  “Went to this cafe for the first time. The person at counter was really friendly (forgot to ask name) and he recommended the cannoli which was really tasty. The coffee was good. Good place to relax and enjoy coffee not too busy.”

  “Popped in today for a light lunch with a friend and it was absolutely wonderful! We dined in and wanted to share an arancini and a sandwich between us and the amazing gentleman prepared the dishes already halved on plates for us which was such a kind gesture, he added some wonderful sauce, a little side salad and some pecorino on top and it was an absolutely fantastic feast! The portions are fantastic and the price is brilliant! Both the sandwich and arancini came to £14 which is fantastic for two meals that left us plenty full! We will definitely come back to try more options! Sandwich:Salami, Chorizo, Mozzarella Arancini: salami, Chorizo, Bolognaise”

  “My Wife and I live nearby and have eaten here on many occasions in the last few years. The food is delicious, handmade and with good ingredients. We love the fresh, handmade pasta dishes the most but often have pizza too, and we've always had a good experience. The owner is very friendly and we enjoy spending time there. I often pop in if I just want a coffee which is excellent and I see regulars in there enjoying the coffee too.”

  “For a small place this cafe_bistro is fabulous. Had the avocado breakfast and goats cheese/sun-dried tomato sandwich with some great coffee. Definitely coming back for the pizza, pasta and arancini. Sadly too full to try the cannoli but they looked amazing.”

  “A great find in South Bristol. It is a friendly venue with a specialism in Italian food. As well as the arancini, I can recommend the cannoli, especially the lemon and salted caramel.”

  “The owner was an incredibly friendly and welcoming (and handsome lol) host, my panciotti was the best pasta I have ever had, he offered me fresh bread (I already ate one oops) that I could dip in the sauce and it was beautiful 😍 you can also add any toppings just ask x …”

  “Food and coffee was excellent and service even better! Madi is an amazing friendly host. We had a pistacchio arrancini and aroma’s pizza. Also real good Sicilian coffee. All that at affordable price. Would highly recommend! Thanks Madi”

  “Was suggested to us as they make gluten free pizza. Got the last bit of gluten free dough for our grandson who is ceoliac. Arranchi for us which was amazing. Excellent lattes and a babychino. Service was great too. Definately recommend to anyone gluten free.”

  “I came to try Zena's for the first time on the weekend as I'd heard nothing but good things. We ordered Lasagna, Spaghetti Al Ragu, Panciotti and a meat filled Arancini. It was DELICIOUS, everything was fresh and tasted super authentic - the owner was very attentive and considerate. Special mention to the bread which was probably the best I've ever had - I think he used pizza dough, divine and I could've eaten a basket by itself. They have cannolis imported from Italy, desserts, coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner menus and it's a really nice and cozy spot that doesn't appear to get overly busy. 100% recommend!”
