One of my favourite restaurants in Bristol, was slightly let down by the pasta this time around but have never had a bad experience here! Their pizzas are the best I’ve ever had, and such an amazing price for what you get!

Food ok given price and type of place it is . Comfort easy dining . Pizza was enormous but not a huge amount of topping in sight . Service was excellent . It is what it is - inexpensive lunch stop .

Everything was lovely! However there was one girl serving what looked like the entire restaurant, she was lovely and served us very well but she was way too over worked, there should have been more staff working so there wasn’t so much pressure on this one waitress! Also pizza size was brilliant for the money but toppings were very sparse, the toppings should cover most of the pizza.
Hello, Thank you very much for your 5* rating. It is so great to hear that you enjoyed our 18-inch pizzas! We appreciate your feedback and your comments have been passed onto the Management Team. Cordiali saluti, The L’Osteria Team
Great food, great price, and lovely to see face mask rules being enforced, looking forward to returning, and loved the leftovers reheated in the evening as the pizzas are huge. Nice to have dough crispy on the outside but still with that lovely chewiness inside.

Fantastic meal at L’Osteria. Staff were friendly and very organised with regard to the current situation. Weather was lovely so we sat outside. Nice summer atmosphere. Food was delicious, big portions. A wonderful find and we will definitely be back 😃
Hi Nicole, Thank you very much for your 5* review and kind words. It is great to hear that you enjoyed the sunny day in our terrace with a lovely meal and great service. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon. Cordiali saluti, The L’Osteria Team
Portion size was huge but quality was not. Salad Nicoise was tired and over dressed. Serving such a quantity in a bowl also made it difficult to eat without spilling. Pizza again was huge but tasteless and dry.
Service was very good but a restaurant has to deliver good food.

COVID measures in place were excellent and reassuring.
Food was good, delicious new beef fillet pasta dish and huge, delicious pizzas as usual. Tiramisu was massive portion size, easily enough to share.
Restaurant was very busy and on the whole service was still good.
Not our first visit and don’t think will be our last.

Hi Wayne Thank you for your comments. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your meal at L’Osteria, and we can’t wait to welcom you back soon. Cordiali saluti, The L’Osteria Team
The pizza was good and huge however sadly our drinks were forgotten, we requested more water which didn't come and our pizza took over an hour to arrive. I will not be going again and I won't be recommending to friends and family. We may just have been unlucky. Our waitress was very passive aggressive so she may have just had a bad day and forgot to put through our whole order.

Hi Sean, Thank you very much for your 5* rating. It is great to hear that you enjoyed your meal and we can’t wait to have you back soon. Cordiali saluti, The L’Osteria Team
The Covid measures in place were efficient and gave confidence, an earlier phone call to check on a possible extra guest ( who in the end was unable to make it ) was quickly answered and handled in a friendly way. Service was friendly and helpful and we liked the buzzy atmosphere. We made an embarrassingly stupid error which was handled in an understanding way with no hint of criticism : on asking for black pepper and Parmesan, we mistakenly added liberal quantities of seasalt without noticing ,making food inedible. It was quickly replaced without a problem and gave a very positive impression. The Zucchini noodles with Gambas was excellent. All in all a very good experience.

All Covid measures in place, was busy due to the eat out / help out deal
Early evening dinner two adults one child was seated right by the door which was odd as it was windy
My spaghetti ragu was so salty I just couldn’t eat it
I told waitress she offered something else but I had lost my appetite, she took my meal off the bill as a gesture of goodwill.
The dessert selection is a bit poor
Wouldn’t recommend
Amazing service, very friendly and patient

Food very good . Due to the eat out scheme it was incredibly busy Which meant things took some time but staff were very charming and apologetic.
Pizza was huge as was all serving. Would recommend. Definitely book ahead.

Restaurant appeared a little overcrowded given the current climate. Staff a little stretched hence the long wait between courses. Quality and flavour of food not up to the usual standards I seriously hope this is just a blip!

Food was nice, i think they had a limited menu due to COVID perhaps? Loud music and exceptional service.
Hi Wookie, Great to hear you enjoyed the food on your visit to us and we thank you for your feedback on the music. On your comments regarding limited menu, we are not sure why you would think we have a limited menu as we have been operating with full menu since reopening. Cordiali saluti, The L’Osteria Team
Lovely place with incredible pizza! Staff were super friendly and helpful!
Hi Martina, Thank you for your great feedback….and we are very happy to hear you enjoyed our super thin crust pizzas, did you know that you can share a pizza with different toppings on each half!!! Cordiali saluti, The L’Osteria Team
The options on the menu were many and really varied and interesting. We ordered a pizza and a pasta dish. The pizza was HUGE, like bigger than the plate huge and reeeeally yummy. The pasta was tasty and rich.
Our servers were super friendly and helpful.
Hello, It is great to hear that you enjoyed your meal in L’Osteria. Our pizzas are indeed huge – 18inches, and the pasts dishes are delicious indeed! We will pass your kind words to our Team in Bristol who will be happy to hear your great feedback. Cordiali saluti, The L’Osteria Team
I went to L’Osteria with a friend for a 18:30 booking. On arrival we were informed that bookings were 5-10 minutes behind so we had to wait. We were then seated and had to wait 40 minutes for someone to at least acknowledge us about ordering a drink. We ordered drinks and food at the same time and then waited a further hour for our food to come out, despite tabled being seated after us receiving their food before us. The food was good and definitely worth the prices however the service was disappointing. At the end of finishing our food my friend asked for the bill and the waitress next to us had already printed the bill so gave it to us and took payment straight away. Overall great atmosphere and good food but the service was lacking attention and professionalism which you’d expect from a restaurant.
Hi Naomi, Thank you for taking the time and to give us your feedback. We are sorry that we did not meeting your expectations on this occasion. Your comments are valuable to us as they help us establish areas of improvement. Cordiali saluti, The L’Osteria Team
We had to chase starters, mains and each round of drinks at least once.
Hello, We thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback on your recent visit to us and have passed on your comments to the team in Bristol. Cordiali saluti, The L’Osteria Team
We waited 25 minutes before somebody came to take our order in which I had to ask aswell. I asked for a white wine with a dash of soda and it was practically soda hardly any wine. We requested 4 additional toppings on our pizza and it came with only 2. When complained, the additional toppings came when we had almost finished the pizza. We were told we wouldn’t be charged for these but when I asked for the bill for the 5th time the missing toppings were on the bill. It then took another 20 minutes for the bill as it needed changing. It wasn’t until I threatened to leave without paying that somebody came over with the card machine. Pizza was nice but the service was so disappointing that I wouldn’t return
Hi Hannah, We are very sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is very valuable to us and we have passed this information to the Restaurant Team so they can further look into this. Cordiali saluti, The L’Osteria Team
The pizzas were large but burnt at the edges. There needs to be more toppings applied.

Had the four cheese pizza with rocket, it was delicious as always. Certainly enough to share between two which makes it really good value for money. The waiting staff were really friendly.

Lovely meal with lovely service.
You could tell staff were not leased to be back at work to
Many thanks
Nice atmosphere, good food, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Appreciated the free pistachio nuts at the bar!
They were playing Gypsy Kings throughout the night which was fun, although would have probably preferred something more italian sounding - not really a criticism, just a personal preference.

Extremely good value for money. The dishes were generous and we had plenty to eat, pricing was very fair in moderation to food, restaurant is smart, good people only small issue was service was quite slow but nothing concerning.

Food was good and portions so big most of us ended up with enough for lunch the next day too. Service was a little slow at times but we weren’t in a hurry so it didn’t spoil our evening. Just could have done with a few more staff on
Great food as always. Not too busy which was nice considering how nice the weather was today! Only downside was the drinks took a while to come but sometimes that can’t be helped. Will definitely be back soon!
