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

Amazing place, super friendly staff, food was second to none and likewise with the coffee highly recommended and reasonable prices considering being in the centre of Bristol, the whole family enjoyed it and felt like we were back in Italy

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

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.

Music too loud needs turning down. Food great,servicer very helpful.

My oh my, food prepared with absolute precision and served promptly. The food served was absolutely divine and faultless. Keep doing what you are doing perfection.

Great pasta and great atmosphere

Had a delicious meal here after a trip to the theatre with our granddaughters. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The girls were made a fuss of by the gentleman who was looking after our table. They loved it. Would definitely visit again.

Visited there last night for a family birthday celebration. We were given our own private area which was great. The food choice and quality was amazing, all beautifully presented and hot. Even more impressive were the staff who went out of their way to make us welcome. They were all so friendly and so patient with our party. Shame I don't live locally or I'd be a regular in no time! I would highly recommend!

Popped by on a November Saturday evening with my partner to get some delicious gelato. We have been to the Bath and Oxford locations, but not Bristol! We love the seating area so you can sit in and enjoy your gelato regardless of the weather outside. The staff were super warm and friendly, allowing us to try a couple of samples before deciding and helping us make decisions. I was blessed with coming by when one of a specials was something I love - peanut butter! This tastes absolutely amazing, super creamy for a sorbetto and a very strong peanut flavour with some chocolate ripples. The hazelnut and chocolate brownie were also both incredible, rich and strong flavours, wonderfully smooth. We would highly recommend Swoon 🙂

Nice quiet Italian restaurant near the centre. Food was amazing. It was probably the best swordfish dish (as daily special) I have ever had — fresh taste of fish was kept, mixed with suitable flavour of tomato. The side mushrooms were also delicious. Enjoyed every second! A bit expensive though, but never mind as you would have such an experience. Added: I went another time and tried the monkfish, which is another daily special and is also good, although I like the swordfish better. The side potato is perfectly salted, and the Crème Brûlée is very creamy. Added again: One of the best Carbonara I’ve had outside Italy. The starter garlic bread with tomato sauce (basically Margarita) is already a meal portion, and it is very tasty.

I am so disappointed and I don't write this review lightly. We were holding an event and ordered some pizzas a few hours before it went ahead. Whilst the pizzas were being made we were told that GF was not available. It was not made clear that whilst it was not available that our order was on hold. Our pizzas ended up being 1.5-2 hours late and to apologise, they gave us a voucher for a free dip. When the food arrived none of it was labelled - some were vegan, some were vegetarian and one was meat. We had to try and figure out which was vegan and when we asked were told 'the vegan one has cubed cheese'. It was almost impossible to tell to a point where one of our vegan guests ate a pizza with dairy. I am extremely disappointed.

We had a fabulous lunch here on spec. The restaurant was pretty full (no problem having our small dog with us). The maitre d’hotel was fantastic, very entertaining. The sharing burrata starter was to die for and the pizzas were very good. If only we lived near we would dine there often.

¡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

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.
