La Famiglia in Bath and North East Somerset

My go to place for Italian. Great tasting food at a reasonable price. Staff are always efficient, pleasant and accommodating. Lovely relaxed vibe too and nice decor. Don't be put off by it's location beside a car wash!

Such lovely staff and really nice food. Shame about the some of the customers

Had a great night, they made a pizza especially for me! Thankyou Evie and Brian for a great night, we all had a lovely evening

We had a lovely experience as a table of 4; we tried a variety of starters and mains and were happy with them all. The service from Brian and Evie was exceptional, it made for a great night for us all!

Food and wine was unreal ! Quick service and very friendly! Then to top it of the desserts was out of this world. Highly recommend

Nice quite and cozy restaurant. Pizzas and pastas were nice.

Pre ordered our meals, the food was soggy, n the bolognaise was very watery. The waiting service was very poor, just young students stood about chatting, not even came over n said how are your meals, we had a long wait for all of our food, over an hour. Not all the food came out at the same time. Awful service and poor customer service . Totally needs a change, or it won’t be trading in the future.

Omg that was amazing. I'm ceoliac and I can't praise enough. Will be back.

La Famiglia in Bristol is an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine! From the moment I walked in, the warm, family-style atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, which only adds to the overall experience. I started my meal with their famous La Famiglia pasta, and it was incredible! The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the sauce was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with fresh ingredients. The dish had a comforting, homemade feel, yet the flavors were elevated and sophisticated—absolutely spot on! And then... the cheesecake. Oh my goodness. I’m still dreaming about it. This was, without a doubt, the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. Creamy, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness with a perfectly buttery crust. It was indulgent without being too heavy, and the portion size was just right to satisfy your sweet tooth without going overboard. Overall, La Famiglia Bristol delivered on every front—amazing food, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're craving classic Italian dishes or just looking for an incredible dessert, this place is an absolute winner. Highly, highly recommend! I can’t wait to go back!

Wouldn’t recommend We visited yesterday for a birthday meal and left disappointed. To start, the service was dreadful. 4 young teenagers / adults who spent most of the time stood behind the bar talking. We weren’t asked for a second round of drinks or how our food was. We watched one young girl stand behind the bar for the entire 1.5 hour visit, the only time she left was to add Parmesan to our plates. As we were attending for a birthday, I dropped a small cake off an hour or so before our booking. The lady who I spoke with was also our server. However, the cake never came out, we asked for the cake back and left. The food was ok, nothing special. We waited around 40 minutes for 1 garlic bread starter. I wouldn’t recommend the Shellfish pasta. There were many pieces of broken shell mixed in with food which made chewing tricky. The carbonara was luke warm but the meatballs were hot so a real mix of reviews between the group.

**La Famiglia Italian Restaurant - A Pleasant Family Dining Experience** I recently visited La Famiglia Italian Restaurant and had an overall pleasant experience, though there were a few areas that could be improved. To start, we ordered garlic bread and bruschetta, which were absolutely fantastic! The garlic bread was perfectly crispy, and the bruschetta was fresh and flavorful—definitely a highlight of the meal. However, the main course, a classic lasagne, was a bit of a letdown. It took quite a long time to arrive from the kitchen, and when it did, it was just okay—not bad, but nothing particularly memorable. What stood out most, though, was the service. The two youngsters running the front of house were brilliant—friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. It was refreshing to see such great service, especially from such a young team. Overall, La Famiglia is a nice spot for a family meal. While it might not be the best Italian restaurant I've been to, it's still a solid choice for a relaxed evening out. With a bit of work on the timing and consistency of the main dishes, it could easily become a go-to local favorite.

Extremely slow service! Hot drink as if it had just come off the supermarket shelf. I went with my family and we left extremely disappointed. After waiting 50 minutes we had to look for another place to eat because the children were very hungry and we would still have to wait a long time. The restaurant was empty and the wait was absurd. Terrible experience! Super dirty bathroom.

Mixed feelings with this place. We ordered 4 takeaway pizzas and they said to be collected at X time. We arrived at that time and we had to wait another 15 min. They finally gave us the pizzas and drove straight home (3 min away) and mine was absolutely cold, so disappointing for a £16 pizza! The rest of them were fine though. Not sure if i would come back.

Excellent pizza and the best cheesecake I've ever had .. young waiter and waitress were great.

booked online to go there last night at 7 and not impressed. Drove from patchway to be greeted with a note on the front door saying they were closed and on holiday for 2 weeks. Nice of you to change your booking sysem. Was really looking forward to it as been there a little while ago and was very happy. but not this time

Visited with friends and family for an early dinner. Called ahead to book, no issues there. On arrival we were seated at our table which was so sticky that the napkins tore apart when you tried to lift them off the table. Glasses for the table water had stains on them which also put us off. However, the portion sizes were good, and the food flavoursome, but have to agree with other reviewers that the service and attention to detail are somewhat lacking. Could easily make it four stars with some work.

Waited an hour and a half for our meal then the potatoes and veg didn't turn up !. The worst meal we have had lately. Do not recomend. Booked it a while before. No excuse.

Allow plenty of time as it took an hour and a half for food to arrive. Then the potatoes and veg never arrived. Would not visit again.

Staying in Bath we looked at lots of Italian restaurants but there menu's weren't great for non meat eaters like ourselves. Then we remembered this restaurant just out of Saltford which we have drove past many times previously. The Menu looked nice for us so we gave it a try. The setting is a little unusual as the building seems to have previously been some type of garage but inside it is immaculate with a really smart decor and a really welcoming atmosphere. The young Waiter was polite, friendly and helpful with good knowledge about the dishes on offer without being over the top . Cooking times weren't rushed either which we thought was a good thing too. Garlic Mushroom and Calamari starters were both tasty then we followed with a vegetarian lasagne and a King Prawn Linguine which was really tasty and extremely plentiful in size. Prices in our opinion were really good compared to the Menu's we looked at in Bath City Centre too. Definitely worth a visit.

absolutely fantastic experience at this Italian restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and the ambiance was delightful. The food was exquisite, bursting with authentic flavors that transported us to Italy. Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. The service was impeccable, attentive but not intrusive. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of Italy right in the heart of the city. Can't wait to visit again

Came here about 4/5 years ago for fathers day so decided to give it another good. Initially booked for 6 of us but added an extra 4 the week before. Had to pay a deposit and pre-order prior to our meal. Parking was a nightmare due to it being a nice day and the car wash being busy. We had to park offsite and walk back to the restaurant. Seated straight away. My Dad had ordered a meal but wasn’t very well so I was able to change it to a kids portion. Despite pre-ordering waited around 50 mins for 6 of our meals to come out, the other 3/4 were even longer. I had the lasagne which was lovely but nothing came with it, no garlic bread, salad. Restaurant was half full and appeared to have plenty of staff but as already said it was a rather long wait. My latte was warm at best. Two of our seats were up against the window and in the sun. No blinds, fan or shade which made it quite unbearable. I would give it another go at some point but not as a large party. Would also keep an eye on what the meals were supposed to come with as my daughter mentioned she had garlic bread and salad with hers!

We chose to have breakfast here since I hadn't eaten before we left.

My first visit left a good impression. The food was delicious, and the fact that they serve an all-day breakfast was a pleasant surprise. They also offer a good selection of drinks. I'll definitely be returning.

The food is consistently high quality and delicious. The service is adequate—nothing exceptional, but no complaints either. The atmosphere shifts in the evening, which is a nice change, and there is convenient free parking nearby!

Quaint Italian restaurant with great food and atmosphere. Pasta and pizza tasted great, and the service was excellent.

The meatballs were very delicious, and the quick, efficient service impressed us. The style and quality of the dining experience were top-notch, even for a takeaway. If the takeaway is any indication, we can't wait to enjoy a sit-down meal here. It should be amazing.

The food was excellent, but the service was a bit slow. Additionally, odorless cleaning chemicals could be used when cleaning tables between customers.

The Foie Gras was phenomenal – rich, buttery, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend trying this dish.

Tiramisu was perfect. Creamy, rich, and a perfect balance of coffee and sweetness. A delightful end to our meal.

Garlic Bread was the best we’ve had – crispy, buttery, and full of garlic flavor. A fantastic appetizer to start with.

The restaurant is stunning with equally impressive food. The prices are very fair, and the service is great and quick. Easily a 10 out of 10.

This restaurant is fantastic, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking excellent Italian food and top-notch service.

With good food and pleasant service, this was a great choice for our first meal out post-lockdown. We will be returning soon.

The food was lovely, and we'll definitely be returning for another visit. Since we live nearby, we'll be using it for takeout more often, although the restaurant itself is charming inside.

It feels like an undiscovered gem. Situated on the side of a main road where you'd expect fast food, this place offers a fine dining experience instead. The food was well-cooked, promptly served, and flawless. The prices were reasonable, and the service was friendly. It's not a spot you should pass by without a second thought.

Really lovely food and a nice atmosphere. Plenty of parking. Although the service was quite slow especially as we had pre-ordered. Spaghetti seafood was delicious ! Good gluten free options

Wow! The decor is beautiful and the food is wonderful. I've dined at Michelin star restaurants and countless other places, and this establishment is definitely worth the prices you pay.

So I have been past so many times thinking s as about popping in and I’m so glad I did, the pizzas were exactly what we wanted, really nicely presented and soft drinks so can’t really comment on the full range but looks good, the man who served us was very kind allowing the dogs to sit with us and the price was very good so it’s a big thumbs up. I will be back!

The food was decent and the staff were very friendly. Not very authentic, and not sure about being drenched by a car wash on the way in. Also, the menu was full of spelling mistakes and grammar errors, which suggests carelessness. “Patè de la cassa”? “Italiano Ristorante”?, “Polpettie”?, “too many to count. Friti?? Arrabiatta? Bruschetta napolitano???? Linguini Sorrentina??

This is a fantastic family restaurant. The food is excellent, attitude of the staff is perfect and the price is fair, we go there pretty regularly, I would certainly recommend.

Absolutely amazing evening out with friends. Lovely restaurant with great friendly staff and food surpassed our expectations and we will be returning soon.

Beautiful service..amazing food. Definatly going back!!!!

Great atmosphere loads of space around the tables

Very good expérience and food. Very Nice wait staff and lovely place. +1 gluten free offers.

Fantastic food, great service fully recommend. Will definitely go again. Great atmosphere. What more can you ask for.

Went there last night for valentines. A very nice young lad served us but the kitchen forgot our order so waited a long time. Couples that arrived a least 15 mins after us were served they're food before us. The starters were very nice but the main came out literally as the plates were being cleared. My main was disappointing. I had the chicken with asparagus and mushroom sauce. It was very salty and no one came to check if everything was OK. I also ordered a diet coke and got full fat. The young lad was very apologetic about the wait and gave us the drinks for free. Also no acknowledgement when leaving.

Excellent food and service lovely place. Food was delicious and piping hot. Will definitely go again!
