I do hate to knock a small business but this place has a lot to improve. Waiter was friendly and the drinks were good. Unfortunately the food was not to the same standard - Garlic bread was too salty, my Ragu tasted like a cheap work canteen meal and my partners pasta was cold and doughy. If they improved their food they've got a good location and great staff and as such could be a fantastic restaurant

I'm disappointed :( My pasta was cold when it arrived and tasted doughy. My partner's meal tasted like canteen food. I told the waiter we were disappointed and gave the honest feedback detailed here.

We were staying in Bristol for a few days, and wanted to find a restaurant away from the central area. We found this gem in Stokes Croft. The area has improved a lot over the years and is quite edgy, with several different cuisines available. The pizza, salad and home made ravioli were exceptional and tasty. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The music and customers made it a joyous place to have a meal. Good Price. We were about 3 times older than the other customers, but no one cared. Thanks

Delicious food and amazing staff. Our order got behind in the hubbubb but the chef and staff could not do enough to make us feel special

We had calamari which was fresh and delicately fried in a light batter, the Mortadella ravioli was delicious as was the Gorgonzola gnocchi…The food was amazing and the service was excellent… the waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and went through most of it with lots of detail and entheuasium and made the best cocktails!It’s more of an informal bistro but has the food of an expensive restaurant.We bought both of our pups which were made very welcome.

Such a lucky find! The homemade pasta was delicious, amazing sauce, tiramisu was one of the best and fine wine! What more can you want? Also loved the beautiful mosaic in the bathroom!Parking: Free parking on Stokes Croft after 6pm, found a spot with no trouble

Ate here for the first time today, will not be the last time! It was my adult son's birthday and he wanted an Italian meal. The food was gorgeous, the service was fab and the atmosphere was relaxed. 100% recommend

Poor food, I went here with my girlfriend, she's been here twice before and loved it but this time wasn't so great. Our wine came after all of our food arrived and the portion of calamari was tiny considering we paid £8. My girlfriend said she enjoyed her pasta a lot however I couldn't finish mine, it was very bland. I'm guessing we caught it on a bad day but we paid a lot and were very disappointed.

Such a delightful find! This spaghetti place offers an array of choices, each with its own distinctive style and balanced flavors. Happy to have stumbled upon it, and will to return for their pizzas! The only downside was the Arancini, which was a bit bland and lacked crispiness on the outside. Hoping for improvement next time!
Great pasta, not too crunchy not too chewy not too soft, just about right.The sauce is splendid, many many details brings the flavor to the whole new level.

Food was incredible, one of the best Italians I’ve had. Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Was given the wrong wine which was more expensive that what we ordered, but the manager realised the mistake and charged us for what we had originally chosen. 100% would recommend to anyone.

Delicious food! We had 4 different arancini's between us and 2 pasta dishes and they were all really good. The service was very good too. It was quite chilly in there (especially in the bathroom!) but otherwise a great spot for a mid-week dinner out.

Family run restaurant with laid back vibes and incredible food. Must try the tiramisu!
