Magari

Super tasty pasta in a cosy shop. We were lucky to be able to get a table for 2 indoors, although they do have outdoor seating. I had the pesto (special) and my partner had the carbonara, both were fantastic and fresh.

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 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!

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 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!

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.

Had a lovely meal here, service was amazing and so was the food. Rhianne served us and was so lovely. Really made my birthday special! Thank you. Would 100% recommend

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.

If you like pasta, this is THE place to go in Bristol. The food was amazing. Staff were friendly. Place is small so definitely book before heading over.

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.
