The Italian Kitchen in South Gloucestershire

Myself and my daughter came for the Tuesday steak offer. I have to say the steak was cooked beautifully! Tasty chunky chips and salad. Also came with wine as part of the deal! We had a wonderful night and the staff/service was fantastic as always! Jimmy, Jen and the team always make you feel welcome! Thank you again.

We spent a fun afternoon here enjoying the bottomless brunch deal. The food was amazing, tasty and great value . The staff were helpful and friendly. Service was excellent with regular top ups on the drinks. We all enjoyed the experience and would recommend a visit.

Best Sunday lunch I think I have had, good service but is a bit loud

Delicious food and excellent service.

We’ve been here many times, fantastic food and drinks, great portions and really great Italian food everything I’ve ordered has always been amazing. Really friendly staff especially Jimmy a great host. Highly recommend 👍

Always good food. Always good service and good size portions

Went to the Italian Kitchen for Sunday Roast lunch on the recommendation of others, as not somewhere you would naturally think about for English Sunday Roast. Mostly vg, with big veg portions, massive yorkshire, all well cooked and reasonably priced. Only grip was chicken portion was small and dry. Those that had pork, beef and veggie option all had good sized, juicy portions. That said overall vg and will go there again for sure, just won't have the chicken.

We visited this restaurant in busy Sunday evening. I can understand that have to be very stressful and hard for the staff but we've been very disappointed with slow service in restaurant, we waited just too long for ordering and food as well. I don't want to be just negative and have to say food was absolutely delicious and in my case spaghetti Carbonara was just fantastic! The owner of the restaurant was very nice and friendly too and he did apologise for the waiting, but that can't change our experience unfortunately. But because all that lovely food I'll give the restaurant second chance in future and will comeback hopefully I'll have a different and better experience!

Food excellent. Drinks good but service was horrible. Slooooooow servise. 30min waiting for food was bad.

We visited for Sunday Roast on 22nd Sept. I heard that it was popular so I booked a few weeks ago. So glad I did. The restaurant was very busy! Even so, we were seated immediately, and drinks arrived within 5 mins. The service was amazing! The dinners were huge, the best Yorkshire pudding I've ever had. I can't wait to come back!!

The restaurant was very busy but this did not affect the service which was excellent. I would definitely recommend the roast, I had the beef, thick slices with a generous portion of vegetables, some of our party had the lamb shank which literally fell off the bone. Great service all round from Jen, Jimmy and all staff. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Great Italian food. Good selection on the menu. I had bolognaise, and it tasted homemade. There is no parking but there is a pay and display car park just down the road opposite. A large step to enter the premises but a member of staff set up a ramp, making the restaurant accessible. Will definitely be back.

Impeccable service and the meal second to none. I am looking forward to my birthday lunch with a few family and friends next week.

First time customer. Three takeaway pizzas ordered. Not disappointed. Absolutely delicious. My husband was so pleased to find somewhere that did a fish pizza. Will have to dine there another time. Definitely recommend

Tasty pizza, good food offer from 12 to 5 on a Saturday

Staff lovely. Food lovely. But so packed in there. It's was hot.even children crying due ti heat.

Loved it here! Food was spot on, service was fab and great atmosphere too! Can't wait to go back! Delicious roast, huge yorkshire puddings and so much veg, we ended up taking some home!

Lovely lunch with the gang . Food was perfect as always ❤️

Disappointed with our first and will be the last visit, thought our meal was overpriced ordering lasagna that was how it came, no chips, salad just lasagna.My drink was served warm, and on leaving noticed cans of cider in a fridge when I was under the impression that it was on tap.On a plus the service was excellent, but our overall experience was not good.

Never ever disappoints. Literally not once has the food and experience been less than incredible.

A group of 17 work colleagues went to the Italian kitchen yesterday for lunch for a little surprise baby shower for a colleague. From the minute I placed the booking they were so accommodating, allowing some of us to get there early to decorate the table and let us take in our own cupcakes. We were seated all together on a long table at the back of the restaurant, it was full in there but the atmosphere was lovely and not too noisy. Some of us who had to leave early were able to order food before everyone else and someone even took their food home! The food was exceptional and was enjoyed by all 17 of us. Thank you to Jen and the team for your hospitality. x

A big thank you for last night (20 Sept). Great food and great service from all the girls. Especially as you were SO busy earlier.

Delicious food, friendly staff. Only negative is that it was very warm on a hot day!

Bad service. Sunday lunch with friends. The food was fine. But We weren’t asked if we wanted anymore to drink after we initially sat down or shown the desert menu. it was stifling hot also.

Have eaten here several times over the years and the food is always fantastic as is the service, yesterday had my first roast and had it delivered, it was fantastic, great portion sizes, gravy was incredible and I can't quite believed it arrived in only 6 minutes of ordering!!! Delivered roasts will be a much more regular occurrence from now on.

Lush meal, good mocktails, friendly service.

First visit for Sunday Lunch. Quite a pleasant experience from my entrance. The staff were very attentive to my requirements, and the service was excellent. The portions are more than adequate. In fact, they gave me a container, and I had another meal the next day. The cooking was, in my opinion, spot on. The price was fair, and the value for money was better than expected. I will certainly be a regular visitor

Lovely and quiet mid week lunch. Staff were wonderful and food was great! We had the pizza with spicy sausage, prawns and onions (Sei on menu) and Penne Arrabiata - big recommends on both!

Nothing not to like here. Best pork I've eaten, and big portions

We came in on a busy Saturday night with no booking/reservation and they went above and beyond to make sure we had a table. They were so lovely and when we saw then serve a birthday cake for someones birthday, they made the experience really fun and had the whole restaurant join in. Felt really wholesome inside even though it was super busy but we really appreciate the fact they sat us down quickly as well as serve us well. They made sure to not forget about us! I also really liked the fact they had a big variety on dishes. They didnt just offer pizza and pasta...they had meat and seafood options.

Had a Sunday roast and was delicious. Always a risk when ordering lamb as it's not always cooked right but it was literally falling off the bone and was perfect. Highly recommend

Simply Amazing! The food is delicious, we had the Bruschetta to start, Penna Pollo Pasta, thick cut chips and garlic cheese pizza for main to share. The portions are very generous and a very warm welcome from Jimmy and his team! Denfitnely a firm favourite restaurant of ours! Can't wait to return, it's always a highlight of our week!

A nice place, my wife and i had a rare child free evening, and it's local. The food was really good quality. The manager was a little frantic, but it was a hot day, and the place was warm inside. The service was attentive but not overbearing, which I thought was great. The value for money was good. I will happily recommend and return.

Good service and lovely food in nice surroundings. The tiramisu is a real favourite of mine.

Excellent Sunday lunch, attentive staff efficient service and very reasonable priced. I would fully recommend you try.

Went today for a birthday lunch, great service, food was fab, would absolutely go again, recommended.

1st visit to this restaurant. Wow it was the best roast dinner I've tasted eating out staff were very nice and quick service 😋

Best Italian in Bristol👏 Service and food always unreal the linguini salmon is always a 10/10! Cannot recommend enough

Best Italian in Bristol. Family friendly and the owner is really welcoming. We recommend to booked in in advance because it gets very busy!

Always brilliant service. Fed a party of 8 of us and food was hot and delicious. The place was packed but we got our food very quickly. I always have to take a doggy bag home...quantity as well as quality. Love this place and boss man 😃

First time doing here from a friend’s recommendation, honestly the best roast I’ve had. We order the beef and also added pork belly. The best roast we’ve had, we have already rebooked!

After having Uber eats drop my food all over my doorstep they made me a fresh order and gave me a free garlic bread, the lady manger was super lovely and professional.

Although we ate early evening the place was quite busy. We all (4 people) totally enjoyed our food. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices were very good.

The owner is an amazing human being. I had the pleasure of eating here here and the food was nothing less than great but what really amazed me was seeing the owner treating every one equally, and I mean stuff and even the delivery drivers, I heard him asking if they wanted a drink wile waiting. This restaurant deserve respect.

Absolutely fantastic Sunday roast. Great quantity and great quality. Will defiantly go again. Staff also amazing and accommodating. 5 stars. Thanks Chris

Being a bit harsh with my review, even though the Sunday roast was AMAZING!!. Beef was cooked perfectly. Yorkshire pud was fluffy and yum, and the gravy was perfect. Lost one star on service because we weren't told that certain things weren't on the menu due to it being Sunday ( I was really looking forward to a particular chicken dish). Also, my Mother In Law was disappointed that the offer of 2 courses for X' amount was only for starters and a roast. She would have like mains and dessert. Staff were super friendly, kind, and attentive, but the restaurant was so packed with tables and small walkways that to get out, everyone had to back up into a space between diners and then attempt to go again, then brushing past people at the door. Just a little bit snug and cosy. Like I said, though. I have been fussy with my review. It was lovely. They would benefit greatly from bigger premises as they're clearly very popular.

Seafood pizza was the best I've had in years!!

All a pleasant evening with Italian kitchen! The Italian restaurant exceeded expectations with their delicious chicken bacon risotto. The dish was perfectly cooked, with tender chicken and crispy bacon complementing the creamy risotto. The flavors were well-balanced. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall dining experience, making it a memorable meal. Would definitely recommend for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine!

There were 19 of us for Sunday lunch , we must have been a nightmare of a table for the staff. But we had a brilliant time, nothing was too much trouble, the waitresses were kind efficient and attentive. The food was delicious too. Thank you

Amazing food Amazing staff will definitely go again and tell friends beautiful restaurant

Lovely food, brilliant service. Enjoyed the pizza and wine! Will return for more soon! The atmosphere was nice and cosy

We were given a given voucher for here and told it was lovely so was looking forward to some nice Italian food. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to our expectations. There was a bit of an odd smell as soon as you walk through the door, which wasn’t a good start. The waitress was polite and gave us a choice of tables. My wife had the linguini and ‘spicy’ meatballs, I had a pizza and my son had a kids chicken goujons. The pizza was supposed to be spicy but was rather bland but not too bad. The meatballs were the size of tennis balls, they were so dry in the middle it was difficult to pick them up on a fork, they tasted like cheap burgers. My son’s goujons tasted of chip fat, the fries it came with reminded me of the scraps you used to get for free from a chip shop and were covered in salt. Personally I wouldn’t return, the place was dirty, the fire escape door we were sat by was filthy, the ovens looked stained with fat, if you’re going to have a kitchen that’s visible to customers it should be spotless.

Absolutely delightful staff and the food was just incredible - can’t wait to come back!

The food was really delicious. As were the cocktails. Reasonably priced and would recommend

As usual, all great and well worth a visit..

We love coming here. However, every time we do, the service is terrible. Food is always good, a little inconsistent but flavourful. We were seated near the toilets, a little squashed if you were sitting on the outside chair with waitresses bashing past you each time. Had to wait ages for the table to be cleared of mains. Took ages for someone to bring dessert menu after we had to ask for it. Then, we had to ask someone for our dessert order to be taken. Again, then, I had to ask for the bill. Could've done with a drink re fill, but no one was attending us. Didn't even ask if our food was OK. With all the waitresses stood near the toilets, you'd think at least one of them could have served us. It's a shame as we really like going, but we always know if we do go, we have to wait and ask for attention. Young waitresses need a little more training. Hopefully, they can sort it out soon.

The food was amazing. Very busy but served promptly. The main guy was attentive & friendly, however, the waiting staff seemed pissed off about something & came across as unfriendly. A minor blip .

ust popped in for a lunch . Very quick , super friendly and efficient staff greeted us and got us a table without reservation. Starters came out just a few minutes after getting our drinks . Everything was greatly presented , very well seasoned and super tasty . We had a great lunchtime deal and could enjoy more authentic food for less :) . Super friendly waiter hosted us with a big smile . Highly recommend it, worth a visit if you’re going on a date , eating out with family or celebrating a birthday :) . Will visit again .

Excellent Sunday dinner..very friendly staff...and great atmosphere

A very good time was spent there. I like the fact that you are not rushed and have all the time you need to order and eat. The staff is very nice and helpful. The only downside is that it is very loud and has no music. It's a tiny place with lots of seats.

I used to think this was the best restaurant in the street, but after being unreasonably verbally attacked and teased by restaurant staff for asking for food packing box and bag, I am disappointed with the place. They were very rude.

We had a Sunday lunch here and the food was excellent 👌

One of the best Sunday roasts about. Even hard to beat, from a seasoned Sunday roast explorer. Big portion, which is exactly what you want from a roast and everything cooked and seasoned well. Good job

Excellent food, friendly staff, we had half and half pizza and carbonara, both were delicious. Had the roast before which was also very good

Not a great deal to say apart from it's absolutely superb. The food here has always been top notch 😋

Food was good 👍 but because its so popular it was extremely noisy.

Food was good service was terrible I had to approach the staff when we wanted every course and drink I believe I would be sat there all night if I didn’t have to approach them. A bit disappointed if I’m being honest with you

Always such amazing food 😋 and happy friendly service. Love that they cater for gluten free it makes me and my daughter si happy

Fantastic food with generous portions, a great atmosphere and good service. Very Italian!!

A very enjoyable meal,probably the best belly of pork I have had,scrumptious crackling.Our whole party enjoyed what they had.Thank you

Can do gluten free pizza as well

Great food, fast and great service.

Unreal food and service. This is the best Italian I have had and for a great price too! 5 from 5 stars, simply awesome!

Been here a few times now Had a really nice meal here would deff come back. Reasonable prices and quick service and great food

Attentive service and lovely food

We have visited many times and never a bad meal. Friendly service, great atmosphere and well priced genuine Italian cuisine and wines.

Wow Great food Great service Great place to eat

The food tasted lovely with very generous portions at a reasonable price. Service was faultless, I never felt the need to get the attention of staff as they were quick to take our order and checked if we wanted another when our drinks were running low, they were attentive without feeling intrusive.

Recommended by my son so we all went for a meal. Service was great as was the food. Recommended

Lovely Sunday roast. Excellent quality and plenty of it. Highly recommended.

Went here recently for my mum's 70th birthday. Both the food and service was top notch! Will defo got again! 👌

Amazing restaurant lovely friendly staff, food fabulous 👌

The owner is fantastic very well organised clean place to eat very welcome and we had a lovely roast lunch the staff were very friendly specially Jean very nice 😀 and excellent service highly recommended thanks Aleida

Great food and pricing is reasonable, but the service and restaurant itself is a bit tired. We were served by about 4 different people, the menus we were given were stained and mine had a corner missing. A few of the seats were ripped, cutlery provided in buckets (some of which not clean), starters were served on two different colour plates while the main came on a white plate. Above our table there was a flickering light, which was the last of about 4 other bulbs in the same fixture that had gone out. The place just needs some TLC. As I said, the food itself was very good.

First time visiting here today, it's a lovely place and the food was delicious 🤤

Amazing food and great staff!!!!!

Had heard a lot of good reviews about this place so finally got here. We were able to get a reservation on the morning of the evening we wanted to come. Atmosphere was lovely, lots of celebrations going on. Staff very attentive especially Jan who chatted to our son about what he was going to have and what he liked. Food was absolutely outstanding and what I couldn't eat was boxed up. Would highly recommend.

Lovely place, went with my partner, and returned for his birthday a month or so later. Food is excellent and staff are on point with service and friendly. Prices are decent and food portions fab, defo return again

Frequent flyer to this place, the staff fall over themselves to help and meet requirements, the food is always outstanding, and the atmosphere is always buzzing as it's such a lovely place!

Dined here last night and it was honestly an appalling experience. I will not be returning to this establishment. First of all, the restaurant had a draining and negative atmosphere. None of the waitresses had smiled the entire time we were there. They all looked so miserable. If you don’t like your job, quit. Simple as that. There are plenty of jobs looking for staff that you could start immediately in. Secondly, the food. I ordered a pizza. Where do I start. The pizza was not cut at all, I had to attempt cutting it with the cutlery already on the table. Additionally, the pizza toppings fell off immediately after picking a slice up. Furthermore, the pizza dough was atrocious. It was like biting into cardboard with some tomato purée on. I have honestly tasted better pizza’s at random takeaway companies. The prices are also extortionate for what you get. If I could give 0 stars I would. I do not recommend this restaurant at all.

What a gem - you will not get a bad meal here. Always busy, always delicious, always receive a warm welcome. Try the Sunday roast but go hungry

Great meal late on a Sunday evening. Pizza was amazing, huge salad. Deep fried mushies awesome. Pizza too big for one, my advice to share! Sunday looked superb.

Popped in on the off chance last & they were good enough accommodating to find us a table. Food was hot & delicious so much so i just finished the leftover 🍕 Plenty of serving staff to take care of our needs.

Started with stale bread, main course wasn’t anything to be raving about more flavour in my shoe. Refused to exchange or give a refund. Abhorrent manager with an abrupt attitude. Wouldn’t be attending again.

What a surprise....was my 1st visit and was well impressed by the whole experience. Great food and service. Most definitely will be going again.

This has been the best Pizza I have ever had... apologies I forgot to take a picture. Superb Italian restaurant and one that can't be passed up. If you are local you mist try them out... you will not be disappointed.

Great food, friendly, attentive staff in a nice atmosphere and reasonably priced.

Loved the food and the service was great.

Avoid the House white...lords...other than that AMAZING

Good service and lovley meal.will go again X
