Absolutely amazing little Italian. It feels very family run and welcoming, the staff were amazing. The atmosphere was bustling and the interior was lovely. Great authentic pizza and pasta too.

A dads and kids afternoon out and decided to have a lunch out. From the moment we walked in we were treated like family. The service from the family run Italian restaurant was superb. They engaged with the kids and then fed us outstanding food. I am from Bristol and have never been before but would return in an instant. It is how restaurants should be run, good service, amazing food and a relaxed and friendly place to be. Kid friendly 👍👍👍👍

The best pizza I've had outside of Italy! The staff was amazing, from booking a table on the phone to ordering and eating the whole experience was wonderful. As a vegan I loved their extensive menu! It was so good and authentic. I can't wait to go back!

Romantic and elegant!I have wanted to try this restaurant for ages, there are always a que out the door and I have heard great things about this restaurant.The good points:The food was delicious and beautifully presented.The staff and owner were so friendly and attentive.The place is beautiful and very romantic.The not so good points:The tables are very tightly packed together.We felt rushed. Our mains were bought as we were still eating our starter. They even bought us our bill before we asked because they needed the table.The prices were reasonable but I do wish the portion sizes were a tad bigger.Overall lovely dinner, I would return but maybe for lunch.

My absolute favourite restaurant in Bristol. The owner is one of the most delightful people you could hope to encounter and he is always around overseeing the service, talking to customers, making everybody laugh and feel welcome. He’s one of those people who completely changes the energy of an entire restaurant just by walking in.But he’s not alone. The staff are all truly excellent, the food is 100% top-notch and as someone who used to live in Italy, it has my vote as beautifully authentic Italian food.I love their Zozza pizza and the Calzone 😙👌🏼 OH and their pistachio ice cream is AMAZING 😍Great food, cosy vibes, genuine people - top restaurant 🌟

Oh mamma mia!These people know what means to have a restaurant, they understand how you want to feel in sitting there and know how to bring joy to your palate. Cost is balanced with quality.From moment zero, the waitress and the "capo" were kind, helpful and made us feel at home, and help us with our thirsty dogs. Things only got better from there, food was excellent. I have only tried pasta that good at home and in Italy.If you come to Bristol, please just try this Italian restaurant. You will not regret. Thanks for the service.

Dropped in On Sunday afternoon with no booking, but they found us a table upstairs within a few minutes, quite packed and cozy. We had pasta and napoletana pizza, everything tasty, prob 3.5* for the food. Definitely a nice atmosphere with rustic deco, felt like Xmas had come early. Prices also very good.

Authentic Italian food at ridiculously cheap prices!! I had 2 pizzas and drinks and it came to £24! The pizza with truffle came with actual truffle (not oil!). The pizzas were proper stonebaked Italian pizza and flavours were excellent. The staff were really accommodating and the owner was lovely. What a wonderful ending to a night out. Fully recommend this gem!!!

*Update Aug 2021*Wanted to visit again with my girlfriend for our 1 year anniversary as she heard me share with friends how nice the food was.Unfortunately the service was dramatically slower and it impacted negatively the whole experience; even causing us to skip the dessert which was ohione of the most exciting parts for me.We were sitting upstairs and unfortunately staff tent to forgot their customers up there. Our starter arrived without two small plates, therefore we ate through the main plate. Our tap water and drink arrived approx 7 minutes after our main meal did. And dessert? Well we finished our main at 21:30, and our waiter came to ask for dessert at 21:58; we just asked for the bill and the card machine, waited another 11 minutes and then we were on our way.Was extremely sad and disappointed to see this place go down like that.**June 2021**Speechless!This is definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Bristol; their food was fresh and full of flavours.Their staff make the whole experience even better as they are extremely kind and welcoming.Will definitely visit again 👌🏻
