The best restaurants serving Italian food in Bristol, City of South West

I just have one word MAGNIFICO. Food is great, Atmosphere is Fantastic, Staff is Amazing. It's like stepping in Italy eating a sliced pizza listening all Italian chatting is super good. Good cakes and plenty VEGAN OPTIONS 😋 Loved it !!

This spot had great pizza and wine, reasonable prizes. Great service too- Elisa made sure we were looked after and was super friendly!

best panino I have ever had in my life, fresh ingredients and worth the price. Very friendly stuff and lovely atmosphere, I will definitely come back.

Exactamente lo que necesitas un sábado por la mañana. Desayunos y cafés baratos y fáciles. Nuestra comida tardó un poco en llegar, pero no importó porque el personal era muy amable. Definitivamente regresaremos.

Very clean, little independent cafe. Very friendly service. Nice food; the Maritozzo was delicious and the Italian hot chocolate very authentic. Would highly recommend.

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.

Fantástico almuerzo para llevar focaccia. Elegí el relleno de ensalada caprese con prosciutto añadido. Absolutamente delicioso - casi tan bueno como conseguir esto en Italia.

Great Greek restaurant authentic atmosphere took us back to holidays in the Greek Islands. Greek music (not too loud!) and excellent Greek food. If you have ever been on holiday to Greece you need to visit this restaurant

Che, our barista made our brief visit here absolutely amazing. She was funny, welcoming, and made fantastic coffee, including the best hot chocolate I had ever tried! She made a great effort to talk with all the customers, and let us stay later than closing time as she closed down. Will definitely be coming back!

Located in a rather unlikely location on a small industrial estate, this is a small bar & restaurant attached to the Bianchi’s (Pasta Loco, Pasta Ripiena, etc) kitchen. There is outside seating at the front that has taken over a couple of parking spaces, a small bar counter behind this, and further seating upstairs. It’s all quite basic in feel as befits it’s location, and opening hours are fairly restricted. The menu was chalked on a couple of boards above the bar counter, and there were also some (very nice looking) sausage rolls on display. I opted for the fennel sausage pasta, and this was a decent and tasty dish, and quite a generous portion. Across the table, the salted cod pasta was also well received, with a whole riot of flavours going on, although this was perhaps a little on the small side. The barman was pleasant and friendly. Overall, another solid venue from these guys who can’t seem to put a foot wrong.

9 different meals, all sent to the table at the same time - a real feat when there is one member of staff in the kitchen! All our meals were lovely; hot, well cooked and plentiful. Service was good and the restaurant was spotlessly clean if a little lacking in ambience. This nice guy so deserves to succeed. We would all eat there again in a heartbeat if we ever return to Bristol.

Great spot for lunch on the way to the Hippodrome. Always lovely food and excellent friendly service. Beautifully clean and great value for money. We will definitely be back again.

Outrageously good pizzas. I had the miele di Napoli and we shared the Christmas special garlic bread. Everything was delicious and the vibes impeccable.

The best breakfast ever abd lovely atmosphere

Unreal pasta dishes, literally blew me away! Started with a mackerel salad, which if I was being harsh, was just good, but from there things went though the roof. The bruschetta with braised fennel absolutely delicious, then 2 pasta dishes which left me with a big dumb grin on my face. One cheesy, the other with roast beetroot and walnut, sooooo goood!!!!! Then tiramisu and panna cotta, possibly the best I’ve tried on both fronts. Last off clotted cream ice cream for the affogato. Such a treat and the best lunch of a week long trip which consisted of incredible food from start to finish. The restaurant was relaxed, informal, service was friendly and attentive and the pasta prep at the front window was a lovely touch. Came highly recommended and cannot recommend enough. Thank you!
