I’ve been here before and had a really nice time at the height of summer. Super busy on a Friday after work, served nicely food and drinks were great. Was looking forward to an excuse to come back. But I visited here on a Saturday night for a bottle of wine with my sister, and we were sat at the bar waiting for service on the two free stools at the end when we arrived. It’s a Saturday night, they were noticeably short of bar staff so we were happy to wait. Guy behind the bar is cleaning glasses and hands us a wine list as we sat down. We waited for a while, about twenty mins at this point, and as it quietens down the lady serving behind the bar looked at us as if we were something she stepped in on the street; so instead of wasting our time we decided to leave and go elsewhere. As soon as we stood up to leave and walked out the bar, she looked up, gave another dirty look and said sarcastically: thanks for coming guys! Obviously it’s a Saturday, it gets busy. Bars get short staff. Don’t take it out on the customers, we didn’t even complain or say anything about the wait! Will definitely not go back again, despite the previous positive visit.

Avoid full of stag & hen dos. Used to be a cool drop in. But now is too-good for regulars, reservation only place on Saturday nights. Has rainbow progress flags up but don’t be fooled, our experience was rude & dismissive. A really nice place a few months ago that sold out to be a posh-Popworld. Also currently under construction

Love this place, chilled vibes when quiet... but also gets "busy" with the right energy. I've been here for post work drinks, dates and special occasions (and some outside supper clubs run at the venue) The "vibes" are always great... staff friendly.. all I can say is I whish more venues operated with the same ethos... Always feels like a treat... never a chore.

I really had high hopes for this dinner but service was a real let down from the moment of entering. It led us to leave early and head to another nice wine bar nearby ( which I'm glad we did) Food was good. I can't get over the service quality. Firstly made a reservation for 8.15pm. we ended up arriving at 8pm but no one really greeted us at the entrance. We walked in and saw staff at the bar area milling around- no one bothering to greet us. We waited till 8.15pm and sat down. The server was grumpy and took 10 mins to take our drinks order. We wanted to put a food order at the same time having waited 15 mins for our table to be ready. She refused and wanted to give drinks first. We waited another 10 mins to put in our food order. She also seemed to want to serve other tables first and was always gruff and grumpy when serving us but friendly and cheery for the other tables. It made our experience rather unpleasant. She would dump the dishes on the table and go. No politeness at all. The order of the dishes we received was weird. We got chichetti in a staggered way that didn't make sense though we gave our full order at the top. Read for details. 15 mins for the first pear and pecorino crostini to arrive. It's literally pear with pecorino. No sauce nothing. One thing I found disappointing is crostini here is never toasted unlike all chichetti bars we saw in Venice so it made it feel cold. Secondly, I don't think bringing the first few crostini takes this long. I noticed in other tables, they tended to get crostini together and larger plates after- not us. Another 6 mins for the nduja pizzette. Yummy. next up was fritter and lemon crostini. 5 mins later. Both yummy. Fritter little oily. I thought it was great, we are getting into a rhythm here. I was wrong. The rest of food comes 36 mins later albeit together! Devil egg : yummy Salumi platter : yummy Walnut crostini: good Potatoes with truffle, caraway : nice. All in drips and drops. No order to it. Overall, wine was good. We had Spanish red and house red. Food also good. Service was such a let down that I don't recommend this place at all.

Disappointing experience with poor dishes; examples from our order are stale bread, topped with lemon curd and cold leeks and the pork and fennel sausage which was coarse with gristle. We watched food sat in the pass for ages before being served. In total we ordered 9 dishes and not one was pleasant or delicious. The waiter was awkward and told us to take a photo of the menu on the wall to read amongst us! He said luckily we could get table service tonight because they were quiet. We were then told he knew nothing about wine as the wrong bottle was bought and the meal ended with him dropping a fork on my friend’s lap. The whole experience was disappointing and we left feeling hungry after what we could only describe as a few bad starters.

I really love Bacareto. It is the *only* authentically cool place in the city centre. Probably, the only place that isn't crazy expensive too. As a sober person.. To speak so highly of a *bar* is UNHEARD of. I've spent a lot of time in Venice and lived there for a short while and Bacareto perfectly encapsulates those cheeky chicchetti bars on Via Garibaldi. You feel like you're on holiday every time you go in because the decor is contemporary and unfussy and the outdoor terrace and bar seating in the open window emulates those you might find in some cool European cities. There really is no other place like it in Wales. Toilets are funky and it's so refreshing to see local artists supported by a business in the city. They've commissioned artists to do bathroom murals and design Tshirts... And tbh that's just bloody classy in my book. Food. The food is gooood. Devilled eggs? Yes please. Arancini? Yes please. Anything with walnuts, honey and goats cheese? A hell yes, please. It's not necessarily somewhere I would go to have a full on meal. I rarely do go there to have a proper dinner but I know many do. I just love a nice snack or 5 with a nice non alcoholic spritz. It's a safe space for me as someone with 4 years of sobriety under my belt. It's not somewhere that you see people binge drinking because the atmosphere just gives off happy and creative. Their NA offerings make me feel included and are actually delicious. Its honestly the only bar I'd be happy to spend money in these days. God bless Bacareto, may it continue to be the best spot in town. 🙏

I had high hopes for this restaurant, so I booked a table for my friends leaving do. Service was very poor, sadly due to lack of staff. They were pleasant though! I appreciate on a Saturday evening staff are always rushed off their feet and I think they had an event upstairs. The menu was behind the bar which was difficult to see due to all the patrons crowding around the bar. Only bar snacks were available and for what I ordered I felt it was very overpriced. For example, cheese of the day was two wedges of brie, a jelly with what I assumed was bruchetta - which was terrible. And only like 5 tiny pieces of that. Me and my friends ordered multiple dishes but were disappointed. It took a very long time for most of the food to arrive (over an hour) which would have been OK if we had been warned. Left hungry and frustrated.

Our first time trying Bacareto. I'd seen the sign in the window but I feel like it is a hidden gem. I had no idea how large the restaurant was. Plenty of seating on two floor, we had a great view from our front window seats. The staff was friendly, the drinks were good, food looked amazing, we will definitely be back and highly recommend.

If you don't drink alcohol and you're vegan or vegetarian you're usually consigned to a small, dusty, unimaginative corner of the menu. Bacareto bucks that trend by having a predominantly plant based menu giving plenty of choice for those who don't eat meat. The plates are delicious and inventive (because we were close to St David's Day, Bacareto were serving Italian/Welsh fusion dishes) and we sampled 8 in total - every one a winner. The fennel-topped polenta deserves special mention but it was all great. The dishes are small so order plenty - but they're also not very expensive so you can afford to do so. Beers and small plates for two £40 - I reckon that's decent value for a busy and funky city centre bar. A note on the beer. They have Wiper and True Tomorrow on draft. If you're recently sober like we are it's difficult to express how nice it is not to be singled out and instead you can have a draft pint like everyone else. Downstairs is cosy and bustling, upstairs is a bit quieter. I'd recommend the former if there's just a couple of you for drinks and nibbles. Service was great and we would have lingered longer if we didn't have to go off to the theatre. We'll definitely come back.

My girlfriend and I had a difficult time here this evening. We were seated upstairs. Despite me putting it on the booking reservation form, the waiter had no idea about what was gluten free on the menu. He then roughly made a guess at what he didn't think contained it before we agreed he should get the allergen menu. He then came back upstairs after checking and told me he didn't bring it because it was "too complicated" and that he would just tell me what is gluten free or not. By this point, you must appreciate I couldn't put my trust 100% in him. I appreciate that you cannot guarantee something being totally gluten free, but I think even a small indication on the menu should be implemented. Accidentally eating gluten can be really dangerous for some people and I think having a greater awareness among FOH staff would go a long way. The menu formatting was difficult too. There were drinks menus on the table but no food menus- just one big one upstairs out of view of most customers. The food itself was lovely and although it took a while, we expected it to because of how busy it can get. I'm sorry to leave this review. I wanted to have a good time, but the lack of awareness around a prominent allergen in the menu is concerning.

Super service & the perfect Saturday nibble before a gig in the city centre! The only comment was inconsistency on the arancini, we ordered in the beginning and were given two balls as a portion, when we reordered we were only given one - we queried this with our server and was told it was only one per portion so I guess we were lucky with the first portion but that’s the only reason for dropping one star. Definitely recommended, the food was super fresh and the servers very friendly and accommodating.

A really nice bar enjoyed a few drinks outside. Nice calm place not crowded. Plenty of unique drinks and snacks. Not overpriced but not cheap. Food looked great but we didn't have time to stay for it

I've had a lot of carbonaras at a lot of restaurants, but this one was special. Pizza was great too. Lovely staff and we really liked the decor and atmosphere in there as well. Many thanks, will definitely be back.

Our favourite place to eat! Food is always delicious. Service is perfect. A hidden gem. Great family run place. Always need to book in advance as it’s always busy!

We recently enjoyed a meal at Pizzeria Villagio and I’d happily go back for food and recommend to others. My bruschetta starter was lovely and the pizza vegetariana was also really nice (the pizza base was perfection 👍). I like that they have Trebbiano on the wine list. The staff are welcoming and happy to chat about the food. An enjoyable meal, thank you!

The food in this restaurant is very reasonable, however a very serious training must be in place with their staff, I believe it was the manager that dealt with my table and was adressing me as if I was one of his staff and not a customer, manners are essential in hospitality.

Ordered a cake for my daughter’s first birthday party. Drove an hour each way to collect the cake, got it home stored in a cool dry place. Checked it to find the cake all slumped down, characters sliding off and all wrinkled. Contacted the shop was told to phone back in the morning. The following morning (the day of my daughter’s birthday party) spoke with someone on the phone and was told they’d make me a new one. Again drove an hour each way to collect the new cake, which meant I had to delay the time of the birthday party at short notice. The staff were not very apologetic. I asked if I could get a discount on the cake for the inconvenience, and the time and petrol I’ve wasted travelling back and forth and the fact I had to change the time of the party and inconvenience family and friends - was told no and given a pack of 2 candles, and that I’d have 20% off next time, not that I’d return again after this. Shocking customer service and poor attention to detail. Never again, ruined my daughter’s special day.
