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

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.

This place has gone down lately. Service slow and awkward. Food very humdrum. Would not allow own bottle of non-alc wine despite them not having any (in the end gave in for a grudging £5 corkage - which we offered anyway). One of the 4 diners could not eat the ravioli as it was rubbery and the cheese inside not at all melted - no discount given nor apology. A great shame as this used to be a nice neighbourhood restaurant.

Myself and my girlfriend made a spur of the moment first time visit this past Saturday night to this wonderful family run authentic Italian restaurant which has been on my list of places to try for far too long. It was a revelation from the minute we walked in the door due to the wonderful welcome and fantastic service and that's before we had even sampled the truly stunning food which was an incredibly appetising and colourful selection full of flavour and all freshly prepared including the starters which my girlfriend absolutely adored. This was absolutely top notch quality food including pizza that is absolutely incredible and all at very good value prices to match or in most cases better any other decent Italian restaurant I've ever visited. We cannot recommend that you visit this amazing restaurant strongly enough and we thank the staff there for the most wonderful meal and welcome we were given which absolutely made our evening and we look forward to returning as soon as we can.
