Ciao in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great service, even though restaurant was completely full. The menu contains all the Italian staples and the food was of a high standard. Across our group we had starters, pasta and pizza - all were very good. The salmon pasta was particularly good. Great little find, can't wait to go back!

Amazing local spot. Great food and good value.

After few disappointments recently finally I had one of the best carbonaras ever! Very pleasant restaurant, genuinely friendly owner and value for money excellent!

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. They went above and beyond in every aspect. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

Very nice food, fantastic service. Very friendly definitely going back

3rd time coming this evening. 10/10 always, food is amazing, hospitality is amazing. Best Italian I’ve been to in Bristol

Lovely atmosphere, food is amazing for the price. Lovely local spot. 100% recommend.

Pizza and desert were amazing, definitely recommended!

If it’s Pizza you want then it’s pizza you get. Personally nothing special here but a very good standard pizza. Nothing more nothing less. Service was good, drinks come fast and they were very friendly. I didn’t think the food matched the service.

The delicious and ample portions at this friendly neighbourhood restaurant are outstanding! The prices are reasonable, especially for the quality. Every dish delights.

Came here today with my son for local Saturday lunch. Food is typical Italian fare but very well executed. Waiter was quick and friendly which was good seeing as it was quite busy for a local. Will definitely come back soon. Only negative would be for some daily specials! J

Main thing is good food & this was lush. Had a pizza 8 welcome. For the disabled. Carpeted ramp up to decking area not steep long slope under cover so out of any bad weather. . Level inside to out, no steps. Toilet for standing/seating only. Staff will assist if required. Will accommodate wheelchair users inside, i would suggest to arrange in advance to alleviate any stress. Plenty of room in decking area if inside fully booked.

VERY friendly, reminds me of the restaurants from my childhood in Italy, good solid local restaurant, nothing fancy but what there is is delicious

Excellent food and service as always 😁

As always, the food, service and ambience is perfect. The chef is excellent and always produces great food. I’ve been coming here for many years and the staff are polite and helpful. I can genuinely say that they care. I’ve never been here when customers have had any complaints. They have always left happy. It’s lovely to see a family run business with love

Unfortunately after having many lovely meals here in the past our food today wasn’t up to the normal high standard, I questioned if there was a different chef on today for this reason, everything was over cooked making the meat dry and bit tough, chips were hollow and looked like they have been double fried, my starters was over swamped in olive oil, I had bruschetta so it made the ciabatta very soggy with far too many chopped up tomatoes covered in what tasted like a vinaigrette, it looked like a main meal rather than a starters, it was an Anniversary meal and thought it would be a lovely treat and left very disappointed, there was nothing Italian about how our meal was cooked and tasted and I have eaten in a lot of Italian restaurants, the waitress was lovely and very friendly but we won’t be coming back again which is a shame

Lovely little italian. Tasty food and a fun atmosphere. Would recommend.

Everything was outstanding and suth Lovely place

Lovely small restaurant with very pleasant al fresco closed/opened terrace.The food is on the upper average side, correctly priced for this standard.The service is good, the staff is very friendly.

It's a friendly Italian with fantastic food

Always a favourite. Lucky to have a such a lovely family run Italian restaurant within walking distance. Great food, fabulous service - I'd highly recommend.

Really enjoyable lunchtime meal. The seafood risotto was especially good

Fantastic.. food and service is top draw

A lovely place yo stop off before our flight staff were welcoming and attentive it was early in day so less people in there but good for us with small children.

Never had a bad meal here...its bloody delicious 😋

Been here many times, my favourite dish is the salmon & pasta, always fresh ingredients anything you get on the menu. :)

Food was lovely!on the way home I realised I didn't have my note book on me!Do you have it?

A nice restaurant where I would eat at least three times a week just to encourage such family businesses where the food is good and you are served and welcomed warmly.

Thanks to our friends at Ciao for another beautiful evening. Thanks for making my birthday night out so special. Such a lovely family. Always make you feel special

Absolutely fantastic dinner experience, great service, warm welcoming. Highly recommend.

Friends (who frequent this establishment) invited us to dinner here last night. All I can say is OMG! I had Mozzarella Milanese for starter - the pieces of Mozzarella in breadcrumbs were delicious along with the separate dish of homemade tomato sauce and side salad. I had Carbonara for main - the pasta was cooked to perfection, the sauce was tasty without being heavily seasoned and the bacon pieces, which there were an abundance of, were super tasty. For desert, I had Profiteroles - a beautifully decorated mound of profiteroles, cream and chocolate sauce was divine. In my opinion, the portion sizes were perfect and the prices are hugely reasonable. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. We are from Weston super Mare, but we will be visiting many time in the future!

thank you for wonderful food, service and atmosphere. everyone of us (party of 9) had a fantastic night. we will be back

Yumm food 😋 Excellent seafood pizza, Marina GREAT HOSTS ✨️

Had our Christmas work meal here was a lovely place and atmosphere 😋

Spent a lovely lunchtime here with family. Great food ,service and atmosphere. Much like the Terminator, I'll be back!

Ciao is absolutly fab. Really tasty Italian food Well priced Really lovely staff. Go there often and won't stop!!! Fab outdoor seating.

Went there for family night out dinner, the team are very friendly and welcoming especially Linda and Eddie, food is amazingly delecious and the prices are reasonable, would higly recommend.

Went here on a Friday after to work celebrate a colleague leaving work and emigrating. Starters were very nice and reasonably priced. Most of us had pizza as a main they were quite tasty and we were given boxes to take home what we couldn't finish. Drinks were expensive! £8.50 for 2 halves of lager shandy! Nice big outside area with a a roof to shelter you from wind and rain or the option to sit inside. No parking on site, but found plenty on the surrounding roads. Would return. 😃

Fantastic food and service as always

Absolute gem on our door step fresh tasty food, which is very reasonable cost and friendly staff

Family of 4 had a wonderful, authentic food and the atmosphere of Italy. Big thumbs up 👍👍

A great midweek Italian experience with decent portion sizes.

Amazing pizza, but was blown away by customer service offered. Having come from a festival with my wife and young son, we stopped off here as we couldn’t get a taxi and our son was hungry and tired. Although it was late they welcomed us in and were great to my son. With the taxi’s not turning up the son Aldo made sure we got to our car to get home. Aldo is a credit to the family and business, we will definitely be back ASAP, as the hospitality was 1st class and we’re looking forward to trying the food!

Random pit stop enroute Wales. Can honestly say it is of the best Italian experiences me and my wife have ever had. Fresh ingredients, right mix of spices, perfect texture, served with a smile. What more can one ask for?!👌

Amazing food, service, a relaxing, friendly atmosphere. A bit of Italy in Bristol.

Nice food, the lasagne felt a bit bare without a side salad

Take the family.. Take your partner. Good food for everyone!

Very good enjoyed our night Will definitely return thanks

Always friendly and fell welcomed Nice family business When we have had food here it has been amazing

Food was pretty poor. With a party of four and not one empty dish. The Special Pizza had uncooked peppers on it. The base needed a saw to get through it Pizza was served on an unstable stand and would have ended up on the floor. To be honest wish it had now. Service was a bit hit and miss. Not for me at all. More food went home and I understand was disposed off. Just poor all round.

Very friendly staff that treat you like family, would highly recommend this place, great atmosphere lovely food all cooked fresh on the premises

We've become loyal regulars to this lovely little Italian, and always take friends and family to sample the food if they're visiting Bristol. This is a family owned restaurant, and you absolutely feel that reflected in both the food and the service. The pizza is truly phenomenal!

I would leave zero stars if I could. We had booked for two. When we arrived, there were no space. They squeezed us in the middle of two table. However, they were struggling to put the second chair. So they pushed the table towards me so they could accommodate a very small chair for my daughter who has limited physical ability in her legs. Her legs got squashed, so suddenly I saw a table that got vacant. I asked the gentleman who owns the restaurant and he said that it is okay for us to move. So we moved to better table so my daughter could sit easily. We had our drinks as well. I moved them myself since I want to help. In that moment suddenly the lady who’s name is Linda, the manager came very very angrily towards us shouting at my poor daughters and my face to move back to that tiny space. She said there are other two people that she had promised them the table (we were actually had come before those two people) .I told her that her husband said it is okay and also we had also booked beforehand. She was very hysterical and really scary, and told us that her husband is not the boss, she is the boss. When I saw my daughter shaking of anxiety, I said okay we will leave. Her husband came and told us not to. So they started shouting at each other. She said that those two were regulars and they are more important than us. He said, “this two are also regular and moreover this table is more suited for her disability “. At this moment we were actually at door to leave, Linda the manager got so furious, that I thought she would explode . She screamed “ I don’t care about her disability! Or if the booked earlier, they are not allowed to sit here “. We left, very disappointed. My poor daughter was shaking . The owner who I assume is Linda's husband came after us in the street and apologised and told us that he appreciates us as regular costumer and remembers that we have been there tons of times. I must say I do appreciate his apology and still feel sorry for him. But I think I have to stand up for a bully like Linda. I did not want to spoil dinner for poor people in restaurant so I kept a low profile and didn’t engage in her “monologue”, however I feel it is important For me to write what happened there. I will also will contact citizen advice about discrimination that we have experienced.

Excellent Italian food. Warm welcome. Genuine passion for what they do.

Weve eaten there a few times, staff are very friendly and professional. Service excellent and the food is lovely...well worth it.

Amazing food and super friendly staff, really love this place will be back again.

Food was fabulous as always. Beware of snooty locals

Delicious food, prompt service, friendly staff.

We love their pizzas and they’re always hot when we collect for takeaway. The guy who works at the front is very friendly and helpful.

Really great food, staff is very friendly

Great food and always a fantastic welcome.

Really nice spot for a bite to eat. Good atmosphere, we had lunch, pasta and salad. And good value.

Went here on a Saturday night with some friends for a bite and few drinks. The hole experience was great. Best staff I've been looked after for a long time! They couldn't do enough to make our evening as good as possible. Food was great. Wine was good. And the deserts we're really nice. Just a shame they had run out of lemonchello. So now we'll have to go back! Looking forward to it. Definitely recommend!

Super friendly and lovely food. Couldn't have asked for more this evening.

Lovely Italian restaurant with authentic dishes.

Bardzo dobre włoskie jedzenie i super restauracja

Great food and service and generally just a place to enjoy Italian food with your mates!

Bellissimo, a wonderful atmosphere. Family is core to the business and it's highlighted through the creative intake of array of different Italian dishes. Friendly staff and a relaxing environment, tucked away behind the hippodrome. A must for foodies.

Good Italian food at affordable prices. Great atmosphere, too!

Very nice experience with a friendly atmosphere! The waiters were excellent and were very polite and helpful. The food was good and tasty. It’s nice to have a good local place. They were great at catering to our party and put us in two tables of four for covid safety. The only downside was that the starters came after the main course but apart from that it was great! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area

A regular venue for date night before lock down, I worked late today and on the way home asked if they would be able to deliver a meal later on. They happily agreed, so on arriving home mentioned it to my wife. We ordered a meal, which was delivered in good time, and as good as we have enjoyed in the restaurant. Many thanks.

Best pizzas we've had in a long time and they were able to have them ready for collection within 20 minutes! Will definitely be returning to try out the rest of the menu soon.

Ciao has maintained its excellent standard and offers delicious, reasonably priced and ample take away during Covid. The staff are unfailingly friendly and helpful and we are fortunate in having Ciao nearby. Thank you Ciao!

Great pizza and pasta. Very friendly staff create and nice relaxed atmosphere.

Food here is excellent, and served with a smile from a lively husband and wife partnership.

Lovely food. Pleasant young waiter.

Just had a great quality meal at a very reasonable price. Thank you.

Lovely, friendly atmosphere, very helpful. Couldnt do enough for us. Xx

Absolutley lovely food, and a really nice spot to sit outside and people watch, the staff are really kind and attentive! I went for the first time a couple of weeks ago and been back numerous amount of times since!

Great atmosphere sat outside tonight. Service great with all the appropriate precautions and distancing which allowed us to have a relaxing meal which was extremely tasty.

Had a 10 inch meat feast pizza & I could of counted the meat on both hands. Will not be going back back again

Really good menu selection. Good and service fab. would really recommend 😁😁

First visit to this local Italian, staff friendly and welcoming the prices are very reasonable, the food is good will visit again.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Wicked Pizzas!

Great local Italian, selling good food and wine. Good service local recommendation

Lovely food and friendly staff. Reasonably priced and good portion sizes too. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this local restaurant for both eating in and takeaway (which is always ready in a very timely fashion). Superb.

Traditional Italian menu with good food and service.

Absolutely delightful. Even though I'd only been twice before, even though shut for afternoon break, they welcomed me like an old friend and had the chef make something for me especially. So kind and hospitable.

Great little restaurant, great atmosphere. The family really make you feel welcomed. Take away or seating in nothing is too much trouble. Will definitely be visiting again and again.

Great restaurant, high quality food.

One of our favourite restaurants in Bristol. Excellent, fresh food with a very fair range to suit all tastes. Friendly, cheerful staff make you feel like one of the family without being intrusive. Do go - you won’t be disappointed!

Sadly, only people here for lunch midweek but apparently the owners were away. The waiter seemed rather nervous! However we had a really lovely lunch, the lasagne was a joy. Only complaint was the desserts were rather drowned with cream - profiteroles and tiramisu. But very reasonable prices and would love to return just for the lasagne! Just one tip - as their email on the web site didn't work - there are lots of spelling mistakes on the web site... find this rather disappointing...

Fantastic service and yummy food.

The menu had lots of appealing options and the food we had was very good and very pleasant service. A good find!

Friendly service nice simple food

Just dropped in for a quick bite to eat, ordered a lasagne..... One of the better ones I have had

Comida italiana saborosa. Ambiente simples, porém muito gostoso e preço justo.

We stopped for a quick lunch as Ciao looked inviting. I had the tagliatelle seafood and my partner had a vegetarian omelet. Both our dishes were delicious and very generous in portion. There is a lowered price for the dishes for lunch.

We have been going to Ciao for a while now. They are always very kind to us and so welcoming despite our energetic three children. Our family favourite (especially the pizza).

Three friends and I have just had a lovely evening at Ciao. The service was excellent and the waiter couldn’t do enough to provide the meals according to our taste (less of this, more of that). The quantities were plentiful without being wasteful and were hot and delicious. There was a good ambience and plenty of space at the tables, without feeling you’re intruding on others’ space. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and I would recommend Ciao to others.
