Moltobuono!59 in Bristol, City of

Had a great lunch for my daughter’s 18th Birthday . Excellent restaurant , delicious food , very friendly staff and Tiramisu Birthday cake - so yummy 😋. Grazie mille !!!

Super friendly staff and amazing food! What else do you need?

Best pizza ever! Definitely gorgeous! 🤩 I went Bristol for bday celebration and I found this restaurant randomly. Absolutely loved. I recommend 🥰

Authentic Italian vibe, fantastic food and great service. Bellissimo!

We have tried to get in here before when visiting Bristol but it is always full, yesterday we tried to book, best time we could get was 9pm, but then they phoned me at 8pm and said someone had been quick and we could go earlier. Service was fast efficient and friendly. The food was very authentic Italian, not just a run of the mill pizza/pasta place. Superb burrata, so fresh and creamy, we shared that and foccacia between 3 of us as a starter. The pizza are excellent, really interesting range of red and white pizza on a delicious live sourdough. Will be back when we are next in Bristol visiting our son at Uni, but we know now...... book well in advance.

Excellent family run restaurant, amazing food and customer service. Always enjoy eating in Moltobuono

I went to Moltobuno most recently on Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend, and have previously been to this fine Italian restaurant throughout 2024. You can always count on the best in class service and top quality food to put a smile on your face, whatever the weather! I booked a table here in January for Valentine’s Day to ensure I had a nice restaurant booked for dinner that evening to celebrate the occasion with my girlfriend. It is a restaurant that we had previously been to and loved the atmosphere and vibe of, whilst also finding the service and decor absolutely beautiful. It feels authentic, but also quite glamorous, and balances both of these aesthetics very well. Upon entering, you are greeted by the service staff and, on occasion, the owner. This is, always, an absolute highlight. The service staff are first in class, and make the experience at Moltobuono so enjoyable. Always with a smile on their face, but also with good conversation and greeting to make sure that their customers feel welcome from the off. This was the case both times I dined here. On the first occasion, there was no need to book, and we could get a table on walk-in. This was during peak hours and so availability is often not an issue, though I do imagine it is not always the case that there are tables free, so do book in advance for special occasions to make sure of availability! Most recently, the restaurant was absolutely full, and this made for a fantastic atmosphere of plenty of happy couples and tables of families enjoying the food. Despite the business, this didn’t stop their service team from keeping everyone well served. We were seated upstairs under a beautiful lighting arrangement where a traditional rustic feel was mixed with a clean and very well kept nature. After recently travelling through Italy, it was nice to revisit the culture and food. I do feel somewhat able then, to know when Italian food is good quality. I ordered the Diavola, a staple in my time through Italy, whilst my girlfriend ordered the Cacio e Pepe. The Pizza was fantastic - cooked exactly as you would find a classic Neapolitan style Pizza in Italy, and the pasta was also wonderful (I helped finish, as always!). There can be little to complain about for a place like this. One slight mishap was we ordered some sides that were not immediately delivered - but this I believe was due to someone else being given direction to deliver the sides to the table, and then delivering them to the table next to us. Upon asking, this was quickly corrected. During such a busy service, such a small mistake is bound to happen, and that it was corrected is all that is necessary. To top it off, on leaving, our server gave me a rose which I was then able to give to my girlfriend. This kind of service is what sets Moltobuono apart from other restaurants in the area. It manages to mix an authentic feel with true class, yet feels approachable for many different types of people. The meal was not too expensive, costing around £50 for the both of us, but given the quality and the occasion this was more than reasonable. For any event, any time of year, any reason, I would recommend this restaurant. If you like Italian food, it is truly wonderful here. There is so much to like, and I cannot recommend the place enough. The prices are fair and for such good food in fact good value, the service is second to absolutely none, and the atmosphere is always a beneficiary of this. If you come to Bristol, come to Moltobuono!

All really "very good"! Plus the staff always creates festive and light-hearted things. Once again wonderful experience!

Unbelievably great food, great atmosphere - you're transported to warm Italy the moment you step in. Very reasonably priced as well!

Came for lunch yesterday, had a lovely time, great food and amazing service! The waitress was super friendly and attentive, really made our visit so pleasurable, will be back! :)

Great food friendly service is a solid choice for amazing Italian food

Food was out of this world, I'm not someone who has ever said that before online. Really good fun service, had me speaking Italian "Badly" & great atmosphere. If ever I'm back in Bristol I will 100% be here for a meal.

Very good Italian food and Vine recomanded by Camille. Lovely french girl !! Nice too meeting the boss very kindly, you rallye put a feet in Italia. Thanks all the team.

Great atmosphere, cozy place, staff and owner are very playful. It's like being at home. They have a great selection of pizzas and Italian style dishes, deserts are delicate and mouthwatering. Ask for a negroni drink, you won't be disappointed!

The service hear is so friendly. The manager made a fuss over my pregnant wife and was genuinely a joy to talk to. Food wise - I had the best pasta dish I've ever had here. A perfectly cooked caceo e Pepe with fresh handmade pasta. Can't recommend this place enough

A lovely Italian cuisine experience. I had the burrata starter, a calzone main course, and a tiramisu for dessert, and it was all absolute perfection (although I may have overdone it with the back to back cheese dishes)

Stumbled across this restaurant while out in Bristol. Lovely food, super welcoming staff and great atmosphere ! We will be back !

very nice italian restaurant in bristol loved the pizza

Fab Italian restaurant, authentic Italian food served with warmth and wonderful Italian hospitality. Great atmosphere and delicious food. Pizza and pasta mainly.

the food was high quality and authentic, tasted like those i had in italy. ingredients on the pizza were so fresh!! recommend!!

Just incredible each and every time! Food is astoundingly tasty and the service is personal and attentive. It’s a very busy restaurant as it’s so popular but it never feels chaotic. I hope and pray that one day they come out with a vegan tiramisu, which is sorely lacking in Bristol. I am a dairy eater but my partner is not, and I wish he was able to have a dessert as delicious as mine!

Owner is absolutely insane, food is great, we love it

Really authentic southern Italian food...simple and delicious

Excellent pizza 🍕 Great very warm and positive welcome from all the staff 👍

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Been coming here for around five years. The owner, his family and his extended family (the staff who aren’t related to them) are just really wonderful people, but that’s not the reason I’d advise you to come here. The food is just absolutely cracking! It is real Italian greatness. As our kids have grown up and wanted to go there on their own, the owner and staff have shown such gracious kindness and generosity that its totally made their evenings. I’m not related or on commission - just gushing our experience. If you love high quality, but not fussy, Italian food I don’t think you’re going to get better in Bristol. They import their own chilli’s for goodness sake (and they’re amazing). Hospitality wise, our experience has not been better anywhere else.

The food was so delicious I came here a few days ago and I am still thinking about it!! The service and everything was amazing thank you :)

We are Brazilian/Italian and this is the second time my family and I have come to Bristol and Moltobuono. If you are looking for an Italian restaurant that has the same level of well-made Italian cuisine, you should definitely visit this restaurant. The treatment is very attentive and friendly, as is typical of Italians. The food is very tasty and the atmosphere is pleasant and hospitable.

10th of January 2025, middle of winter, dark and -3 degrees, I was hesitant to walk outside, Friday evening we walk into the doors of Moltobuono! and I felt like I was transported to a small countryside town in Italy, with a family run restaurant, greeted with authentic “ciao bella’s” which instantly as a bald 29 year old picked up my spirits. Walked upstairs to what I would call a Italian version of mama Mia and the service of a michelin star restaurant we were greeted with the best gluten free pizza base and a large glass of wine that had the hips moving ready for a Friday night. If I was to describe the experience in one Italian saying it would be “riempimi la pancia, buonissimo.” I will be back.

Excellent atmosphere and food! And a very welcoming owner!

AHH! An amazing place to have food or just a nice cup of latte. Food is great! The staff is amazingly helpful and always ready to take your order! I did wait a second even though the place was stuffed! I will always come back to this place!

Food, staff price - everything is perfect! The only con is that the restaurant is too congested. I’m not complaining tho, helped me secure a booking!

Gorgeous authentic Italian spot in the centre of Bristol on Park street! The restaurant literally looks like a scene out of love actually and the food is amazing. We ordered both pizza and pasta and were so impressed!

Came here on a day out in Bristol on a recommendation from a local. Fantastic food and great service. If you’re after classic Italian food in a cosy atmosphere then this is a great spot. The cacio e pepe and pizzas were the highlight. The happy hour was an unexpected surprise and a lovely excuse for a few aperol spritz. Only criticism is that the toilets are a little outdated. Nevertheless would visit again.

Ah the best Italian food i’ve had in bristol. Its filling, its delicious, & so affordable! They have loads of vegetarian options which was honestly the highlight for us. Pizza had a soft crust but was not doughy. Pasta was el dente & with a magnificent parmesan and porcini mushroom sauce. Above all, the staff were incredibly friendly and polite. The place was busy so I would recommend booking in advance. We paid a total of 35£ for two mains.

Visiting here made our day! Food was tasty and traditional and service excellent. We were made very welcome by very caring passionate kind souls. We would love to return!

Definitely worth a visit. The sound level, however, is somewhat high - but the food is really good.

Excellent atmosphere and wonderful pizzas, definitely worth a visit but make sure you book. Highly recommended.

My favourite pizzeria outside Italy. Authentic Neapolitan pizza with fresh and crispy (but not too crispy) pizza base. Strongly recommend white base pizzas (especially Tartufona), although tomato sauce is also great. Takeaway pizza is also great experience, and there will not be a service fee. Tiramisu is not too sweet (the best word for an Asian when commenting on a dessert). Friendly and generous staffs deserve a highlight. They make me feel being in Italy.

Absolutely fantastic and produce was clearly high quality

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Simone is an perfect host

Great food and a wonderfully charismatic owner. All the food was superb

Stunning meal Favourite place in Bristol, will be back!

Vegetables on the pizza tasted weird

The ideal italian restaurant in Bristol. It is not only the high quality food - made with love - that will leave you speechless, but also a heart warming front of house staff will accompany you competently throughout your entire dining experience, with genuine smile and affability. The atmosphere is rendered perfect by the addition of nice classics of italian music. Whether you are looking to book a table for a party, have a romantic dinner with your partner, or simply dine alone, I know Moltobuono is indeed the perfect restaurant for you.

We always come back to Molto Buono. We had lunch today me my wife and our daughter. The pizza and the pasta were great, the staff very attentive as usual and Simone god bless you, you deserve a monument! Valerio

Amazing quality and choice of food including vegetarian/vegan and gluten free options. Everything we ate was delicious. Lovely atmosphere, and great service! Would definitely recommend.

Really easy to set up a booking and the staff are exceptionally kind and welcoming. The pizzas taste amazing and there is a lot of range in the menu. The restaurant itself is very cosy and makes for a great setting for lunch or dinner :)

What can I say had dinner with friends at molto buono .Service top very friendly.Food is so good the pizza is deliziosa . Rosaria

Service was friendly and quick. The pasta was absolutely amazing - very fresh and tasty! Would absolutely go again

Charming little place. Food is good, both the pizza and pasta. Bonus points for the Italian speaking staff, especially the guy who served us, was very friendly.

Best Italian restaurant between Apulia and Bristol. Going back there as many times as I can.

Tonight was my second time coming here and it was just as special as the first. I would highly recommend it to everyone if you want an authentic experience - my mum is Italian and eating here feels like I am home. No joke, no flights needed!!!!! Simone is a great host along with all the rest of the staff being super friendly and accommodating, the food is delicious with many ingredients imported from Italy and the restaurant has the best atmosphere. Grazie Mille alla prossima❤️❤️

Authentic, lots of vegan and gluten-free options

Super recommended!! Wonderful place, family atmosphere... the food was better than many restaurants in Italy... the staff were very nice, and the boss, "Uncle Simo", an exquisite person who was worth the dinner alone. Only 5 stars because 50 cannot be given. Go there!

A unique place to feel at home. Between excellent food and a friendly environment. Excellent quality food carefully prepared. The pizza is certainly the best you can find in the whole area.

Moltobuono gets all the stars for the delicious food and fantastic atmosphere, even on a wet Monday night. Everything we ate was absolute delicious. The Italian gentlemen that own the place are very charming. Sadly the service is let down by some of the young women that work there, one was very curt. We were 13 minutes late because I’m not local to Bristol. We definitely booked for 19:30, the booking had been made through their telephone messaging service. I asked for some plates so we could share our starters, the plates never arrived. I’m looking forward to retuning and enjoying the full dining experience, next time I’m in Bristol.

Great food, excellent service and a cracking atmosphere 👍

Great find, popular therfore best to book. Pasta lika mamma used to make and pizza as the chains could only dream of providing. Friendly family run restaurant, wish we had one near where we live!

Totally recommended, quality pasta and pizzas.

I'm Italian and I can guarantee that the pizza was delicious and the service was excellent :)

Nice, but did not live up to expectations! The restaurant seating is crammed in with no more than a couple of inches between tables so do not expect intimacy here. Think more high volume, fast turn over service. The food, well this was the most disappointing. The flavours were great, however the pizza base was soggy. The Ragu that my partner ordered was also quite creamy, nothing like what you'd receive in Italy. The Tiramisu... Now this saved the night and was delicious, if you end up here, order the Tiramisu!

A wonderful, atmospheric experience. Book early. I got lucky as the staff squeezed me in at the bar. I watched as they turned away many would-be diners due to the high demand for a table. And having enjoyed 3 courses here, I can understand exactly why. If you are looking for a microcosm of Italy with an impressive range and depth of flavour, served with warmth and character, look no further than Moltobuono!

Amazing… feels like you are in Italy, service amazing, food so fresh and tastes amazing, the pasta is so fresh. They are so warm and welcoming. They get so busy so you just book in advance. 10/10 for me and I am a fuzzy eater!

Food very tasty but just felt rushed, no time to just sit relax and chat with friends. Table of 6 and we were only given 1 hour 25 minutes and then asked to leave as soon as we had paid, it just felt like it's all about how many bums in seats you can get in one evening.

A classic in the city. Best Italian food.

Can't get enough of this one. It has become our fav spot to go for small celebrations. It's busy all the time so have to do proper reservation well before the date but it's worth the hassle. Authentic Italian taste and food quality. Lovely staff. One of few I tend to go back every now and then. Definitely recommend it.

Family run with love and great cooking

I spent a wonderful evening at Altrobuono! Exquisite food (both pizza and pasta), warm welcome. Advised!

Great restaurant. Delicious food and great service, very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere az well, nice buzz to the place. Will be back.

They have a really long vegan menu which was nice to see! We both got pasta dishes from that menu - one truffle and one mushroom. Both were decent but not exceptional and not something I would crave to have again. It was also pretty expensive for what it was at £50 for just one starter to share, two mains and two drinks.

Nice pleasant Italian. Very quick and efficient staff but not pushy. Pistachio ice cream was probably the best I've every had.

This is the real deal. If you like Italian food, this is the place you should go: pure products, lovely taste. I loved the pasta with bottarga, a specialty you don't see often on the menu. The pasta is home made. Nice atmosphere and lovely staff.

Not a Bristol local, but my lovely boyfriend found this place through its incredible reviews. I can definitely say that it lived up to the hype. The restaurant was buzzing at 9pm, service was quick and friendly, and the food was incredible. We had the homemade tiramisu to share which was also delicious! An amazing family run business - would defo recommend to anyone visiting Bristol.

Ordered two dishes of Pasta with different sauces. Couldn't decide which one was worse. The pasta was undercooked and overpriced. I wouldn't recommend.

Pretty rare that I rate UK Italian restaurants but this place is the real deal

The food is pretty average, not good for the price. £145 for a family of 4. Olives, foccacia, one starter, 2 beers, 2 glasses of wine, 2 cokes, 2 pizzas, 2 pasta dishes. Service seemed rushed and not attentive.

Dined here this evening with a birthday party.Wow!excellent food and such friendly efficient staff. Thank you all so much ,

I just adore this place. They have got absolutely everything right - stunning yet subtle decor, delicious and authentic food, knowledgeable staff and a wonderful owner who brings a spark to the evening. Perfection.

Loved our meal at Moltobuono! The food was great but the service was outstanding. Great atmosphere and can't wait to return.

I think this is the best Italian restaurant in Bristol. The employees in the store are all Italian, and they are very warm and friendly. Sometimes you just pass by the store, and they will say hello and chat for a while. I can’t count how many times I have come to Moltobuno to taste delicious food, especially the white pizza. In addition, the aroma of cheese makes the pizza delicious even when it is cold. All pizza crusts are bouncy and rich in texture. We have eaten Tartufona, which has truffle + Italian sausage, and the truffle is addictive (some people don’t like it, choose carefully); Torre del Greco is equipped with Napoli’s unique vegetables, which will give the cheese a slightly refreshing salty taste; Burrata pizza is Tartufona + burrata cheese, if you like both truffle and burrata, you must try it; La Gustosa is original salami and rocket, if you like rocket, you can try it. The red base pizza is also good, we tried Diavola and Zozza, both were delicious. Diavola uses spicy salami (ventricina), which is suitable for people who like spicy food; We only had one pasta, Pasta al Tartufo. It's flavored with truffle and chopped parsley, and has a very strong truffle flavor, which we particularly enjoyed. Finally, attach a photo of the menu.

Best Italian restaurant in Bristol hands down, Uncle Simone and the staff are very nice and kind, see you soon 😊😊

This place is awesome, Simone is a charming beautiful man. The pizza is delicious and the atmosphere is great.

A lovely restaurant with incredible food and very charismatic owners!

Expensive for what it is - food was nice but again, vs the cost was expensive.

Had dinner here during a busy Saturday night. Great place to have some extra cheeeeeeesy pasta. Waiters were very friendly. Will come back again!

Good traditional Italian restaurant. The waiters were very friendly and the food tested was very good (pasta and pizza). Don’t hesitate to book in advance, it’s very busy.

Very nice place to eat. Great atmosphere and good food.

EVERYTHING was perfect. The receivement, food, quality and service. I recommend this restaurant, the best italian in Bristol. If you come, you should eat La Grassa Pizza. It was spectacular and for sure, Maurizzio attended us very well. Amazing restaurant.

Avarage place, not comfortable...

Amazing place! The waiters and waitresses were very very kind and welcoming. The food was amazing, just like you’d expect when sitting in a small restaurant right in the heart of Italy. I stumbled in there and had to returned almost every day of my time in Bristol.

This is a lovely, authentic Italian restaurant. The food was delicious, and the waiters were so friendly and attentive. The interior was beautiful with all the fairy lights. It’s best to book a table, as it can get very busy. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Really good Italian food. Waiters were super nice. Service was prompt. Good experience

Absolutely delicious pizza and salad and very friendly, pleasant and fast service. Trust the reviews and go eat here!

Very nice place. Perfect meals.

Best pizza and atmosphere in town

Visited with a family of 5. We had amazing pizza and pasta, for dessert tiramisu which was really good. Loved it !

Pasta was perfectly cooked and the staff are so friendly, definitely recommend!

Came here the other day and it was lovely. Some 1 star review said the pasta was hard. Maybe they have only ever had terrible dry pasta from Tesco because it was lovely. Service was great, house wine was lovely. Will definitely come again

Excellent quality of food and service

The pizza at this restaurant is very salty, and the pasta is quite hard. I'm starting to doubt whether I've had authentic Italian cuisine.
