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

Great service and great food, picked this place at random the first night of a two night stay and were not disappointed. Staff looked after us well without being over attentive. The food was well presented and more importantly well prepared and very tasty. My wife chose the minute steak and was not disappointed. We enjoyed the experience so much we went back on the second night as well! Thank you all at the Aqua Brasserie for two nights of great food and fab cocktails!

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.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Only down side (and this is me being very picky) toilets are very small and the noise the chairs can make on the tiled floor

Pizza, spaghetti, risotto, sides, we have really enjoyed everything, they’re all hits in our book!

Top place for dinner. Very accommodating place with super attentive members of staff that make great recommendations. Thanks and see you soon

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.

Simply the best Italian restaurant in England, in over 40 years of dining never found another that's comes close

My first visit and it exceeded my expectations, everything was very good, I was just a little disappointed with the pizza since the sausage was cold. The spaghetti was excellent as were the starters. Ohh the salad was crispy and fresh "I loved it" The tiramisu was very good. A very well selected pink wine. I hope to return soon. Thank you!!!

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.

10/10 service and 10/10 food. The smallest pizza size was still too big to eat in one portion and the alfredo I had was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever tried ❤️

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.

Avoid at all costs. No GF options and terrible service! Far better pizza available in Bristol. Food was less than average and service was not good at all.

A friend and I had our “Special” birthday celebratory lunch with friends at Al Fresco. We all had a delicious lunch and staff were were friendly. Plus a great help in the planning stage. Thank you.

¡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
