Calabrisella Cardiff in Cardiff

Pedimos una comida para llevar de Calabrisella y su pizza, ¡fueron las peores pizzas que he visto en mi vida! Les llamamos por teléfono y la única respuesta que pudieron dar fue lamentar escuchar sobre su mala experiencia. Claramente no se preocupan por su servicio y menos aún por el producto que venden a los clientes que pagan! ¡Esto es una desgracia y deberían avergonzarse de asociarse con la auténtica comida italiana! ¡No desperdicies el dinero que tanto te costó ganar!

The food was ok, the pizza from the specials was a bit disappointing as it was smaller then the normal pizzas and just had random stuff on it, didn't really go together.

Lovely food, and very friendly and accommodating staff.

First time ordering from here tonight. Due to burst water main I thought a take away would help the situation, food was lovely, but very messy when delivered. I’m sure it’s better when you eat in. Wouldn’t order from here again BUT would try a sit in meal.

Always a first stop for me when in Cardiff, highly recommended

We've eaten at both branches of Calabrisella more than once or twice now, and it remains our favourite Cardiff restuarant. The standard menu is great, and they do some of the best pizzas this side of Napoli, but keep an eye out for the specials, because there are some incredible treats to be had......the "rolle di coniglio" is genuinely one of the nicest things I've ever eaten, and my wife declared her Italian vrsion of a mixed grill a total triumph. After three courses each we rolled out into Cathays a very happy family, carrying takeaway arancine for breakfast. We'll be back soon!

Nice place, amazing food and lovely staff as usual.

Always an amazing meal here. Staff are helpful and lovely.

Lovely food and service with great history. Many people to talk to and listen about their experiences. Food could just be a little bit less salty but overall fantastic

auténtica pizza hecha en el restaurante, copiosa ración -y deliciosa- camareros amables y profesionales. Muy recomendable.

Buena comida aquí. Legítima comida italiana en el centro de Cantón. Tuvimos una comida fabulosa en familia, incluyendo una picadura de lámpara sobre un especial de puré de batata, fantástica pizza Inferno, Strozzapreti Calabresi, berenjena parmesano y Tiramisú. Tomamos bebidas después de la cena, incluyendo Sambuca y un capuchino. Cada vez que estamos en Cardiff nos aseguramos de parar aquí. El servicio es absolutamente fantástico cada vez. Es acogedor, cómodo y de fácil acceso. Si quieres un fantástico italiano, asegúrate de parar aquí. ¡El mejor italiano en Cardiff!

Absolutely phenomenal evening meal, not many seats, so worth booking a table in advance, service was top notch they all made us feel like family. If you are considering Italian then eat here. To be honest if your not considering Italian than you should be.

Excelente y barata comida. También hay muchas opciones para los hombres. El personal también es muy agradable y servicial. Sin duda me volvería a visitar.

Excellent food and service. Fantastic! Make sure to book a table, always busy Excellent food. Thank you.

Amazing food and service at good prices, love it here!

Food is amazing authentic Italian, my little girls favourite place to eat.

Wow! What an incredible family run restaurant, this is one of those little gems that are purely amazing! Fantastic service, incredible food! Thank you guys so much, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will certainly be back! We heading over the road now to visit your gelato store too!

Service and quantity of food going down day by day,specifically with baby ice cream tub is really less quantity.

Food was amazing, Owner was lovely, staff also really attentive and polite. I visited here Friday evening and the atmosphere was lovely. I Have been here before for breakfast which was also very yummy, and now me and my partner will make this a favourite place to visit.

6 de nosotros fuimos aquí por el cumpleaños de mi madre. Estaba muy destripado porque fue mi idea ir aquí porque escuché que era agradable y vine muy recomendable. Realmente caro y me sentí estafado, pedí una cabaña que cobraron un extra de £ 2. 50 para tagliatelle. Solo ten cuidado hay un recargo encima que en una honestidad £ 28. 00 propina por el servicio que nunca habríamos pagado. Nadie se quejó en ese momento porque no queríamos molestar a mi madre cuyo cumpleaños era, pero con toda honestidad hemos aprendido una lección. Nunca volveré.

First visit for me and my hubby, to celebrate my birthday, and we'll definitely be returning. It's authentically italian in both staff, customers and atmosphere. The service was brilliant, the food amazing, and the house wine worth every penny. Reasonably priced too. The whole experience was amazing.

Gooooood this place is amazing! Authentic Italian food with homey vibe. You can learn things about Calabrian culture and traditions too. One of the best meals I’ve had during my stay in Cardiff (tip for solo travellers - check portion size before ordering or you’re in for a big ^^ surprise)

Great food, great service. Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely staff. Yummy food, unfortunately had to return aranchini as still v cold in the middle. Apologies accepted, including from the chef and food cooked again, came out piping hot second time round.

There was a large group of us, we had the room to ourselves upstairs which was great. Staff were really lovely and attentive. Food was all really good will definately come again :)

Cowbridge Rd is certainly not Cardiff's jewel. But Calabrisella Canton gets the best out of the small shop. Above all, it tastes really good. An almost perfect pizza. There are also many other unusual treats to discover on the menu.

I ordered my lunch for sharing with my colleague through Deliveroo and arrived my pizza without cutting and all toppings slide to the edge of the box. I have no utentsil to cut the pizza so I end up to have it by myself and eat a mouth of topings and a mouth of pizza bread. Having form a complaints to Deliveroo and insulting by getting 80p of refund! Order with Deliveroo mean to be a convenient meal at work, end-up no convenient and a bad exerience with my first and last order with this pizza place.

£15 for a spag boll that tasted exactly the same as Tesco ready meal for a fiver. Waited ages for takeaway not even garlic bread. For that price I was expecting better.

Top notch food and service. Absolutely brilliant

Amazing 3 course family meal upstairs. Stuffed squid exceptionally xx

The best Italian in Cardiff by far.

Fantastic. I've been living in Cardiff for just under a year and I think it's the only place I want to go back to for food. The food was amazing and well-priced. The staff were so polite and gave all the necessary information towards our time there. Food came out very fast considering we were told it was busy. There has been thought put into everything such as having frozen glasses for your beer. Will definitely return, just make sure you book in advance as there is limited seating.

We booked a table for 4. My wife, children and me first visited this restaurant for my daughter's birthday. The food and service was exceptional. We later booked a table at their Cathays restaurant. Again the food and service was exceptional. We plan to return in the near future.

Authentic Italian in the heart of canton. Great range of Italian options and the pizzas are ridiculous value for the flavour/size. Proper Italian experience

Very tasty tiramisu with friendly staff. A neighbourhood Italian restaurant, with a good quality offering

Fabulous! Nice staffs and delicious food.

All good, nice place to stay and share a pizza with friends. Attention all good, nice place overall, normal waiting time.

Feels authentic. Price great. Enjoyed the food. Not flashy just great food

Lovely authentic Italian restaurant

A delightful experience. Excellent service and food. A superb place for a family get-together and birthday celebration. They even organised a cake and light switch-off for the candles. Highly recommended.

Great food, drink and service, reasonable prices. One of my favourites

Salvatore knows how to give you the real Italian food experience. Amazing food!

Delicious. Best food we’ve had, and we’ve been here 7 months. The first place we agreed had real pizza. Incredible. Immaculate. The service was amazing too, very fast.

What a welcome and made to feel comfortable. A gem of a place. Tiramisu was out of this world.

Really nice pizza and pasta. Service was great as well, will definitely return.

Food is great at a very affordable price, staff are lovely and professional, if I may be allowed one small criticism is that the plates are cold so food cools down. I’ve eaten there a several times and would recommend it highly.

Food was great. The seating is a bit tight but the food makes up for it.

I would look at giving your staff some customer service training as they are quite rude and cliquey. They’ve no idea how to welcome new customers or generate / retain new custom. They really put me and my partner off from ever, returning. It’s always nice to try somewhere new and to have the staff laugh and joke about you in a different language right to your face.

True Italian experience in Cardiff. The staff is great, the food is great, and it all lives up to the Italian standard, with a Welsh twist. 👌

Great pizza - well worth trying if you're in the area.

There are 2 on the smae road one does amazing food the other amazing gelato

Breakfast is a mix of traditional but with an Italian twist. Nice coffee

Just unbelievable ! This is the best Italian food I’ve ever tasted. We went Rome, Naples and Pisa and nothing was near this place. The atmosphere is fantastic and always made to feel part of the family. If you have not checked it out it’s a must.

One of the best italian restaurants about spot on

nice location in canton good parking. mwah food was awesome and service great 👍 one best places eat. thanks salvo

Really good food - I had the Strozzapreti Calabresi and some cannolis to take away, which were excellent.

Great service , staff really friendly . Food was perfect. Pizza dough cooked perfectly in my garlic pizza bread . Nduja sausage pasta was amazing. Great value for money

In my opinion this is one of the best restaurants in Cardiff, definitely the best Italian. Excellent food, excellent service, and a proper community fixture.

My husband and I went for lunch at this place. They are friendly. But they charged you 10£ for service which is quite a bit. When I ordered the pasta carbonara, the waitress asked me which pasta I wanted to eat with. So I chose fettuccine pasta which charged another 2.5£ on top of the menu price. She should actually explain to us for extra charge if the fettuccine is ordered. I hope they should charge service fee for more appropriately and explain for extra charge if the customer choose different pasta. A bit disappointed about service charging and extra cost without informing us.

Fanno un caffè veramente buono,non so come si possa mangiare a pranzo e cena ma penso di sperimentarlo in questi giorni.

Absolutely gorgeous food , the staff were warm and friendly , great value will go back again and again

The best place for food and coffee :)

Very friendly staff very nice food the tirimusu is amazing and reasonably priced

Some of the most enjoyable & authentic southern Italian food I’ve had in Wales, the arancini were excellent and a great choice of pizze. Salads a little expensive for the size but very fresh. Definitely worth it overall. 9/10

Visited for the first time tonight fantastic little restaurant the food is exceptional the staff friendly and very sweet this is a must if you are in Cardiff great value for money , we had calamari to start then the seafood pasta buona amazing

Nice clean and fresh place in canton with higher recommendations

Great food with lovely staff and great value! Authentic Italian food In Cardiff with a good location just outside the city!

Excellent service, amazing pizza, pasta too. Food came very quickly . Really friendly staff. Thank you for lovely Lemoncello :). Highly recommenend.

We have visited here many times over the last couple of years, the welcome has always been friendly and the food consistently good.

A very good restaurant, wonderful staff and helpful people I recommend people to try it they do fresh food in the right time and cooked with love

Small but cosy feel to the place. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food served promptly.

Been many times and the food is always fantastic. A real fan of the breakfasts and the pizza dough is very good.

I had a very nice experience and a very good service from the staff including owner I will say to people just try and have a dinner at calabrisella canton (Cardiff)

Excellent food, great atmosphere and friendly and very accommodating staff, highly recommended! We have been going there for lunch before football for several years and never disappointed!

Have wanted to visit for a while but somehow always ended up eating in town, but spur of moment booked this the day before & no problem with booking, my partner & I went Friday & was very impressed ----staff were good & friendly, things on menu were properly explained & not disappointed with our choices------main ---- dessert & bottle of house red ----FAB ----- will be back

Excellent bolognese, friendly service. Squeezed me in for pre race pasta despite being fully booked. Thank you!!

I can't recommend it enough. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The pizza is just perfect. It's like you get in Italy. Can't say better than that. 🔥🇮🇹

Nice place, but need some renovations.

Enjoyed the coffee and tiramisu we had yesterday 😋😋😋Lovely staff too and will definitely come back to try the other cakes and Italian food😉

This is one of the few places where I’ve been “welcomed” with an eyes roll even before placing my order. Not inviting at all

One of our favourite restaurants which we keep coming back to, and introducing more family and friends to it along the way! We particularly love the breakfasts - they use such high quality ingredients making it amazing value for money. Pasta and pizza never disappoint here either! Grazie mille!

Gluten free pasta available. Very tasty Italian food and superb service.

Very tasty panino, makes a good sized lunch

Gorgeous food and attentive staff highly recommended

Can't fault this place and the people who run it. 10/10 x

Nice pizza and pasta with small cafe downstairs. More of a restaurant upstairs but same menu. Prices are reasonble.

Really great family feel to this Italian restaurant

Small place but friendly, the staff is very lovely and helpful. Food... OMG... Best carbonara I have ever tasted... finally not made with double cream and the pizzas are amazing... highly recommended. 10* stars from me

Lovely food and lovely staff and service

Been coming here for years, always good food and service!

amazing, the caprina pizza was 👨‍🍳🤌 i recommend if youre looking to try unusual (but good) combos of toppings. size of the pizza was insane, i couldnt finish it! definitely not complaining though

Fantastic food, reasonable prices, homely ambiance

Possibly the best pizza I've ever had. The Brutela was delicious - big flavours and the thinnest crust!! Can't wait to visit Cardiff again. Service was attentive and we enjoyed the rest l relaxed atmosphere. Thank you 💕

We ordered pizzas here today and they were really delicious. The waiting staff are attentive and friendly. Good value, would recommend.

Well what a place to go and have some food and drink. It is now one of our fav places to go. Especially for their breakfast. Loved the atmosphere. Will be returning on a regular basis

Love it here Always busy Gorgeous food Great prices Nice people working there

Great Italian food place.They provided exceptional service. The way the staff treated us from the moment we enter the restaurant made a huge difference in our overall experience.

Very disappointed with my take out lunch today. I often call in for a take out Parmigiana I drive 10 miles to taste one of my favourite dishes from this restaurant and the last few times haven’t been good but todays was the worst. I was charged £9.00 for a plastic tray of slop that had been nuked in the microwave. It was tasteless very little cheese, hard polenta and bland tomato sauce. I had a few bites and threw it in the bin I’m to embarrassed to take the dish back and complain. Last year the dish was a big portion of delicious tasty food so I don’t know what’s gone wrong if there’s a new chef or if they’ve started to cut corners on the produce they buy due to the cost of living. The tray it came in is much smaller than the usual ones so the portions are definitely smaller. Feel like I’ve been ripped off. Won’t be visiting again ☹️

Heard so many good things from so many people about this place. Sadly my breaded chicken was over cooked. Staff friendly, lovely ambience. Still looking to find an Italian to call my favourite. Hopefully my experience is an exception.

Really reasonably priced, fresh and tasty Italian food. Casual Cafe style setting. The arancini starter was delicious, the lasagne was fresh and a perfect size portion! The dessert was so fresh and light! The Staff were friendly and welcoming, really nice that they brought water to the table without us requesting it! Will definitely return 😊
