Lords Knows It Ain't Easy finding high quality italian, but Keep Ya Head Up because Machiavelli's is Loyal 2 The Game! If you're ever Runnin' On E then You Don't Have 2 Worry. I definitely felt like this was a Fair Xchange, this place is Str8 Ballin! I hope this place stays open Until The End of Time. If you're ever in Bristol Hit Em Up!

This is a cute Italian restaurant. It is honestly a lot bigger inside than we first thought so they have plenty of seating and probably a good place for a big group of people! The food was also pretty good and SUPER good portions for the price! I ordered the penne all vodka and added chicken to it! All of their pastas come with a salad and a breadstick too. The salad was good and the Italian dressing was also good. The breadstick wasn't my favorite, it was a little dense and I was also sad you had to pay for bread before the meal unlike some restaurants were it is complimentary, but honestly would pass on an order of them. My pasta was really good and saucy just like I like it and I'm glad I added chicken for a lil extra protein in there. Overall I enjoyed my food and I think the prices are great for the amount of food you get!

I was one of the first people there for dinner, I was seated and waited 15 minutes for a server to come. They didn't have a wine list because it was being updated. I never received a water refill, and never even asked if I wanted more wine. Some of the waitresses were dressed like they had been working in the yard with skimpy shorts and teeshirts, highly unprofessional. Won't be back.

Waited over an hour for a one topping pizza and one pasta dish. Service was below average, and no apology for the long wait time. Asked several times for condiments and waited a long time for those too. When we paid the bill, it took over 10 minutes. There is no excuse for this, especially on a weeknight with few customers. Will not be back!

Not bad for frozen pizza dough!
Waitress was very good, fast service, refills kept up.
The only good thing here. Only reason why 3 stars.
Pizza was not good, being from NY, this was not freshly made pizza dough. Not even close.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Christie F.Bristol, VA358188428Jan 6, 2017
This is my favorite local pizza place! Little hidden gem that has some of the best white pizza ever, I just turned it pink! The crust is nice and thin and crispy, the white sauce is a creamy Alfredo, and they use quality cheese so it stretches forever! I like to mix mine with the tomato sauce and add smoked Gouda to the top aaahhhh! YUMmmm
They have a great bottled beer selection as well, nice liquor selection and the staff is really nice! Hannah is a super waitress and bartender! The only problem is they don't deliver....Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Gordon L.Bentonville, AR562Jul 19, 2019
I wanted to share my experience with everyone and hope all visitors have the same. IT WAS GREAT!
The food was excellent, we had the All Meat Pizza and a Cesar Salad. The wife went on and on about how good the salad was and then when the pizza arrived...OMG...how good is that!!!
The service was the best, I believer her name was Kelsey. Anything she could do to make our experience better, she was there. We were on vacation and I must say she was probably the most attentive restaurant associate we encountered over the ten day period.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AAA+++Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Greg F.Alexandria, VA434624341Oct 30, 2018
My family has been eating here for a couple of years now. The first time I ate here I found it promising. Our server was awesome! We ordered a pizza and mixed it up by making a pink a sauce and ordered a pasta. The pizza was the star that night. Since then, I have ordered a few different menu items other than pizza and I was just flat out disappointed. Also, other servers have not been as good.
The last time my family went in we were with a friends family so it was a big party. They seated us in the back room and basically forgot about us. It took FOREVER to get our food and when we did, most were not overly happy. The pizza was ok but it's just not as good as the first time I had it. Maybe that is just my taste buds changing over the past couple of years, maybe not. All in all though, based on how long it has taken to get food the past couple of times, and how disappointed everyone I know has been with anything other than pizza (and appetizers of course) I just can't give this more than three stars now.
Now my wife on the other hand has a completely different opinion as she absolutely loves the pizza. I just found it very salty the past couple of times and also found the crust to be a little off. Again, my tastes may have just changed over the past couple of years as I don't live in the area like she does. Oh, they also have a nice selection of beer and the atmosphere is nice as long as you are not at that table in the back room.
Would I eat here again, of course. It isn't terrible, it's just more of a pizza joint to me. I guess what I am trying to say is that if you like pizza give it a shot. Especially on Sundays when they have a deal on pizza. It is still the best pizza in Bristol in my opinion.
I forgot to mention the Italian Nachos. Tasty... very tasty. Yeah, try that as well.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Janet D.Mount Carmel, TN012Mar 22, 2022
This is a terrible 'restaurant'. Really poor service and terrible food. They give you a bag of chips as a side.
