Bardolino Bristol Frost Hill, Bristol BS49 5AD

"Staying in the hotel beside This place didn’t get try the food as we arrived at an almost empty restaurant with party of 8 they turned us away as the chef said no. Think it’s time you employed a chef who can multi task instead of what ever chef is in there. We hiked a few elderly members of the family all the way down there thinong isn’t the doe we where spending with the family wedding that there would not be an issue. Also my nephew Tony has a disability and could hardly make it up the steps but we got him carted up there and Tony cried cos he really wanted Marco Pierre’s finest pizza really ruined his whole weekend this is Tony in the pic his nickname is handy Tony"

"Huge fan of MPW for many years and always will be but... and maybe my expectations were too high ... but had a disappointing experience. Young staff did their best but the quality of food served up was poor and bland. I had traditional Italian meatballs with garlic bread. Before looking at the photos, picture in your mind what you might hope to get ..."

"Came here as I was gifted a Groupon for the Italian afternoon tea at the Bardolino. We came in on a on Saturday afternoon 3.30pm. There were a few tables free at this time. We could pick our own table but it wasn't easy as every table had a dead/limp basil plant on it. We were presented 2x glasses of Prosecco that came free with the experience - one was clearly the end of the bottle (flat) whereas the other was fresh & sparkling. Then the food itself. The mini burgers & sweet potato fries were lovely. The rest just wasn’t our taste at all - chewy and fatty cold meat wrapped around slimy/mushed avocado, olives, tomatoes & garlic on toast and cold salmon / mayo / cucumber on toast. We left some of it. There were 3x mini desserts - a couple of squares of chocolate brownie, half a lemon tart each & I think it was a coffee tiramisu, but can’t be sure. They were fine. If you’ve been brought this as a gift then you may as well use it, but please do not purchase this for yourself as it is absolutely not worth £25 (which I think was a special offer on Groupon, it’s usually listed as £36….!!). In fact, don’t purchase it as a gift for anyone or yourself! We’ve included a pic of the menu with this review & you could have had 2x main hot meals for that cost. The vibe was a little weird there as well as the double doors to the spa opened out into the restaurant so be prepared to see people in their dressing gowns walking about. Not for us."

"Booked this restaurant as we were staying in the hotel next door. Menu wasn’t as broad as I thought it would be but lovely options. As we arrived, we were greeted and shown to our table out on the balcony (absolutely stunning views!). The gentleman that was serving us was the friendliest person, he was so welcoming and attentive. He talked us through the menu and was very prompt and efficient with serving. He even gave us a lot of recommendations of local beaches and where to go, what there is to do around the area etc which was so nice as we didn’t even get that from the hotel! We ordered starters & mains and each other was as delicious as the next! Cannot fault the food at all and the Prosecco was lovely too. I tried carbonara which I would highly recommend (although I couldn’t finish it as it was a generous portion). Overall, customer service was fabulous and the food was exquisite. I would highly recommend this restaurant."
