If you want Italian food you really can't go wrong here. A huge menu, so many choices it was hard to decide. I had the chef's special veal. I liked it but probably would have preferred one of my other many choices. Partner had pasta with vegetables and loved it. Great wine list. For Italian food you can't go wrong.... More

My wife and I live two minutes from this restaurant. Years ago we ate at the original Roberto's and as I recall it was very good. They have since relocated to a new spot on Hope Street. The restaurant is on the smallish side. It's cozy and comfortable. We started with salads: I had a honey mustard Caesar salad and... More

Our first experience of dining in this area and Roberto's was just great. The meals are large portions and well prepared. There is also a nice selection of wines available by the glass. We would return here if in the area again.

Wonderful dinner. Don't fill up on the bread, save room for dessert - the carmel flan is terrific. The service is attentive without being overbearing. We're adding Roberto's to our list of favorite restaurants.

To dine there on a weekend, make reservations 4 to 5 days in advance. But it is worth planning ahead to eat at this restaraunt in Bristol. Recently moved to a larger location in downtown Bristol we have never had a bad meal or experience here. Get the antipasto app. Large portions. Very good service.

I cannot believe it was this bad. My mother and I decided to go the other night even though we weren't dressed to the nines (jeans and a jacket). We arrived and it took a while to be seated and once we were, we were seated at the back. We received our bread, but no oil or butter in site.... More

Our party of six went here to celebrate a birthday. Hostess was friendly and seating us as soon as we walked in the door. Our waitress, Allison, came to our table once we were seated and was very friendly. Tables seemed a little close together, but the noise level was subdued. Service was timely, even though it became busy. Food... More

Went here on Valentines Night with no reservations. We were able to find 2 seats at the bar. Bartender was amazing. Very friendly and catering to us. Food was delicious. Everything came out in a timely manner. Very nice atmosphere. Highly recommend. I know I will definitely go back!

Great menu and excellent wine list! Food cooked to order and just divine. We ate there Friday and liked it so much we went back on Saturday. Be sure to make reservations though, it is a small cozy restaurant and books up fast!

I've been going to Roberto's for well over 15 years. I like their new establishment, which is located diagonally from their previous location. It is more open and can accomodate more customers. I did however prefer the intimacy of the other location even though it was tight quarters. The food is consistently good to very good. On Sunday's they've had... More
