Visited this place recently for a Christmas lunch with a small group. It was my first time here, and I absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, and the lunch set menu options were very reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be coming back with my family.

Absolutely loved it here. Gorgeous Italian on the edge of the river in Bristol. We just walked in (we were pretty early for dinner) and were seated in the windows. The set up in there is really gorgeous and the staff were all so so lovely. We had wine and pasta and it was really well priced, tasted incredible and we wished we could have stayed for longer but we had a gig to head to at the O2. Will 100% be coming back to try more and enjoy the atmosphere!

This is a lovely Italian restaurant on the banks of the river Avon. It has a relatively large indoor area with some tables having comfortable bench seating. There is a mixture of plastic and real plants - one of which is an extremely long climbing ivy. There is also a smaller outdoor area. The menu is varied and we found our choices of a starter of Trio di Bruschetta and main meals of Fritto Misto & Linguini Belle Vista very tasty and enjoyable. This was nicely rounded off with Profiteroles Chocolate. 😋 Service, which was provided by Adriana, was lovely and friendly and also relatively quick despite it being very busy. Recommended.

I came here for tea and had such a lovely, relaxing experience. The weather was warm enough to sit out on the terrace, which is decorated with pretty fairy lights and offers a lovely view of the river and St Peter’s Church. For my starter, I had the prawns – they were really big, juicy, and clearly very fresh. For my main, I had the lobster ravioli. The pasta was generously filled with lobster, which was a pleasant surprise. I was absolutely stuffed by the end, but everything tasted so good. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I can’t wait to come back again.
