The whole experience at Magari was fantastic! The staff are so friendly and helpful, the decor is simple but charming and the food is absolutely perfect!! The portions are fairly modest but as most of the dishes are pretty rich, it works … More well! We got starters, main, dessert and drinks for 4 people for £100!! The sausage ragu pasta was the star of the show for us! Thanks Magari!

This is a small pasta place with a big reputation that is truly well earned! The indoor dining area is quite small only having a few tables and if you wish to avoid sitting outside booking is practically essential. The service was fast … More and friendly with the kitchen right next to the dining area so the smells from the food being prepared fill the air. We started with the burrata that was delicious with its creamy mozzarella and flavourful sun-dried tomatos, we highly recommend getting the extra sourdough which acts as a perfect edible delivery system for the dish. Then the pasta, actually faultless, generous portions, perfectly cooked and packed with amazing flavour! For the prices they charge, this spot is incredible quality for the money and we highly recommend checking it out!

Previously rated it 5 star but after our recent visit had to reduce it down to 2 unfortunately. On our recent visit we started by ordering specifically stating “3 of the lunch deals please” however on the bill arriving they only did 2 of … More the dishes on the deal, and when questioned she said it’s because one of the ones we chose was a special and they weren’t included and did say “in the small print on the back” had we have known we would have adjusted our order, as we said to begin with that we were doing 3 of the lunch deals, but they were happy to not mention anything until the bill came at the end. At which point nothing was done about it either. While the food is good, it was a little quiet so I can’t help but feel it was a bit of a purposeful scam to try and make more money on a quiet lunch service. Disappointed and won’t be returning anytime soon.

You cannot beat the £10 lunch deal. The value for money is astonishing. Freshly made pasta and quality ingredients cooked simply to produce great flavours. Staff are wonderful and the vibe is always good. Need I say more?The best around. … More

Is the £10 lunch deal at Magari one of Bristol’s best? I certainly think so. Your options are:Pasta & a soft drink £10 Pasta & a glass of wine £12.50 Pasta & a tiramisu £12.50You can chose any of the house sauces (not the specials), … More and the kitchen will chose which pasta it’s served with dependent on what’s available. The pasta is made fresh each morning with the finest CackleBean Eggs and you’ll find local suppliers honoured too with the sausage meat in the ragu from Ruby & White and the coffee in the tiramisu from Odd Kin.Speaking of that tiramisu…I hadn’t had one in years before trying the Magari version - as someone who doesn’t like coffee I’ve never been fussed - but it was a hot day, and the only thing I fancied to drink was water so I thought I’d try the dessert deal… It was beautiful! Absolutely delicious, gave me a full on pick up and a spring in my step and I even tried calling my Italian bestie afterwards to tell her how good it wasThe deal is available weekdays at both their Bristol and Bath restaurants until 3pm, and in my opinion is one of the best value lunches around. If I’d opted for a soft drink they had my favourite - San Pellegrino orange And if the sun is shining their Wapping Wharf site has a beautiful terrace (worth noting tables can only be reserved inside though) for people watching.I went solo and staff were lovely, didn’t bat an eyelid and I was super comfortable. Highly recommend.

We had a great lunch yesterday. Great taste, superbly presented and served by the excellent team at Magari. The food was so good that we finished it before thinking about photos! We did get one of the tiramisu that we had to eat as a consequence … More
-
Great food but poor service. The pasta is really delicious and totally value for money. However the staff is quite stressed and somehow forgot which dishes go to which tables. A bit disappointed about the experience. Overall the food is … More awesome.
-
Ordered the carbonara, drinks, and tiramisu. While the food was lovely the portion sizes were tiny. Tiramisu was gone within 3 bites. The location is actually the inside of a crate container so is quite small, would recommend booking a … More table if you want to sit in.

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!
-
Delicious meal with affordable prices! Would definitely come again as it was very tasty and such a cute place to eat. The decor was very aesthetic and pleasing to the eye. Loved it!
-
We visited here after a recommendation. My boys really enjoyed itthe staff were lovely, but we did have to wait a little for our food. We didn't mind that so much as they were busy, and we just entertained ourselves while we were … More waiting. The food was really tasy, I especially loved the bruschetta, the live oil was soo good
-
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 🙂
-
Good pasta with very good sauces. Sometime the pasta can be a little overcooked (I came here a few times) but that doesn’t ruin the overall taste and experience. Ragù and anchovies are always the best.
-
The most delicious pasta ever! Portions were a great size and the bruschetta was delicious.Lovely reserved spot by the docks and cosy seating indoors along with sheltered seating outside also.Highly recommended!!
-
Absolutely smashed it out the ball park, best carbonara I’ve ever had, so creamy, amazing guanciale, so delicious. My friends had an amazing ragu, and we all tried their delicious spritzes. Amazing service from front of house and absolute … More compliments to the chef.
-
The food was absolutely incredible. We had starters and mains and honestly I can say this was way beyond expectations. Very happy 😉
-
came for dinner this evening as I’ve been wanting to try Magari for a while now and was very impressed! Had the burrata to start and we had the sausage ragu, pesto pasta and carbonara for main. All of them were delightful, the pasta was … More al dente and you could tell it was homemade. Finished off with a tiramisu which was equally as delicious. Would defo return!

I ordered the magari pesto and it was really yummy. I … More also haf a bite of the carbonara and ragu, both as delicious! Thank yoü

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.

Highly recommend this small place for any pasta lovers, Food was Really good freshly made pasta. Service was so good and quick. As i remember we were served by Chloe,

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 !!!!
-
This was up there with one of the best Italian meals I’ve had. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The food was so tasty and really big portion sizes for really reasonable prices. I recommend the sun dried tomato bruschetta and the … More sausage ragu!
-
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?
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
