Magari

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.

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 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.

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 £12.50 You can chose any of the house sauces (not the specials), 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 was 🤣 The 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.

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 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 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 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!

Cosy little place with amazing home made pasta 🥰 Lovely, friendly service as well. Definitely recommend and will come back!

We visited here after a recommendation. My boys really enjoyed it ☺️ the 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 waiting. The food was really tasy, I especially loved the bruschetta, the live oil was soo good
