Best Italian food near Bristol, England, United Kingdom

April 22, 2020 Karren Gelb

Find out what Italian restaurants to try in Bristol. Bristol is a quirky British city with beautiful hilly vistas and plenty of historic sights to explore. Anyone interested in ships will have a blast aboard Brunel’s SS Great Britain, the world’s first great oceanliner, and the Matthew, a replica of the ship upon which John Cabot sailed to America in the 15th century. The graceful Clifton Suspension Bridge is another must-see.

Looking for a dinner venue on north side of Bristol and found this one ...lots of customers and very friendly/helpful staff. The meal was good and served in a timely manner but just felt a little bit hurried. Pricing was good and I would definitely recommend this venue and would return if in the area again.

Arrived in Bristol after a long day on the railway to a hotel with no food! But thankfully they recommended I try this nearby restaurant that would give me a complementary glass of wine on production of my room key.True to their word, I enjoyed a glass of red, tasty simple pasta dish ( my choice from an extensive specials board and menu), followed by limoncello and raspberry brûlée. All reasonably priced with attentive and exceptional customer service from Gerome (in a busy restaurant!)Thoroughly enjoyed it, and would visit again when next up this way on business!

We recieved a Gift Voucher which was used at Veeno in Bristol, and after being in touch via email with Laurentiu the General Manager we booked it for 10/10/19 at 12pmAfter arriving into Bristol around 12pm due to traffic we rung Veeno and the staff were more than happy to fully accommodate for our needs.When we arrived to Veeno we were introduced by a lovely lady who introduced us and showed us to our table. She provided a brief overview of the package we had ordered ''Afternoon Tea''. She mentioned that we can add a Beer or Prosecco to the order which we decided Beer would be great.When the Food came over shortly after sitting down we were introduced by Daniele who again greeted us with a big smile which allowed us to feel as though we were the only customers in the restaurant. The food was AMAZING and Plentiful, and began with savoury then followed with sweet.I will definitely be recommending Veeno to friends and family, Customer Care 10/10, Food 10/10, Cleanliness 10/10 & Location 10/10.Thank you again everyone at Bristol Veeno

Pasta Loco

2 cousins 1 passion - hospitality. Great fresh in house cooked pastas stemming from Italian recipes with a twist from Ben Harvey with his cousin Dominic BOREL leading the front of house operation - a perfect mix!

Reviewed By ianc2004

Not a negative on the whole place. From the service to the food, to the drink, not one thing is poor about this place. Friendly engaging welcome and clarifying a small but fresh menu. Food is of a very high standard. A great little place that is five star in all aspects

Family-run Italian/Sardinian restaurant where everydish is homemade each day with passion. Freshly homemade pastas, slow-cooked meats,72 hours pizza dough, homemade desserts good wines and amazing staff at Zanky's!

Reviewed By RuthyHe

As frequent visitors to Sardinia we were thrilled to find a Sardinian restaurant so close to home. We ordered several antipasti alongside main courses, wine, coffee and sides- all were delicious! But these portion sizes were small, the restaurant space is minuscule (there was a large table behind us which was loud - no fault of the restaurant but it was offputting) and it was so hot we couldn’t enjoy the meal. The wine cost on the bill differed to the cost on the menu, although we didn’t question this at the time, and the 15% surcharge was outrageous for a party of 4. Sadly we won’t be returning but wish this wasn’t the case because the food was great.
