Bianchis in South Gloucestershire

Teníamos una mesa de 27 personas para una cena de obras. El personal era increíble, tan atento, hospitalario y amable con absolutamente todo el mundo. El momento de la comida fue increíble, la relación calidad-precio fue sensacional y la Merluza fue una de las mejores comidas, si no la mejor comida que he tenido en Bristol durante mucho tiempo. Absolutamente perfecto en todos los aspectos : )

Vaya, vaya. Verdadera comida italiana, cocinada y sabrosa fabulosa. Ambiente muy agradable, servicio bueno y personal muy servicial que le hablan a través del menú y hacen recomendaciones. Recomendaría encarecidamente Bianchis, si quieres buena comida italiana.

Started with the focaccia and olives - both fab - then ox cheek pasta. Beautifully cooked. The only disappoint was the non alcoholic cocktail, as mote and more people aren't drinking it would be good to see more / nicer options. Really fab overall experience and really great vibes

This is a great find! Lovely atmosphere and service. We very much enjoyed the food - octopus, king prawns and burrata all really nice to start with. Ragu pasta, risotto and schnitzel for mains were just as good. All in all a great find, the only gripe we had was that the wine was very over priced for what it was.

What a fantastic restaurant. Loved the food and the service was first class. A bit out of the way but well worth the effort. I had the Hake (a personal favourite). It was beautifully cooked - perfect. Next time I visit I’ll ask for a table in the front part of the restaurant as the back section got very noisy as the evening progressed. Too much for my old ears.

I cannot lie, Bianchis is a personal favourite. It is a place I go to, when I crave quality Italian food, I particularly like the fish and rissoto. The wine selection is always good. The staff are great and the place has such a cool vibe. I always recommend to friends. Never been let down. Had one of my favourite dessert's of all time here, Limoncello Tiramisu, fab! This visit the Lamb and Pork were the highlights. Everything was great, but these dishes were particularly good.

Service was delightful but the food was disappointing. The staff were very helpful at describing the dishes. But we expected better food as the restaurant was highly recommended. The crab linguine was tasty but no crab flavour and the lamb chop was huge: too much, too fatty and the whole dish was too salty. My partner never complains but he left a lot of the food. Also. Charging £3.75 for a herb tea but only £3.50 for a coffee, was a bad ending. A shame as we had high expectations. Sorry.

Superb start to finish. Top class restaurant that may seem expensive but is spectacular value. As good as it gets in its price bracket.

I took a friend to celebrate their birthday and was very disappointed. Firstly got put on a tiny table in the corner of the main area, just big enough for service but cramped. First course was a stale and dried out arancini, that had been over cooked. Our mains were a crab pasta dish that was tasteless and had no seasoning and a fried chicken with a bland salad. We shared a dessert but that was likewise an average dish. I would have complained at the time but didn’t want to embarrass my friend. To add insult the meal with wine cost over £100 for two and did not re[resent value for money. You can eat much better Italian food for far less in Bristol and I would not recommend Bianchis.

A friendly welcome to a cosy table. Good choice of delicious dishes on the menu, which the serving staff were happy to explain. Food was very tasty and well presented. Relaxed atmosphere.

Firstly, an apology, I'm sorry that in the years I've been eating here, this is the 1st time I've written a review. I'm also sorry that I only eat here a couple of times a year but if I ate here more, would it be as special? On this visit, as with previous visits, everything was fantastic. Service was, as usual, attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. As for the food, it us a perfect example of why I love Italian food, the depth of flavour, the detail, the ingrediants combined with perfect prep and cooking mean that it is a joy from start to finish. Hard to pick a favourite dish, everything was delicious but the Octopus was something special! Bianchis, please never change.

Did the catering for my Nieces wedding and it was truly amazing. The food was fabulous, the staff were truly brilliant. Not only did they provide the food for the wedding breakfast, bit pizzas in the evening. The best Italian food i have ever tasted, in particular the ox cheek lasagne!

This really is a fantastic restaurant. It looks great inside, the staff are excellent - both on the ball with service as well as polite and chatty and also know all the dishes well, if you happen to have a question. The food is probably the best Italian food I've had in Bristol. I would def come again.

Wow! My wife and I have just dined here at Bianichis for a birthday treat. It was an amazing meal and a world apart from your standard Italian “bistro”. The burrata was to die for! And a great wine list. As a guide, we paid £150 for two but didn’t hold back on anything! Would definitely recommend this small , niche Italian restaurant if you want something a little different.

Fantastic evening celebrating our anniversary. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. We had our newborn son with us and the restaurant were very accommodating to ensure we had enough space and were comfortable. The food was delicious, we particularly enjoyed the garlic prawns and chicken Milanese. Fantastic drinks selection and the best Apreol Spritz! Thank you for a wonderful evening. We are looking forward to retuning already.

What a disappointment. Staff were great, friendly & knowledgeable, ambiance very pleasant the disappoint was the food. It was tasty but the portion size was very small. I had the hake as a main and I thought it was a starter. I know restaurants are having a hard time but a £21 that is taking the biscuit. The puds at £7 were tiny. I left feeling hungry & ripped off.

A bit out of the way, but a great Italian. Food was very good. Menu could of do with a few more choices but would go again if I'm in Bristol. Staff were great. Food was well cooked

Lovely restaurant set in a quirky part of Bristol away from the city centre. Great wine and food coupled with really friendly service. We would definitely visit again.

We booked in for a Friday evening for dinner. We had requested a quiet space and they had taken care to reserve us a table away from a noisy large party which was appreciated. This is a small restaurant so you will never escape all...

A lovely restaurant nestled on the corner of Picton Street. My partner and I have been trying lots of local Italian restaurants and this didn’t disappoint. The food was to die for and we barely spoke during our meal as we were enjoying it so...

Great restaurant! Food and service outstanding. Not your typical Italian restaurant. Visited with family whilst over her from Australia and loved every minute of eating here!

I love this Resturant, great vibe, great location, brilliant food and great staff. Go on Sundays, for an Italian Sunday Lunch. The pork is to die for, wonderful roasties and brilliant vegetables. All together it is just yummy.

We came to Bianchis on Valentines day and it was faultless. We came back with friends and we were a little bit disappointed as we said how amazing it was. Firstly our waiter was amazing the staff are fab. We had lamb skewers they were...

Wednesday night dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary and the end of dry Jan! Parking is tricky in that area so watch out. We managed a space a street away. Restaurant was busy even at 7pm with only a couple of tables left. Service was...

Five of our family had lunch to celebrate a birthday. Food and wines were absolutely delicious. We appreciated the interesting information from our waitress about the Italian wines on offer. The arancinis were the best I've ever had! The hake, venison and pasta dishes were...

Tonight at Montpellier in Bristol service, staff very very good drinks good. then it ended. food over salty in fact the only thing i could taste was salt in the hake and mussel . pasta and crab bisque under cooked pasta minus the limited bisque...

We visited as a family of 4 for our son's 21st birthday and had a wonderful evening. Lovely ambience, friendly knowledgeable service and above all, truly delicious food and very good, reasonably priced wine. Our highlights were the arancini and steak tartare antipasti, the pasta...

Just back from an evening at Bianchis, it’s an ok experience but Jaw droppingly dissapointing by the size of the portions. My starter three of the seas smallest sardines, nicely cooked however. My whole plaice on the bone main course was nicely cooked but I...

Not giving so much detail. We had a horrible experience tonight at Bianchis restaurant Bristol. Treated my husband like sh**. Not recommended

Bianchis is tucked away just of the popular Gloucester road area, a compact restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere. The menu has plenty to choose from , they recommend a starter a pasta dish and a main very clever and all adds to the price point...

I’ve been to Bianchis many times over the past 18 months as my work occasionally brings me to Bristol. Tonight was possibly the last time I’m going to be in Bristol and I went (as nearly always) to Bianchis. Food is delicious, wine is excellent,...

Took my family there for a meal and where looked after so well. Wine list is insane and food was so awesome we didn't want to leave. Try the graph it's soooooo good!

Having returned for holiday in Sorrento, could an Italian trattoria in a Bristol neighbourhood deliver the goods? I should never have doubted it. In spite of challenging heatwave conditions, all of the serving staff carried on with smiles on their faces and the food was...

Not a restaurant review but Bianchis provided the canapes for the preview of the recent Coe Gallery exhibition at The Vestibules in City Hall. Highlight was the caramelised onion crostini, just delicious. Thank you Jasmine Coe and Amy and thank you Bianchis. Will definitely be...

Amazing pizza! The pizza is so tasty and fresh, good portions and love that it came with a little pizza cutter. The pesto was a bit much, as it drowned the pizza in oil, but was still very tasty. Service was a tad slow, but...

Myself and my new husband came here in the couple days after we got married. The food was absolutely incredible, but this is not unexpected from this groups of restaurants. The atmosphere and the restaurant was beautiful. The food was absolutely incredible, the vegetarian dishes...

I took my boyfriend and my dad to Bianchi's and we all loved it! The atmosphere is very authentically Italian, as is the food, not to mention delicious!! Their wine selection is top notch as well! The service is very attentive and friendly!! I will...

We visited on a friday night as a couple and shared some small plates and had separate mains. There is a good amount of choice for all courses and the food was really good. What stood out for me was the service though - all...

First time but not the last! Previous reviews were spot on, authentic tasty food in unassuming location with faultless service. Try it you will not be disappointed!

I've been to Bianchis a few times recently on my visits to Bristol (heard about the place having read a recommendation by Jay Rayner in The Guardian). Each visit the staff have been friendly and helpful. The food, without exception, is superb. Highly recommended!

This was one, if not the best, Italian meal I have eaten. An ever-changing dinner menu with limited choices - which I love. Superbly cooked and presented food and excellent atmosphere. The staff were helpful and attentive and were extra helpful when helping my wife...

Bianchis hospitality is legendary, and the food is delicious. If you're a foodie this is a must visit, and there is also a fabulous lunch set course menu. Definitely one of my favourite Bristol restaurants. Will definitely be back.

The atmosphere was buzzing when we arrived at Bianchis; the place looks enticing and inside its well turned out. The pasta dishes are undoubtedly the real strength of the menu with the wild boar ragu a real favourite. Some of the dishes lacked a little...

We visited for lunch on Saturday to celebrate our anniversary with our 18 month year old daughter. We always worry about bringing our daughter, but the team we really warm and welcoming and the first thing they did was bring her a little glass and...

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and we received a really warm welcome. I went with three friends on a busy Sunday afternoon. The service was great throughout, attentive but not too much. All the food was fresh and tasty - nothing was left on...

Really lovely celebration meal with my fiancé! Ben made us feel welcome from the very start and we were offered complementary fizz on arrival. The service was excellent- friendly and professional. The food was incredible - perfectly cooked and an exciting thoughtful menu. The wine...

Party of four on Saturday night a weekend or two ago, having been to San Carlo earlier in the week for lunch. Bianchi's blew San Carlo away! Great helpful friendly staff, delicious food, v good wine list. lively but not loud atmosphere. Only quibble was...

It was a rainy , windy night and as soon as we stepped inside this fabulous restaurant, we knew we were in for a treat! It reminded me of the beautiful neighbourhood restaurants in old Greenwich village in NY, warm friendly staff team , white...

I am a HUGE fan of pasta loco and pasta ripiena and had been longing to try Bianchis for ages. I’d heard amazing things from everyone who’d been and knowing how amazing the food is in the other two restaurants in the chain I felt...

My first experience of Bianchi's having had excellent food and service at the sister restaurants, Pasta Loco and Past Ripiena and I was not disappointed. We had our previously arranged wedding anniversary plans cancelled due to CV19 issues, but I couldn't give a hoot after...

Imaginatively delicious food, lively atmosphere, fabulous service and good value for money means that this excellent restaurant lives up to the high standards set by its predecessor on the site, the legendary Bells Diner

Had a really superb meal here. Waitress was really helpful. Fantastic wine list The only downside was having to vacate our table after 90 minutes and have desserts in the bar area

I wouldn't say the food is Italian, the feel is much more "modern British" style, although it uses several Italian ingredients and pasta is featured. Anyway, this is really just a side point, as all that matter after all is quality. The primi were not...

Everything we ate was excellent, absolutely first class . The staff were fantastic as always! Thank you

This is a wonderful restaurant, a hidden treat, which I will be recommending to everyone and returning when I can. Beautiful Italian food, delicious and clearly made with love. Staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and our waitress was wonderful. Great wine selection. I recommend ordering...

What a lovely restaurant! First visit and will definitely be back. Could become our local favourite. The atmosphere, with all the wood, the green and the plants was really lovely. Kind of takes you back in time a bit. Service was pretty outstanding and as...

This place is a real treat. We had a superb lunch, with absolutely fantastic, quality dishes. The ingredients were fresh, delicious and full of flavour. The service was impeccable and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We will be coming back here and recommending...

Treated myself to a pos lock down meal at Bianchis. The food was wonderful. Both the Scollops and Hake were special. The place has a wonderful vibe. Would recommend.

We remember this building many moons ago as Bells Diner...it is now a great Italian restaurant and part of a small group...like all places it can soar or fall with the staff...our waitress was totally brilliant and we had a fun evening....food and wine all...

A wonderful restaurant tucked away in Montpelier - the first thing is the staff. We had Magda and she is so knowledgable and helpful. And the food - just wow - mixed plates to start and primo for seconds was delicious. Will be going back

Always delicious with the best service. Sunday lunch beetroot tortellini was the best beetroot I’ve ever tasted.

Best lunch I've had in Bristol. Expectations were high after Loco and Ripiena, but amazingly I think this exceeded them. The restaurant has been nicely done out, but keeps much of its charm. Love the green theme. Staff were friendly, polite, and just the right...

Awesome food and expert service from the lovely Joe, who kindly talked us through everything on the menu - looking forward to going back already! Chocolate cake was a particular highlight.

I'm not usually one for reviewing restaurants but my partner and I went to Bianchi's last night for my birthday and we were both pretty bowled over so I thought a review was necessary! Everything was spot on-friendly, knowledgeable and attentive service (special thanks to...

I've visited the other restaurants from this team and they are truly excellent. Bianchi's has a little of that magic but didn't quite work for me. The best dish was the pasta- hardly surprising given the success of Pasta Loco and Pasta Ripena. Had I...

Wonderful Valentine’s Meal Had a magnificent meal with my boyfriend here on this special occasion and received nothing but 5 star service and food! The kitchen was super accommodating with dietary requirements and our lovely server Mek made sure we were well looked after. 10/10...

I went to Bianchis after a foodie friend said that it was the best food he had in Bristol last year. What a challenge but having been there for lunch, I agree. I had brill as a starter and my friend had the red mullet...

This place was fantastic . It had a lot to live upto as my friends had been for lunch and had raved about it. It did not disappoint. The atmosphere was vibrant , exciting and happy. I had a delicious cocktail to start the evening...

Just had lunch here - really impressed. Well priced, delicious food with good recommendations from the staff. The brawn was out of this world and not something I would normally have gone for but now in my top 3 dishes of the last twelve months!...

Outstanding food. Really enjoyed the raw onglet, raw artichoke and nasturtium. Really enjoyed the service; just right. The vin Maury tuilé was a revelation. Could not recommend enough.

I’d been waiting to go here for a while as I had heard good things. It was a lovely meal, but for me it just didn’t quite merit that 5/5. A small annoyance is that it is not clear on the website that the 2/3/4...

Brilliant food, had a fantastic Risotto and a Wonderful Baked Alaska. Such a difference since my last visit.

Absolutely delicious meal. Great ambience, romantic yet lively. We’ve visited pasta loco and pasta ripiena and can say this matches their excellence! Would recommend getting an anti pasti, primi and a secondi so you can try everything! Puddings were really good as well. Also really...

My partner and I came here for a little celebration dinner and it was the most perfect choice. A lively yet intimate space, we felt both at home and perfectly looked after at the same time. From arrival to leaving the service was excellent, attentive...

I would give more than 5 stars if I could. This was an excellent lunch which we can in no way fault. The service was great and the staff so helpful and friendly. Yes, it was a little chilly when we arrived but we were...

Another opening from the team behind the highly successful Pasta Loco and Pasta Ripiena restaurants, this occupies the site of what was the legendary Bell’s Diner for many years and so has very high standards to live up to both in terms of this particular...

Group of six people ate here on a cold night. We were seated in the front room and it was freezing! We did have the opportunity to move to a table in the back warmer room which we declined as it was the start of...

Treated to dinner here last night, and it was absolutely superb. Everything was fresh and light and full of flavour. The carpaccio of scallops was amazing, the veal osso bucco with risotto so good, and all the other dishes we had - we tasted each...

Had an absolutely outstanding lunch here. Lovely, friendly staff and faultless food. Special shout-out to the masterfully prepared old fashioned and the delicious venison gnocchi.

Sorry to say but the place was like sub zero temperature, they had heaters and said they knew the place was cold, but most peole were sat in coats and scarfs. Food was great, but overall due to the temperature was not a great experience,...

Bianchis what a special experience. Everything from the staff, to the food, to the vibe was amazing. Our waiter was personable, knowledgeable, an absolute dream boat. The food was beautiful, still salivating when thinking about it, two days later. The beets are a must, the...

Bianchis is creative Italian food - non pretentious, each plate offering fresh exquisite flavours and fantastic to be able to choose so many Gluten Free and Dairy Free options. How often does that happen in an Italian! Our party of 6 shared different dishes so...

Starter missing key ingredient. Beats served without Balsamic vinegar. Made it quite boring. Coffee and desert order. Got coffee, had to remind them about Burnt Lemon Tart. The food very nice. But not as exciting as the old Bells Diner. Lighting made reading the menu...

Went to celebrate a family birthday (10 of us). Lovely, chilled out atmosphere, attentive staff and food was faultless. All dishes, starters, mains and puddings were excellent. The menu provided a great choice and the quality of the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend and...

I will keep this short, as I can see what I’m writing after the first three sentences. So if you have a chance GO check this place out. Amazingly brilliant!!!

I wanted to try everything on the menu here and our selection delivered a veritable feast of flavours. Fresh and seasonal, but heavily nodding towards traditional Italian trattoria dishes; we happily noshed our way through several courses including octopus, the tastiest ravioli I’ve ever eaten...

My husband and I went to Bianchis for my birthday lunch on Friday. We are fans of Pasta Loco and Ripiena so we knew we were in for a treat! We had to have the famous focaccia again- never disappoints! Our starters were utterly gorgeous...

Visited Bianchis last night after a long 6 week wait for our booking! We are avid lovers of this family of restaurants, having visited Pasta Loco and Pasta Ripiena a good few times. We were not left disappointed! A beautiful and relaxed atmosphere with cute...
