I mean just legendary Italian experience! Just enjoy the show! Make sure to have some house pickles and olives to start and finish off with limoncello ❤️

Really good pizza. I came with my wife who is a coeliac, and though it's not advertised very well, they do a very good gluten-free base that is the same size as a 'normal' pizza. Definitely recommend if you have dietary requirements!

Wow, these pizza’s are SO TASTY!!! And there was a great selection of different pizzas and nibbles to choose from. The service from Max was wonderful, even through this heatwave he always had a smile on his face. Would highly recommend this little gem when in Bristol. Will definitely be returning. Don’t forget to try the tiramisu too!

The service is caring and makes sure your needs are met! Never been happier with a pizza (adding more salt pepper and garlic oil really elevated it for an extra umami kick)! The place is simply decorated and feels relaxed. Will come back for the tiramisu.

Really really good pizza! I love the different options and the base is truly like a napolitan pizza. We tried starter with lardon (basically cured fat) it was so so good!!! Kids option available too, my son demolished his margarita
