We walked in and we could get a table for a quick lunch luckily. So reservation is recommended.The food were amazing! All we ordered were delicious. I think it was a new experience for Italian food.I had flat white and it tasted good.The service was great too.

Really nice small cosy pasta restaurant. I’ve been to a few other places owned by the same guys and they’re all great. A great thing they do is that once you’ve finished most of your main, they bring out some free focaccia to mop up the sauce. Top quality dishes. A little pricey so great for a special occasion.

This was one of the Italian restaurants that we did enjoyed the most around Bristol, we reserved a table for dinner and we were quite lucky as they were totally full.The vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant is just great, since you come in till you leave you feel like home as the place is extremely cosy.The service it was so so as they were extremely busy running around and there wasn’t so many tables but the waitress did seemed new, however they were very friendly and respectful.The food it was an 10, we were just amazed with both quality of the ingredients and the quality of the dishes were soooo delicious and well prepared, full of taste and kind of a fusion it was just amazing to try these dishes. The red Italian wine it was also great. Congratulations to the chefs and owner.We had a bit of an headache to park the car as the place is right in the city centre we had to search around for a parking spot and ended up paying almost £10 for two hours of parking and it was kind of far from the restaurant.Overall experience it was great and we would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone around looking for a great experience.

Good food and attentive service! A lovely experience. Had a starter and a main dish each but shared everything between 3 of us. We also shared a bottle of red wine.

Absolutely brilliant evening! We arrived at our table and we had personalised menus- which was completely unexpected and a complimentary glass of champagne. We found out this was because of a connection with myself and the owner that we didn’t know existed!!! this was so lovely of them to do! secondly the service was exceptional, very attentive and lots of soft spongy bread delivered to mop up our beautiful sauces- wouldn’t except anything less from the bianchis group! Food was delicious, particular the sage, pumpkin and ricotta Angolotti! stunning!!! also the boquerones, tuna belly, figs starters were so delicious! you must book a table! will be going to the rest of their restaurants soon!!!

I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve eaten here but the food is to DIE for and Tom, Brendan and Johnny are truly so driven to make your experience the best yet!Brendan and Johnny push the boundaries on creating dishes which blow your mind while Tom has the talent of paring your choices with a great wine!

I can't get enough of this place! Each time has been an absolute delight. The pastas and wines are flawless. No wonder the tables are always fully booked. My favorite pasta restaurant in Bristol!
