Since Giuseppe took his first job at the restaurant 35 years ago, a lot has changed, but one thing hasn't changed: our passion for authentic Italian cuisine.The restaurant first opened in 1961 as "Marco's," named after Marco Berni of the "Berni Inns" family.The Bernis, one of Bristol's most famous families, founded Britain's first iconic restaurant chain, starting with venues in Bristol's Old City such as the Rummer, Hole in the Wall, and Horts.Marco offered the restaurant to Giuseppe after he had run it for 35 years and wanted to continue Bristol's oldest Italian food tradition.We still enjoy bringing the best of Italy to Bristol, from early morning trips to the market to source the best local ingredients to watching the dough rise for the perfect Italian pane.
