Pizzarova ★ 3.9

Pizzeria£BedminsterMon-Tue 12:00-21:00; Wed-Sat 12:00-21:30; Sun 12:00-21:00

Pizzarova stretches Bristol-made sourdough at four sites across the city; the North Street branch keeps Bedminster in quick, blistered pizzas.

Signature: Sourdough pizza

Order: A classic margherita done properly, or the monthly special if chalked up.

Tip: Park Street, Gloucester Road and Whiteladies Road branches run the same dough if North Street has a queue.

RAGU ★ 4.4

Italian££Wapping WharfMon 13:00-23:00; Tue-Thu 12:00-15:00, 17:00-23:00; Fri-Sat 12:00-23:00

RAGU packs an Italian sharing-plates kitchen into a Cargo 2 container at Wapping Wharf, Bristol, and won a Michelin Bib Gourmand within a year.

Signature: Sharing-plate pasta

Order: Two pastas between two, plus whichever fried snack opens the menu.

Tip: It took over the container Tare vacated; walk-ins are encouraged, and Grace Dent's Guardian review made weekends busy.

Little Hollows Pasta ★ 4.5

Italian££RedlandTue-Sat 12:00-15:00 and from 17:30

Little Hollows rolls its pasta by hand on Chandos Road in Redland, Bristol, and holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand alongside starred neighbour Wilsons.

Signature: Hand-rolled fresh pasta

Order: The day's stuffed pasta; the menu swerves the standard penne pomodoro.

Tip: It sits two doors from Wilsons, so Chandos Road can cover aperitivo, pasta and a starred tasting menu in one street.

The Blaise Inn ★ 4.3

British gastropub££HenburyKitchen Wed-Sat 12:00-16:00, 18:00-21:00; Sun 12:00-16:00; bar from 17:00 Mon-Tue

The Blaise Inn is a Bib Gourmand village pub by Blaise Castle estate in Henbury, north Bristol, worth the bus ride for its two-course lunch deal.

Signature: Two-course set lunch

Order: The set lunch, then a walk through the Blaise Castle parkland next door.

Tip: Kitchen closes between lunch and dinner; Sunday food stops at 16:00 sharp, so aim for a 13:00 roast sitting.

Bianchis is Montpelier's green-tiled Italian trattoria, the anchor of a small Bristol group that also runs Cotto, with pasta made in-house daily.

Signature: Handmade pasta

Order: The five-course set with the house pasta; Sunday lunch is the local ritual.

Tip: Last tables are seated two hours before closing, so treat 21:00 as the real cut-off for a full dinner.
