I didn't get around to writing my first review and I'm glad I waited because the food was so amazing it brought me back the next day. CHEF ANDI YOU ARE THE BEST.

Her energy is infectious and she is hilarious. It's a motherly warm embracing feeling with her as a server. I will be sad to leave this place.

Our order was taken very quickly and I was impressed by the range of dishes on the menu; it is definitely a cut above the usual Italian restaurant fare. I had the Fregula di Frutti di Mare to start, which was not at all the seafood soup that I was expecting but more like a watery risotto. It was a bit too creamy for my taste and I wished they'd mentioned that on the menu, but there we are. For mains I thought I had ordered a penne with squid ink sauce, but when it came I was dismayed to find that I'd actually ordered something that was covered in cheese and cream sauce, which being lactose intolerant I just couldn't eat. However, after my profuse apologies for mis-reading the menu, they very quickly replaced it with the squid ink number (it was the spaghetti, not the penne!) so full marks to them for doing that. I liked the ambience of the place too, from the clichéd wax-encrusted wine bottle candle holders to the quirky decorative touches and pictures. I'll keep this place bookmarked for my next visit to Bristol.

I've been to La Piazza 1 a couple of times since moving to Fishponds 3 months ago. It's situated…read morejust off the high street on the corner of The Straights. What you get is a great value for money Italian restaurant with excellent service. I wouldn't call it fine dining but it's not trying to be and you can not go wrong for the price. The last time I went was a Tuesday night and the fact that it was tricky to find a table for 4 of us at 6:30pm on a Tuesday speaks volumes for how popular it is. We did have to wait a little while for food on that occasion but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt judging by the good service normally received and how busy it was that night. Food wise you can expect all of the usual suspects on the Italian menu along with fish and steak which as previously mentioned are all very reasonable in price. La Piaza 1 also appears to cater well for kids judging by the number of family's eating there. All in all, its a great value restaurant if you fancy a last minute bite to eat out or i'd also recommend it as a good starting point to eat before hitting a pub or 2 on the weekend.

It's also a BYO (with £1 corkage per head and there's a really big Wine Rack next door) seven days a week which is never a bad thing.

It's a cosy little bring-your-own (BYO) Italian-style cafe and pizzeria where you can take your own beer or wine for just £1 per head corkage, to enjoy over supper. I'd been meaning to try this place for ages when I first popped in and tried a take away from the deli-like counter - which had Mediterreanean mezze-style foods to choose from. The take-away carton I chose, made up of cold mixed salads and mezze, was wonderful, so we went back there one evening to eat-in and try the pizza. With the lights dimmed and the candles lit, it was very sweet and homely - and the stonebaked Italian pizzas are wonderful (12" or 14"), with mozzarella sourced from Naples (the home of pizza!). I tried the 'C Minor' (Calzone vegetarian folded pizza) and not only was it lovely but it almost felt healthy to eat, too. The food is so good and reasonably priced, with a BYO policy, there's really no excuse not to come back here - and as a small, independent local business I'm keen to support it.

The second reason, seeing at least 3 employees strolling to a table for their lunch break, carrying their Sunday roasts with those "found" roasted potatoes on their plates. Let me remind you that a great business model for restaurants is to "exceed guest (or customer) expectations and make a reasonable profit. No roasted potatoes meant two of your customers expectations were not met. That said, one of the party did received a child Sunday roast. The roasted beef was tough as leather and dry. I ordered the Halloumi salad, which I thought was very good. I enjoyed the pumpkin seeds mixed through. The pizzas are typically very good, which was ordered by 3 of the party. And chicken Caesar salad, ordered by another of the party, was (I think) satisfactory. Service was decent. I'd suggest, if possible, for the party of seven, the food comes out at the same time. It doesn't take much to figure out that a couple of staff can help each other. If they're busy, perhaps a member of management can assist... this would have made it better. Instead, we all waited until everyone got their food. I'm not 100% convinced that we will return, at least on a Sunday. It seems, based of previous visits, Sunday's is hit or miss. The ambiance, in my opinion, is consistent. We Like that it is family friendly.
