Casa Bianca Pontypridd in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Great food and relaxed atmosphere. Definitely going back to go through the whole menu.

Excellent food & service! Starters, Mains & Dessert were incredibly tasty. Lovely atmosphere, and reasonably priced menu. Giuliano's hospitality was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Would definitely recommend

We visited today to celebrate ourweddimg anniversary. The meal was delicious and the service was great. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back. Was going to leave a good review anyway, but we especially wanted to as we never carry cash and we couldn't add it to the bill. We felt so guilty I wanted to make sure I said how lovely this place is straight away 🥰

Best Italian i have been to. Starter, main and dessert all exceptional standard. Cant wait to go again. Staff are friendly and very helpful.

Good food , good service , nice cosy italian restaurant would definitely recommend this place to friends

Booked in for Mother's Day. Food OK. Service slow. Prices OK.

Lovely service from our waitress Cara, nice food came quick. 5/5 stars for the waitress Cara

My experience this evening at the restaurant was well above my expectations. Service was fast and friendly. The presentation of the food was fantastic and tasted fantastic too. The waiter that served us (Tom) was very friendly and was very enthusiastic in the way he interacted with us. Made us feel very valued as customers. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

Fab little gem of a place. Food was amazing.

Excellent food & service, the staff and chef were super friendly. Very relaxing & cosy atmosphere, our first time visiting but we will definitely be returning!

The restaurant has been decorated upstairs it’s absolutely free clean and lovely. The staff are amazing cannot do enough for us and the meal well what do one say it was amazing every one was happy. The food was delicious will definitely be back thank you. X

Late mother's day lunch with mam and daughter. Loads of choice on the menu and the food we had was delicious and good size portions. We will definitely coming back.

Always fantastic food. Great staff who are very accommodating. Beautiful restaurant upstairs.

Visited with work colleagues midweek. 8 of us. Food was amazing. Everyone enjoyed it. Staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely go again.

Great for all the family i went on my birthday and everything was amazing! 🤩 Food 👌 especially desert, come to this place i repeat COME TO THIS PLACE 5 STARS.

Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend. We came on Friday evening 28th for a joined birthday party. We precooked months ago and paid a 10 pound deposit. On arrival there was no one to welcome us. We knew we were going to be sat upstairs so we made our way up. We were greeting upstairs by a lovely lady who sat some of us down and took our drinks order......when everyone came we had our starters, which were lovely. We still had not had our drinks when the meal meals came out. This was very disappointing. When I went to tell the young lady she apologised and bought some of our drinks but not all. In the end we cancelled our dessert and asked for the bill. It was very frustrating. The manager did come to see us and offered the drinks to be discounted which was something. The whole experience has put me of going there again the food was lovely but service shocking.

Rang to collect an order for asap and food was ready upon arrival. Location is great. The restaurant itself had nice decor and friendly staff. Pizza tastes great too. Would visit again if in the area.

Our first visit to Casa Bianca and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food was excellent and the wine and drinks were a good price. Look forward to returning.

Lovely food ,good service quite expensive

A little gem in Pontypridd , thoroughly enjoyed the quality of food and service. Atmosphere was fantastic and quality of wine offered by the glass was spot on

Food was nice, service was atrocious! It was busy but surely you make provisions for how many are booked in. We were a table of 4 but seemed to get neglected over other tables. Was not asked how the food was or if any more drinks required. Would have had desert and more drinks but got fed up of waiting!

We were a little cramped downstairs as quite a large party of 10. When upstairs was empty. But we made do and enjoyed it

Nice Italian, small cosy atmosphere, very nice food and that's what's important.

Food was really good (tomato sauces had plenty of flavour), cosy atmosphere and great service

Delicious food and impeccable service.

Beautiful authentic italian food and atmosphere, Highly recommend!

Fabulous food. We especially loved the shared starter: antipasti alle pesce.

Starters were good, hit and miss on the mains (my risotto was more sauce than rice, pizzas had far too much sauce which resulted in a soggy base), desserts were ok, we ordered the mixed berry panacotta, the pannacotra was nice but the cheap strawberry sauce spoilt the dish. We found it expensive for what it was. I think there are other restaurants I would prefer to go to before this one.

Oh dear, where to start? I had the scallops starter, at £13 I was expecting 2 or 3 queen scallops, or 5 normal size. I got three tiny ones, the diameter of pennies. They were cooked alright, but these are West End of London prices! Partner had the Caprese, the cheese was old and hard, the tomatoes were just out the fridge, too cold, and tasteless. It's only two ingredients, and no cooking involved. This is really bad. My lamb shank mains was small, but lots of potatoes (cos they're cheap) which were not nice in both taste and texture, and were left uneaten. The "red wine sauce" was plain old packet mix gravy, thick with monosodium glutamate (I could taste it) and quickly congealed on the plate. My partner ordered the "peppercorn sauce" with hers and it was exactly the same sauce, "just add boiling water" crud. Note to chef; a peppercorn sauce is supposed to be CREAMY, WITH PEPPERCORNS!! She sent it straight back. The food is on a par with a Toby Carvery, and not unlike a Tesco ready-meal, but priced like a Michelin star restaurant. Skipped dessert and bought a Magnum on the way home, basically to get rid of the taste of the monosodium glutamate, that was the highlight of my evening out. On the countertop, when we were paying (or being robbed), there was a tray with a bowl of ready grated parmesan. On the same tray was a bottle of table cleaner (disinfectant spray) with the cleaning cloth hanging over the bowl of parmesan. I can only think that the good reviews on here are coming from the staff, the owners, or people whose only experience of eating out is a kebab shop or McDonalds. We told the chef all of this and he was sheepish, evasive and plainly didn't want to know. He certainly didn't care. So, if you would like to spend good money on an Italian meal, I can recommend a place in Llandaff called Porro. They actually make their food in the kitchen, not just microwave catering supplies, and packet mix ingredients.

Beautiful food although canneloni was slightly dry and needed more sauce. Lovely atmosphere and staff were nice but we were left long periods without being asked if we wanted any drinks etc inbetween. Drinks very expensive, £9 large wine and friend got charged £11 for double gin and lemonade ( £4 each for gin measure and £3 for no more than quarter glass lemonade on top ) we did ask and were told same price for full glass as is a large dash. Pricey for a double gin in a local restaurant.

Very small place when its busy you just can't move around because everything so tightly pushed in together quite expensive my food pleasant but went cold quite quickly cost 140 pounds thats with a tip just 4 main meals very basic no extras and 3 lagers

Really nice place, food was great and the restaurant is lovely. A little out of the way, but well worth the effort of finding. Can't recommend highly enough

I been there first time. Really tasty food. Nice staff. 100 % recommended. Definitely i back there.

Beautiful food and a lovely environment. Dined upstairs for the first time too.

Nice place, good service. No grumbles on the food but there wasn't any wow factor.

Once again, great food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Can't wait to visit again.

Quiet on a Sunday afternoon but great food and wonderful staff. Definitely worth a visit, pizzas are excellent 👍

First time coming and it did not disappoint. Diamond of a place. Food was beautiful .

Disgusting restaurant. Me and my partner visited 13/10/24. We get inside and my partners chair collapses from underneath her ! Falling on an already injured side and arm and she hurt her elbow badly. Chair not properly put together. We were not offered an apology in any way shape or form. No one from management came to talk to us or help. The broken chair was left on the floor for 10 minutes as there was no one around to ask for help or to get another chair for us, we had to do this ourselves. Also expected to then pay full price at this shambles of an establishment. Do not visit if you want to stay safe and unharmed. Will be making a claim. Horrible place.

Fantastic evening! Hearty, home cooked Italian food!

Lovely food excellent service and must be a go go

This restaurant gives the impression of being a cozy, family-run spot, though it’s part of a franchise chain. The ambiance and service were good, but the food was just average for the price. They do offer a nice range of cocktails, which adds to the experience, but expect a meal that’s more “fine” than fantastic. Also, a simple touch like iced water could have improved the dining experience P.S. you’ll need to park in a nearby street that has 2 hour parking limits

Lovely atmosphere good service and food

Lovely! Staff could not have been more helpful. Service was great. Food was delicious! Will definitely be back!

Great restaurant with excellent food. Service was a little off tonight.

Without a doubt. The best restaurant meal iv had. The food and atmosphere was divine. Every bite got me vibing to the music. Having Italian heritage I believe my ansestors were pleased of the pure sublime flavours. Will be going back

Visited this restaurant for the first time, as a group of 4 on bank holiday Monday. We were really impressed with the food, especially the Gambas and Calamari to start. Mains were superb, the Calzone was incredible and our pasta dishes were great. We received brilliant and quick service. The bill was very reasonable. We will be back. Thank you!

I'd heard of Casa Bianca, but I've not tried it until recently. I wasn't disappointed.. We were met at the door to be seated by a lovely and pleasant young lady who kindly showed us to our seats. Drink orders were taken, and then after, we were given a short while to look at the menu our food order was taken. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take photos of all of our meals, although they all looked and tasted absolutely fabulous. I had the pork tomahawk steak, which is shown in the photo. It really did taste amazing. It melted in my mouth, other dishes which were ordered, lasagne, carbonara, bolognaise, margarita pizza and a chicken dish. Everything both looked and tasted very amazing. The prices were reasonable, not too expensive. I will certainly be going back. I would also highly recommend Casa Bianca to anyone. There is only one drawback and that is the lack of parking facilities. Finding somewhere to park can be a bit of a pain.

Food: Excellent, both my partner and I had the Salisicca pizza and Garlic Pizza with cheese. Beautiful. Place is lovely and cosy with polite staff and a calming atmosphere. Would happily recommend and return.

Bit of a shambles really. We'd pre-ordered a week in advance as part of a large group (including two vegans and one lactose-intolerant) only to turn up to find that they didn't have vegan cheese. Ironically one of our party nipped to sainos to get some, which helped out. Perhaps it was busier than expected with the Eisteddfod but that's not really an excuse for a restaurant of this size not to have procedures in place to ensure that it could cook what had been ordered a week in advance. Once it arrived the food was good, although some in the party were unimpressed with theirs. The waiters did their best amid the chaos, but it was disappointing that neither management nor the chef offered any kind of personal apology or explanation.

Super busy during Eisteddfod '24. Will visit again even though this was the place my now wife tricked me into marrying her.

Had the beef short ribs and they were superb.

Best Italian food I've had in a while! Nice, relaxing atmosphere, absolutely delicious, authentic and reasonable food and excellent customer service. Carbonara was fantastic! Highly recommend!

Popped in on the off chance after getting of the bus from Cardiff. Just wanted a quick meal. I had gluten free spaghetti Bol and husband had Diavalo pizza. Both were stunning. So tasty. Husband said it was one of the best pizzas he’s ever had. No issues providing gf alternatives. Will try a gf pizza next time. Thoroughly recommend

Excellent. Never been before but took the decision to visit after redding a few X or twitter comments. So glad we did. Nothing too much trouble. Excellent service which was perfectly attentive without being bothersome. Great food and reasonable prices. No wonder it was busy but all added to the great atmosphere. Will absolutely return.

We’ve been here multiple times and the food has always been very tasty and high quality. When I had friends visiting I didn’t hesitate to book a table here due to our previous experiences and the notes on the menu that say most dishes can be adapted to be Vegan. Sadly after ordering we were informed that they had very few vegan options as they had no vegan cheese. We managed to find a few options that were workable but it was a disappointing experience. The food was still of the same high quality but the options did not match the advertisement.

Great experience. Was served by a young lady called ellie who was very lovely and polite. Asked us if everything was okay and if we wanted anything else. 10/10 service i highly recommend

The food was outstanding and the service was very friendly

Lovely food and atmosphere, plus good service! I’ve been twice now and both times the pasta was great. The cheese cake was also delicious I would definitely recommend. Will for sure be back for a third time.

What a great Italian. Just called in and luckily had space. Food was amazing we both had carbonara. Also had a garlic cheese pizza bread to go with it which was huge couldn't finish it. Great atmosphere and service well worth a visit

Truly amazing food. Not the cheapest but quality. Perfect for a special.occassion. House wine ,superb! If your in Ponty, not too be missed, superb!

Amazing meal, best I have had in a long time 👍

Loved it great food great atmosphere and the service was amazing 👏

Excellent food, excellent service Would definitely recommend

Excellent food and service xxx booked again last night and brilliant service, atmosphere and beautiful food

Absolutely gorgeous place. Had an amazing meal with my girls. Highly recommend!

Excellent venue,varied menu with superb food Very friendly and helpful staff and a great night out! Was placed upstairs and would recommend it for special occasions!

Excellent experience,very friendly welcome and staff,varied menu and would personally recommend the lamb No hesitation in return,ideal for couples or special occasions

My friend and I had a great experience here. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. The addition of a magician to entertain guests after our meal was really enjoyable. We will definitely be back!

What a surprise to find a restaurant of this quality on our doorstep, the decor and staff are so welcoming, the service was brilliant, we started with the calamari and the mussels both beautifully cooked, seasoned and delicious my with then went for a chicken dish and I ordered the seafood pasta, the chicken was amazing, and the seafood was the best I’ve ever tried, mussels, king prawns, clams, squid, and the pasta was so good. The wine was of a very good standard too. And the magician just topped the night off. A first class experience, not to be missed

Cozy and friendly Italian in Pontypridd. Extensive menu with good veggie options, reasonably priced and smart interiors. Nice for a special occasion.

Had lunch with friends, the food was excellent. I had white bait, which was cooked perfectly. Calzone for main absolutely stuffed and full of flavour. Great desert. The staff are really friendly and helpful.

First visit here celebating our wedding anniversay and was very pleased with our experience. Very good choice of food and the restaurant was full showing how popular it is. The food was very good and so was the atmosphere. Would recommend.

Had one drink . Waited for starters , had starters had to ask to order more drinks , in the middle of main meal still no drinks , no water available, had to go up to the bar staff and when she came over eventually stomping her feet stood ubove us as is we were a nuisance, one drink no water , during meal

Went there for a family birthday. The food was really enjoyable but the service left a lot to be desired. We consistently asked the waitress to order drinks told 3 times they would be back to take the order, which they failed to do until we asked for the forth time after waiting nearly an hour. When she finely came over she had attitude and an eye roll. The final straw was when we were told we hadn't paid the full bill but after realising it was their mistake no apology was made. The food was really good the service shockingly awful

Warm, clean & comfortable place in which to dine at your leisure. Attentive staff but not overly so. Very decent menu choices, wine likewise. We had 2 starters, 2 steak mains with 1 side dish, 2 desserts, 2 coffees, a bottle of wine & a coke which all came in at £120. All delicious. Much more space since they opened to top floor dining area which was very nice. Recommend anyone to try this restaurant.

We went here for a Saturday lunchtime treat and we were not disappointed. We were surprised how busy it was and we hadn't booked, but they found us a table. The staff were excellent really friendly and informative. There is a very wide selection on the menu and we chose starters and then one fish and one meat dish both beautifully cooked. We recommend Casa Bianca to all our friends for the quality of food at a good price, although we did think the wine may have been a little expensive. Highly recommend though!

Really lovely food and very reasonably priced, we were a family of 4 and each chose something different from the menu, ranging from rib eye steak, calzone and the fish of the day (sword fish) can't wait to return 👍

The experience of dining at Casa Bianca was a night that i will be sharing with my friends, superb food and the wine was excellent.

Amazing food! Great atmosphere and entertainment. I've been looking for a nice local Italian for a while!

I had never heard of this restaurant before but I will definitely come back here again. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, we were looked after exceedingly well. The staff couldn’t help enough and the food once ordered came quickly and was so good. We each had different meals and we sampled them all. Very lovely place tucked away but easily found. Oh and I have to say a big thanks to the magician who entertained us also, a very lovey touch.

Great! Lovely Italian food with a wide selection on the menu. Plenty of vegetarian and GF options. It was quite busy when we visited so we had to wait for table service and had to approach the counter to get the bill as we had public transport to catch and didn't have time to chill/relax after our food, but otherwise faultless, will be happy to return for another meal as the food was delicious and the portions were a good size.

Beautiful setting, cosy and lovely decor. The wine and drinks are delicious and a number of great choices. The food was outstanding all 4 us had something different and it was all cooked to perfection. There was a lovely added bonus of Jason doing some card tricks which entertained us to no end! We our enjoyed our evening immensely and we are already booked to come back with our family this weekend 😍

Booked to go for a meal with a group of friends. Food was absolutely delicious. Service was amazing. Alfred was friendly and accommodating. Went upstairs after food to sit at the new bar for a cocktail. Service was quick and friendly. When sitting at the bar for our drinks was entertained by the card tricks performed by Jason. Would definitely go again and would recommend.

A lovely evening meal, a big choice and very reasonably priced. Nothing too much trouble for the staff. A very nice relaxed meal.

Absolutely gutted, had a table booked for 7pm, turned up at 6:50, asked to go to the bar as table wasn't quite ready. Rammed at the bar, people already complaining, by 7:15 told table was ready and to head back down stairs only to be greeted by a table of 6 still waiting to be seated.... 7:20, cancelled our reservation. We loved Casa Bianca for its intimate setting, sadly, in our opinion the expansion has not worked, such a shame, bigger is not always better 😞

Amazing food lovely staff service amazing try it

Love romantic enviroment created at restaurant. Staff are amazing. Food was delightful

Beautiful food and huge potions! Had the swordfish and then tirimasu for dessert, will definitely return. Nice defo and friendly staff

Very disappointing Valentine’s meal! My partner and I had to wait around 45 minutes for a mediocre ‘pre-starter’, then almost as long again, for the actual starter. When the mains finally arrived, they were cold and had to be sent back. A couple adjacent to us, also had to send their food back. £60 per head for a hugely restricted menu and shambolic service. The waitress, although polite, had to be helped to uncork the wine! Although a cramped restaurant before expansion, the whole experience on V day felt impersonal, underwhelming and that it was very badly managed.

Good food , extensive menu choices , however it's a very small space to eat - narrow and slightly intrusive. Staff polite and friendly.

The worst dining experience ever. The table was booked at 19:30. The table was not ready on arrival and spent 15 mins waiting at the bar. We were understanding of this as it was busy due to it being valentines evening and we could see...

Double the prices & halve the choices. There you have it, the Valentine's day 'special'. Don't get me wrong this is a very nice place to eat/drink on a 'normal' evening. £50 a head for a 3 course meal that had small portions was not...

I was slightly disappointed that there was only the Valentine menu available with minimum 3 course. As I booked table online there was no mention of set menu unless you viewed all menus. Whilst waiting a few couples left when they discovered this was the only menu but when another group complained they were offered the normal menu after we had already ordered. If I had known would have opted for main menu but after being told only the set menu was available chose this option. Overall the food and service was lovely but felt that we should have been given option for main menu.

Ended up here yesterday (Sunday lunchtime) with my husband. We live nearby but had never heard about it! The building and decor was so lovely. The staff were brilliant, friendly & attentive. Sooooo much choice on the menu, lots for veggie & vegans too. The...

First time visiting Casa Bianca in Pontypridd. The outside certainly does not do it justice. Inside the decor is beautiful, staff are super friendly and the food was absolutely amazing, the starter of cheese garlic bread was huge and one not to be missed! We...

5 out of 5. Beautiful food big portions. Welcoming and friendly service will be returning again. Plenty of choice and good value for money. If ordering Garlic bread it is a pizza size enough for 2 to share. Ate up stairs newly opened

Really lovely Italian restaurant in the heart of Pontypridd.Our first visit and we were very impressed !! Great staff lovely food and beautiful decor and ambiance . We will be back 😊

Food was exceptionally tasty and plentiful in size, all for a reasonable price.

Lucky to have this gem of a place in Pontypridd. Food and service are both amazing. A small place with a wonderful atmosphere.
