50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bristol

“For starters the feeling when you go in felt like going to have a meal at a family house . The elderly woman at the register felt like my grandma was asking us what we wanted to eat , she was very sweet . The mozzarella sticks were delicious everything was fresh and the cannolis were literally to die for !!! The Sicilian sandwhich was great as well“

“Good food, reasonable prices.First few times I ordered for delivery, it was during "peak" hours (noon, 5:00) so I expected to wait about 30 - 45 minutes. My shortest wait time, 55 minutes. My longest, almost 80 minutes! Next few times, I ordered during "off" hours (3:30, 8:00) expecting a much shorter wait.Still took about an hour.Bottom line, if you're ordering for delivery, place your order an hour before you want to eat.4/5“

“Amazing food and lively atmosphere! My date and I had the margherita and proscuitto hot honey pies and they were to die for! Drinks were perfectly made and the lavender lemon creme bruele was the perfect finishing touch. We didn't have to wait long for our order to come out either. Only complaint was that there was a group celebrating someone's birthday so it got way too loud, otherwise it was a perfect evening.“

“My mom and I have been ordering here a lot lately and I’ve been making my rounds on the menu and I gotta say the steak sandwiches wether beef or chicken is out of this world amazing and I will not be ordering out from anywhere else l! So glad we found you! Next to try is a Stromboli so that will be thrilling!“

“Driving up this place isn't grand, I tell ya that.But you go inside and you're greeted by the chefs and the house staff.Going inside, you can see it's a family joint. I sat a few tables next to someone who was eating for free because they won the meal from a radio show !I ordered the classic tomatoe pie. BOY OH BOY , it's delicious, the sauce is not too sweet nor too tangy. Crust is thin and crispy but strong enough that it doesn't flop. (Good under carriage).I recommend coming here with a few of your buds and getting some pies !“

“It was busy....we made reservations for 430.......the service was great..we were not in a rush...the clams casino and the scallops goergine....were fabulous...salad...very important..old school...the salad was cold and fresh....all restaurant people take head..pay attention...the salad was not dressed 3 hours prior and warm....anyway..I had the broiled seafood..which was definitely wild caught shrimp....not farm raised...I loved the portions of stuffed flounder.....I cant believe this is an old school restaurant....with old school food....and“

“My lodge has been ordering pizza from this shop for years. Staff are always friendly and the pizza is great too! They really go the extra mile for us when it comes to scheduling deliveries. We often order and pay a few hours earlier and they deliver right on time, every time.Last night, our caterer had a mishap and we needed 6 pies in a hurry. The folks at the shop took care of us extremely quickly, even with such short notice.Great people!“

“So this place has a great atmosphere, very good food, and the service is very friendly. I will definitely be back with some friends. The only issue was that it took a very long time to be served and to receive our food. It was a Sunday evening, so I do expect to wait, but it was an hour and 10 minutes from us sitting down to receiving our meal. It was also 20 minutes from us sitting down to receiving our drinks. I know these guys are busy because their food is very good, but it’s just a very long time to wait when you go out for dinner.Like I said, I will be back because the food was great and hopefully this was just an off night.“

“Quality and authentic Italian food with an amazing and attentive staff that treats you like family. We had a delicious large family meal this evening - Roasted Red Peppers & Mozzarella, Eggplant rollatini, Caesar salad, calamari, Fusilli alla Polpa Di Granchio, Rigatoni alla Vodka, Pollo ai Limone, Veal ai Limone, Tiramisu and Cannoli. We are an Italian family and our standards are high - this place ticks all the boxes. If you haven’t tried this restaurant, go, because if you don’t then you’re missing out!“

“Enjoyed my first lunch here so much came back a second day. This is a charming intimate and sweet Italian restaurant with attentive and friendly staff. Felt so welcomed and cared for. The lunch menu has great options and it is cooked to perfection. The bread is exceptional. The past is homemade and fresh. They are located in historic Bordentown on Main Street. The dinner menu is more expansive and looks fantastic. They do not serve alcohol so it is BYOB. The mussels were wonderful! Highly recommended!“

“Went for a bite for dinner. Caesar made a special appetizer pizza at our request. Wonderful thin crust, EVO, pesto, fresh mozzarella and balsamic glaze. Wonderful BYOB family restaurant! Ceasar and his family are very accommodating and serve a terrific meal! I have all three meals breakfast, lunch and a dinner with all being delicious.“

“Me and my coworkers almost always order from perfettos and we've honestly had nothing but good experiences. The staff is polite and the food is always good. I've even been able to put in large orders at the last minute and they've always come through!“

“The white cheesesteak pizza is our Friday night staple. My kids told me to write that it is slammin. Honestly though, you guys are killing it. Quality food, great service and an overall great spot. Glad to see you so busy on a Friday night ❤️“

“This seems to be the place for fine dining in the area and is deservedly is so. Elegant though relaxed Italian restaurant, one of three by this owner in the area. This an upscale experience from the moment you end. The staff are warm, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. They offer great suggestions from the impressive menu. They know their wine pairing as well. The prices are quite fair for a place of this caliber. We ordered their famous 16 ounce bone in filet mignon, it was amazing. Everything here was great.The place was bustling even on a weeknight. It would fit any occasion to friend gathering to romantic dinners! Parking is on the street and was easy to find. Reservations are best. The bar is impressive.“

“Staying on town for work and decided to check this place out for dinner . Place is kept spotless very clean and fresh. Had a Veal parmeson with angel hair pasta and a salad. Walked back to the hotel in the cold rain and food was still piping hot when I got there . I will definitely eat there more when I'm in town food was excellent. Prise was fair definitely get your money's worth.“

“Meglio’s is a place that my coworkers and I order from frequently and now my family enjoys it as well. It is well run and organized with delicious food. Joe provides a positive and upbeat experience, start to finish along with the entire staff. When you’re there you feel like family. Their hospitality is amazing! I cannot recommend Meglio’s enough!“

“First: it’s a BYOB! But they are very flexible and accommodating about glasses, regardless of what type is needed. Staff works hard and is very responsive and patient. As for the food- great to excellent. I had the Cod/brocollini special in a red sauce (it could have alhad a bit more spice) , cavatelli and ricotta cheese, pasta with crab meat and shrimp, chicken parm (not on menu but Legit)- great selection and flavors.“

“My husband & I love Carollas. The owner is so kind & friendly, his staff is super efficient & the food is superb. The outdoor seating is under cover in the cooler months with heaters if needed. Such a pleasure to have a great restaurant so close to home! I highly recommend!!Parking: Parking is available behind the restaurant“

“First....the menu is HUGEEEE. but it's ALL AMAZING. I live an hour away but will no doubt be driving back there for more food. If you're ever near bensalem....even if your not, you need to go here. Damn good cheesesteak.....I got the Fanky Cheech with extra long hots ? it was amazing. The service is super friendly .... unsuspecting from the outside but it's a real gem ?“

“Pirone's has a dining room with a simple and beautiful aesthetic. It makes you feel comfortable and unrushed. The food is consistently good, but not earth shaking. However, I believe they offer one of the best dining experiences around. I enjoy interacting with their staff - whether dining in or taking out. It's a pleasant and leisurely experience, especially after dealing with our rushed lives.“

“Tre Fratelli is an Italian BYOB. The food is always outstanding and so is the service. We go there at least once a month with our friends. It can get noisy but that just means everyone is having a great time. There is a "back" room for large parties and we have used that room several times over the past 3-4 years. The prices are very reasonable and there are several different items from which to choose, including pizza, stromboli and calzone. If you're looking for a really good food at really reasonable prices, Tre Fratelli should be on your list of places to go!“

“Accidently found this place while traveling for work and am glad I did. I have been known to spend $40.00 just in tolls to get to my favorite pizza place, so obviously, pizza is very dear to my heart. Pizza Pie 2 is right up there with places I would drive to for some tasty pies.Very nice size portions and excellent, personal service just adds to the experience. I live 100 miles from here. The only thing that would improve my experience would be if they opened another resturaunt around the corner from where I live. If you are in the mood for a positive experience while dining out, give this place a try. You wont be disapointed.“

“We had a lunch for about 40 people after our elopement and everything went amazing! Food was great we had mixed flatbreads, penne vodka, chicken parm, and filet mignon. Everything tasted amazing and all of our guests agreed. The staff really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding day. We could not have asked for anything more.“

“We live in the area and have been here several times. Probably the best vodka rigatoni I’ve ever had. My husband has frequently been disappointed in his meals. The steak always seems to be undercooked and certain dishes lack seasoning and flavor for his liking. I always order the vodka rigatoni so I’m never disappointed it’s literally the best!! Cozy atmosphere too.“

“We are so happy we came to Mamma Mia for my son’s birthday. The staff treated us like family and all sang happy birthday to him. It was a very special night because of them. The food was delicious, starting with the warm bread. We would recommend to anyone visiting the area!“

“Best pizza around. Coming from NYC, I'm so happy to have found Anthony's pizza. The dough is perfect with the right amount of chew. The sauce is the perfect balance of salt, spice, and flavor. The coal fire bakes the pizza perfectly and gives it a nice toasty taste.“

“Located in a small strip mall you would never guess what a top notch restaurant this is from the outside. Owner is very involved and readily accessible, ambiance is outstanding, and service staff are attentive and professional. Food is out of this world and the menu offers everything you could want! I would highly recommend this hidden gem for some of the best Italian food in our area. I have been to some of the best Italian restaurants of this kind in Philadelphia and New York - Non Solo Pasta is definitely a contender!“

“As usual, food and service were wonderful. Michael , who wasn't our server this time , but was repeatedly our server over the past 5 yr..... stopped by to say hello and to see how everything was. We were having the egg plant rolatini...he saw that and said “you have to try that with our vodka sauce! So, he went to kitchen and got us some! It was superb! Michael always goes above and beyond. Marcello's is a gem! Thank you! Ciao!“

“Simple and easy. I was in and out. Love their Italian hoagies but felt like a hot dog, just plain with sauted onions. I used to go to wawa, but they never have any available. Once I found they have them, I don't waste my time trying wawa anymore. Hoagies are a good size, so we share them. But this time, I was happy to get my tasty hot dog.“

“Had a wonderful time celebrating my friends birthday at this establishment. There was also another celebration going on, so the rent rooms for special occasions. The food was so good. The staff brought out complimentary tomato bread which was delish. The service was wonderful, and the seating was nice. Now the food....it was so hard to choose all the choices read good. I decided on the Saporita, so good !!! It's also BYOB which is always nice. I definitely recommend this place.“

“It seems like a nice Italian Deli with what seems to be quality products. I went there for the first time to find those big martini olives. They have the right size olives but I bought the ones in the cold display case which still have the pits in them ?.There was a customer already there who was friendly and made it a welcoming experience. The employees were...well...working...so no warm greeting.Since the place was recommended by a few folks, I ordered a Tonno Tuna sandwhich. It contained VERY little tuna. For $10.95 I guess I was expecting at least half a can of tuna on it.I guess WaWa and Gaetano 's have my expectations too high ?. The hoagie roll was fresh and tasty so next time ( yup, next time) I'll grab the pre-made stuff.Overall not disappointed but now with a different mindset.“

“I had a pasta fagioli soup, and it was served nice and hot. Tasted well and hearty. Also, order cheeseburger deluxe, it was a pretty thick burger. The taste was great. Cheesesteak and chicken Cheesesteak was chopped fine, and the flavor was good. I would eat here again.“

“At last! My Vauxhall, Newark & North Jersey roots! The best google search was today when I found D’s! D your’re family! Your Italian hotdogs sizzle hot brother! Please support this brother! The food is sourced fresh and prepared with love and perfection for you!!! Me! Everyone! D also have that Cooper Pastrami without all that greasiness Coopers served! Yesss!“

“My family and I went to Acqua e Farina for the first time this afternoon to have a nice lunch to celebrate my Mom’s birthday. The brick oven pizzas that we had were delicious and the server was friendly. I highly recommend the restaurant and look forward to going back soon!“

“Great location for the family to dine. Kids can always find a meal or appetizer they willl enjoy. Love the special. Bartenders make great drinks and the desserts are delicious. Call ahead for reservations or you cab wait and typically not a long wait. Can get loud in the dinning rooms“

“I've been going to Sal's Original's Italian Pizzeria since 1981, for awhile I pretty much ate there everyday, sometimes twice a day. Sal and his brother were the best. Haven't been there since 2014. I need to drive down there this month. Lol“

“We just had my daughters graduation party catered from Francesco’s! All our guest raved about the food including the cannolis!! The food was delivered hot and exactly on time. It was perfect and highly recommend to make such a busy day less stressful. Thank you!!“

“Been going to this Great pizza shop since i could walk. It WAS the BEST. The Family who owned it for 52 years was the BEST. Sal's daughters ran the place so smoothly, they will be missed. Not a huge fan of the changes this place has made to my hometown shop. I was there so much i felt that it was my second kitchen. Michelle and Josephine thank you for being such pros for so long, and making the town that much better and cooler with your presence. Pizza fridays wont be the same as these new guys already started taking the main ingredient out of the food, the LOVE. Equal parts LOVE sauce and cheese. God knows the wings were the greatest ever as were the ladies running the show.“

“This place is awesome! Great pizza and very good priced specials. I saw the specials after I ordered my pizza, which was phenomenal by the way, and I thought to myself yeah I gotta come back for these specials some time soon. The place has cool old school vibe to it as well. It's like one of the old pizzas places or sub shops you used to go when you were younger but you can't find them anymore. It's like a time capsule pizza place, in a good way of course!“

“We haven't been here since before Covid, so we were eager to see how they were doing. The answer is great! Attentive service, great food. We had several pizzas and my son had spaghetti and meatballs. Food came out quickly. It was a Friday, and they had someone there playing guitar music. It really is a nice little place, full of atmosphere, and attentive staff. We'd definitely come back.“

“Being a transplant from northern Jersey I have been hunting for 17 years for a great Brooklyn pie in the area. I've finally found it! Then there's the polenta, omg! You don't see that on many menus so I had to get it. It is simply outstanding!“

“I was able to order the night before. They called me back and followed up with me in the morning. They delivered everything including plates and cups and napkins, directly to crusader paintball right in time for the party. ? great food and great service.“

“First time getting the 1 large pizza 20 boneless sweet and spicy wings and a 2 liter for jus under 30$ is great and food was anazing!! Been looking around for a good pizza place finally found it!!Kid-friendliness: Didn't make a fuss or problem for wanting the pie cut into 16ths instead of 8ths for the kids other places I've called have hung up on me for requesting the same thing which is crazy to me“

“I order pickup from here often. Amazing pizza and wings! I always want to order something else, but those things are just too good, I talk myself out of it every time. Consistently tasty. Always ready when they say it will be. Order has never been wrong. Prices are the lowest you'll find. Nothing bad to say. What more do you need to know?“

“The Best Pizza And All The Food Is A+ ?. The Place Is Always Busy. ICome From Hamilton 2 Ewing Just 2 Get Me A Cheese steak And A Couple Slices. Remind Me Of The Boadwalk Pizza @ Seaside.The Staff R ?. 1 Mo Thing, U Better Order B4 U GO There! OK I'm Out! ??“

“We've ordered from here about four times. The food is plentiful, hot and delisioso!! Gave them a pass twice for timeliness of delivery, but well worth the wait. It's now our new 'go to' place after a neighborhood favorite retired and sold their spot and another fav spot moved. Smack your lips GREAT FOOD and standard with plenty of leftovers! Get you some...and some more!“

“Food is so good. Just tried this place for the first time last week and have ordered 3 times since then. Have had pizza, breaded chicken hoagie, bello Anthony sandwich (110% delicious seeded melt in your mouth roll and fresh mozzarella) and antipasto salad. All delicious. Will order again for sure.“

“My husband and I dined here for the first time, and food was delicious (calamari portico and rabbit), service wonderful and atmosphere very nice in an old fashioned kind of way. They take good care of their customers! We will definitely be back soon!“

“If you love the food at La Stalla, check out their Italian market! They have all kinds of ready to eat meals that they serve in the restaurant, seafood in the deli section, canned and packaged items, as well as decadent desserts. ? recommend“

“The buffalo chicken pizza is soooo good! The only place I've had buffalo pizza that uses crispy chicken, a nice amount of hot sauce and delicious pools of blue cheese. It's even tasty the next day. We also tried the margherita pizza which was also fantastic. The sauce is really delicious! Highly recommended!“
