About Moltobuono!

Moltobuono! is an Italian restaurant in Bristol at 59 Park St, where the whole menu is vegan, dessert included, so vegan diners can order across every section. Pizza and pasta anchor the kitchen, with the pasta made in house and a gluten-free base available for the pizzas. A no-tomato pizza sits among the options, alongside a vegan pizza. Dessert leans on pistachio, with pistachio ice cream and pistachio cannoli. The restaurant spreads across two levels, and reservations are required. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary

Pasta is what reviewers return to most, with the beef Genovese, the ragu and the pesto pasta all singled out, and several calling it the best pasta they have had. Close behind are the pizzas, including a sausage and red onion pizza and a vegan pizza, plus desserts such as vegan pistachio ice cream. The vegan menu and gluten-free pizza bases come up repeatedly, with one family saying a gluten-free vegan diner was fully catered for. Staff are described as friendly and accommodating, including with a baby. The caveats are specific. One group of eight found the pizza crust too big, the toppings sparse and the pizza hard to cut, and thought the pasta portions a little small. Another reviewer said the pistachio cannoli tasted like leftover fryer oil, though they would still return for different pasta dishes. One diner who arrived just before the kitchen closed was still served, and a reviewer who booked ahead avoided a wait at the lunchtime rush.

    “I had a very tasty ragu and a glass of Chianti Riserva here for lunch. Both were quite nice. Sadly the pistachio cannoli I had for dessert tasted like leftover fryer oil. I was quite shocked at that. I would come back, though, and order different pasta dishes!”

    “Absolutely fantastic experience at Moltobuono! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The vegan pizza was simply delicious – full of flavour, beautifully prepared and incredibly satisfying! And the vegan pistachio ice cream was an absolute dream – wonderfully creamy, rich and bursting with pistachio flavour. Such a lovely treat! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent. It's so refreshing to find a place that offers such delicious vegan options without compromising on taste or quality. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommended, especially for anyone who appreciates great food, vegan or not! Can't wait to return! ❤️🍕🍨”

    “The bestie and I (both foodies) drove equal parts from our homes in Cheltenham and Somerset, to meet in Bristol (old stomping ground and midway) for lunch on Saturday. The atmosphere was a great vibe with a mix of guests of all walks of life, clearly enjoying themselves. The service was superb! We chose one of the recommended specials (which was phenomenal) and couldn't help but indulge in the dessert options before going about our day. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu, kind and welcoming - genuinely happy to be working which is a huge buzz when going out to a restaurant. It was a sunny day and the outside Park Street tables were full, giving a wonderful atmosphere. We booked ahead, so arrived just as the lunchtime rush started to fill the restaurant, avoiding a wait. As someone that lived in Bristol and is happy to travel to for good food, I highly recommend for authentic, well portioned and delectable Italian cuisine! Short or jumping on a flight to Italy 🇮🇹 you won't beat Moltobuono! Bonus points for being able to make all pizza Gluten Free, when my Boyfriend is with me (as a coeliac) this is a huge bonus - many restaurants can't offer this.”

    “What can I say? We were truly floored by the exceptional service shown to us this weekend at Moltobuono. It wasn't just the food that impressed us; it was also the attentiveness, friendliness and hard-working attitude of each waiter and waitress present. You will be hard pressed to find a better Italian restaurant in the area. The pizza, pastas, and desserts that we tried were nothing short of spectacular. Even their house salad had a special touch and was packed with flavor. I was particularly impressed with Maurizio and Hania, as they were kind and charming - I just had to ask for their names to add to the review! That should tell you everything you need to know. There are a lot of Italian restaurants in the area, and we had a hard time making a selection, but we 100% made the right choice. If you're after authentic Italian cuisine with great service, don't book anywhere else. We can't wait to come again on our next visit to Bristol.”

    “Food and service were incredible, just happened to walk past the place and ended up having some of the best pasta of my life. Whole family loved it and catered for a GF Vegan! Next time I’m in Bristol I will be running back here.”
