Belotti's Delicatessen & Coffee House in Ceredigion

This is a very friendly Italian restaurant with a varied menu. Its cakes are homemade and fresh, often with an Italian influence. I had the cheese omelet with salad and chips . The omelet is one of the best I have had. My husband had the spinach and ricotta ravioli. He really enjoyed it. The menu is very varied, so plenty to choose from.

Called for lunch today whilst on holiday in the area, friendly staff and welcome on arrival. Cafe was very cosy, clean with a nice atmosphere. My husband opted for ham/egg and chips and I chose quiche/salad and chips. Both meals were nicely presented and tasted lovely. Really good value for money too. Definitely will return when next in Cardigan

Was attracted by the pretty little garden, which was a real suntrap! Staff were friendly, the service was good and the prices were very reasonable when compared to other cafes in the area. Absolute compliments to the chef ... the cheese omelette was the best I've ever had, seriously! Perfectly cooked, and no scrimping on the cheese, which was really flavoursome. Cannot wait to go back!

A return visit for lunch while out shopping in town. As usual the food and service were wonderful. Hurry up next shopping trip to Cardigan so we can return again. Thankyou everyone

I spent a very nice time outside Belotti’s this afternoon. The staff are friendly, the food was delicious and the coffee were pretty good too. It’s a shame I live too far away from Cardigan to patronise this place, but when I do get back to the area, I’ll be paying it another visit.

went there because i had never been and wanted to try it out as i drive past there frequently on my way to work. the food was nothing to write home about, but that’s not why im writing this review. i am writing this regarding the appalling customer service i received while dining there. now im not saying that hiring young staff is a bad thing, i think its wonderful for working experience, but the way these young staff members were behaving was beyond rude. doing things such as neglecting to serve customers by chatting with eachother, and playing on their phones. once i finally got the attention of one, her attitude was beyond rude for the simple fact that i was interrupting her and her friends little gossip. i did not appreciate this and will be not be returning.

If you want the best coffee in Aberteifi, look no further. The Cappuccino is delicious and a level above. I'd go as far as saying it has the best coffee i've ever had, anywhere in the world. Looking forward to my next visit.

Here's an eatery that's definitely worth a visit. It is now a firm favourite of ours. We all had the Carbonara. It was made the traditional way with eggs and was delicious. I can't wait to have it again. Lovely coffee, too. Friendly service (despite being a colleague down) and all for a very reasonable price. A family run business that has been going for 14 years doing what it does best. Thank you.

We had a really lovely lunch at Belotti's today. Home made quiche with a side salad and some chips. The quiche was really tasty and a good size slice, not a skimpy portion. Two pieces of cake taken home for later which was also delicious. Nice, pleasant, friendly staff and the whole area was very clean. We will be back

Lovely cup of coffee. Best coffee in Cardigan. Beautiful cheese and lovely Deli items. A warm welcome from staff. Clean and tidy place to visit.

Wonderful place to have a coffee or a meal - staff are super friendly and efficient and the food is absolutely delicious - go there on a regular basis and always have had a great meal and a lovely experience.

My other half and I stopped by for some breakfast during a recent trip to Cardigan. It is not full table service in that you order and pay at the counter and then the food is brought to your table. This didn’t bother us. We both enjoyed our meals and whilst I wouldn’t say the service was ‘warm’, it wasn’t unfriendly and the staff were professional. We called in again a second time for a takeaway.

Being a fairly regular customer of Berlotti’s, mainly for takeaway coffees and sandwiches but also occasionally for eating in, I am used to the regular presence of a male staff member who appears to find it challenging to put a smile on and serve customers in a friendly manner. On our most recent visit he did, however, excel himself. We sat down as he was clearing a just vacated table, looked at the menu, made our choices and waited for someone to come to take our order. He passed our table at least 3 times, no one else was looking to order and there was no queue at the counter. After serving a customer at the counter he cleared a HP sauce bottle from a table where people were still eating, called someone on his mobile, wiped the counter, stood around, cleared another table etc etc - it was quite fascinating to watch what he would come up next to avoid taking our order, when all this time we were clearly in his line of view. So fairwell Belotti’s, that’s it. Luckily Cardigan is not short of eateries with friendly service and excellent food.

Belottis is a fantastic cafe in the middle of Cardigan. The food is always of the best standard, using beautiful fresh and highest quality produce. I have tried many of the Italian dishes and each one becomes my next favourite 🥰. The staff are friendly and polite, offering the best service and experience. A true gem. Joanna & Meirion

Another delicious lunch and dessert, served by lovely staff Wide menu to choose from, with additional specials available daily

My family and I went to Belotti's for lunch today. We ordered some hot drinks, I ordered a Pesto Pasta, my partner ordered a Carbonarra with a side of chips and we also ordered a childs portion of Carbonarra for my daughter. Before we ordered, Maria (one of the owners) warned us that there was going to be a wait on food as they were a chef down today which we didn't mind but the food came out pretty quickly regardless. They have a small play area and selection of books so that kept my daughter entertained. The food was amazing we all had empty plates at the end. The service was excellent and the price was reasonable.

Called in by chance on a wet lunchtime. We had a meat and vegetarian platter. Both very tasty. Would recommend others to come.

Waited ages then what a disappointment, ordered two pannini's for my wife and I, the filling in both was almost non existent, coffe came in a tiny cup, just catering for tourists who will never come again was our impression.

Called here for lunch today. Ordered the Belotti antipasti which was delicious. It had hummus, mixed olives, stuffed peppers, salad, subs dried tomatoes, coleslaw, fresh bread and the most delicious olive oil. Perfect for one person. Sat outside in sunshine , we could have been in Italy. Good variety in menu from snacks to pasta dishes . One of my friends had chips which were also very nice. Will definitely return.

We found this place by chance whilst visiting Cardigan. We wanted a late lunch, it was about 2.15pm and some of the places we looked at had stopped serving. Belottis serves lunch until 3pm, so fitted the bill. We had the special seafood linguine and the past bolognese. Both were delicious and filling. All the staff were delightful even though we were extending their work day. We would definitely recommend.

We pop in quite often and always have a great experience. Lovely cappuccino, tasty Italian meals and stupendous home made cakes. It is usually quite busy, no surprise its so popular, but the great staff take it all in their stride.

We popped into Belottie's in Cardigan while on holiday to treat my daughter to an ice-cream. It appeared a lovely little place and I'm sure it would indeed be if the service had been better. We ordered two ice-creams, a pot of tea and a scone then found a seat. When it was brought the waitress huffed and said; "Oh we usually leave the tables here for people eating FOOD. We usually expect others to go into the lounge." - Another huff. It was very embarrassing and awkward. There was no signage explaining this or directing a person to the lounge area. It would be beneficial for the establishment to put up a sign indicating this as it was a lovely lounge (we saw on our way to the toilet.) It was especially disappointing for us to be treated this way because it was a holiday treat for my daughter after 5 invasive rounds of surgery on her hip and 6 months in a full body cast. Therefore long periods of walking can cause discomfort for her. My advice would be for fellow visitors, look for the lounge. And my advice for business owners; invest in some signs. But until then please respect customers who may he unaware of seating arrangements.

So much nicer than going to a chain coffee shop. Busy so a bit of a wait for food, but worth it, ice cream sundaes are yum. Pleasant waiting staff.

Lovely food and great quality. Worth popping in - better than a chain! The lemon ricotta cake was delicious. Other meals looked delicious, with plenty of positive comments from other diners.

We only popped in for a quick bite as we had never been here before. Lovely tasty panini and excellent cappuccino and latte, all served by excellent friendly staff. Very enjoyable, we will be back!

Friendly welcome, seats available even though its a busy weekend. There was a 20-30min wait on food but it was clearly freshly prepared. We had 2 x Ploughman's, one ham and one cheese. Decent sized potion and delicious.

Fantastic, quality Italian food in a lovely and friendly atmosphere. With regular Specials, it’s fantastic and always tasty.

We were here for lunch as it looked very nice , we had a our hot drinks delivered instantly then waited for our Panini to arrive , they arrived and I was disappointed with the look of the brown salad leaves and tired looking tomatoes, my Panini wasn't toasted for very long and the cheese inside was not even melted ! I know staff need to train but someone should check before food is given to the customer, we were very disappointed and won't recommend a visit .

Sat out in the courtyard of this cafe. A relaxed atmosphere. A great range of food and drink choices. Plenty of vegetarian options. Helpful and friendly staff.

Excellent coffee shop with outside seating and a patio garden. Great service and friendly staff unlike other that were nearby. Excellent food and coffee and a lovely deli counter too, would highly recommend

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good safety system and very clean. Best meatballs we have ever had, superb.

The best carbonara I have ever had! Truly delicious Friendly service, beautiful food, reasonable priced Cannot fault this wonderful place! Belisimo xx

A lovely cafe located near to the castle. Exceptionally clean, professional and polite staff. Excellent coffee. Staff know about coffee and are happy to explain it's origins and methods in preparing and serving. Highly recommended.

As they call themselves a ‘Deli and coffee house’, I would have hoped the quality of produce to be a lot better. I ordered a Welsh breakfast which was swimming in oil and looked like something you’d get in a substandard greasy spoon. I thought...

So nice post lockdown to enjoy a very good cup of coffee in a china cup instead of those infernal throw away cardboard ones! We also had a piece of lemon drizzle and a flapjack. We look forward to a return visit.

Great service and wonderful food. They also have a dog friendly courtyard with some cover hidden around the back so you can enjoy a very good coffee , wonderful cake or lunch away from the traffic of the high street. We ordered panini but the...

Was soooo happy to find an authentic italian cafe. Pasta followed by coffee and cannoli. Bought some lovely bits from the deli too. Couldnt fault it, small but lovely courtyard out back as we couldnt yet dine inside.

What a great place for lunch. We had the cheese & biscuits and a ham & cheese plough man's. Massive portions , really well presented. Delicious coffee as well. Great service and value for money. If you like your cheese this is the place to...

Super friendly staff and great quality, tasty food. Excellent service. Tables well spaced out and good Covid precautions in place. Also very child friendly. Thoroughly recommend!

We sat in their garden with our dog. We had lovely tea and home made scones. The staff were very friendly and brought our dog some water.

Popped in here for lunch (were able to fit us in without a booking where many other restaurants required booking know advance). We had the bolognese and meat ball pasta and were very impressed. Tasted homemade and they were generous portions. Would recommend. Thank you.

Could not fault the booking and Covid safety procedures. As for the food - fabulous! So tasty and such generous portions. Whatever you do, don’t drive after eating Mark’s Tiramisu! Can’t recommend highly enough.....

Due to lockdown this restaurant isn't allowed to serve food inside at the moment. Being enterprising they have opened up a little courtyard in the rear of their property which is delightful. We have also had two take aways from them and they were really good. Highly recommend them for a change. It was a three course meal for two.

Wow! That has got to of been the tastiest take away for a very long time! Would share a photo but there's nothing left!

Can't rate the food high enough. We have had the best takeaway food during lookdown, all home made by Maria & Mark. Served in great little boxes and the desserts are absolutely amazing. Definitely worth a visit if your in Cardigan...HIGHLY recommended.

Delicious take away ice cream - exceptional quality served with a smile! Will return. Highly recommended.

First but definitely NOT the last visit. Amazing food, perfect portion size. Very nice staff to deal with. See you sometime soon

First time for us to try Belotti’s during lockdown and will most definitely be back again. Food was amazing and very tasty. Will definitely be recommending it to people for sure. Great welcome when we came to pick it up and very friendly lady serving us. Keep up the good work, amazing!

Me and my friends stopped by to grab lunch and some coffee. The place looks very nice and has many unique features I really appreciated such as the mural in the lounge area, Italian produce you can buy and funky salt and pepper shakers. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu as there were many enticing options. Would recommend if you're in the area!

We were in the area to celebrate my lovely ladies birthday and decided to drive the short distance to cardigan from where we were staying, we had a good walk around cardigan and came across Belottis which not only serves hot food but amazing dessert treats aswell. The welcome and ambiance of this little gem makes it a must when visiting Cardigan, we recommend the chocolate coated christmas tree shortbread and definitely the pistachio/cranberry biscotti. Thank you for from Gethyn/Tracy

We visit four times a year whenever we are in Cardigan and make a point of stopping for lunch. Pasta and pizza dishes are very good, as are the main course salads. We always wish we had room for pudding but often don't. The ice cream and coffee are delicious. It's nice to see an independent doing well in a town centre.

Stopped in for a coffee and cake (it was raining!) but looking at the menu we would return for more a substantial meal next time we visit the town. Excellent and friendly service.

On a visit to Cardigan decided to have some food and being that we had visit Belotti for coffee a few weeks ago thought we would try them for food . Not a very good idea !! We decided to have a breakfast each as it was only about 11 am The sausages tasted terrible, bacon hardly cooked and if it was cooked properly it would have been nice as it was good quality bacon, and mushrooms was floating in oil , so basically we will not be visiting there again .

Me and wife visited (who has coeliac disease) and she was over the moon to have gf scone with cream and the tea also came with a gf biscuit - this is the first time my wife has been given a gf biscuit with a hot drink. It was very reasonably priced and no extra cost for the gf. Well done and a lovely drink - thank you

We popped in for a quick coffee and snack - our baguettes were first class. Real tasty, and with quality coffee

Parking just down the hill before the restaurant on the river bank. I like this place and use it frequently. You can buy authentic Italian Deli goodies, as well as ice creams, to take out and there are shelves full of different pastas, biscuits and Italian cakes etc. Good place to eat and browse for a gift, especially at Christmas. Daily specials board, and a comprehensive menu, in the colder months the home made soups are to die for, with a hunk of crusty bread.One complaint, don't like the overflow coffee lounge bit as there is no window to look out of, and only 1 cramped toilet. Usually clean though.The breakfasts are in 3 different sizes to suit all appetites, and you can take away most things and coffees. Meals light and heath, but filling. Antipasti dish delicious. Nice coffee, not bitter. Free paper to read. and art on the walls can be purchased.Can get busy especially as coaches drop off 20 yards up the road. Order food and drink at counter.Staff friendly, but seem engrossed in their tasks with little interaction, apart from 1 person who is very attentive, and obviously enjoys his job.

Having spent an excellent time at the Castle we wondered around the town and sadly the place we wanted to eat had stop serving so we walked back up the high street and this place was open. Well the welcoming was poor, the service was as poor and the food was just as poor. I ordered a ham and pineapple panini .... it was awful.. wet panini bottom no butter and very little ham and pineapple... clearly not toasted. J had a tuna baguette which was ok but the tuna mayonnaise was swimming in mayonnaise or salad cream to make it too watery. Just not good enough and when we left having said 'thanks and goodbye' (goodness knows why we bothered) not a dickie bird. So nope don't bother as clearly more places to eat in the town than that excuse of an eatery. Sorry but you need to up your customer relationship training & the food. This is only the 2nd not so good review I have done since 2014

We make a point of visiting Belotti`s whenever we are in the area, and June 2019 was no exception. Relaxed dining, always good. Gets a little crowded at times, but that`s to be expected.

After walking round Cardigan town centre searching for somewhere to eat our lunch, we stumbled upon Belotti's. From the spacious interior to the enticing deli counter we were immediately impressed. Once seated it didn't take long for us to be bowled over by the wide variaty of dishes on the menu, from traditional Welsh breakfasts to Italian pasta and pizza dishes, not to mention a mouth watering selection of other sandwiches, salads and platters.

This cafe/restaurant situated at the beginning of the high street in Cardigan,keep an eye open for it on the left hand side as you come up past the Castle, is an eatery which you need to try. Be it a snack or a meal, I have yet to be disappointed. Have called on my own , and enjoyed poached eggs on toast and coffee, this week with the wife for an omelette with salad, and a Carbonara and bacon , both were delicious.

Lovely lunch menu. Fresh authentic food. Pricey but worth it. Pasta and some mains are small on portion size. Lovely staff.

always pop in here for coffee before leaving cardigan nice place and not over priced 2 lattes 2 small hot chocolates and one large hot chocolate £10.40 each one is sereved with a little biscuit which please the kids

We have been to this fab cafe for lunch before, so when hubby wanted a really good cup of coffee whilst returning home from a road trip, this was the obvious choice. He wasn’t disappointed by the coffee and we shared a piece of lovely carrot/orange cake. The usual friendly service. We will be back.

Can’t fault the food. Tasty pasta dishes, panini, all day breakfasts, lovely pizzas. Minuses are the decor is a bit dated and the service can be really slow when it’s busy.

Nice atmosphere and good selection of food. We loved we could get Italian produce as well. We were visiting from out of town and was a nice visit.

Visited many times. Can some of the best in town. Never disappointed by the food, excellent choice and excellent quality. Staff always helpful. I make a point of visiting this establishment, at least once every time I'm in the area.

Stumbled upon this little piece heaven. My boyfriend and I both throughly enjoyed our breakfast. Sausages were lovely and then we tasted the bacon, totally yummy. The atmosphere was homely and comfortable and the staff were welcoming. Try this place if you are in cardigan. Only wish we were staying closer so could sample the Italian menu.

Had a lunch here and would definitely go back. The soup was amazing and the sandwich was a good size on good bread. Staff were helpful and friendly and the atmosphere chilled. The café area is part of the deli and so you get to hear the chat of the locals as they come in which was surprisingly relaxing. We didn’t make it as far as the deserts but the pictures looked incredible. The menu caters for both vegetarians and vegans. The deli itself was also very good with a nice selection of cheese and olives when we were there. Worth a visit.

Wide selection of foods from baguettes to pizza. Nice delicatessen too. Very good service. Food was delicious 😋

Excellent lunchtime food the omlette is superb. Staff excellent and very helpfull. The cooffe is very good

The meal and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend. We had a pasta dish which was delicious. Beautifully presented . Relaxed atmosphere.

me and my partner went for lunch really enjoyed it , we had a cheese ham toastie, cheese onion toastie and 2 cokes really nice , friendly staff, very clean , nice lay out inside , lovely clean tables . will deffinately be visiting again , thank you all

I visit this place at least once a week. Fruendly staff, good food excellent coffe. Clean and attractive. Well worth a visit.

If you want lunch in Cardigan then I can't imagine that there is anywhere much nicer than Belotti's. Surroundings, service and good all exceptional. Good mix of Italian and English meals and snacks to choose from. Good value for money.

A great selection of coffees and a choice of Italian or Welsh food in a warm, friendly atmosphere. Suitable for both families and couples. Has a great deli too with lovely fresh produce.

Always good service here, the coffee is good and not at rip off prices - unlike some other establishments in Cardigan.

My wife and i ate here for a hearty breakfast.Nice meal,good and friendly service.Prices very reasonable,the only complaint was it was a bit cold inside other than that ,great!

First class cafe and deli, very good products. Friendly staff, the food was fabulous, nothing to much trouble. Well worth a visit.

Delicious ice cold frappes. Popped in one day for a Ice cold drink on a hot day. Boy it didn't disappoint. Delicious, freshly made topped with squirty cream. 👌👌

Lovely helpful staff, made me an excellent gluten free sandwich to take out. Would highly recommend a visit to this Delicatessen and Coffee House for either take out food or inhouse dining.

Lovely arrabiatta and homemade lasagna plus paninis and nice coffee. There's a hidden room to the left if the front area is busy.

Lunch visit for a sandwich. Decor is wonderful and the food freshly made. Recommended. Caution they only take cash. Fortunately not far from a Lloyds cashpoint.

Visited today with my partner and young baby for the second time in a couple of weeks. It really is one of the best places around for food. The salads and pasta dishes are just fantastic and the coffee is good too. We will definitely keep going back to sample lots of other things on the menu.

Had lunch here with my partner a few days ago and it was really, really good!

Stopped here for a “fuel stop” prior to heading for the M4, and what a fabulous find! Comfy chairs, very tasty food, proper coffee, proper fried bread and great service. Recommended!

A very pleasant place for a coffee and a cake. Nice environment, excellent coffee and cakes, friendly service.

Called into Cardigan to get tyres for the car and walked up town to grab a quick cuppa late in the afternoon. Although just short of closing i was happily served a cup of tea and some scones which was very nice. However, no hot food available but given within a few mins of closing cannot complain. Friendly and polite service.

Friendly welcome every visit from both the owners and the staff. Excellent coffee and food in very pleasant surroundings. A regular stopping off spot after a bit of shopping. They also serve excellent breakfasts, lunches and snacks and cater very well for vegetarians. Well worth a visit.

This was our first visit to Belotti’s Coffee House.

Plenty of choice on the menu.Have been twice for a cooked breakfast, it was stunning. Very good value for money,good quality food,can’t fault it at all. Will definitely go back to try something else on the menu.

Went in and decided on their fried lunch. Bacon was excellent and the same for the free range eggs. The coffee could have been larger but that is a minor quibble.

Scones, butter & jam always were a favourite, but I've not found good gluten-free ones anywhere else. Good selection of coffee syrups. Always a friendly service. Molto bene! Grazie. Diolch, hyfryd iawn.

Stumbled across this cafe/shop and we we're drawn in by the free wifi (sad I know).

Had a lovely late afternoon snack here.

Trip up to here for a run out from Pembroke at least every two weeks. Have the same thing each lunchtime, truffle pasta with bacon bits, mostly on 'special' and less than £8 for a lovely meal. The only other thing we have is coffee and that's good and hot as well.

I like to be fair about all things in life, so I will begin by saying that at least the food at Belotti's is reasonable. However, this review is more about the standard of service than it is about the quality of the food. I have been into this establishment on a number of occasions. I have to say that the welcome is appalling. It is as though you are a stranger to them. Only one member of staff has any personality, and he is usually only popping into the customer area to deliver the food from the kitchen. The rest of the staff are at best, bland. They are uninterested in delivering any kind of customer service and this across the board attitude, does nothing to invite a customer back. If you're happy to accept no interaction from the staff at all and just want a reasonable meal then this place is okay. However, don't expect to be made to feel appreciated as a customer but rather, taken for granted!!

We enjoyed the sandwich and then were tempted by the cake to have coffee and linger a while longer. Service was good. Pleasant place to escape the tourist frenzies.

Real treat to visit Belotti's. The coffee is wonderful, great atmosphere and fabulous food. Just the place to stop for a break.

The meal took a very long time to arrive. Chips were lovely - rest (ham and egg) mediocre. Tables close together and quite crowded. A café rather than a restaurant but reasonable value.

Stopped here for coffee and cake. Efficient and friendly service. Delicious coffee and orange and almond cake. Highly recommended!
