Food is delicious - from starters (fondue is cracking, a little bit stingy on bread) to desserts. Cheesecake is fabulous. Pizza choice is always good and it’s prepared fresh, with very interesting topping choices - everyone can find something to enjoy. Staff is also great, helps with all the difficult food choices and is very responsive (thank you Shereen!)!
Ragu' Napoletano was potentially the best pizza I have ever had. Was given the wrong pizza by mistake but was corrected very quickly with no issue. Staff friendly and helpful would return 100%
The food was amazing and the service was just as good. We ordered Napoli pizza with tuna and margarita with salami, tasted great. Their signature tiramisu was delicious, one of the best I've ever had. The staff were also kind and very friendly. Chatting with Zebedee was pleasure. If you would like to eat delicious pizza and tiramisu I strongly recommend Franco Manca.
Really delicious food! I had the artichoke & butternut squash salad which was so good. I was really impressed with how they dealt with my nut allergy - they told me they swapped the usual wooden board for the garlic bread to a plate to avoid cross contamination too 👍 Made me feel very safe to enjoy my food. My first time trying Franco Manca but I will definitely be going back!
We had our wedding reception at Franco Manca Bristol and it was absolutely brilliant!! The whole team are fantastic, and made our day feel so special. We hired the whole restaurant for a day, just paying a flat fee for the exclusive hire, covering all our food and drinks. The team were so kind and accommodating, throughout the whole planning process and our wedding day. It's a beautiful space, and our wedding illustrator (Illustration by Kiwi) even decorated the restaurant chalkboards! All our guests were so pleased, the restaurant was beautiful, the food was exquisite and so thoughtfully tailored for guests with dietary requirements, the service was exceptional and the whole wedding had the relaxed vibes we'd hoped for. I loved getting to make a wedding playlist so all the music was familiar, and having our cake and desserts delivered direct to the restaurant was super convenient. The restaurant team worked seamlessly with our suppliers to make sure everything went well on the day! I can't leave a review without saying a very special thank you for letting me make my own pizza in your kitchen, it was so special to have a little pizza-making masterclass!! Thank you to Tom and the whole team for making our day feel so special! (Photos are by Stephanie Dreams photography)
