Customer Review Summary
Pasta and pizza draw the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling the pizza a standout and the gnocchi and lamb ragu among the mains singled out as favorites, while the tiramisu also gets consistent mentions with its chocolate topping noted as a highlight. Service is described as friendly and accommodating, with staff fitting in walk-ins on busy nights and one diner praising a particular server's attentiveness. Close behind the praise sits a recurring gripe over the beef shin lasagne, several reviewers flagging its portion size as too small for the price and one calling the plating poor despite good flavour. Cleanliness lapses come up too, with one reviewer describing a dirty outdoor table, cutlery set without napkins, and a dirty water glass. Another notes plates being cleared before everyone finished eating. Despite these complaints, most reviewers say they'd return, one recounting being welcomed in without a reservation and seated with young children on a packed Saturday night.

“Great vegetarian food options! Everything was fresh and delicious. Great wine too and lovely service and atmosphere. I especially enjoyed the aubergine , caccio e pepper and the tiramisu!”

“Me and my friends were looking for an Italian place to have lunch. Found ourselves in Pazzo, where we have not been to before. We were greeted nicely by a gentleman. We chose to sit outside. The outdoor table wasn’t the cleanest. The waiter brought over our cutlery and set it on the dirty table not on napkins. We also asked for table water and I was given a dirty glass. My friends ordered pizzas. 10/10 would definitely recommend their pizza’s. I ordered Beef shin lasagna for £20. I do not think it is worth the 20, because of the portion size and it was decent lasagna. I would’ve expected it to taste different for the price. I understand the meat can be expensive. I also did not expect them to have a small menu.”

“We were visiting Bristol for the weekend and on ringing up trying to find somewhere to eat that same night, the staff were so accommodating and fitted us in (me, my husband and two young children) despite it being a busy Saturday night. …”

“After a long drive to Bristol with two kids, we were so grateful to be welcomed in, no reservation, and seated despite how busy it was. The atmosphere was buzzing, there was a generous wine list and the service was excellent: really friendly and attentive. The pizzas were delicious and the pasta was absolutely perfect👌🏽 clean plates all round. We’ll definitely be back 🙏🏽”

“An amazing Valentine's Day meal, couldn't have asked for any better. The food was a 10/10 and James was incredibly attentive and friendly. And to top it off, their Gnocchi was cooked to perfection!”
