About the restaurant
Holm is inspired by nature and our surroundings in the beautiful South West of England. We are driven by provenance, sustainability and warm hospitality. Our aim is to serve delicious food and drinks in a casual yet refined environment.

The food at Holm will be driven by the seasons, the environment and our locality in the beautiful Somerset countryside. We work with local farmers, growers, butchers, gamekeepers, fishermen and anyone who shares our love of exceptional ingredients, treated with care and respect.

Our wine list is focused, well-chosen and sensibly priced with low intervention, organic and biodynamic wines from small artisanal producers.

About the restaurant
From our hand painted murals to the cosy fireplace, we have left no detail unturned in making sure our guests feel at home in Colosseo.

Your dish will not only be visually stunning, but will taste authentically Italian so you get the feeling of sitting in a restaurant on the cobbled streets of Rome. Choose from an array of dishes from pizzas to pastas and the finest cuts of meat to beautifully rich and decadent desserts.

Located in the heart of Bath, we are just a short walk away from some of Bath's most iconic attractions, like the famous Roman Bath Spas and the Theatre Royal.

When you enter Colosseo, our attentive staff is waiting to ensure every moment at your table is filled with delightful flavours, laughter, and the warmth of Italian hospitality. Whether it's a special celebration, a romantic dinner, or a casual gathering with friends, Colosseo is more than just a meal – it's a journey to the essence of Italian culture.

Had a wonderful lunch at Colosseo. Were welcomed by a lovely waitress and the manager Salvatorie. Had seafood linguine and and prawn and scallop pasta. Both were delicious with lots of plump juicy prawns. The atmosphere was great with Salvatorie chatting with all the diners. Had a Limonchella on the house after we paid the bill. Will be back.

About the restaurant
We get excited when it comes to food. Head Chef Joe, and his team, source only the finest local ingredients. Bringing together gastropub classics and a traditional open fireplace – our bistro-bar is the perfect recipe for a satisfying supper. Or join us in our restaurant. Overlooking the beautiful garden, it’s the ideal place for that special occasion.

Our mouth-watering seasonal menus are complimented by a stunning selection of wines. In summer, why not head outdoors for dinner. Sample a bubbling, stone-baked pizza, fresh from our authentic wood fired oven. It’s the kind of food that makes warm evenings magical. Especially served with a locally brewed, ice cold cider.

We cater for all, so let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements. If you love food like we do, book now or give us a call.

About the restaurant
We want to raise awareness of the vast network of local producers and winemakers whose lives and livelihoods revolve around the treasures of the table, so we’ve thrown out our regular menu to pay homage to the culinary treasures that exist throughout Greece.
The sharing of food and conversation is a human ritual as old as time.
Meze is the ultimate expression of this passion. In the old times in Greece, the offer of numerous small selected dishes was a sign of generous hospitality. We hope you will enjoy ours…

Our afternoon tea was fantastic overall and very good value. The ambience score wasn’t really your fault at all, there was just another couple being very loud and invading on other experiences for a couple of hours which was distracting to try and relax from. Low down chairs in the drawing room were uncomfortable for that amount of time but overall a great experience!
