Settebello Trattoria in Gloucester

Last minute decision as train cancelled. Highly recommend will be back.

Amazing evening. Live singer was the icing on the cake.

A good place in the docks . Enjoyed a salad, dessert and coffee on a sunny day. Service is excellent, lots of follow up and attention from all the staff.

Fantastic food, wines selection is strong. Service outstanding. Friendly and polite.

Amazing roast beef sunday lunch, one of the best...ever

Excellence in service, atmosphere and food quality.

We come to settebello all the time with my family,food is the best and Niamh and Rene good atmosphere outside! Will be back soon Thank you to everyone always

Been here many times, my favourite Italian in the UK. Just cocktails today, excellent Negroni

The Lunch time menu has less choice but still a good variety.

Given this must be the most expensive restaurant in Gloucester I had high hopes for our meal out here, but I left feeling disappointed. This is a busy restaurant, and it is loud. There seems to be little to absorb sound, so the environment is just noisy. It wasn't full and there weren't any rowdy parties, yet we had to lean in to hear each other at times. The service was initially very attentive but as the evening wore on it became harder to attract the attention of the staff, whereas at the beginning they seemed to be always immediately available. Turning to the food, the tomatoes in the Caprese Salad were too cold and that might explain their lack of flavour. To be frank they seemed like a supermarket's cheap salad tomatoes. The mozarrela was nice, but the basil was lost behind the rocket that was included with it. The balsamic was divine. My main was the Agnello Grigliato, grilled leg of lamb steak. First off this turns out to be chargrilled (specified on other dishes, but not on this one), and it was heavily dosed in pepper; the effect of this was to lose the taste of the lamb behind the other flavours and it probably didn't help that the lamb was overcooked. The pesto mash was interesting but didn't really go with the flavours of the lamb, other than to dull the char taste. The accompanying pepperonata was the best bit of the dish. For a dessert I chose the Formaggi Misti Italiani, a selection of 3 cheeses with homemade focaccia and chutney. The focaccia and chutney were great as was the gorgonzola (although it was a tiny portion), the taleggio was nice, but the pecorino (by far the largest portion of cheese) was really only edible when eaten with the focassia and the chutney; the other two cheeses stood on their own. Drinks were good, the house wines were very drinkable if a little pricey. Overall everything seemed way over priced for what it was, except perhaps the Caprese Salad. The cheese in particular at £11 seemed very pricey for what was on the plate. There are much better value for money choices in the area with less noisy environments and better composed dishes so I don't think we will be trying this restaurant again. It was ok, but when you consider we paid £125 for a meal for two (including drinks) it becomes decidedly average and at that price you want better than average.

Lovely restaurant with a really nice atmosphere. Serves authentic italian dishes, really good quality and super tasty food. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Had a lovely evening celebrating a family occasion. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely location, wonderful food, great people!

Favourite Italian in Gloucester. Always friendly and with great food

Fantastic food. The focaccia and pickled beetroot with goats cheese for starters were yummy. For mains we had the sweet potato risotto, salmon and bolognese. The creme brulee was one of the best we've had. Staff very friendly and attentive. Atmosphere lively but not loud. And lovely decorations. Highly recommend. Had we lived closer we would be a regular!

We ordered from specials menu, my friends hash brown was like a house brick and my lamb was chewy...the staff were lovely otherwise it would have been 2 stars

Settebello Cheltenham. We were really looking forward to experiencing Settebello Cheltenham, having seen the Gloucester reviews, but it was so poor, in terms of food, and what it’s trying to achieve, that we’ll wait another few months to try it again.

Very good food, very friendly and nice staff. We will be back very soon.

Amazing service, and beautiful food (in huge portions). Looking forward to visiting again next time we're in Gloucester and would recommend to anyone in the area.

As always excellant food and service

Excellent food and service. Can recommend the seafood options. Nice atmosphere and decor as well.

Excellent food and served to a party of 11 at the same time. Very friendly staff.

Friendly staff and excellent food. A lovely lunch at the Docks.

Really busy place to be in! Quick and friendly services. Pastas could have tasted nicer than they were tbh. The tiramisu is pretty good with slightly more solid than the tiramisus in other places. All dishes come in medium-sized portions.

The dining experience at this restaurant was excellent. Both the food and the service provided by the staff were great.

Me and my partner came here for a little date night, we ordered: Drinks: Kopperberg, Pinot Rose then Irish coffee after dinner Starters: Calamari and Bruschetta Mains: Sirloin steak ( Chargrilled Sirloin Steak, Garlic King Oyster Mushrooms, Rocket, Potato Fondant, Salsa Verde & Aged Parmesan) and Pastore pizza (San Marzano Tomatoes, Fior di Latte, Red Onion Jam, Goat’s Cheese & Basil) Service: The staff welcoming us were very friendly and showed us to our table quite quickly. We were asked if we wanted some water for the table which is always nice (And we wasn't charged for it!) Our waitress was friendly but didn't seem too experienced as she wasn't sure if the drink I ordered was on the menu but that didn't bother me at all. We were left alone whilst eating which I always find nice but wasn't the fastest when it came to picking up the plates when we had finished. Starters: The calamari and bruschetta starters were really tasty and we both enjoyed them Main: The pizza I had tasted amazing and I really enjoyed it however, it did come out uncut (I think this might be normal?) but I had to ask for it to be cut and was brought out a pizza cutter. I know by reading the menu that the dough isn't cooked for long but I couldn't eat the pizza normally and had to roll it up in order to eat it as it wasn't possible to hold the pizza otherwise or fold it sideways to eat. My partner had the steak and again, it tasted really nice but portion wise, there wasn't too much and there was only a bit of potato fondant as you can see by the picture and plenty of rocket so by the time she had finished, she wasn't feeling too full.

From arrival through to departure I was looked after, especially by Filipe Food was amazing, thank you chef! Staff were amazing Atmosphere was buzzing, even on a Tuesday night! Very well trained guys who looked happy in their work, Very well done guys 👍🏼👍🏼

Food was absolutely delicious, both flavour and presentation absolutely outstanding. Restaurant itself is cosy, welcoming and with a rustic touch. Service from the tattooed girl at the bar was fantastic, what a lovely service. Knowledge of wine and a witty chat! 😁 However, there is some negative points. Restaurant was unbearably hot and humid, not a single window open even for a minute. Also, our server (blonde girl) could benefit from retraining in customer service (abrupt, like our request were a chore, even asking for water jug!).

Fia and Filipe were very welcoming and attentive whilst I dined, and the food was lovely.

Lovely food, ambience and service 😋 Thank you Settebello 🙏🏼

Really lovely food and staff. Catered for food allergies easily. Food nicely prepared.

Eaten here many times, outside، with the dogs. Inside and outside dining. Food nice, wine is good. Offer free Limoncelĺo nice, but non alcoholic alternative would be nice. Service today, was a bit pushy, too quick when ordering and for another bottle wine (which we have) and at end to vacate table.

Our daughter chose Settebello for her 21st birthday. It was an impressive storm going on outside and there were some impressive Italian offerings going on inside. Everyone really enjoyed their food. Pizzas, pasta, garlic bread, all excellent. We want to do a particular shout out to Kieya, who served us. Really nice interactions with us as a group. Some lovely witty exchanges; and we felt appreciated and looked after. Waiting staff like that can make a meal really enjoyable, and Kieya did just that. Thank you.

A proper Italian Restaurant, with a brilliant 'City Vibe'. It isn't cheap, but very good value for the quality of the food.....and wine.

very good service, reasonably priced food (£10-20) during lunch hours and it was also delicious enjoyed it a lot

Me and my partner came here for a romantic and atmospheric birthday dinner. The restaurant is beautiful inside and out with fair lights in the trees and plants hanging from the ceiling inside! The restaurant itself was buzzing with people and the food was lovely! Just wish the tiramisu would have had a lighter cream it was very heavy! Next time I look forward to trying the frozen cocktails!

First time here 4 generations of the same family, ages between 5 and 95. Food well presented and really tasty, a wide range of choice for all of us. One thing that stood out was the waitress who served us. She was very polite, very efficient and very helpful, all with a smile on her face. A credit to the business

Took our Granddaughter after starting college for a "celebration meal", staff were great, food was Fantastic. Will definitely bring her back again next time we visit.

Carbonara can be very hit and miss but the one I had here today was DIVINE. It was a beautiful sunny day so we sat around the side in the sun and by the water. This can sometimes mean you are forgotten by staff (in other restaurants) but nothing could be further from the truth here, staff were super attentive and efficient. Definitely will be back, YUMMY ;))

Great little restaurant by the docks. Good choice of food and the staff were very attentive and pleasant. You have the choice to sit inside or outdoors and they even provide blankets which is a nice thought.

Really lovely food and efficient, friendly service

Penne arrabiatta was amazing! And do was the bruschetta 🥰 The service was very nice with the waiter being quite helpful and pleasant.

Amazing food amazing atmosphere

First time for us, Food was fabulous staff were amazing will definitely be back 10/10

Had a great meal here & the service was excellent. Would definitely recommend

I enjoy my visit to Settebello. The food was good, although it was quite loud, given its small space. The service was excellent though, which made the evening more enjoyable and seamless. I would go again.

The absolute best Italian. Menu choice excellent and cocktails bonus. Don't go if want quick cheap meal. This has kept its good standard return a definate. Atmosphere for all expensive but you have to pay for quality. Spot on grazie

Not the best, chicken was overcooked and staff where hesitant to sit us down

Lovely lively restaurant on the keys. Fitted us in after being let down elsewhere. Thanks

Enjoyable meal Excellent friendly and helpful staff

The food tasted OK but was nothing special. After asking for an orange sand lemonade ( 3 times) I was served an apple cocktail luckily spotted before I drank it. (I was driving) however the view of the canal is fantastic.

Sirloin steak was tiny I also asked for a medium and got literal raw with 1 massive mushroom and 3 tube shaped miniature potatoes which added together wouldn’t even come to one whole potato stacked on top of the steak instead of some beautiful roasted new potatoes shocking!

Lovely staff and restaurant, cocktails are lovely. However, I ordered the “pollo” which is priced £22. When arrived, the plate contains a chicken breast, a singular potato rosti, 3 cherry tomatoes and a spread of burrata. I was left disappointed and hungry, £22 for a chicken breast! Appalled.

I went here for a friend's birthday and thought it was going to be a disaster after they couldn't find it booking. Despite me having the email confirmation. However, they found me a table. The staff were all amazing. Really friendly and helpful. The food tasted and looked great. I would recommend eating here to anyone.

Had a lunchtime meal with my 12-year old daughter. The calamari starter I had was the best I’ve tasted anywhere! My daughter said her pizza was lovely and she’s a connoisseur when it comes to pizza!! Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff, will definitely go again.

If you know Italian food you'll know this isn't quite right. Setting is the best thing about this restaurant, next to the Quays and as mentioned above watching the lights on the canal at night.... lovely!! However the food is mediocre at best!! My £11 cheese desert consisted of the smallest slices of cheese you've ever seen with a few rocket leaves, sunblushed tomatoes and olives with "focaccia bread" which really was just pizza dough. It was all just....ok!!! £114 for two people 3 courses no coffee or liquor!! You decide if that's worth paying.

It was the first time in this restaurant and I can say that it is simply exceptional! Pizza as good as in Italy (even better than many pizzerias in Italy) and excellent beers! Courtesy of the staff, speed of service and quality of the products are at home here! Impeccable cleanliness, especially the plates and cutlery (shiny!). A beautiful environment with a breathtaking view! I will definitely be back! Well done guys, congratulations! (Nospon)

Great food, very friendly staff!

Fantastic restaurant, been a couple of times with family and friends and always ended up having a wonderful meal and fantastic drinks. The staff go over and above to look after you and couldn't be more helpful. Definitely a special place to visit and can't wait to go back.

Fantastic Italian restaurant. Great atmosphere and wonderful staff. And as a bonus they have a vegan menu. 👍👍

Good food, good service, reasonably priced, wouldn't hesitate to go back.

I cannot rate this place highly enough, the food, the service, the catering to my gluten-free diet. Absolutely outstanding, wish i could give more than 5 stars ❤️

Most of my food was burned, I had sea bass, once I scraped off the skin I was able to eat it. The veg and bits were blackened. My wife's pizza was burned to charcoal many places it was horrible. Only one type of ale. The waitress was pleasant and polite. I will not be returning. Why do these places burn food. This is unacceptable.

Absolutely fabulous! Food is exceptional!

We always enjoy our meals here. The service and the food are excellent

9/6/2024-Sunday. My husband and I went to this Family-run restaurant, Settebello, that serves authentic Italian food. This is our 1st time to this Italian restaurant. Nice restaurant with spacious seating area. The serving portion is massive. I love their Seafood Pasta. We ordered from starter finishing with Dessert. Every dishes were superb. Thank to the waiter name MARCO for his excellent service and the rest of the teams. They're very helpful and attentive. This is one of the BEST Italian restaurant, I have ever been so far. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Can’t wait to return to this awesome little restaurant. Food was fantastic and big portions, waitresses very lovely indeed. But for me the cherry on the cake is the location, being able to eat and watch the lights bouncing off the docks water …. aww awesome and limoncello on the end 🙌🏼🫶🏼

Great restaurant. Seating inside and out. Polite staff and delicious food.

Only popped in to pay a deposit for a booking in August. Staff were great but I had a beer while I was there. £6.45 for a pint of Peroni which I thought was extortionate. Otherwise would have been 5 stars.

Brilliant experience. Food was fantastic, very tasty & well presented. This was our first visit & will not be our last. Setting is also remarkable being in the Docks. Server Lauren looked after us perfectly. Definitely worth the 20 mile round trip.

Food was amazing, staff really polite and welcoming. Bit pricey but definitely worth the extra.

I visited Settebello with my family during the Tall Ships festival and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We were a party of 5 and were seated outside which was enjoyable to watch the festivities. Most of us enjoyed a pizza and another a chicken dish, the pizza is delicious with flavourful and fresh ingredients, the only minor complaint was the chicken dish was a little dry but they were incredibly busy and the flavour made up for it. The staff were attentive and my cocktail was lovely! I’ve visited a few times before but the pizza tasted better than past experiences (around when they opened), the topping options were also better. Keep up the great work and I’ll be back!

The starter is good, a creamy goat cheese with freshly made focaccia, the pizza is not good, £16 for a frozen pizza full of senseless things, really not good, I think the restaurant is better, the pizza is not the case. Prices too high for the food they serve. Mediocre location. Excellent service.

The restaurant is top notch, always excellent service, very pleasant atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised!!!

Very nice place, friendly staff, lovely food 🙂

Really nice food but the only criticism is that the tables are all crammed together and it felt claustrophobic. It was difficult to have a conversation as it was so loud because of so many people. Also I’m not sure if the air con was working but it was really hot in the restaurant.

This restaurant was a highlight on the docks. A busy restaurant where we could sit outside. The staff looked after us. We started with bread and focaccia. The dough was just so plump and tasty. The focaccia was oozing in garlic. We had pizza main course. Fluffy dough was just perfect. I had four cheese. The size of the pizza was generous and it was a great dinner. Highly recommended. Book ahead.

Excellent efficient, friendly service and delicious food. Great to have it in Gloucester.

Seven of us had dinner last night . Great service and wonderful food ! Have already booked to go again !

Visited around 6:30pm on Saturday 18/05/24 as a party of 4. Booking definitely advised as it was very busy. Staff were very welcoming on arrival, seated us straight away and after a few minutes browsing the menu, they took our food and drinks order. Between us all we had garlic dough balls, mozzarella sticks, and calamari for starters. All were delicious, especially the mozzarella sticks. Main course we had pizza, risotto, salmon, rigatoni ragu, and again we all agreed it was great food. Desserts we had sorbet, pannacotta, tiramisu. Lovely finish to the meal. With a couple of rounds of drinks as well, the total was about £170, which we felt was worth it for the standard of food. The only slight niggle was it was a warm evening and although there did seem to be air conditioning, it was either only switched on sporadically or it wasn’t working. And with the restaurant so busy, it didn’t feel as comfortable as perhaps it could be had the air conditioning been working properly. It’s a minor thing, not so bad that we wouldn’t visit again that’s for sure.

Great location and Atmosphere food very delicious service spot on

Quality food and great friendly atmosphere

First time I had been, went with some friends for a dinner on a Friday evening. Although a little on the expensive side compared to some other Italian venues near by, there is no comparison when it Comes to the quality and taste of the food. If you want to try authentic Italian, cooked well, then you should try Settebello in Glouchester Docks. I arrived ahead of my friends and had a drink in the bar, the staff were really welcoming and were all Smiling and enjoying themselves… which made the entire atmosphere a welcoming change to most venues I go to. I wasn’t drinking and was disappointed in selection of non-alcoholic drinks, but they did have some. Definitely one to try if you want a nice out with friends, some Bubbly and good wholesome Food!

Great staff who were very welcoming and accommodating. I had the Carbonara which I have to admit was presented lovely but in terms of flavour was pretty bland. The eggs had scrambled and the amount of bacon was very small. Pasta was undercooked also . Very disappointed as I had seen the reviews prior to coming.

Come to Settebello often enough must say food always on point had salmon and wife had sea bass. The 2 people who served us this lunch such good sense of humour and really did make us feel welcome!

Came today and sat outside weather so nice sitting on the waterside Must say staff so fast I think there names Niamh and Ben but it was so busy so fair play to them in this heat aha!

Busy in evening but during the day it's our go to.

Excellent Italian restaurant. Very well run and organised. Food excellent - I had spaghetti with seafood. Decent menu choices and lovely aspect overlooking the restored docks

Genuinely really good food! The service was fast and they looked after us well. The food was brilliant, everything tasted great!

Visited for lunch yesterday with some friends. Despite the restaurant having an issue with the gas and electric the food was great. The standout meal was the spaghetti carbonara. It was very similar to food I’d had in Italy. Just the most delicious carbonara I’ve ever had. So rich and creamy. Others had the Sunday roast and said it was delicious.

Fabulous food, friendly staff. Save room for the panacotta (Or the tiramisu.)

Delicious food, good service, worth a visit

Great host leave her on the front line ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Came tonight and just want to say the host was the highlight of the night! She had such good character! And really made the night funny! Food came spot on time! Will be back

Great experience with my family. The food is authentic, the staff were always on hand but not overbearing, and the atmosphere is relaxed. I will be going back, and my son (23) says he will ne taking his work colleagues.

Nice place, although I'm not quite sure that it's worth the 4.7 it's got. The pizza was pretty good, although a little heavy on the sauce and cheese, the dough however was absolutely superb. Our biggest gripe was the NOISE in the restaurant, my wife and I quite literally couldn't hear each other talk without shouting at one another, so we ended up eating near enough in silence and leaving as quickly as we could.

This restaurant is in a nice setting in Gloucester keys and is a nice place to have Dinner. The atmosphere was great and the staff were superb. The food was good but not excellent and its a bit on the pricier side . The service was really exceptional and the restaurant was full inside and out so well done to them.

It's such a beautiful place, the ambience is quite nice, brilliant service and the food is delicious.

Amazing food, and excellent service as always, with amazing cocktails 🍸

Amazing food and amazing service

This place is brilliant. The food is so good. My family are from the same area in Italy and the food is comparable but they also do some really "cheffy" dishes like the whipped goats cheese is amazing and nothing like anything I've tried before. Its a shame it's so far from where we live or it would be a regular haunt. I would definitely take a detour to go back and try something else. If you're in the area you have to go here
