Came here for a special occasion to celebrate our son's graduation from Bristol U. Tiny, well-lit dining room, friendly service (albeit a bit slow at times), and superb food across the board. The housemade pasta in particular was excellent. Pricey but worth it.

Had been wanting to go here for a while and the wait did not disappoint. The pasta options were so difficult to choose from, especially as they change the menu seasonally. The ravioli was divine and the prawn starter was something special. The espresso martinis stole the show for us! Genuinely so tasty that we kept getting more. It’s lovely for a date night with cosy vibes but equally had a lively atmosphere which made it fun.

Absolutely wonderful neighbourhood restaurant. I came for lunch with a friend, the three course option for £25 was brilliant value - we devoured every bite. Service was friendly and perfectly judged. The restaurant is small and intimate, with a really nice feel to the place. Delicious cocktails, fantastic wine. Overall a wonderful experience - I just wish I lived closer!

Nice and cozy. Our favourite was definitely the nduja pasta, and the desserts were amazing. Pizzetta was great flavour wise but very difficult to eat or share. Front of house staff were amazing and lovely, very helpful too. Kept changing the menu as we ate which was a little strange, and maybe seemed a bit unprepared considering how quiet it was. But we had a great time!

Charming location, though small and fairly hot in the summer. Staff were friendly if a bit overrun.The salt cod and tomatoes in entree were wonderful, and I'm not always the biggest tomato fan - the dressing was perfectly salty and complemented the fresh sweet tomatoes.I also thought the dessert was great, rich chocolate without being overwhelming and it had a nice texture.The coffee was very nice (not cheap though, damn, but £2.8 might be a typical price for Bristol?), and the seasonal soda was fresh and enjoyable.I was a little bit let down by the pasta. It was well cooked, properly al dente, but I found it a bit too mild and thought the confit garlic gave it an almost bitter taste.Overall, a lovely spot and the lunch deal is good value. I'd recommend!

We had a wonderful time on Friday night taking my Mum for her Birthday! Having been multiple times we are never disappointed. The food is always beautiful and the ever-changing seasonal and local menu keeps it exciting and fresh each time we go (though I'm always pleased there is a variation of the pizzetta kept on the menu as it's a firm fave!) I love the small, relaxed and friendly vibe Sonny Stores has to offer, it's not pretentious - it knows what good food is and keeps this front and centre. The menu was lovingly explained to us by extremely friendly and helpful staff, with recommendations, drink pairings and even a step by step recipe of one of the dishes we chose after from the Chef! I will always choose to come back time and time again whether for celebrations or the excellent lunch time deal during the week for a leisurely treat with friends! Top Bristol spot :)

I’ve been wanting to visit Sonny Stores for some time. I like that it’s a small little restaurant with friendly and inviting vibes. Great and cosy atmosphere too. Service was good and attentive and the staff took time to explain the menu to us and offer recommendations.The food however was a bit of a letdown. The portion for every dish was rather sad given how expensive the food was. The trout that was served as antipasti was just a tiny piece of trout (not even a proper slice) spread across a leaf of salad. I was expecting a lot for a £30 ravioli dish as my main, but the presentation was subpar with a few raviolis spread across the plate here and there. One of the clams in the spaghetti dish that my friend had wasn’t washed properly leaving a lot of sand in the plate. We gave feedback to the staff during our meal but instead of acknowledging the suboptimal standard we were given excuses of how difficult it is to ensure every single clam is cleaned properly although she offered to inform the kitchen of our experience.We had antipasti, main dish and dessert but I left the restaurant hungry still.Overall, great vibe. Food was decent overall but not exceptional as you would expect from an expensive restaurant. Would I return? Probably not for dinner service, although if they offer cheaper lunch deal but I might consider coming back.
