Amazing as always. Thank you once again for a brilliant meal. Super friendly staff, brilliant restaurant and always made to feel very welcome. We’ll obviously be back again!

Exceptional service and food. Enjoyed a wonderful evening at this restaurant with friends. Will definitely be returning couldn’t fault a thing. A hidden gem !

Thanks Bistro for a lovely night as always. Superb food a very friendly and efficient service. I had a delicious pasta dish and the mixed fish platter was also lovely.

We enjoyed sea food, highly recommend! Staff is kind and willing to help customers. Price is correct with sea food. We will come back bye

Great little spot - authentic Italian food and lovely friendly service. Will definitely be back. A hidden gem in the city of Durham. Go visit

Although I had booked, an extra table had to be laid to accommodate us. We also Had to wait too long for starter to be served

We ordered off the specials menu. When the bill came it was more expensive and were told the specials didn’t apply in December. Food was ok.

Very good service, prompt and attentive. Lots of choices on menu and good price range. Potato skins were delicious and reasonable portions too. Will definitely go back again.

Food is good. Was sat by the door and was draughty when people left the door open but would definitely go back again and would recommend it to others.

We visited Bistro Italiano for Sunday lunch very recently as a family party of 6 adults and 1 child. We had a mixture of 3 course Sunday lunch and the a la carte menu. The food was excellent and we would recommend.

The meal was lovely but we all wished the potato skins had more potatoe in rather been like a crispy crisp but will definitely try again

Came to visit Durham for the weekend and found this place for dinner. Great food and atmosphere. The staff were attentive and friendly too. Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely team and meal. Friends starter wasn’t as good as had hoped but pate was delicious as always.

The bistro is simply great. One of the best restaurants in Durham. You can get straight forward pizza or pasta dishes but you can also get really nice a la carte dihes too. I had a lemon sole special which was outstanding

Perfect, as always. We will be back again. Grazie a tutti.

Atended Bistro Italiano for an anniversary meal with my husband, had a lovely evening. Nice atmospheric restaurant, service excellent and food wonderfull. We will be returning soon. Highly recommend a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Lovely food as usual. Fantastic value, 2 courses for £8.95 on early bird menu which has the choices I would go for anyway. Quick service with a very reasonable glass of house wine.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. The service was excellent and the food was lovely. The prices are reasonable too. Would definitely recommend this restaurant

Great food, great service, great place! Took a little finding, due to being visitors to the area, but well worth it once there. Definitely on our wish list to visit again.

Great restaurant, lovely staff - felt so welcome. Great value for money. We had the 3 course set menu and there is so much choice. Really nice setting too.

Good food, lovely people, reasonably priced. Decor is a little faded but the soul of the place most certainly isn't. Will definitely eat here again if I return to Durham.

The food is always lovely here and the staff are always pleasant. Service is really quick and of a high standard. Good value for money.

Excellent service, good food, nice ambience. Wine prices and quality are very good. Not sure what else one can add. Would definitely recommend and will return.

This is the first visit too this restaurant and would not hesitate in making a return trip. The food was very nice and well presented. The interior is pleasant Staff were friendly and very happy to assist in menu selections.

We had excellent service. It was a welcoming experience. They were helpful to cater to needs of other customers - there was a family with two young kids who sat at the table next to us. They readily gave the hungry kids something to eat.

Great food, reasonable prices, helpful staff. One of the party isnt big on italian food but lots of seafood choices that made her happy. Decor is a bit rustic but suitable.

Excellent service and the food is beautiful . I’ve been 4 times now and will definitely be going back and recommending it to my friends

This is one of the best Italian restaurants in the Durham area. The food is excellent and they have great customer service. Would highly recommend although you do have to book as it can get quite busy on weekends.

Excellent service and great choice of food from steaks,pasta,chicken and an extensive choice of seafood. The home cooked chips were also very nice. Highly recommend

Great restaurant very good service and the food is always excellent. Would recommend the seafood risotto and the bruschetta. Good location easy to find park on the road

Great Italian restaurant; cosy with a friendly atmosphere (music was a little too loud). Staff were excellent- very good service. Menu was varied, (great value happy hour deals) free bread dough balls and dipping oil/vinegar, food was tasty and served efficiently. Definitely recommend and will return.

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, the service is great and the food is delicious. It was graduation so extremely busy and it all still worked really well. Very generous portions too. Thanks

Super meal lovely fresh ingredients amazing service it's the second time we have eaten here and there will be a third...fourth and fifth. Simply stunning

Great Location, Fantastic food with great service. Authentic Cuisine. Great Carpaccio followed by an excellent quality Fillet Steak and Lobster. Will definitely come back again.

1st time of visiting , will definitely be returning, food was delicious , atmosphere was friendly , and service was excellent , highly recommended. 😁

Food excellent but experience spoilt by one meal arriving which was not what we ordered Mistake quickly put right and when the bill arrived the restaurant had compensated us at their discretion. To be fair it is the best Italian in Durham!!!

We attended twice this week as the food is lovely and the service is great. Both times we had the fillet and it was my little boys 4th birthday and the staff sang to him with his ice-cream totally unprompted

Absolutely outstanding as always. Brilliant food at a very reasonable price. Ambience is excellent, staff are incredibly friendly too. Certainly worth a visit!
