Visited for pizza and a beer. Lovely little spot right on the marina with fantastic views and a lovely ambience. It was busy, but we were fortunate to have a quiet nook away from the larger groups who were there. Service was attentive without intruding on our evening. Some vegan and vegetarian options. We went for pizza which was very nice and good value too. Sides of salad and chips we thought were overpriced for what you got. Chunky chips were delicious but very small portion of about 8 chips. Salad was disappointing. Delicious coffee though! Would visit again when we are next in Portishead. If you are looking for a decent Italian meal in a lovely location you’d be hard pressed to find anything better in Portishead.

It is all about Italian, from the food to the friendliest service. Feels like eating at home. Espresso and ice cream is to die for. I even forgot to take a picture of them!!🤣🤣

Brilliant Italian restaurant. We had Ravioli with spinach and ricotta with tomato sauce that were extraordinary. The pasta carbonara is typically Italian and very well cooked as well. the top is the dessert which was a pistachio profiteroles. They were topped with a pistachio cream very very good. Staff really friendly, they gave us a very nice table with great views.

We have been coming here for years, but the last time we came (last year) the food was disappointing, so we booked with trepidation, not being confident that it would be a good experience. However, we were very glad that it has largely returned to it’s previous high quality of food and service.
3 of us came for an early dinner, ordering a bottle of house white wine, 1 whitebait and calamari starter to share and then a main course for each of us - veal, sea bass and hake with 2 glasses of wine between us
The quality of the fish was excellent, while the veal was a little tough in places. The total cost of the meal was £110, so not cheap, but we will be going back again.

Fantastic Vegan options and Coffee!!! Yum yum yum! Thank you so much!

Brilliant. We had ravioli and pasta carbonara with pistachio profiteroles for dessert. The 3 dishes were high quality. Carbonara was well integrated with the spaghetti and with the perfect touch of pepper. The location is amazing with the glass ceiling providing natural light. The dessert was very original and the pistachio cream simply outstanding.

This place is amazing in all level. Service is professional and the food is amazing. Full on flavours and the quality of the ingredients are real. Highly recommend this gem on the edge of the water for any occasion and meal. Thank you for the beautiful dinner we had with you tonight.

Rather unobtrusive Restaurant by the lock into Portishead marina; but do visit! Friendly and attentive service & had the Seabass risotto.. yummy. Washed down with some Rose. As I say, rather non descript but great food & service; so pay a visit as it’s also good value.

Lovely little bar/eatery overlooking the marina entrance. Fair costs. Nice staff =)

Really nice setting on the lock overlooking the bay, relaxing lunch in a busy restaurant, did not feel rushed so they could turn the tables round, also did not book but got a table outside for 2, very hot day but if you sat in the conservatory style indoor bit it had lots of wide opening doors in there and a good amount of tables. Food really nice, perfect size portions, freshly cooked and very tasty. Best of all? Service second to none, friendly waiters attentive to each table, and not afraid to chat with their customers so felt welcomed. Overall faultless. Thanks for a lovely experience.

The food was absolutely delicious and I made mine disappear at a rate of knots!
Simply wonderful in every way, I hope you get a chance to visit. Definitely worth booking in advance to avoid disappointment, especially during evenings and weekends

Nice location. Great ambience. Great menu. My personal view is more seasoning and a bit more attention to detail and presentation would help make this a "great" experience. Portions could be slightly smaller and quality enhanced e.g. beef fillet medallions, chewy & tough! Overall a pleasant venue.

Been coming here once or twice a year since it opened and always impressed. The emphasis is in authentically Italian recipes cooked with flavour and care. The staff are amazingly attentive and the atmosphere is lovely, it is never too noisy or pressurised. The clientele are normally smartly dressed, it looks as if many people use this restaurant for special occasions.

We had a lovely meal here on a Sunday afternoon. I had the carbonara and my wife had the salmon, both were delicious and served piping hot.
The service was also excellent with friendly staff.
The only very minor downside was that because the restaurant is so popular and I booked late, we were sat just inside the door and we did not get to enjoy the nice view outside.
But I can't wait to come back again!

Excellent food and service, had been here twice, and always got surprised by their amazing food every time!

9 of us ate dinner here and we were all very pleased with the food, service and value for money. The dishes really were excellent and the staff are friendly and relaxed. Good choices for vegetarians and gluten intolerant people. Highly recommended.

Had a delicious meal here with 3 others the other day. Well made tasty dishes and great wines. I started with scollops which were juicy and perfectly cooked, followed by the Salmon dish which was also cooked to perfection. The team were very accommodating and looked after us very well also. Perfect on a nice sunny day.

Good welcome from friendly staff and attractive restaurant in interesting lockside location. Nice House Red and we enjoyed our meals, which did, however, lack the wow factor. There was a Chef Wanted ad in the window on the way in.
Sam Moreno
Just popped in for a cheeky beer and a snack. Sampled a few starters to share as we felt peckish. A good position and pleasant vista. Very relaxed atmosphere and unhurried. Only missed a couple of plates to share the tasty morsels on, and water for the table. The scallop starter was slightly overdone but still very tasty, would have it again and will be back to sample the wider menu. There's also parking that makes it very convenient once the access roads have been negotiated.
Sue Smith
Easier to park than we expected which was a great start. When we went in we were greeted in a very friendly yet professional manner and seated immediately and comfortably. Then we were offered a drink and chose a bottle of my favourite red wine which was excellent together with a beer and a lager which I was told were also good.
We then chose from a Sunday Lunch menu which was more varied than I usually expect. Six choices of starter. We had the beetroot carpachio, it looked amazing and tasted amazing too. The ribs and whitebait/calamari were also good. Main courses of seabass with spinach risotto and shrimps was delicious as was the beef dinner and the pork belly. Dessert - we chose a panna cotta and a creme brulee, they were perfect. Altogether reasonably priced too I couldn't recommend this place enough. Perfect!
Jo Miller
We had lunch today for my birthday and I must say everything about it was perfection. Will be back and would recommend unreservedly. Thankyou
James Coburn
Good from start to finish. We had the bruscetta to start which was delicious, and I had arguably the nicest piece of chicken I've ever eaten. It was stunning. We both really enjoyed the meal, location and service and will be back for sure. Glad it's on our doorstep :)
Lisa Anthony
I took my staff today for a Christmas lunch and it was lovely. Good fast service with a smile even though it was very busy and I would definitely recommend people try it. Location is also fab!

Stunning restaurant. Took my nephew and nieces. Great staff, lovely position, the food is a delight. I can't fault anything.
Tracey Henderson
Great venue on the edge of the marina and we had a nice welcome and good service. My partners meal of arancini to start then veal with prawns was stunning, sadly my mussels and pasta with crab was quite bland.
