The best restaurants serving Italian food in South West

A gaggle of dishevelled but quite charming Gen Zs knocking out slightly above average pizza

A nice looking place - super clean and very well decorated Menu is extensive and ideal for a quick meal or just a hot drink. Only negative is the choice of music! This makes it a difficult place to stay for long if you do not appreciate One Love (original mix). This is club music. Mindless thumping beat and weird sounds sometimes repeated wailing noises. Asked the staff to find different music. Seems not possible. Shame really. That type of music is not to everyone’s taste. If you are the staff and into clubbing it would be fine. But the staff are not the one’s to choose the music!

Amazing flavours, amazing food and amazing hospitality. I have been here three weekends in a row now, it's become a Saturday treat. I've been in with my husband, another time with a child and on my own. It was lovely to relax with a book, panini and the best Mocha I've ever had. On top of this the owner and waiting staff are personable, friendly and nice to talk to. Can recommend the Italian sausage panini, comes with lovely salad and the brownies.

Made a special journey to this brewery, in January after checking their webdite , which said they were popen , only to find it closed . Why is the website not updated.

I went here on a Saturday evening for dinner, it was a very quiet little pub but when my friend called in advanced they told us that we were not able to reserve tables although when we went into the pub there were tables that were reserved. They had also told us we weren’t able to bring dogs but we saw people outside with a dog as well as someone bringing their dog inside. This was a bit strange. Although the pizza here was very nice and I think it was reasonably priced although it was quite a thin pizza. Other than that I think this pub is a nice place if you want to go somewhere quiet and peaceful for dinner or drinks.

We arrived quite early on a Saturday evening so the restaurant wasn’t busy. The decoration and styling of the restaurant is beautiful. Staff were attentive and in no way rushing at you but let you take your time and more than happy to explain the menu. Once we’d ordered our drinks, and had time to look at the menu and ordered, the food came up hot and served beautifully on the plates. The food was as tasty as it looked. After completing our meal complimentary Limoncello was poured at the table. We will definitely be back and would recommend this restaurant and hope it continues to flourish

5 stars every time ordered pizza delivery the pizza is always delicious and the guy that delivered was extremely quick wish I could’ve told him how great he was! Thanks guys

We were treated to a lovely mothers day lunch here so booked it for an evening with 4 of our friends. Having told them how great the food was we were expecting a good night. 2 of us had the carbonara which when it arrived was like the meat had been previously cooked and then over reheated and was too hard to eat. I put it all to the side and ate half the past when the waitress arrived I complained and was told that was how it was meant to be! I obviously told her it wasn't and she said shed mention it to the kitchen. Another friend complained that her crab pasta had next to no crab in it and was almost all pasta. For the next 40 to 45 mins nobody came near us even to offer us a drink or the desert menu needless to say we left. I really don't like leaving negative reviews and I wouldn't have if we'd been treated differently. Always better to complain when the management can at least discuss with the customer than to go away feeling like no-one was interested in our opinion.

Pure Pasta is in Saint Nicholas Market and is run by a lovely, friendly, Italian couple. The food is tasty and excellent value, whether you take away or eat inside the small unit/the couple of tables just outside. The pair of us left feeling pleasantly full and with change from £20 despite having a couple of 'starters', main meals and a can of diet coke each.

We travelled half an hour to come here to buy cannolis, (large cannolis filled with ricotta which were on the website) I was very disappointed that they didn’t have any! I asked and was told “we don’t do those anymore” a bit of a poor show for a Sicilian bakery. We stayed and had a coffee and croissant, it was nice but nothing in the food cabinet was labelled and there was no menu so a little frustrating not knowing what anything was, all in all a bit disappointing!

Delicious fresh pizza, and offer home delivery, but quite expensive. The make your own is quite good value. Usually quick delivery. Quite traditional, thin crust, nice tomato sauce and not swimming in oily cheese. Just the right balance

Warm, inviting atmosphere with wonderful Italian coffee. It’s hard to resist the cannoli pastries too! A welcome addition to Henleaze Rd despite there being four other cafes nearby. Limited seating but somehow you always manage to find a chair/stool.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! Delicious, authentic Italian food made with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. This is a family-owned gem where the owner goes above and beyond to make sure your experience is nothing short of amazing. You can truly taste the love and care in every dish. Highly recommend!
