Piccolino in Bristol, City of

We had lunch here today and it was faultless! The food was brilliant. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable and very friendly. A special thanks to Ramona for making our afternoon so enojoyable. We will be back again soon!

Our waiter was very attentive and very social,food was fantastic and drink were amazing!

As part of a large party l was prepared for a longer than usual wait, however, the service was great. Having personal menus was an inspiration.

Excellent service from Razvan, food was delicious and service was top notch

Super rude staff! Even though the place was empty.

This isn't the first time my friend and I have come to Piccolino for dinner, and it certainly won’t be the last; we absolutely love this place! The service is consistently amazing and highly professional. I especially want to thank Razvan, who looked after us exceptionally well. He was very attentive and made excellent recommendations for both food and drinks. The food is absolutely delicious, with a great variety of high-quality dishes. Their wine and cocktail selection is impressive, too. I would definitely recommend Piccolino to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. Looking forward to our next visit!

Had a great time here with a friend for a spontaneous catch up meal! Ramona was lovely and funny and a wonderful hostess! Would recommend after a long day shopping!

We had the great pleasure of visiting the Piccolino restaurant in Bristol and it was a fantastic experience! The food was delicious - fresh ingredients and beautifully presented dishes. Special thanks go to our waiter Razvan who provided us with excellent service. He was polite, professional and extremely helpful - he took care of every detail, making us feel very special. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an elegant atmosphere, great cuisine and top-notch service!

Great food. The service from Razvan was absolutely incredible. Would come again.

Gran pizza de margarita y se puede pedir coberturas a medida dentro de lo razonable. Buena variedad de platos, aunque limitadas opciones vegetarianas de ahí la necesidad de hacer una pizza a medida. Buen servicio. Bebidas un poco caras. Muy bueno para la gente que mira, especialmente adivinar quién está en una cita!

Visitó para un almuerzo rápido antes de un espectáculo en el paladio. Encantador servicio y un gin tonic mientras decidimos. Delicioso pan y aceite, luego los ravioles de cangrejo. Lamentablemente, aunque estaba muy bien presentado, el relleno era bastante frío. Mencionamos al personal, y los platos fueron batidos y frescos, reemplazos calientes fueron proporcionados más dos vasos de prosecco de cortesía para disculparse que no eran necesarios, pero muy apreciados. La comida estaba deliciosa y lamentamos no haber tenido tiempo para el postre. Recomendado.

Excellent service from Ramona. Very well done. Highly recommended

Very pleasant place and good atmosphere, thanks to Ramona/Goncale & Amir, a very attentive crew. The food was very good..

La mejor experiencia en piccolo’s bristol, tuvimos una comida increíble, bebidas increíbles! Era uno de los cumpleaños de nuestra fiesta y ella fue tratada como una reina! Ramona es el mejor anfitrión gracias por todo lo que volveremos!!

Amir fue el mejor camarero que he tenido en la memoria, gran experiencia en todos los años, la comida es genial, el servicio es mejor volveré en cualquier momento que esté en Bristol

Said that i would call them bacl they said ok. And after calling them back they dont pick up the phone

We are visiting from Chicago and decided on Piccolino for dinner as we were walking in the area. The location is great. Central to everything. Food was excellent. Drinks were fantastic and our server made the whole experience 5 star. Razvan was our server and he was funny and engaging throughout our meal. We enjoyed our food and would definitely come back again!

We went to this restaurant on Saturday as it was my Son's Birthday and there were 9 of us - I can honestly say it was the worse meal I have ever had in a very long time ! We sent our meal back and it came straight back out again undercooked Risotto ...and my husbands chicken was dry and overcooked - It was honestly awful and although they did not charge us for the Risotto I just felt that the overall meal for all of our guests was just awful! I won't be returning what a total waste of money!!!!

We’re huge fans of the Bristol Piccolino restaurant. Whether we’re grabbing a quick espresso, a cocktail, or a full meal, the food and service are always top-notch. Ramona is the heart and soul of the place, and everyone here makes sure their guests feel like they’re special. And one more big hura on the proper Italian food!

5th March evening meal was WONDERFUL. Server's, management & bar man were a credit to restaurant. Service outstanding, food gorgeous, ambience perfect. We will return. Thank you Amarv, Ramqma & Razvam. Apologies if spelt names wrong

Although I am greatful that you were able to accommodate such a large party,you require to remove the following issues that I experienced. When booking state at the start of the booking process their will be a set menu, also do not try to withhold the children's menu in order to somehow force an order from the set adults menu, it took a number of emails to receive the bambino menu. this should have been sent the same time as the set adult menu. Food was fine , the decor was fine. On the night the only issue was the service, granted people weren't seating in an orderly fashion but this shouldn't have mattered. the only person with a degree of professionalism in this regard was the only female host( I didn't note her name) whom was the saving grace. 3star's only because it was a large party to cater for, take in these criticisms and you will have better reviews.

Visited with my mother in law, we were greeted with the friendliest of staff. Our waiter certainly added to the great experience. The food was absolutely lovely. If you are looking for a warm and welcoming dining experience, this place is a must!. Thank you to the staff for making our first time in Bristol memorable

Noisy restaurant with good italian food.

The food was ok. The servers were lovely. The atmosphere was ok. Solid 3.5/5.

Delicious food and lovely area, lots of seating and much larger than it appears from the outside. Food was really good and large portion sizes, well worth the price. Unfortunately the service was a bit disappointing, ordered starters that never arrived and had to ask again for the wine we ordered. All these forgotten items had been added to our bill at the end of the night.

We had an absolutely amazing Valentine’s Day meal here - the atmosphere is wonderful, the service is impeccable and the food was the best Italian I’ve ever had! Perfect venue for a special occasion!

Everything was excellent. Serving, provided by Ramona, food, ambiance. Lovely place!

Had a spontaneous meal with a friend after work, amazing service from Gus. He made our entire meal and evening :) 10/10 service

Great food, fabulous atmosphere & friendly staff. Food is always excellent & it is perfect for any occasion as it is always special. Special mention of Ramona.... perfect host!

The friend whom I had dinner at Piccolino's Bristol restaurant said, approvingly, "There's always something you'll enjoy on the menu at an Italian restaurant." He was right but that's not why I've kept going back to this restaurant year after year, ever since it first opened. It's because everything I've ever chosen from the menu has been really good. That said, I keep going back to the tagliata and linguine ai gamberoni! The wine list is excellent, as is the very professional and friendly service provided by Ramona and the team. The restaurant has given us memorable meals, from romantic dinners for two to working lunches to birthday parties (one, for my dad, for more than two dozen people). Our experience of 'Piccos,' as we call it, is so good that if we're travelling to another British city where we don't know the restaurants, we'll pick the local Piccolino, if there is one.

Excellent food and ambience. Ramona was great, very attentive and perfectly timed in her service. Will definitely come back

Perfect food and fantastic service! Ramona was a great waitress and very polite! Highly recommend!

Ramona was excellent, thank you.

The food was very tasty and the service from Ramona was amazing, very attentive and happy to help. Will definitely come again

A must for you to visit .. hidden secret of Bristol.. manager was v attentive … and the restaurant was spotless .. food was delicious .. definitely a go to

The food was delightful and the service was quick and cheerful, We were served by ramona and she was lovely. Would highly reccomend!

I was looking forward to my NYE meal with family which it was really nice. But we had a bit of a wait for our booked table and when being sat a waiter hit me on the head with a metal pizza tray they didn’t seem very interested that this happened even when we asked for a move to a bigger table as our one was small in front of the food area. We also had a long wait for food and drinks even when some had been forgotten to be ordered. It would have been nice to of been offered a drink after being hit on the head but like I said they didn’t care.

Ramona is the best! Always helps in quick situations as we only have an hours lunch break from the office but she always pulls through!

Lovely food, and staff were excellent. Even brought out a we cake for my wife's birthday

I visited Piccolino Bristol at the last night of 2024 and had an amazing experience! The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. A special mention goes to Ramona, who was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our visit. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and made us feel so comfortable. Her professionalism and friendly demeanor added a personal touch to our evening. Thank you, Ramona, for making our visit so enjoyable! I highly recommend Piccolino Bristol for a fantastic dining experience.

Wonderful food and excellent service from Ramona - thank you and for making fuss of my Wife for her birthday , everything was top notch x

Piccolino Bristol never disappoints! Always have a lovely experience here whether it be lunch, dinner or just a drink! Ramona is absolutely brilliant and always makes sure everything runs smoothtly and gives you that extra special feeling when you’re dining! Thank you all, happy new year! Jess x

Thanks to Ramona and Gonzalo we were able to have a good family dinner. We are in Bristol for a couple of nights, so we will come back tonight.

The food and most of all the service of Ramona and Gonzalo was excellent. Both very helpfull, gentles. Thabk you very much for everything. See you soon.

We came in as a walk in and they were able to squeeze us in on a busy night, their service was absolutely amazing the food was exceptional and I would definitely recommend coming here.

Visited for dinner with my daughter and we had a wonderful time. Service was perfect (thank you, Cristian!) and food stunning. Would definitely recommend the tiramisu.

Delicious food and amazing service. Thank you Cristian for looking after us. Will definitely be back. :)

This was the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had, and I won’t be returning. It was a friend’s birthday dinner, and since I can’t eat meat because it’s not halal, I asked the waiter, Alina, for a suggestion. She gave me a rude, judgmental look, which really surprised me. I was also seated in a cramped spot where my bag was on the side of my chair, and she kept bumping into it. I’m extremely disappointed. Alina, if you see this, just be kind. There’s no need for negativity; you could’ve simply said you weren’t sure and found someone else to help. The food was disappointing, too. The pasta wasn’t cooked properly, and honestly, I felt like I wasted my money. Definitely not ever coming back and I hope Alina doesn’t ever treat someone like that again.

Cristian was amazing , service was perfect , food amazing and vibe outstanding .. thank you

We had an amazing Christmas party at piccolino Bristol . Friendly staff especially Alina and Cristian such a lovely guys . Drinks were well presented and tasty. Food was excellent ,full of rich flavours and good quality price . One of our best nights, definitively recommended thank you guys again see you soon ;)

I had a really disappointing experience at Piccolino Bristol. My main course, the sea bass, was far too salty and oily, and the dessert—just a scoop of ice cream—tasted bitter and unpleasant. It was completely inedible, and I ended up paying £60 for a meal I couldn’t even enjoy. I honestly wouldn’t recommend Piccolino to anyone. The food was poor, the service was bad, and the hidden charges just added insult to injury. An awful dining experience all round.

I had a really disappointing experience at Piccolino in Bristol. We booked for a group of 18 people and were told 2 courses would cost £35, which seemed fair. But when the bill came, everyone who had 2 courses was charged £44.95 – almost the price for 3 courses, which was closer to £50! This added up to an overcharge of £140 for our group. When we raised this with Nathan, he claimed it was a mistake in communication but still refused to adjust the bill after payment. It felt like a hidden fee, and honestly, we wouldn’t have chosen to eat there if we’d known the real cost beforehand. To make things worse, the food wasn’t great, and the service was really poor. For prices like this, you’d expect much higher standards. This isn’t just about the money – it’s about being treated fairly and having clear communication. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone and definitely won’t be going back.

We recently went for a work Christmas meal where we were informed before hand that two courses would cost £35. However, at the end of the meal, we were charged £45 for the same two courses. This was frustrating, as we wouldn’t have chosen this venue had we known the true cost upfront.

We went here for a Christmas Do and while the food was okay it didn't really justify it's price tag. I'm especially annoyed as I was misled over the price of the set menu and they had no interest in trying to rectify it despite it being their mistake and actually a breach of consumer standards. I would not go again and have heard similar feedback about organised events here.

Cook was smoking vape in the kitchen, the staff were unprofessional (laughing and talking loud with each other) & the bill came with a £7 "optional service fee". Why am I forced to tip when I did not like the experience?

Very pleasant experience. Good food and friendly staff. Will go back.

The aesthetic of the restaurant did not match the blaring music constant clatter of utensils. We booked with confirmation and was told they couldn't serve us due to a double booking and took convincing for a table and this was with an hour time limit. The actual food was decent for the pastas, the pizza ordered was bizzarly burned on the bottom and soft on top which ended up as a sloppy burned mess to eat. The starters were too small portion wise for the price.

Delicious food and excellent service. Gonçalo was attentive and took great care of us. A fantastic restaurant, highly recommend! ¡Muchas gracias from your Spanish family!

Very poor meal and over priced for generic 'Italian' food. Poor value for portion size of spaghetti carbonara and the guanciale was all fat. My daughter had the children's garlic dough balls which had barely any garlic butter. The calamari was over-cooked and the risotto was bland. For a good Italian meal I would strongly suggest going elsewhere and certainly the worst meal overall I have had in a long time. First and last visit to any Piccolino locations.

I didn’t book in advance, they greeted me and welcomed me in regardless. I chose the scallops as my appetizer, it was very good however some were overcooked, I would like to see my scallops cooked with good crust and perfectly cooked in the middle. As for my main I chose the duck, it was perfect, delicious seasoning and a perfect crispy skin, with the meat being moist and tender. For my drink, I tried the spicy mango recommended by the server, and it was a 10/10 drink.

No gluten free bread or pizza Table was for 1.5 hrs and waited over 20 minutes for coffee

don’t come here if you are gluten free! the options sound good but are some of the worst gluten free pizza i have ever had. frozen store bought pizza is better. Any celiacs please avoid, service sub par aswell. prices don’t match quality of food. if you are looking for good gluten free restaurants near by i reccomend the Ritorno Lounge on the harbour!

Great service and couldn’t do enough for us. Alina our waitress for the afternoon was fantastic in helping us through the menu

Ramona and her team went above and beyond for my friend and I when we came for dinner. We let them know we were in a rush and had a train to catch and they made our visit extremely smooth and fast… without a drop in quality! The food was amazing and the drinks were superb. We will definitely visit again!❤️❤️

We popped in here early on a Friday evening without a booking. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We had a truffle pasta dish and a pizza - it was very tasty. This was my first time at this restaurant and I would recommend.

Very bad food quality, 100% reheated in a microwave. Service was okay, attentive but also quite intrusive. There are so many better Italians in Bristol.

good food but deceptive pricing on some shared dishes

What a wonderful start to our anniversary. Such a warm welcome from Gus (who showed us how to get in😂) and we chose to sit on the high tables by the bar. Good choice as Tasha was working who has a wealth of knowledge of cocktails (even those not on the menu) There is a wide choice of food and all really lovely. All staff were so friendly including Amir who also served us. Thank you for making our anniversary so special and we shall definitely recommend and return on our next visit to Bristol.

Such a lovely meal, especially thanks to Gus, outstanding customer service, really made the whole experience most enjoyable, will definitely be returning soon! Can’t recommend enough

Five years later- October 2024- I won’t be going back. Chaos! The couple next to me complained that they didn’t get their sides. The lady on the other side left her meat and said it was too fatty to eat. The next couple next to us were brought their mains before the starters. We were half way through our squid (5/10) when the waiter tried to put our mains down! My main of tortellini was described as pulled beef but it appeared to be brown paste- ugh! We never received the side we ordered. Tiny cocktails at £11.00. AWFUL… Vastly overpriced…

Have been here a couple of times and service is always excellent and food very good. It can be quite noisy but yet very comfortable, well priced, nice selection of food and drinks. Highly recommend either for food or just a drink.

Our first time eating here and I cannot fault anything about the service at Piccolino!! Every single server we came into contact with was brilliant, very personable and made our dining experience that much better!! Shout out to Razran and Gus - We will definitely be coming back :)

Had an absolutely fantastic meal, both of us very much enjoyed our visit - a ra Dom one at that, spotted the restaurant from our hotel and thought we'd give it go. It did not disappoint at all. Very much looked after by Amir,, more than happy to recommend to anyone

Very good restaurant, with good pizzas and good pastas. Thank Gonçalo for his excellent service and friendliness during our dinner.

The butler Gomçalo was super nice and attentive. Make the experience better!!

Amazing food and service at Piccolino Bristol. Amazing service and wine knowledge from Alina! Will definitely come back again!

We got served by Razvah and he was so kind and the customer service was brilliant, really enjoyable birthday dinner for my friend.

Razvan provided amazing customer service to us during my friends birthday meal!

Visited this beautiful resturant today. The food was delicious 10/10. Got a pizza and pasta they were both unreal. Service was great everyone very friendly and helpful. Overall this was a great experience ❤️

What a Lovely Restaurant. Extremely Welcoming, we couldn't fault the Service. There was a problem with my main, but this was rectified immediately. The food is a bit more pricy than some other restaurants but you get what you pay for. We will definitely be back 😋😋😋

Great food and service! Thank you, Gomcalo

A lovely and delicious restaurant if you want to eat Italian food in Bristol. We ate some excellent risottos, cooked just right, and some delicious pizzas that were truly top notch. The chefs Danielle, Vincent and Domenico are highly trained. Furthermore, the service was enlivened by Alina's extremely professional and kind personality. you are in the area and want to eat real Italian food this is the right place.

As is the norm, decor and ambiance is amazing and superb service from the staff, especially Amir. Keep up the good work and service

Me and my partner visit at least once per year. Incredible atmosphere, food and hospitality! Amazing service once again from Razvan.

The food was delicious, but what made it really exceptional was the beyond fantastic service by Gus. Had a lovely evening.

The meals were delicious and authentic I would highly recommend this restaurant for a great evening out. A huge thank you to Gus for being so attentive to our party!

Amazing Amazing Amazing! Food was delicious and the service was hands down the best service of the weekend! Highly recommended! Thank you Gus!
