doorstep - fabulous freshly cooked food, good choices, generous portions fairly priced and friendly service.

We had a family meal this week. What a wonderful experience with lovely food and really friendly service from the manager Koli. Three of us had calamari to start and I had lovely home made soup. For main courses two of us had steak. One...

I was very impressed with my meal here with my family this Saturday, we had the seafood pizza and it was the best I have ever had. My wife had the pasta and it was amazing too. Food is clearly prepared fresh and the atmosphere...

A nice independent local restaurant with friendly and welcoming staff and consistent quality of food. Excellent pizzas and puddings.

We always come here for a special event with my family who travel from Wales! We moved nearby recently and have always been so welcomed and in particular as my partner is GF! Their pasta and mains are amazing, and it has such a wonderfully...

Myself and my husband visited here lunchtime to celebrate our anniversary. The service was excellent and the food outstanding! There was so much choice we have to return to try the rest of the menu!!!

I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for ages so I thought I would order a lasagne to takeaway. I opened the container to be presented with a burnt lasagne. It tasted awful and I had to throw it away. I defiantly wouldn’t recommend this...

I have visited this restaurant several times now and each time the food has been above average in taste, quality and quantity and the service is always excellent. The waiting staff are so cheerful and pleasant and it is a pleasure to dine there. I...

I have this evening enjoyed a delightful meal with friends at Al Fresco, Stoke Lane, Westbury-on-Trym. The service was very friendly and helpful. I had the tagliatelle in a delicious sauce. It was more than ample - so much so that I couldn't manage a...

We were looking forward to visiting Al Fresco when lockdown ended as previous meals were so enjoyable. Not this one, on the last Bank Holiday Monday. Firstly I'll say the drinks were good & service satisfactory. Food very disappointing - lamb chops overcooked (this had...

wanted outside no contact made to say unable to give table and on a bank holiday too late to book else ware

The food was very underwhelming. My main was the £20 fish dish, came with 3 prawns, 4 muscles (but one of them was missing from the shell) and 2 pieces of fish. The main was over cooked and rubbery. Food really wasn’t great. Had a...

Food was delicious as always and service from Rad was brilliant. Very friendly and polite! Love atmosphere and staff were amazing!

Four of us met at this Covid safe restaurant for a midweek lunch. We were all impressed with both the food and friendly, helpful service. I successfully managed to swap the mozzarella for olives, on my pizza (peculiar that I am..) but the antipasti plates,...

We had a really fab and tasty meal for the last night before second lockdown. Very busy with an almost New Years Eve atmosphere, but all very safe and social distance. Food and wine such a high standard, staff friendly and helpful. We will be...

Visited with friends on a Saturday night. Sanitiser etc available on entering and screens set up between some tables. On being taken to our table we were greeted by every member of staff that we passed, a very impressive piece of staff training and much...

Lovely to have this restaurant so near, becoming our Friday lunch go to. Great attentive friendly service . Basically working our way through the menu !

First visited this restaurant (which is within walking distance) during the eat out to help out scheme. Previous visit was when it was Valentinos where we became less and less impressed. We visited as a party of 6, food and service was all at a...

Ok. So this was our first meal out since the 10pm curfew came in. We met at 6.30 instead of 7pm. Fantastic 3 course meal. I highly recommend the Mushroom Risotto! The staff are wearing face masks. Screens are in place, hand sanitizer on entry....
