    The food was just okay. If you like pasta dishes then it’s acceptable. Red sauce and cheese can mask anything. The stuffing for cod fish and mushroom appetizer need a lot of help as it was bland and not worth being on the menu. We left unsatisfied and went home and had popcorn to fill that hankering void.  Our waitress was wonderful, and atmosphere was nice. Noise level moderate. Seems like a lot of people enjoy it, as people were flocking in. Bristol is always a beautiful area to drive around and visit. Try for yourself make your own assessment, but this place is not for me,  I didn’t like it 10 years ago either.

    3 of us sat down to eat. 2 of us sent our meal back. Salmon was overcooked and fishy smelling. The service was great ( Paula). She could not have been more understanding and gracious. We re-ordered and were somewhat satisfied with the second choice.

    The fresh cod was excellent! But the sauce was very good.

    We love it here! Without fail, every time my family and I dine here it is a 10/10 experience! The classic Italian dishes are amazing and the servings are generous but not overwhelming. My mom and I love their Bolognese the best but there isn’t a bad choice on the menu. Only flaw is their cannolis aren’t my preference but that can be easily overlooked (it’s not easy to get that filling just right). Overall I recommend Roberto’s to all who love Italian food and ambiance!

    Seafood meals (2) were delicious. Wait staff attentive. Good crowd for a small-ish dining room; three different birthday dinners going on for a Tuesday night. We ordered a bottle of Soave. When we didn't finish it at dinner, the waitress put the bottle in a sealed plastic carry bag so we could drive home legally, without an "open bottle" in the car. Good idea!
