Beautiful meal from the set menu for my husband and I. The calzone was so filling and delicious but the Mozzarella Arancine was just amazing! The staff were very attentive and welcoming. We look forward to visiting for another meal very soon!

Lovely restaurant, delicious food, friendly, helpful staff. Good vegetarian and vegan options. However, it was during a warm, sunny few days and we were a large group, seated upstairs, and it was unbearably warm. Thankfully a friend had a handheld fan i borrowed. If a fan can't be installed at the very least all windows need to be open to create a flow of air (they were finally all opened much later in the evening, which helped but a tad late). Still recommended for food and hospitality! :-)

The food was okay, had a clazone, was slightly undercooked. The service was pretty poor, slow and poor quaility. The atmosphere was poor as other tables were also affected by the poor service. Probably won't go again, plenty of other options in the Neath Port Talbot area.

Can't say enough good about this restaurant. The food, service, and atmosphere were top notch. Even though we were simply passing through as tourists from America, the owner made a point to talk to us for a long time and even gave us a free dessert to show he appreciated us choosing his restaurant. Highly recommend for great, authentic Italian food. The lasagna was incredible.

Bella Ciao is absolutely stunning. We made the reservation a few days ago which was super easy to do on the website. The staff are so polite and lovely and really made sure we had everything we needed. The service was timed perfectly and the food was out of this world. The flavours, presentation and taste were all stunning! We we're rolling home by the time we left. It was out first time there today but certainly will not be the last! It made my birthday even better. I can't wait to go again 😊

Myself and my Mum had the 12 Hour Slow Cooked Lamb Shank with mashed potato and red wine sauce as it was on the Chef's Specials and it was simply divine. I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone. Very attentive service from start to finish!

My only complaint was I didn't have my portabello mushroom with my steak. Apart from that all the food we ordered was impeccable. Ideal for a romantic dinner. To take anyone you'd like to impress. Money wise it's not cheap, but you pay for what you get don't you. I thought it was very reasonable for the extremely high quality of food received. Highly recommend a visit, guarantee you'll re visit.

I visited Bella Ciao yesterday evening for a belated birthday meal with friends. This was my 1st visit, and I will definitely be returning. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and is clean and nicely presented. It was quiet when we arrived but then got busier as the evening progressed but not too crowded. The staff were very hospitable and friendly, offering good advice and explanation of dishes. The food was absolutely delicious, probably the best meal I've had for a while. I had the Cacio e pepe, which was prepared table side. It was delishiously creamy, beautiful seasoned, and not too overpowering, certainly a dish I will try again. It paired very well with the Pane e aglio pizza (garlic bread), which was thin and crispy and not at all heavy. I really wanted to try their desserts, but the food was so good I had to finish every bite and was too full after my main. If you enjoy authentic Sicilian and Italian food, you must visit here.

I have been to this restaurant many times some years ago, it’s was a regular place to eat as the plaster is homemade and feels very authentic, Italian. The food remains wonderful so fresh, hit and tasty and plenty of it. However the service was very disappointing, a young lad bent over the table to serve rather than walk around, he clearly had no training… not his fault I’m sure, we sat with empty drinks for so long and it felt as though we couldn’t gain eye contact with any servers. The food came out at different times and my son had finished his meal before the rest of us had any food. My bolognaise had no meat and hardly any sauce, just awful today sorry. My husband ordered rump steak med/ rare and arrived med/ well and looked like it was dragged from the back of the fridge, he sent this back and decided not to eat there and just sat while we ate. However in their defence it was busy as there was a food festival on town that day. I felt a little embarrassed that I’d recommended the place as we had visitors from Australia in our group. So disappointed.

Both of us enjoyed each other's company in such a great setting. I would highly recommend this beautiful Italian to anyone who's looking for a true taste of Italy. Bella Ciao Thank you!

Food wasn’t great, lacked flavour. But it’s great to see that any notion of negativity in a review of this place is met with argumentative and patronising commentary from who I assume is the owner. Also, the toilets could do with a clean. I’m going to assume I’ll be told the toilets are cleaned regularly and I’m wrong for having this opinion. (Possibly saved the owner time by commenting on my own feedback, maybe use that time to clean the toilets, cobwebs suggest they aren’t cleaned very often)

Very limited menu, but lovely food. Desserts ended up being the best part, and looked gorgeous. 3 courses each and a couple of drinks came to around £54, so quite reasonably priced too. Personally, we might struggle to visit again quickly, only due to the limited menu. If it were to be expanded, we'd possibly make this a regular stop.

Starters and accompaniments were amazing. Opted for the chefs recommendation of Sword fish for the main course, not something I would normally order. In fact, don’t normally order fish when I go out for a meal. I was not disappointed. Had to have the tiramisu for dessert. Well it is an Italian after all !!

Food was nice but some of it was over salted in particular the garlic bread, great way for them to get you to buy more drinks no doubt. No veg with any of our meals, used to having at least peas with a steak. Overall a satisfactory experience.

Great modern interior, small but impressive. Had a spot of lunch with my mum, good value for money . Food was well presented tasty and modern yet with an element of Welsh culture. The Cawl was a good serving with warm crusty bread and Welsh ‘shirgar’ salty butter. The chorizo sausage roll was delicious , with a fresh side salad and zingy tomato chutney. There was a relaxed pleasant ambience and most important the stadf were pleasant and helpful. Will definitely return.

After being let down by another venue in town we decided to try the Juniper Place part of the Welsh House. Absolutely love the vibe in here; the decor, staff, great music. We had Cocktails and Pizzas. I have to say the pizzas were to die for! It's hard to find a good Calzone these days but mine was out of this world. Big shout out to Noah. I can't remember if I gave him a tip or not. I hope I did. He was fabulous as was the lovely young man behind the bar with the long hair and glasses. They made our night.
