The Vittoria in Bristol, City of

Visited to try the Sunday roast, which had an awesome crispy roast pork belly and delicious cauliflower cheese. The roasties were a bit of a let down and the venue was quite dark, but the service was fast and friendly!

Used to be the last proper old fashioned boozer in the area with decent beer. Now bland student offering focussing on cheap cocktails and shots. Service was fine but not for me!

Ventilation of this place is awful! There are also some controversial are on the wall which I strongly recommend the owner to bring them down.

Incredibly rude staff. I was walking past the Vittoria yesterday afternoon when one of the staff was putting their tables out. The staff member swung a table round into my face. I blocked it with my arm. He then carried on putting the tables out without acknowledging me. I pointed out that he'd smacked me with the table, to which he replied, "And what?". He then said he didn't have eyes in the back of his head and didn't have time to look all around him when he's busy. I was walking on the pavement - he needs to be more careful and to not even apologise is crazy. I've enjoyed drinks in the Vittoria before but won't be back.

Loved this place gor years because its an old fashioned style pub and we should look to use and keep such places

great service and cocktails at reasonable prices. what’s not to like

The staff are really friendly and there's a good selection of cocktails. However the beer selection is rather lacking and it suffers from a lack of space, essentially being a shop front converted into a bar. If you can find a time when it's not overly busy, it's pretty good, but generally over priced in my opinion and always end up sitting outside.

Interesting little pub. We didn’t eat and several of the beers were unavailable

Monumental Sunday lunches. Perfect atmosphere. Enjoy.

Only been for drinks. Cosy, friendly, adequate selection, good enough prices even for the area.

A really nice bar with a great range of drinks. Absolutely loved the (surprisingly affordable) cocktails. It’s got a cozy vibe although it can be a little hard to find a seat!

cute bar - amazing happy hour deal! cocktails were not too strong but just right. great atmosphere and friendly staff

Such a cute little bar with an excellent happy hour options and sweet vibes

😋😋Real hearty roast dinner, absolutely massive and well cooked. Cosy pub in Redland. Best bottomless virgin Mary. Good music.

Nice place, relatively good price but sometimes live music is too loud to have a conversation.

Love the staff here they are so friendly and lovely x especially Leila

Only went for drinks so unsure what or if food is like. Really nice atmosphere and staff were very friendly. I was a little disappointed there was only one cask ale on but there is a good range of generic stuff on tap. We also had some picklebacks which were awesome, and there were extensive cocktails available. Would highly recommend

Friendly place with a small but nice range of beers.

Our favourite pub in Bristol! Very knowledgeable bar staff who are always super friendly, feels like a proper pub which is unusual for the Clifton area! they’ve started doing small plates recently that were DELICIOUS. Can’t argue with the £5 Happy hour cocktails either!

A rare find these days - a real drinkers' pub in Clifton! There used to be many but some have closed (The Peeler, The Portland Vaults, The Byron House), some are pretty much restaurants (The Albion, the Clifton) and the Corrie Tap is a pale shadow of its old self. But the Vitoria is a joy, a place to sink a few good pints and have a chat without having to yell over loud music. The bar staff were very friendly too.

Both Ellie’s and jay were amazing tonight I can’t wait to come back their service was amazing :)))!!!!!!!!!

Such a delicious good value Sunday roast at a beautiful classic pub! Bonus it’s a dog friendly pub too, got to meet the pub dog Leo!

We loved the happy hour cocktail menu - ended up having one of each!

The worst roast ever 😅 We think things were portioned with a tea spoon. 🥄 Literally a mouthful of stuffing, cauli cheese that was mush, two teeny bits of squash and two slithers of tasteless meat. The "gravy" was just greasy water. 🙃 best part was the Yorkie. And that's just the food.... the pub itself is GRIM. Dirty, sticky and run down. We left so disappointed. A wasted Sunday roast when there are so many other amazing places in Bristol. Avoid. The order: Beef - £14 Beef & pork - £16 📅 Visited in October 2023

Bar tenders tonight went above and BEYOND. Made everyone feel comfortable, great chat, customer service was impeccable and they gave advice for beyond Vittoria which was v kind. They deserve a pay rise, double it.

Great, fun spot for affordable cocktails.

Nice pub, interesting sort of bar. Came here for a roast as it was highly recommended, the roast itself was really tasty, cauli cheese was amazing, veg was nice. The beef and the pork belly was super tasty. Price was decent and I didn't have to pay extra for the cauli cheese which was a nice change. The only thing I didn't massively like was the fried potatoes slices instead of roast potatoes. Other than that it's top notch. the drinks they serve are nice as well, bottomless bloody Marys for £5.

Fab roast - gravy especially delicious. Friendly service and £5 bottomless Bloody Mary with Sunday roast complete winner

We’ve been many times to this bar but never again! My husband and I had one delicious glass of red wine and then asked for two more of the same. We were served an old, undrinkable, thick & sweet wine that wasn’t the same. When we complained, the bar staff refused to replace it and said we would have to pay again for two new glasses. We left our full glasses of undrinkable wine on the counter and left as the bar staff sniggered. I’ve been in hospitality all my working life and I haven’t experienced this lack of professionalism since the 1970’s.

Excellent roast, lovely service, great place. I cannot recommend this place more! This was the best roast I had, and you could taste that it was made with a lot of love and care. The people are so lovely and helpful, you feel right at home. And the place looks really great, cool atmosphere.

Amazing pub,nice location and great drinks and honest price.

Great Sunday Roast and Bloody Marys!

Preferred it years ago when it was more traditional & had more character. It’s still a great little pub.

The worst roast dinner I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The roast beef was tasteless, gravy was more like water, Yorkshire pudding was burnt and flat, the stuffing (with beef?) was also burnt and the tea spoon of cauliflower cheese was average at best. Looking at previous reviews it looks as though this establishment have let standards slip, won’t be returning.

Cozy bar with a great vibe and friendly staff 👌

always super lively here and for good reason, great atmosphere with very friendly staff. it’s quite pricey for beer/wine so recommend their happy hour cocktails instead!

Delicious cocktails and lovely atmosphere! Can’t wait to try the Sunday roast :)

Great atmosphere, cheap cocktail deals

Love this pub for a spot of jazz or just to people watch. Great atmosphere and soothing vibes.

Made us feel very unwelcome. The venue looked lovely but the atmosphere was very cold.

Friendliest bar staff you’ll ever meet. Have a chat with them and they’ll solve all of your problems. Would recommend.

I’m not a Lawyer or a Teacher however I am a working class human being with expendable cash to eat and dine out. Bizarrely I do not judge the staff of this establishment as they are providing an excellent service at unsociable hours. I recommend a visit and treat other humans as you would like to be treated yourself…. If money buys you superior status, you are deluded and are trying to hard!! Get a life

No beer or cider on draft and a can of thatchers gold £5 🤦 dang

£5 cocktails before 10pm. Good vibes

fantastic pub. Great atmosphere.

Super cool bar, went for Jack Calloway on Sunday afternoon which was great. Roast Dinners look lush..... must book one for next time!!

Amazing roast, brill vegan and veggie options! Honestly the only place I come for cocktails, such good value

Nice live jazz on a Sunday. Very fair portions for the Sunday roast

Didn’t fancy cooking so popped along on Sunday for a roast for my partner and our little one. Greeted as we entered we were quickly shown a table and explained what food offering they had. A drinks menu was brought over quickly and we enjoyed a couple of cocktails whilst waiting 15-20mins for our roasts. We had a beef and a pork plus a little beef for our 4yr old. All was very tasty and the server very quickly offered to grab a cool plate for little’un due to hot plates, nice touch, and we cleared our plates joyfully. Nice cauli cheese served as standard and the meats were both cooked well. We will return next time we can’t be bothered to cook. Bonus points should be given to the nice lady on the bar as we left who spotted our tot and recommended a free events room down the road on our walk home. We had lots of fun.

Really nice place... tables outside were perfect for a drink in the sun

Proper old school pub with a great and very helpful landlord very happy to go again

Cozy little dark pub, with a quirky atmosphere Great jazz band on Sundays, and friendly service. Our server Ellie was so helpful, she called us a taxi, and even made sure we didn't miss it! Great place. Will certainly be back.

🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸 AMAZING COCTAILS, MUSIC,LIGHTING,STAFF AND SUNDAY ROAST ! DREAM I MEAN DREAM 🤩🤩

Amazing. I used to live not very far from there and loved how they transformed it so now bring my bf with me. Good drinks, we finally had a roast there - it was perfect 🥰

I visited the Vittoria with a group of friends a few weeks ago. We were looking for a roast spot and could see that this place had good reviews. On arrival, the staff were friendly. When it came to ordering, were no food menus, or clear prices which was a bit confusing. The waitress said they had pork or beef roasts and could pay ‘a few pounds extra’ to ‘double up’. When asked for clarity, she confirmed it would be £1 to have both meats, which seemed reasonable. There were 6 of us, 4 went for the double up and myself and one other of my party went for pork. We were under the impression that we would get less pork if we doubled up and weren’t keen on having beef that day. I am gluten free, so asked if I could have mine gluten free, they said I wouldn’t be able to have the Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese or stuffing but they promised that they would bump it up with extra veg/potatoes to make up for it. It wasn’t particularly busy at all so we had assumed that we would get our food rather quickly. After waiting for 50 minutes, we asked the staff how long it would be and they told us it would be shortly. By the time we got our food, over an hour had passed since ordering. When the food came, there was a shocking difference between my plate and the other people in my group. The kitchen served me the exact same amount of veg (basically 1 of each vegetable) and potatoes (2 each) as everyone else, rather than topping me up to account for the fact I am allergic to some components. My friend took pity on my abysmal looking lunch and gave me some of his parsnips (after roaring with laughter at how pitiful it looked). One thing we all had in common however, was the pork. Worst pork I’ve ever eaten. It was rock hard, a struggle to chew and even more of a struggle to swallow. We joked that the reason the kitchen took so long is because they were spending that time overcooking our meat! It was terrible. I was swallowing whole chunks as I was unable to chew it down. The two of us that got the pork were expecting 2 pieces to equate to the same amount as the people that paid extra for beef (it was just one piece, which to be fair I am grateful for as it was so horrible). Apparently the beef was better than the pork, but still nothing special. One good thing - they do refillable bloody Mary’s for £5, which my friends enjoyed. I usually would have said something there and then but my friends had waited so long by that time they just wanted to eat and leave and I didn’t want to cause a fuss on our day out. I definitely wouldn’t return again and feel very confused as to why it has good reviews.

Amazing place. Great atmosphere, the roast was excellent, the drinks were excellent and the music was brilliant.

Loved the feel and atmosphere in here. Great music, drinks and friendly warm staff.

Sunday Roast, hadn’t visited before but an instagram poll said the roast was up there with the best so booked in to give a bash. Cute pub and dog friendly, the roast was okay but the gravy really let it down, the plate was swimming in it and it was really watery so everything was soggy. The meat was nice but everything else was unfortunately basic which was a shame!

The roast was good, the staff are amazing, the spaces are tight, but it's not a deal breaker. They're was a jazz band playing which was fun entertainment

Went for their Sunday roast. Good service and vibes. However I’ve had more tastier roast elsewhere and had higher expectations. But overall an enjoyable meal

Had Sunday lunch here. The beef was tough. The carrots tasted if star anise. The gravy very watery. Sadly not a top ten roast for me as other sites state. Nice cozy bar for a drink maybe but it did smell of pickles as you walked in.

This place is sick. Nuff said. Gets busy so get down early.

Love this place 4ever 🍸🍹🍸🍹 special shout out to Hugo who was so lovely to us and was so patient. THANKS HUGO ur a legend !! 🤴best marg I’ve ever had also

what a great experience! came for cocktails with my girlies and had the best time. Hugo was super attentive and it was clear he loved his job! keep up the good work Hugo!

Such a fab bristol spot, £5 cocktails that are SO GOOD!! Hugo served us and was a legend, best service ever. 😎😎😎

Great prices, great vibes, great staff

Lovely staff and brilliant cocktails

Vittoria is cool, stylish and oozing with personality. It's an intimate venue, with dark woods and low lighting, making for an excellent date spot, or meeting place for a small group of friends. They offer good cocktails at an extremely reasonable price, almost shockingly so. Apparently do a brilliant roast and jazz Sunday. Couldn't dream of more!

We had a really bad experience. We are professional people visiting Bristol. (A lawyer and a teacher). I tipped over a drink by accident and the girl, who dyes her hair bleach blonde with roots, said that I had had too much to drink - not the case as I write this review whilst in the pub. I asked for a drink to replace and the drink was not made. I asked why and they told me it was a cocktail (it was a gin and tonic - I worked in a bar when I was a teenager and it’s not that difficult). I challenged this and we were then told we were not being served. Clearly because we are old enough and wise enough not to put up with speaking to like that by some inexperienced teenagers. He said “you are in my work-space”. Well, I am spending money in your work-space. Defensive and inexperienced. This is NOT how to behave towards paying customers. Luckily we go home earning a hell of a lot more money and living a better life than the bar staff here do. But I guess that’s what happens when you don’t listen at school. They have a cocktail “respect your elders”, I don’t think these teenagers understand this concept.

Yay. A place we've never tried before but will go back again. Friendly staff on the night we visited and a decent range of beers. The place has a warm, well-worn feel about it and the music they played (80's disco biscuits)was the perfect starter for our night out. Looks like they do live music too and Dixieland Jazz on a Sunday afternoon. Can't wait to dip our toe in again soon.

Met my mate for a quick pint on a very rainy day, nice beer and friendly staff. Want to come back on the weekend for a roast.

One of the worst Sunday roast I ever had. Use to be amazing and incredible, and now sorry but doesn't deserve to even Ty it

Great cocktails and nice atmosphere.

5 star service, lush Sunday roast

Very nice atmosphere and quality food

Lovely staff and very patient with our toddler who decided she wanted a job behind the bar.

Such a lovely pub. The staff are all super friendly, the roast is really good and the Happy Hour cocktails are fab!

Nice stop on any pub crawl down, or up, Whiteladies Road. Good craft beers and cocktails (although, like many places, those are a little overpriced for my liking).

Fantastic roast, great beer on tap with friendly service and we are happily a repeat offender to this establishment!

All cocktails excellently made. For £5 each during happy "hour" (significantly longer than an hour) you can't go wrong! Recommend the D*ldo Baggins :)

Came for the £5 cocktails happy hour and really enjoyed! Only had a couple, but the staff were lovely and the cocktails were delicious! Will definitely be returning

Absolutely amazing Sunday dinner with my dad, the staff were very attentive and welcoming. Even have beavertown neck oil! Winner winner

I stumbled in here on night with friends to be greeted by the most friendly of friendly pub dogs. The staff and patrons were all in great spirits and there was such a lovely atmosphere. Described as a “dive bar” by one of the staff but really they have great cocktail and well poured Guinness. I think this might become my new favourite place to go for drinks on whiteladies road.

Sunday Lunch was the absolute dream. Take a shopping bag with you, pass it around the front door and let it be filled with a Sunday Sensation.

Nice and cosy with live jazz after 4pm the only snag was there wasn't enough of the menu choice we wanted. Even so, what we did have was very nice and we will come again and hopefully get what we want this time.

The Sunday roast was one of the best meals we had in lockdown. Definitely will be ordering again!

Sunday roast at @vittoriabristol 🙌 I was so so pleased to see a moat of gravy 😍 I love to cover everything in gravy and too often I find myself needing extra gravy, this was perfect! Actually proper crispy roasties, hallelujah 🎉🎉 for me, this...

Not sure who was serving but went in today (18th October) for a roast and had amazing service, they were super friendly and helpful. Tried a good few roasts in Bristol and this was amazing, good veggie option and bottomless bloody Mary's. Super cosy atmosphere...

A gem of a place !! Very welcoming, nice food, and wonderful jazz .... Brilliant evening !

Love this place! Everyone that works there is so lovely and always having a nice time! They do amazing Old Fashioned's and other cocktails for a great price! Best in the West and the roast is delightful too! A gem of a pub! Will definitely be back!

Cracking pub with super cocktail list. Great Jazz nights and the team offer a personal service. They know their audience and offer a great ambience. Very covid aware and great at keeping customers masked up!

Amazing roast dinner! One of the best I've had. Friendly and welcoming staff. Cosy little place. Will definitely be going again soon.

Great pub quiz when we attended on a Wednesday. Lovely pub, great staff.

My favourite pub in the area. Cosy tables and warm lighting. No tacky student vibes to be found! The guys who run the bar are super friendly and helpful. Great tunes too.

Nice, friendly, independent pub on Whiteladies Rd.

Small, lovely pub on Whiteladies Road. It has events throughout the week including live folk on a Sunday. Their Sunday roasts are excellent.

One of the best roasts I’ve had in Bristol and really friendly staff. The pub itself is really cool and quirky, though quite small so probably would need to book. Couldn’t have asked for more on our visit!

Their roasts are absolutely delicious! Packed full of every side you could ever want, topped with an epic Yorkshire pudding. Head down on a Sunday and enjoy some Jazz music as well. I'd recommend booking a table so you're not disappointed!

Excellent Sunday Roast for a low price! The pork belly was juicy and the sides were all well made. The vegetarian option is also very good. Only complaint was that the website is inaccurate about opening times, it states it opens at 11 but when I got there they said it doesn't open until 12. Additionally the website has no link to make a reservation. I think the website should be updated if possible.
