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

The service was incredible! All the staff were super accommodating and sweet. The food was incredible, tasted home-made. The gelato was mouth-watering and tasted just like the real fruit. Great music and decorations were a happy bonus.

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

Ordered on Uber eats, driver cancelled on me twice which meant order took over an hour. The restaurant called me and apologised and the staff were absolutely lovely and offered to remake the food which was very kind of them. They then wrote a lovely apology message on the box and sent both the original pizza and the new pizza they cooked which was very kind of them. Pizza was also amazing best I have ever had!! Thank you!

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.

We chose this place from a bevy of options on the street after the museum, as pizza as a lunch choice & Italian values are generally very family friendly. There was a kids meal deal, an open plan kitchen where you could see the chefs making the dough on a customer facing counter & a game table by the bar which I think was table football. We thought we had been sat in a perfect spot for kids as we were sat pretty close to both the dough counter & the game table, there were no other tables in between us & these things & no risk of getting in the way of the team working or other diners. We felt quite safe watching our children play in this area. We asked the chef if it was ok if the kids watched him make the dough, he said yes just don’t touch the counter. But we were told twice by different members of staff, for our children to not touch the counter. Which they didn't. They were mesmerised & sat on stools, very well behaved. But the way we were told more than once felt awkward. Also, my daughter said to the chef ‘you are very good at that’ and he shushed her! Really unkind thing to do to a shy 5 year old who took a lot of bravery & kindness to give a compliment to an adult she obviously admired. Confidence was knocked. If this was where it ended, I wouldn’t be leaving this review, we’d have just had a little awkward moment and a chat with our 5 year old about some adults being grumpy and that would have been it. But after our pizzas were finished, the kids were playing at the football table and we had a man who seemed like a supervisor in a non uniform shirt, come over & state that if the children are to run around and play on the football table they must be supervised and that they should have shoes on in case of glass. It was done in such a way that it felt like a dressing down rather than a kind word. We were 5m away from the table watching them, this was supervising them, but I think he meant chaperoned so we sent an adult over. These comments & attitude completely spoiled the atmosphere of the meal as we felt we’d just been told how to parent. They were not at any point running. 2 of our children have sensory needs & yes do take their shoes off (but had socks on) and we didn’t think this needed to be made a deal of. We are grown ups who understand risk and have assessed whether we thought that was safe. After that point the man in the shirt came over a few times to stand near our table & stare at the children & huff. Which just made us feel more awkward. If service had been quicker the children would have been at the table eating their gelato from their meal deal, we would have had that, had the bill & left & not been playing at the football table to pass time. We had no check in from the waitress for a good 20-30 minutes (despite it being about 30% full & having loads of staff on). In fact we were only offered the gelato when we asked for the bill after feeling so unwelcome from the supervisor popping over so frequently. If the supervisor wanted us gone quicker, perhaps he could have taken the kids ice cream order himself. Our food was nice but don’t order the hearty salad it’s 90% raw kale & you don’t see much of the other ingredients mentioned on the menu description. Pizzas are good & authentic but they’re not quite as good as Flour & Ash or Bertha’s. I’m sure it’s a nice place & service would have been slow but OK if we didn’t have kids. The other family in there were treated the same as us & also had an awkward chat from the supervisor. But I’ve never been treated like this as a family in a restaurant before & it really ruined an otherwise nice experience.

Been twice and loved it both times. Food is amazing. Service is excellent. Delicious! Will be going back.

Great pasta and great atmosphere

They provided a delicious dairy free meal for me at the last minute! I was part of a big group and when I asked which dishes were safe for me to eat they went above and beyond to help me. I ended up with penne Arrabbiata with rich tomato sauce and loads of chilli and olives- it was so good. The staff were really friendly and helpful, they really couldn’t do more for our group. I’ll definitely be back! Thank you so much!

Popped into this restaurant for a beer on the way back. Definitely quirky and a warm feeling to the place. The staff are really friendly and accommodating. The beer tastes really good and they have a high food hygiene rating. The beer garden is really nice. The grass is kept to a high standard and the children’s play area is epic. Great for the kids while you enjoy a beer in the garden. Will be stopping by here for some food next time.

Beautiful ice cream and fabulous staff. I had some time to kill, so I decided to sit in today. Ice cream was fantastic (as usual) but special kudos to Izzy she was really lovely. Smiling, wishing everyone a good weekend. She’s a real credit to Swoon :)

We had our wedding dinner at Giuseppe’s and it was absolutely perfect. Danny and his team went above and beyond for us and our guests; for which we are so grateful. The food is incredible; authentic Italian, home style cooking served in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. 100% recommend for special occasions (or any occasion actually!) We can’t wait to come back!

I can’t fault the pizza I had once it arrived - but the wait and the communication about it just wasn’t good enough. It took 30 minutes to arrive without any prior warning. After waiting for 20 minutes I asked someone what had happened to it who looked surprised and said she’d find out (and never came back to tell me). The food’s good and the staff are friendly enough but it doesn’t take much to communicate properly with your customers. It wasn’t the first time this has happened either.

Was on a day trip to Bristol and my daughter suggested Molto Buono. What a delight?! The manager kindly arranged a table at short notice and was most charming throughout the experience. Super food. Top service. Will certainly be back to Molto Buono before long.

¡Qué hallazgo! Estuvimos en Bristol por un día y encontramos La Panza por accidente. Estaba cerca de nuestra cita. Qué restaurante tan pequeño. Habitaciones pequeñas y acogedoras con un ambiente agradable. También hay una bonita zona al aire libre. El personal era muy amable y servicial. Compartimos cuatro o cinco entrantes. El Hispy Cabbage era increíble, perfectamente cocido caramelizado y lleno de sabor, el Vegan Arancini era genial. No soy vegano pero alérgico a los lácteos, así que un gran regalo para mí. El vientre de cerdo con hinojo encurtido y salsa verde era fantástico, lleno de sabor y gran agrietamiento! Todo lo que comimos estaba perfectamente cocinado y lleno de sabor. El chef se hizo caca para saludar, chico interesante. Y recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar fresco peculiar
