    Magari is my favourite restaurant in Bristol! Really great value for money and exceptional food quality. I’ve been here 7 times and I get blown away by the pastas every visit. The atmosphere is also wonderful, good music and really friendly … More staff. A no-frills, good ingredients cooked well restaurant. I’d reccomend Magari for any celebration, date, or casual meal with friends. Every single person i’ve been here with always finds it a very memorable experience and is very impressed by the food!

    Really good and fresh pasta. Good sauce. Very value for money as well. The service was also very speedy and attentive. The house lemonade was not that good, a bit on the bland side. But we were there for the pasta, which exceeded our expectations, … More so we left happy 🙂

    My friend and I have been wanting to try this place for a long time, and we are so glad that we did! It’s a small, intimate and warm environment with kind and welcoming staff! They’ve got an amazing selection, and even have such a good … More lunch deal at the moment - homemade pasta, good drinks and vibe = what more could you ask for?

    I very rarely leave reviews, but this little beauty of a restaurant SO deserves one.The welcome was friendly and warm, the atmosphere ‘vibrant’ and the food really delicious.We were a family of 5, two adults and three teenagers, all with … More quite varied tastes. Everyone really enjoyed the food and experience, we sampled three courses and took advantage of the lunch time specials.Everything was fresh, homemade and ‘wholesome’.In a world of fast-food and busy, it was a joy to go back to basics - basic ingredients, cooked well and served in a kind/friendly way.Top marks !!!!

    Small place but nicely decorated. Recommended to book as it gets busy. The pasta was delicious ( I tried both the ragú and the Alici). The food is cooked fresh. The deals make it so that a plate and a drink amount to £10 which is an excellent … More value for money. The homemade lemonade was also delicious and I recommend.

    Such a great place!! Me and my mum came here for lunch and sat outside, though the tables inside looked lovely and cozy as well.We shared three pastas between us and they were all incredible. I am already dying to come back and try the … More rest of the menu (and the tiramisu!)The service was amazing and so friendly (I believe his name was Anthony!). Super accommodating when we were running a bit late and just really lovely, helpful and cheerful.Will be back!!!

    Amazing bruschetta and pasta. Both tasted fresh and delicious. Also appreciated the free birthday tiramisu, thank you!
  • Avatar Benchmarked ★★★★★ 5 months ago
    Food was delicious, from the pasta to the tiramisu (and I'm not even a big fan of coffee).It's a lovely little gem and the staff were friendly. I do recommend making a reservation ahead of time, since many people were turned away … More while I was eating.

    This was our third time at Magari and we just love it! The food was incredibly as always, and the time taken by Sam to talk us through the dishes made the experience so special. Thank you to Sam and Tasha for a fantastic meal!

    One of the nicest meals I have probably ever had! I love that the menu is small, and it’s so well priced meaning you can enjoy 2/3 courses which we did! Definitely recommend and I will be bringing everyone I know here!

    The weekday set pasta lunch was a good value for money meal. The service was impeccable and the pasta was delicious with a decent portion to fill up the stomach. The bruschetta starter was a great way to start the meal.
  • Avatar Ceara Coleman ★★★★★ 7 months ago
    This might be the best pasta I have had. I recently moved to Bristol from Norwich where we had an amazing go-to pasta restaurant. I think it’s safe to say we have found our replacement pasta spot in Bristol. I had the pomodoro and it was … More perfect. I’m not usually a fan of tiramisu but that was also delightful as was the bruschetta. Thanks for a lovely meal 🙂

    I stopped for dinner at Magari whilst visiting Bristol. Although it was nice and very well priced, I did find the portion a little small and service was somewhat rushed.The pasta itself was very tasty and always scores extra marks when … More it’s homemade - and the sauce had a great depth of flavour.The restaurant was very small but had a nice atmosphere, and was clearly popular with take away orders too. Overall, it was a nice spot for some delicious pasta.

    A breath of fresh air for Bristol. An amazing space, great service, and affordable good food.While the ragú was somewhat underwhelming, due to a lack of flavour and sauce, their Amatriciana packed a punch, even if the pasta could have done … More with an extra minute or two of cooking. Great spot for couples and small groups (max 3). Will definitely be returning.
