    All three pizzas were burned and tasted dry and burned. Very disappointing

    Have dined in several times...always happy with food quality. Have ordered via DoorDash too. This time, we ordered via DoorDash...three custom pizzas and ones that we have had before and really liked. This time, all three were burned on top and tasted it. They were dry and not good. We were quite disappointed as we had friends over and had told them how good Machiavelli's is. We probably won't order again.

    Rotten tomato from this disgusting restaurant. Somebody needs to lose their job.

    Do not under any circumstances eat at this restaurant. They served me rotten food! Apparently, their standards have went completely out the window because not only was their a rotten tomato on my pizza it was cold and flavorless too. Somebody called Gordon Ramsey because this is a complete kitchen nightmare! Will be reporting this to the proper authorities.

    It was ok...no one was there. Pizza was ok. No cheese sauce for the breadsticks.. Bummer.

    I was one of the first people there for dinner, I was seated and waited 15 minutes for a server to come. They didn't have a wine list because it was being updated. I never received a water refill, and never even asked if I wanted more wine. Some of the waitresses were dressed like they had been working in the yard with skimpy shorts and teeshirts, highly unprofessional. Won't be back.

    This is a cute Italian restaurant. It is honestly a lot bigger inside than we first thought so they have plenty of seating and probably a good place for a big group of people! The food was also pretty good and SUPER good portions for the price! I ordered the penne all vodka and added chicken to it! All of their pastas come with a salad and a breadstick too. The salad was good and the Italian dressing was also good. The breadstick wasn't my favorite, it was a little dense and I was also sad you had to pay for bread before the meal unlike some restaurants were it is complimentary, but honestly would pass on an order of them. My pasta was really good and saucy just like I like it and I'm glad I added chicken for a lil extra protein in there. Overall I enjoyed my food and I think the prices are great for the amount of food you get!

    Happy Nat'l Pizza Day!

    This is my favorite local pizza place! Little hidden gem that has some of the best white pizza ever, I just turned it pink! The crust is nice and thin and crispy, the white sauce is a creamy Alfredo, and they use quality cheese so it stretches forever! I like to mix mine with the tomato sauce and add smoked Gouda to the top aaahhhh! YUMmmm They have a great bottled beer selection as well, nice liquor selection and the staff is really nice! Hannah is a super waitress and bartender! The only problem is they don't deliver....

    While we didn't indulge in the pizza offerings (tempting), Machiavelli's was a welcoming refuge for two weary travelers who just arrived ravenous from the 5 hour drive from Nashville. The place was packed with imbibers especially since it was a Friday night with some tented street festival going on right outside the door. We made the drive to Bristol for the Gentleman of the Road festival so this was a welcome surprise. Once we sat down to a table, a friendly server dropped off some menus and took our drink order. Red wine served in plastic cups with a bit of Tom Petty on the jukebox made me smile but the Greek Salad ($7) and Sun Dried Tomato Hummus served with tortilla chips ($6) were satisfying. They were nice enough to split the servings for us too. Service was efficient and consistent. The crowd was definitely snockered but fun and my only regret is that I didn't order a pizza... TIP: Make your own pizza selections and an appealing lunch menu were on the menu. Prices were affordable too.

    Going to get this fabulous pizza for dinner.

    Excellent service, pasta was great. Expect food that's better than you expect! Don't look for fancy though. Think Roma cafe

    Good service. Nice place, but very bad food. I had a salty and greasy grinder ( sandwich) and my partner had a plane lasagna.

    Hey friends! I went out with some new coworkers to this cool spot downtown…read more This spot is the rose that grew from concrete. Bristol is a rural town but certain areas are becoming more chic, such as this rooftop bar. I ordered a brown sugar old fashioned to start with. It was AMAZING. I would definitely recreate it at home, the flavors balance perfectly. For my entree, I had the chicken sandwich. The batter was perfectly crispy and seasoned well. I like that they use chicken thighs, which are juicy and makes for a delicious sandwich. Fries were okay, I wish they weren't steak fries. +Our server was friendly! She recommended great menu items. +Limited parking +Outdoor seating with a beautiful overlook of the city. Indoor seating as well. +Prices are a little above average. +Restaurant was clean and well stocked. I hope enjoy!

    Hands down, people, this is the best bar in Bristol. Why?…read more Happy Hour! M-F from 2-5pm, all the Shareables are 50% off and drinks are really discounted! It's a really great way to try the food! Food (5/5): Elevated bar food! The kitchen from the downstairs restaurant, Vivian's Table, makes the food and it is really delicious. We tried the popcorn shrimp, which are breaded and crispy. Really great. We of course, had to try the Mountain of fries - these are matchstick fries and the best part was the three different sauces that come with it. The chipotle ketchup was my favorite. We also tried the wings, which were good..I am not a huge wing fan, though. The jalapeno poppers (wrapped in bacon with a cheese filing) were great, as were the steak nachos. And of course, the hummus with the fry bread was great, too. My hubby liked the hazy IPA that was on draft. Even better at $3.50 a pint during Happy Hour. I really liked the cocktails - some of my favorite was a new espresso based tequila (for the summer menu) and the creamsicle. Service (5/5): Everyone up here is super nice - the manager Landry, bartender Raine and all the servers were really fantastic. Ambiance (5/5): Location - This is the top of the Bristol Hotel, and one of the only rooftop bars in Bristol. From the top you have a lovely view of the famous Bristol sign, great when it lights up at night.
