Went here with my girlfriend on 18/2. Booked in advance via the website which was very easy. The atmosphere was great and the restaurant steadily filled throughout the night. The choice of food and wine was plentiful. The service and food was excellent and the 2 1/2 hours we were in the restaurant flew by without any pressure to relinquesh... More

Paid a visit in January after going to the Hippodrome. Food was good and staff made you feel welcome, and whilst there we booked a table for 4 on Valentines night. Arrived on Valentines night at 7pm and by 8pm the place was absolutely full with I would guess about 100 covers. There was a set menu for about £23.95... More

Myself and my daughter visited The Europa restaurant for a celebration meal while we were visiting Bristol. We had the special 3 course meal and house wine which was delicious! The service was very good and the atmosphere was very Italian. Thank you very much. More

I am so pleased your daughter and friend enjoyed dinning with us here at Europa on Valentine's evening and found our food "wonderful and the atmosphere fantastic" It's nice to know that our attempt at decorating the restaurant with roses, Valentine balloons plus dimming the lights and Lionel Richie singing in the background doesn't go un-noticed. However, I am sure... More

Went after reading the numerous good reviews on here, it was not bad but certainly not as good as what is suggested here on-line. The food was tasty and reasonably priced but a few things let it down. The Meatball starter my partner had which consisted of two Meatballs which were no bigger than the size of golf balls were...

I am sorry you were disappointed and felt that Europa was not as good as suggested by previous reviews posted on this site, even though you found the food "tasty and reasonably priced". With regard to the meatball starter being "a little stingy" consisting of 2 meatballs "no bigger then the size of golf balls" ; this is only a... More

Had an excellent pizza for lunch. Came because of trip advisor. They did not let us down. The pizza was superb (and I should know as I am half Italian). For £6 we had Salad or garlic bread and a Pizza or Pasta dish. The salad was well presented and very fresh. Staff come from Italy and it was lovely... More

Reading your review put a big smile on my face, because this is exactly the experience that we hope to bring all our customers. Here at Europa we want people to enjoy our authentic Italian food and atmosphere, so to actually have a review that sums up what we are all about is just an amazing feeling. Grazia Mille More

Ate here because of the tripadvisor rating. Found it to be average at best. The pasta was tired and the wine list was limited and vastly over priced More

I was very sad and surprised to read your review about Europa. I myself, served you and your guest that evening and not once during your meal did you ever indicate to me or any of my staff that you were unhappy with your food or the choices available to you. In fact you ate all of your meal, which... More

We travelled from London to spend a few days to celebrate my birthday and came here on my actual birthday. I chose this restaurant after reading the positive reviews on here and I'm glad to say I was not disappointed. The food and service here is second to none and because of this I had a great birthday.

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you!!!! We are so happy, that you had a lovely birthday with us and that you enjoyed your spaghetti meatballs - Pietro uses his mother's recipe. It is true what you say, sometimes the simple things in life are the best, and here at Europa we do try our best to make things... More

Really enjoyed our visit here, staff were very friendly and the food was lovely. There were 2 bottles of wine on our bill when we'd only had 1 but this was resolved quickly. Will definitely go again. More

Went here for lunch with a supplier. It pretty much fulfilled expectations to the letter. The lunch deal was cheap, pizza was tasty. Drinks were overpriced to compensate for the cheap food. Service was fun, but incompetent. Fine for lunch with colleagues, but I wouldn't deem this a fine eatery for a romantic evening, but this isn't the market they're... More

Thank you so much for your review, with regard to our lunch time special menu - any pizza or pasta with either garlic bread or a bowl of salad for £6. The lunch time special has been offered at this amazing prize to our customers for the last three years and represents at least a 50% saving on the normal... More
