Marmo Restaurant And Wine Bar in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Cosy restaurant, Good atmosphere. Menu is done more like a tapas style tasting options so we tried pretty much most dishes on the menu. Well presented and really good fresh quality ingredients.

Stunning food. I'm so glad we booked a table with Marmo. Outstanding quality

A really enjoyable experience. Lovely food. Lovely space, it was cool and fresh. Great drinks and absolutely superb service and knowledge from the staff - that bit was second to none !

Absolutely fantastic. Simply delicious food in a lovely, unpretentious environment. Service was lovely and the music was subtle and atmospheric. Excellent value for the experience and quality.

Lovely food, simple, seasonal menu, very friendly staff. Accommodating to a single walk-in was appreciated.

Spectacular. Really nice, simple food, beautifully cooked and presented. Can't recommend highly enough.

Fantastic food, excellent wine list, great ambiance. No wonder this is on Michelin's radar. I look forward to the opportunity to return.

Marmo hosted 16 of us for a lunch before our wedding. The food service and atmosphere was perfect!

Excellent food, the dishes they propose on the menu are more for sharing, coming with several people allows you to try several things. It is very rich and the price is very affordable

Some other reviews have reservations I understand. What I think is underestimated is the superb value for money here. Bristol is lucky to have this place...

Below average food. Mediocre service Graveyard atmosphere Would never ever recommend.

Awesome little place, delicious ingredient focussed food simply done. Banging wine list. Well worth a visit.

Restaurant OK, but overrated. The supposedly elaborate cuisine is quite simple although quite good. Value for money, fairly average.

Overall a sub-par experience for a Bib Gourmand rated restaurant, we ordered 8 dishes and a bottle of wine for £200. The asparagus and bread were both really good. Everything else was either poorly executed or lacking inspiration. The cod sauce was over seasoned which was a shame as the fish was really well cooked. The lamb wasn’t rested long enough so still quite tough and accompanied with a fairly uneventful mashed potato. At £28 and £32 per dish I expected more. The desserts also failed to hit the mark with the pana cotta being too gelatinous and the chocolate mousse being light but not rich. Service was okay, small things like leaving the bottle of (white) wine on the table and not storing in a cooler, not offering to taste the wine (2014 / cork), and being in earshot of the waitresses complaining about the business of their shift are all things I wouldn’t expect at a premium priced restaurant.

I had great expectations from their menu when I saw how limited it is, as this implies quality (which it had) and perfection (which it lacked). With the exception of the lamb rump, which was cooked to perfection and super tasty, everything else we tried lacked of that little something that would elevate the dining experience. The anchovies were extremely salty, served in good, but not top olive oil. Equally salty was the cod's roe, could not even balance the saltiness with the unseasoned asparagus. The gnocco fritto is a disappointment, a flavourless piece of fried puff pastry with a couple pieces of salame, would have enjoyed the salame on its own more. The panelle felt very heavy and once again lacked of deep flavour. The dessert menu is also limited. The panna cotta is light and refreshing, a very good finish to an average dinner. The mousse on the other hand is ok but nothing special. The wine list is good and offers some decently priced options. The service is great and probably the only reason I thought of giving them another star to the overall review. However, when I consider the total value for money and the fact that I would not become a regular client, does not allow for more than 3 stars. Maybe a 3.5 would be more appropriate. Overall, I might go again on a random evening for a couple of glasses of wine, but I highly doubt I would order food again.

Been a few times but the most recent visit the food wasn’t as good as normal which was a little disappointing, but that does happen sometimes so will still definitely be back. Every time the starters have been absolutely delicious and would definitely recommend the chocolate mousse! Lovely venue and dog friendly!

Perfect in one word! My favorite restaurant in Bristol

Best restaurant we have been to in Bristol... oodles of charm, great service and the food was absolutely delicious. Fabulous wine menu too. Well worth a visit.

Creative tasty dishes, warm service in a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere. Better book a place in advance, and order a few dishes to share. Don't skip the wine and the desserts! You'll thank me.

Starting off, I loved the atmosphere and the decor. The service was tremendous - especially when we flagged our issues with the food - however the night was disappointing. We had the trout main, which was utterly flavourless outside of ‘fish’, and the pork main, which was clearly massively overcooked and devoid of any flavour too. I’m inclined to believe it was just an off night - and again, the service was fantastic - but we were both very excited for this night and it might be the most disappointing meal we’ve had as a couple.

Lovely decor but it was quite draughty by the door. The menu was very limited (which I usually prefer as it suggests a focus on quality over quantity of dishes) but seemed somewhat disjointed and confused. The food itself was underwhelming and a bit bland. The olive oil to dip bread in was delicious however. Service was okay. Overall disappointed with our experience, especially for the price.

Great value, absolutely delicious lunch.

A little gem of a restaurant , relatively simple dishes but done well and delicious , also very reasonably priced .

Not a huge menu but really tasty. It’s sometimes nice to not have a huge choice anyway. We didn’t struggle to find something. Service was brilliant, and cost v portion size was really reasonable, especially when mentioned in the Michelin guide. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent food, atmosphere, decor. Well deserving of the Michelin accolade. Ambiguous menu (not clearly delineated nibbles/starters/main) spurred some reluctance to order some things lest multiple mains appeared!

Marmo is a go-to spot for me, so I came in with high hopes. However, reality didn't quite match my expectations. While they boast an extensive wine list with some excellent bottles, the limited options for wine by the glass restrict exploration. While the menu offers familiar food options, there's a noticeable absence of creativity and attention to detail in the execution. The dishes felt rather pedestrian, lacking the nuanced flavors and thoughtful combinations I had hoped for. Overall, it was a a bit letdown considering the restaurant's usual reputation for culinary excellence.

I went with my cousin for our wedding anniversary, when went in every one was shirtless dancing on the tables, I did the worm and the manager was impressed so gave me a a ps5. It gave some stasifaction but got the light of death early so I was disappointed. Also the food was ok

Super delicious food and good vibe

Good, safe food. Everything we ate was cooked very well. Ordered giardiniera, burratta, whipped cod with winter tomato and trout, mussels and celariac puree finished with chocolate mousse. I understand Italian cooking lets the ingredients speak for themselves and everything was presented well and was well cooked. The mussels were soft and the trout was tender, however lacking seasoning. Seaweed butter was lacking oomph and giardiniera was very simple, just celery, onion, pepper and cauliflower. Was the last bib gourmand restaurant to check off the Bristol list and I prefer the likes of root, COR or BOX-E for the more forward thinking dishes and exiting flavours. Perfect and fast service with attentive hosts but won't be rushing back. Totally get why people love coming here though! Tasty wine and the orange vermouth apertivo was delicious.

Incredible food with a really carefully thought through menu, delicious wines and amazing service - will definitely be back next time I am in Bristol

A great spent time here, early evening, pre-dinner, working our way through their well formed and thoughtful drink and food menu. Loved the selection of apéritif’s especially, the Berto Fizz and Negroni Bianco in particular. All the food was tasty, the Gnocco Frito the standout for me.

All dishes were perfect. Great for sharing. They have a tiny kitchen - impressive they produce such perfect dishes.

What a lovely place for dinner! Everything was just perfect. We went to Marmo our first night visiting Bristol and it was just perfect! The interesting combination of flavours and well cooked food was just perfect! The wine we ordered was also really good! Fully recommended!

Food was lovely! Burrata and venison dishes were the best in my opinion. Only issue is the service for lunchtime was really slow. Suggest diners are asked if they're using a lunch break to eat and if they are mindful of this.

The best beef tartare I’ve ever eaten. Just exquisite food, pared back and elegant. Lovely down to earth waitresses too. Relaxed and elevated everyday Italian/European food. Tasty aperitivos and cocktails, and a fascinating selection of biodynamic wine. The gardiniera pickles were an experience in themselves. Ravioli again some of the best I’ve ever had, velvettt mushroom filling. Perfect for a date or a meal with friends. They happily catered for my nut allergy, and I felt well taken care of throughout.

I had been told this was good, it isn't, it is exceptionally good! Not cheap but each dish was just wondrous. Plus that very special extra, proper napkins.

Beautiful restaurant, the steak tartare was probably the best I've ever had.

Hadn’t been here before and wanted to grab a quick bite with a family friend before we went to an event in the centre! Delicious food. I really recommend that you share plates— do have the pasta! Great smiley service. It can get busy which can slow things down a tad. Make sure you book ahead!

Great place, the service and food were spot on! Definitely recommend going there when in Bristol.

Gabby was amazing!! Such a queen thanks for recommending such delicious wines

It's a pretty nice place with delicious food. The only thing I can say is that I didn't like that it's not cozy enough. I mean the place is good, but the wooden chairs are not very comfortable. You don't feel at home there, more like at a cafe or chain coffee shop where you have to eat quickly and leave. It would be wondeful if the furniture was comfortable and cozy. Despite this, the food is really good and service is lovely. Overall, it's five stars for sure, but I wanted to express my humble opinion about coziness.

Excellent food, great service, a thoroughly delightful experience. Must go more often!

Last night, I had hake, prepared with leeks, potatoes, and a touch of bottarga. The flavors were exquisite. One, only minor, complain is that the ventilation could use a bit of a boost, as my clothing smell of kitchen fumes after dinner. Nevertheless, it was a dining experience to remember!

Friendly service, nice atmosphere and great food with an excellent wine list. The menu was a little confusing, I expect most people need an explanation about which courses are which.

Always great to come here and try what’s on the menu, can be a little hit and miss. Have tried some of the best dishes here and some have been less impressive but still good. Always worth coming and seeing what they have.

Food is very good but way too expensive. 4.5£ for 4 slices of bread...

Was expecting good things, but left entirely underwhelmed. There seems to be a lot of excellent reviews but our experience was only average and was tempted to select poor based on value for money. Ingredients all seemed good quality and the menu sounded like the food would be exceptionally tasty, but we found the food bland which is a shame. Tables are crammed in and hard to hear conversation over tables next door. Wine list was extensive and expensive. We opted for a house white at £33, which from taste was no better than a £5 bottle from any supermarket. Felt we paid far too much money for the quality of taste of our food. Plenty of other restaurants in Bristol with much tastier food. Unfortunately, aside from 1 of our desserts being better than average it was a totally underwhelming experience. Staff and service were fine though.

Very impressed with Marmo. The service was fantastic. We were looked after by Gabby, who welcomed us warmly and talked us through the menu, recommending the gnocco and steak tartare. We ordered the bread and butter, gnocco, pollock and lasganette. Everything was delicious. So fresh and full of flavour. The bread was also amazing! Best bread we'd ever had. Such a great way to start the meal. The decor was also very classy. High ceilings and interesting art hang on the walls. We highly recommend Marmo to anyone visiting Bristol.

I cannot believe that there are 289 restaurants in Bristol better than Marmo. From a clear explanation of the menu by Martha to a strong dopplo everything here is of the highest quality. We absolutely loved it, pasta , fresh fish, figs all presented, cooked and more importantly enjoyed. Our photos show how the food looks but the other senses of smell and taste were more than entertained. The menu is short, I would describe as ‘tight’ but as the team here produces food of absolute highest standards, there’s no point trying to do more. I am tempted to try the lunch with work colleagues, more people need to experience the best cooking in Bristol, it simply is that good.

The tastes of the food are exceptional. Compliments to the chefs. They are genius!!! The Trout crudo and the Lasagnette are amazing!!! Our waitress is so attentive and friendly, she made us feel so comfortable and delightful. Thank you for a lovely dinner.

Obviously a nice restaurant, nice interior and staff but food was incredibly disappointing. £9 for a plate of 6 anchovies for a starter followed by the fried chicken main which was the saltiest thing known to mankind - essentially inedible - the entirety of the available water in Bristol wasn’t enough to quench my thirst following eating it. Restaurant kind enough to offer free desert and 50% off the chicken main but for a restaurant of marmos standing it was entirely a disappointing experience

What's with the tiny water glasses? Food was just okay but massively overpriced. Tasty enough but nothing standout. Great service though.

I had the Fried chicken, Vesuvio tomato and pecorino last night, so good, highly recommend. My friend had the sweetcorn ravioli and that was fantastic too.

Popped in without a booking at 12.30 today and went for the 2 course menu at £22. Excellent, tasty dishes for both of us-we felt satisfied and well fed as we left. Nice unobtrusive service and you can see your food being cooked and plated. Well worth a visit. We have been a couple of times before and always great tasty food well served. We’ll be back.

Nice experience, food wasn't quite as waow as we were hoping (especially for the money) but was still nice

One of the best dining experiences I've had in Bristol. A wonderful, independent venue. Excellent food at reasonable prices. A lovely atmosphere.

Always delicious and wonderful staff. Only comment is that some of the dishes were a tad over salted, and it's the kind of place that really drenches salads in the sauce or toppings.

The smoked eel starter was too good!

What an absolute gem! Amazing food, natural wines and just stellar people making sure you have amazing time.

I had gone with my family to Marmo for a Saturday night meal and found the overall experience enchanting. The staff are welcoming and give off an ambience of calm enjoyment in their work. The menu is small but full of interesting options; because I did not strongly fancy the main course I focussed on the starter plates which our group liberally shared. We had the bread (good but with outstanding butter), giardiniera (all very good, but especially the fennel), Gnoco Fritto which was a good portion and different, Mozzarella with Vesuvio tomato and fig (really great flavours), Tagliatelle Ragu (one of the best we had tasted for a long while), Trout with cucumber, horseradish and yoghurt (really subtle and impressive). We finished with one of each of the deserts where the chocolate mousse was especially impressive. An excellent restaurant to which I would happily return to.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. The food is exquisite, the interior is tasteful, the atmosphere is pleasant (comfortably fancy in an informal way) and the service is excellent. An impeccable experience. I would recommend Bristol to anyone, just to visit this restaurant.

Really good place! You cannot go to Bristol and not eat here. The beef tartare was perfectly executed, every detail of it, all ingredients cut in perfection and all at same size. Had the grilled fish as main, also very well cooked, so much juice still in it. A bit disapointed by the wine but 5 star for sure!

Amazing meal at Marmo!! They have a great selection of wine and the food was cooked perfectly. The place gives off a cool French vibe.

We dined as a group of 4 with my family. The food was excellent. The pasta with a broad bean pesto was bright and a perfect seasonal dish. The pork chop I opted for was lightened with the gooseberry purée which was like silk and perfect in the summer heat. We will be back

Loved having dinner at Marmo. We got the Gnocco Frito, Trout, Dry aged pork chop. All delicious. The bread was perfect too. Will definitely come back

Booked on the strength of a BBC top 10 restaurants in Bristol, this was one of the worst meals I have had in a long time. Pickled veg out of a jar to start, flavourless pesto pasta and a table layout that is deeply troubling and very odd. So disappointed. The only positive was the lovely waitress who looked after us who was impeccably polite and helpful. All I can assume is the the chef has changed since the BBC visited.

We had a wonderful night here with amazing food and drink (my husband said the best coffee he’s ever had!) I was particularly grateful for all of the staff for effortlessly catering for my wide range of dietary needs and making me feel relaxed and confident in what I was eating. Highly recommend!

This is such a great Bristol spot for good food. The food is Italian influenced and consistently good every time, as well as affordable, the wine selection is great and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. It's a great location too, right in the city centre. Highly recommended!

Absolutely incredible deal for weekday lunches. The ingredients are fresh, recipe are simple, but with a twist of secret sauce you can't pinpoint. The wines were also very good.

A very comfortable surroundings with a very close connection with the chefs The food is outstanding tantalising your tastebuds with the taste of Italy Amazing honest food that will hypnotise your taste buds for the eager return

We came here because we were told they do an excellent steak tartare here, unfortunately on this occasion it wasn't on the menu. Instead I had the rabbit ravioli, and my wife had the lentil pasta. The ravioli were fantastic! They serve wine by the half-litre carafe, which is nice. The reason I don't give five stars is that I think it's a bit overpriced.

Despite the rather grungy tables and benches, this is a proper restaurant with a short menu of unusually well cooked food (italian influence). Reasonable value, though some very expensive wines. Good service.

Most beautiful spot- original architecture complimented with style: Yves Klein blue and an open kitchen, an elegant collection of framed oenophile posters. The food was good- nothing stunning but decent. BUT THE MUSIC- what is the owner thinking of? There could have been the happy chat of the lunch time punters. Instead there was drum and base up loud on a playlist the waiters couldn’t control. The look would fit jazz or bossa nova- or just plain nothing. I was eager to pay and leave- what a pity!

A very nice setting and ambience but overall quite expensive. Food was a little under seasoned and ungenerous for the price, although the mousse was very good. Also not many affordable wine options.

As a Mediterranean I know about good products and good cuisine. I love Italian and there aren’t a lot of places where I can enjoy it 100%. I was always having a look in Marmo and I gave it a try. First of all, the place is so beautiful, cozy and elegant at the same time. A unique atmosphere like you are in a luxury trattoria in the 60s. The staff so kind and helpful. And to the main part, the food is AMAZING-great quality, great techniques, well presented and full of tastes. You can understand when something is very good or excellent-this one was excellent. A great place that if you love food, you can’t miss. Of course the prices are as supposed to be but is totally value for what you get. This restaurant is for food lovers and not for people that are happy with ready meals. I hope that Marmo will continue being so perfect! Bravo!

I had read no reviews of this place before going. In a sense I agree with them all good and bad. We had three differnt wines, two whites and a red. One white was outstanding and the other two were underachievers. Everyone's food was excellent. This was an expensive evening, but we all had a good time

Love this place. Great choice of wine and fantastic food. The Gnocco Fritto with salame was the best thing to nibble on at the start of the meal. Fried chicken with Saffron aioli was great but the highlights were the main courses - Tagliatelle with wild asparagus, pancetta and egg yolk and then the cod with white asparagus and Porcini butter, I wish we'd have saved some bread for all the delicious sauce.

Marmo is an excellent Italian restaurant, well worth a visit. We had delicious fresh asparagus, cod and pork all served imaginatively with lovely accompaniments. The food was all outrageously good and we’re just sad we couldn’t order everything on the menu. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Very cool place for a glass of wine with a snack or a casual dinner. The food is good (however the pasta I ordered was way too salty...). Staff is very kind, friendly and welcoming, ready to make recommendations.

This beautiful restaurant is located in Bristol city centre. Inside, it's light and airy, with high ceilings, funky wall art, and appropriate spacing between tables. The menu is small, but all the things we tried were delicious. All the dishes were excellently presented, and were light but satisfying. Even after 3 course, you don't leave this restaurant feeling uncomfortably full, just satisfied. Desserts are probably the weakest part of the menu, so best to head somewhere else for that if you've got a very sweet tooth. The wine selection is also good, with a nice mix of varieties and prices. The staff are friendly, and service is prompt. This is a great place for lunch/dinner with friends.

Light and laid back but chic wine bar with light and laid back but chic food. Food was considered and well cooked and presented. We spent around £120 for snack, starter, two mains and a pud including a bottle of rather good wine, and I can see this being a great place for a nice lunch too.

Quiet and relaxed, reassuringly short menu, everything was delicious. Boquerones starter was good, as was fish main. Nice to see the kitchen in action, calming space and the speckled ceramics downstairs looked lovely.

We had a really lovely lunch at Marmo a few weeks back. The quality of the cooking was great, and the price very reasonable, As my partner has a tricky dietary requirement, our waitress took so much effort to make sure his meal was suitable for him. We've been out for quite a few meals in Bristol the last month or so and so far this is the only restaurant we'd like to return to.

Fantastic food, the lunch menu is really good value

My girlfriend and I visited Marmos last night for the 5th time for our 1 year anniversary/late valentine's day. The food was lovely as always and is our favourite spot in Bristol by far. The attention to detail to food is always there. My girlfriend had an issue with her food as her pasta dish was extremely bitter but this was quickly resolved and she received a new dish without any hassle. Excellent service and will definitely be returning!

Went here tonight and had an amazing experience! Service - Waitress was fantastic. She had excellent knowledge of all food and wine and very attentive and friendly. Food - Delicious! Had good veggie options and they paid fantastic attention to the nut allergy of one of our guests, even created a new veggie dish without nuts in! Atmosphere - Lovely decor and atmosphere. We were dressed fancy after a graduation and didn’t feel out of place

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fantastic morning and a Most Enjoyable Lunch Pigs Head absolutely delicious , fabulous starters which make this menu a great treat experience and very different from the every day

Un locale di Bristol che serve dell'ottima birra di Biella (IT)!

Delightful wine bar in the old Bar Buvette (😢) space. We ordered four starters with a bottle of Barbera and it filled us up. Here in our order of preference: trout tartare with cubed pickled rhubarb and (probably) agretti (the short menu is short on detail); panelle buried under a heap of fennel salad; gnocchi fritti with PIG 🐷; more pig with shaved lemon and unannounced pickled veg on toast. The last one was a bit too rich and unbalanced, and other people’s pesto pastas looked a bit on the wet side. But there’s clear quality and reasonable prices and portions here!

Great restaurant with excellent service! Everything I tried was amazing! Kudos to chef!

Have been to Marmo before and had good experience, the food is excellent. However on this occasion on a Friday night, 19:45 table, upmarket and not cheap restaurant one couple were seated with a large dog. I’m particularly dog-anxious - many people are obviously dog lovers and don’t understand this. The couple were seated two tables away from us separated by another couple. The dog immediately went under the other couples table (under their legs) and the owner had to get it out. They clearly were not comfortable about this - I would have left immediately, if it had been me. I raided with the waitress and asked if dogs are welcome as I am anxious. She offered to move us to a further table but did it advises dog friendly on the website. I’ve been through the small website and the Resy site and it mentions dogs nowhere, so not great to be lied to. We would not have booked if we knew we may have to share space on a relaxing Friday night with a dog. Thought out the evening it barks several times. It’s very loud and the owner takes it out several times. I am very happy with service animals but upmarket restaurants are not appropriate environments for dogs and this matter should be made crystal clear on the website and booking form.

Fabulous find here in the centre of Bristol. Very friendly service and you are in the same room as the kitchen and cooks. Italian based cuisine that was absolutely delightful. Yum yum

Ordered steak tartare, olives, two skates, two glasses of wine, a chocolate mousse and quince crumble with milk ice cream with a total cost at around £115. Great value for what you get. The skate was so juicy and tender without its distinctive ammonia taste. The portion was very generous as well. They also update their menu now and then. Will return in the future.

It was the best food experience in my life! Just the best!

Excellent. In a group of 5 so lucky to be able to just order the whole menu to share everything - and everything was cooked immaculately. Delicious, interesting food with some classic flavour combinations based on good ingredients and some more experimental options which worked well. Natural wine list with staff helpful on recommending based on preferences in non-natural wine world!

I liked the vibe and style but a few things were not quite right. Firstly had the air con blasting in October and it was cold - bizarre. We had a bottle of reisling - not sure about their selection here - it tasted bizarre. Nothing like trad reisling - more like a very sour cidre. And my desert was frankly odd (salty and just not very nice). Other courses were good and cocktails nice but overall a bit disappointing

Excellent meal here. Really lovely, fresh, innovative meals, high quality. Would definitely come back again.

We dined here with friends as it had been recommended on the website as a stylish place to visit in Bristol. The staff were very pleasant and efficient, but the choice of menu was not great. It could have been more extensive. There were roughly...

I'm struggling to understand what is special about this restaurant, I personally found it uncomfortably cold, loud and with poor seating. The food was expensive, especially when you have to for pay for sides to make a decent meal. The wine was not cheap and...

We had the most wonderful evening here. The place is so beautiful, intimate and elegant, with lovely art all around. The food and the wine were divine! Food beautifully presented and really delicious! The westcombe ricotta + blackberry is really a must!
