The atmosphere was quite lovely, and the food was generally very delicious. The dish I ordered for my main was particularly delightful, I must say. However, my partner's selection was just okay. The staff were remarkably friendly as well!

Honestly, that was some of the best food I've had in a long time! Service was amazing, they managed to squeeze us in even though they were full. If you're in Bristol, go here!

We booked here as we were attending a concert in the area. After some trouble finding the place we both remarked that it reminded us of some of the understated but excellent restaurants we visited in London in the 1990’s. Not overly fussy, but a very nice look and feel. Food was superb, service spot on. Thanks again. Back soon!

We booked this restaurant from a recommendation and before they launched their January offer, so to find they had such a good deal was a lovely surprise. The caponata bruschetta was amazing, I could happily eat that forevermore. I had the squash, pecan and blue cheese Bucatini which although was delish needed a touch more seasoning and blue cheese, hubby's beef shin lasagne though was perfection. The house white that came with the offer was not good, and I opted for a large glass of the Grüner Veltliner which was very good, and well worth the price. Wish we had room for dessert, as they too sounded o good.

Wow! Wow! Wow! We are here for the evening to see a band at the O2 arena here in Bristol. Needed somewhere to eat and thank goodness we stubbled on this place! Service: excellent… Food??? Out of this world! Cannot fault this place at all!!! 10/10

Amazing food and service. Came to Bristol earlier in the year and walked past this place after eating elsewhere. Promised ourselves we’d try here next time. We hadn’t booked and managed to get a table (advise too book as they’re very popular). The food was INSANE. Amazing service and definitely a hidden gem! Don’t walk past! go in!!

I absolutely love Cotto Wine Bar & Kitchen and I keep coming back with friends. Cotto is the perfect place for stunning food, amazing wine and ambience. One of my absolute favourite places in Bristol. Highly recommended. Perfect.

Not sure this wine bar has a full kitchen - I think they are heating up pre cooked food on heated plates. That said the starter of burrata and mushrooms was excellent. The chicken pasta was good, but the carbonara was very disappointing and nothing like the original Pasta Loco Carbonara - it’s thick spaghetti with a thick odd tasting sauce and tiny bits of hard bacon (half fatty). Interior cheap and chilly - but the emperors new clothes springs to mind.

Really lovely place, the pasta was delicious (best pasta I’ve had in a long time), the wine recommendation was great and our waitress was very friendly!
Simplicity with sophistication. The ambience is simple and welcoming. The food is impeccable and the wine stunning. A wonderful ‘neighbourhood Italian’ in the centre of Bristol providing something different to the ‘hum-drum’.

My second time at this restaurant, love it so much! Such lovely food and wine and a great atmosphere. We had a couple of pasta dishes to share. We didn't have dessert but the options looked really great. The staff are lovely as well, can't recommend enough!

Today’s special drink list is 10 out of 10. White wine is very flowery but not sweet. Orange wine is crispy and fresh, kinda like Prosecco. Red one is full of flavors and has a amazing finishing! Food is so good too. The scallops starter almost the best one I had in Bristol. The source on the top is incredible. We even reordered one plate sourdough bread to enjoy every drop of it. Pastas are great as well. A fly in the ointment is dessert. The lavender pana cotta is not smooth and there is a very strong almond flavor in pistachio gelato. But I think the texture is good. You’ll like it if you enjoy almond.

Was a lovely place. The best prawns I have ever tasted. Plus the pasta was so good, will go there again soon.

Absolutely amazing experience from the moment we walked in. We were suppose to go to pasta loco but unfortunately they shut down this week so moved us here (sister restaurant) but we are so glad! From the moment we walked in the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing, we tried 3 starters, 4 mains and 2 desserts from a small menu that changes weekly. All were packed with individual flavour and good portion sizes for decent prices. The drinks were also lovely and the ambience is bustling and has a good vibe but also easy to chat and enjoy your meal. I will definitely return with friend and be visiting their two other restaurants.
