I went alone on a Monday. The bruschetta had a base of two large slices of bloomer bread, smeared with garlic butter and some chopped tomato. Pretty dull. The pizza was so greasy that I could not finish it. More

Had an evening meal with hubby for our anniversary. The place had a great atmosphere, was very busy, although it was a Saturday, so I would have been surprised if it wasn't. Was a little disappointed at first as I'd previewed the menu online and decided I'd have spaghetti with spicey crab and fennel, only the be informed that it... More

Thank you for choosing Europa for your very special evening. In Europa we try and make every evening special but when it's wedding anniversaries we go that little bit further and make it even more special with a little bit of zest all the way from Sorrento the home of Limonchello! However, I apologise for your little disappointment that we... More

Visited during the Italian Auto Moto Festival when they were offering a pasta or pizza, together with garlic bread or salad for £6.00 per head. Wasn't expecting much but my seafood pizza was full size, with clams, squid, prawns and fresh mussels in the shell. Salad was great too. Brilliant value. Had to have a bottle of wine with it,...

Came here for a 40th birthday meal on a Saturday night and there were 17 of us in total. The service was spot on and the food/wine perfect. The price was reasonable as well (£24 on average each for a starter and main course plus drinks/tip) I would definately come back and would recommend it for larger groups (there was... More

Thank you Vicky for your lovely review and thank you e-mail. It was great to have you all with us. We love having parties in Europa, we all have a good time! Banners and Balloons are Europa's speciality, let's face it no party is complete without a few decorations and a great atmosphere. However, the most important ingredient for any... More

First visit with two regulars who are friends of owners. On a quiet night but food v.good, plenty of friendly chat and typically Bristol and Italian banter was a laugh. Seafood Risotto cooked v.well, pasta starter was "large"! Will go again when allowed more calories and ask for spiced chilli oil dressing! Phew! More

The service in this place is outstanding. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and made sure we had everything we wanted/needed without disturbing our meal. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The portion sizes were quite large, especially for the price. The Bucatini Con Pomodori Arostiti was so good I've found myself craving it a couple of times... More
