Moltobuono!59 in Bristol, City of

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.

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.

A classic in the city. Best Italian food.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 died wait a second even though the place was stuffed! I will always come back to this place!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Excellent quality of food and service

Very good, the pasta with black olive pâté, spectacular. Very nice place and the people who work there

The pizza was good and authentic for Italian pizza lovers. I have to say the waiters were lovely as well. However, I was gutted to pay a 10.5% tax on my food when I realised that the door of the toilet doesn't close properly (it feels like a cupboard) and that there was no bin in the toilet... That's a necessity for women!!

Everything about the restaurant was 5*. The atmosphere of the restaurant was beautiful, it was busy (not unexpected for somewhere so wonderful) and beautifully decorated with hops and fairy lights to create ambiance. Issi was our waitress and she was very friendly and catered to our needs. Service was extremely quick with us only spending an hour and a half there due to how quick they brought out the food, received our order and gave us our bill. The starter was absolutely delicious. We ordered burrata, the cheese light and paired nicely with the sharpness of the olive oil. The rocket was so fresh that it added a light peppering that meant that you didn’t need to even look at the salt and pepper. The pizza we ordered was the best pizza I have ever had (quite a big statement considering I’m a foodie). The pizza was amazing but the cheese was the cherry on the cake being … in fact I can’t even put it into words, you’ll just have to visit yourself. All in all an amazing dinner which really made my graduation dinner!

Came from Southampton for my daughters birthday. Not our fist visit. Never disappoints. Very friendly. Lovely food for all the family including vegan and gluten free. Thank you.

Best meal of our 10-day UK trip - highly recommended! The menu is quite simple so we were a bit skeptical in the beginning. I ordered spagetti pomodoro, my husband had pasta pesto and the little one had pizza. All very satisfied. The homemade pasta was perfectly cooked and the pomodoro was well flavored. It was very cozy inside with warm welcome from the staff. Everyone was treated as someone special.

Full of locals and especially local Italians, we were looking for an opening for days. The patron reshuffled the upper floor and made place for me, Mille Mille Grazie. The menu is simply too rich to choose from, it makes you want to come back many times. The home made food has so much love in it. Seven stars indeed.

An amazing authentic Italian restaurant! The food was delicious and not too expensive whilst the interior decor made it feel like you were actually abroad. Really enjoyed my time here and the waiters were attentive. Would definitely recommend!

It is very worth it, especially compared to everything you can find in Bristol. Very delicious homemade food, very pleasant atmosphere (a little tight) and very attentive and friendly service. Fabulous pasta and pizza, spectacular tiramisu. Highly recommended

Fantastic food and atmosphere - a real taste of Italy

This place is incredible. Starting with the warm helpfulness of the staff, the busy but not crowded floor, the good musical selection in the background. It's an Italian place that isn't trying to be Italian, it simply is. This place already won my heart. But the pizza. Oh, the pizza. What an incredible experience. The gluten free pizza was raised to perfection, soft and still crunchy, and incredibly light. I decided to try the most unusual pizza in the menu: burrata, bottarga, and anchovies. I hoped for good, but I found exceptional, and rather brilliant. The burrata toned down the saltiness to create the perfect combination. A bold move by the chef to put this in the menu, going outside the usual loved ingredients, but a move that will pay. Go for the unusual, trust the chef. You'll be rewarded by the best pizza of your lives.

Probably the best vegan pizza I’ve had! Lots of vegan options and was incredible. The staff were so amazing and very accommodating for us and our dog. We felt very welcome and the atmosphere and service was great from everyone there. Pricing was good, portions were big - highly recommend!

Really friendly and accommodating, despite being full to capacity a table was found. Delicious pasta, pizza and wine. I'm ready to visit again!

Simply the best pizza I've ever had! Kids loved the pasta. Very friendly service.

If google review can add another category for extra ordinary with 7-STARS rating, I would have used it... FOOD: All my life, I thought i had italian food but after this restaurant food .. honestly, I have never ever in my life had proper italian food like this. The taste is like drop from heaven, the super perfect ingredients of the dish made it out of this world .. SERVICE: I didnt feel I was in a restaurant, we felt as if we were having dinner with our friends in their home... what a kind staff they have l. ATMOSPHERE: Felt like friends home. If you arebin BRISTOL...this is a must go place .. highly recommended

You can’t fault the service here. Everyone is extremely welcoming and friendly. The pizza is incredible, and the decor is amazing. Lovely stuff. Only downside is not having an online booking system!

This was the second time we have visited for dinner. Lovely restaurant with friendly Italian atmosphere. Cute devour and cosy feel. Pizza of very good quality and delicious taste. A member of our party was vegan and very impressed with the choice of pizza and pasta available. It is recommended to book via the phone, but we were able to get a table of 4 at 7pm only 2 days prior.

Wow this was great. Such good food and a lovely atmosphere, welcome and timings - it is good to make a booking unless you get a takeaway. They also did gluten free pizza and their bases are incredible for gluten free. Would highly recommend. We had margarita and an aubergine pizza (one with gf base). It was also our celebration for our anniversary and the inside is gorgeous, as well as all the staff being lovely, it made our evening!

Lovely friendly and helpful staff, and delicious food!

Lovely food and great service highly recommend would visit again. Great hospitality

Very authentic Italian restaurant. Good food, nice staff, good price!

Delicious food, excellent service, lovely atmosphere and all for a great price

amazing food, service and atmosphere. would highly recommend!

The restaurant booking was quick and easy. The restaurant ambiance is great! Reminds you of an authentic little place in Italy. Food was exquisite and full of flavour!! Five stars from us! Worth the visit to Bristol!

Very authentic Italian restaurant with lovely staff, great food at good prices. Late opening hours is also a plus!

How every experience there, impeccable.

A very busy Thursday night with a large party of diners. The staff were organised, excellent. The pasta is all home made and delicious, same for the perfect pizza!. Very good drinks list. Nothing was too much trouble. You may want to sk to eat downstairs if you have mobility issues.

Really great food and service was amazing! Also not too expensive.

Perfect and authentic. Really nice staff as well!

Probably the best Italian I and the family have been to. My only negative is that I can't get through on the phone to book again as I live 50-60 miles away

Pasta was incredible good food but the restaurant itself was a little tatty. Service was good but a couple of the staff were grumpy and a little off putting. Despite this we would definitely go back for the food.

Busy restaurant….food was ok but nothing special.

The perfect authentic Italian with the best service and great food

Been here only once but will definitely come back. If you want an authentic Italian pizza, this is the place for you! Beautiful atmosphere, very friendly Italian staff and the pizza was absolutely delicious. Definitely molto buono!

Had one of the best pizza ever since I'm living in UK,this place is absolutely fantastic,and the front of house were absolutely brilliant with us,great service and friendly! Ayo' see you the next time!

Lovely atmosphere, food and service! It was very kind of them to take us in so close to 10pm and still serve us fantastic meals. I did not feel rushed once. Thank you!

Do not visit here because I want a table

Probably my favourite Italian in Bristol. The food is absolutely amazing, and the staff are so friendly and welcoming!

Waitress Cordelia was excellent and all the staff were lovely and friendly !

🇮🇹 Viva Italia! Viva pizza! 🍕 A restaurant that lives up to its name- the food here is excellent, and the hospitality of the wonderful and always-smiling host completes the experience. If you would like an authentic pizza, I don't think you could do any better than here! Pictured are the rossa hot damiano, and pizza burrata with some added mushrooms. PS If you partake, the wines pair very well too! 🍷 (Recommendations - Nero d'Avola for red, Frascati for white)

Best pizza in Bristol, if you want to feel like you’re in italy , should definitely visit molto buono, very good atmosphere, food is magic, and the whole staff is very funny and will look after you , in another words this place is something else :)

Pizza is delicious and the ambience is awesome. It's a place that you must definitely visit. Great service and Italian atmosphere

Fantastic food staff and owner. This place is the evidence if the old adage, a place is as good as the boss behind the counter and he's the man!

Service was great, very friendly and approachable, literally the best pizza I've had in my life !

Absolutely outstanding, food was exceptional, service was beyond excellent! We were made so welcome, and were thoroughly looked after!

The best calzone I've ever tasted. The staff are brilliant

Just an overall good experience! The pizza is obviously great, but the staff are so engaging and welcoming (also funny)! I’d definitely recommend getting the Italian hot chocolate too :)

Great atmosphere and amazing service, going all the way to make you feel like you're in Italy with Italian waiters and service staff, great interior decorating and atmosphere, sophisticated food and straight to the point without posh fluff

Who knew we had to come to Bristol to have one of the best Italian meals of our lives. I had the vegan pizza Impestata and my partner had the Burrata pizza and ragu pasta, which were all exceptional. The staff are also so lovely and welcoming. Would give this place 6 stars if we could.

Had a delightful dining experience at this Italian gem! The ambiance is authentically Italian, thanks to the friendly staff and the exceptionally welcoming owner. We enjoyed a classic Pizza Margherita and a delicious Cacio e Pepe. The Tiramisu for dessert was a perfect finale. It's recommended to book in advance due to its popularity. Highly recommend for a genuine Italian feast!

Amazing food excellent service and value
