Visited in the first week after lockdown had a lovely meal which included probably the best pasta dish I've ever had.

Sensational warmth on arrival as a solo stranger. Made me feel very welcomed. A meal that rates as one of my best ever. The beef carpaccio was so good I was going to order a second one. This place is NOT TO BE MISSED!

Me and my partner stumbled upon this place and saw an article in the window interviewing the owner where he was talking about his passion for food and ingredients. We thought we’d give it a go. We came a day later and I am slightly shocked that such an innocuous unpretentious place serves such incredible Italian food. This is without doubt the best Italian food I’ve had in this country, and would rank as one of the best Italian food experiences I’ve had full stop, Italy included. The portions are perfect, not too much, with the perfect balance of making you feel like you want just that little bit more. As for the ingredients- bursting with flavour and each component complementing each other to make a sensational meal. This is one of my favourite places to eat after just one visit!!

I don't have anything negative to say about this restaurant. The food is DELICIOUS, the staff friendly. I went there by chance, it was next to my hotel. What a happy coincidence! I went there for lunch (23 pounds for starter, main course and coffee, who could say better?) and after enjoying myself, I did it again for dinner. Good Italian food. Here, you won't find the endless carbonara or spaghetti bolognese, it's much finer than that. They have been hailed as the best Italian in Cardiff and I am sure that is the case. I insist: go for it!

We were so very lucky to get a table last night ahead of the concert at the Principality. Cousin recommended it and so glad we went. Food was absolutely stunning, all the staff were lovely. I had a mushroom and truffle risotto followed by chocolate cremoso and it was the best meal I’d had in a very long time. As a vegetarian, it can be tough to get a really good meal these days. Thank you for the very warm welcome and delicious meal.

First time in Cardiff, my partner and I bagged ourselves a simply stunning restaurant. You could tell a lot of thought and passion went into each dish. The portion sizes were expected to be smaller but that’s Italian fine dining and personally, we ordered 3 courses along with fresh bread (which was still warm and to die for) and struggled to finish the dessert we were that full. I loved the concept of the smaller menu and didn’t feel overwhelmed with choice, it was perfect. Brilliant selection of wine too and the waiting staff were very helpful and accomodating. I also felt the prices were reasonable considering it is more of a fine dining vibe. Definitely worth a trip if you’re in the area, nicest meal out I’ve had in a while.

By far the most amazing food experience we have had living in South Wales. My husband and I popped in for a last minute meal - not expecting michelin quality. Wow - we had a 5 course taster menu and paired wine which was outstanding. Even dining at Leonardslee House just a few months back didn't compare to this. We will be back for every possible occasion and recommend you try it at least once if you appreciate good food and good wine and outstanding service. Support your local business not a chain like a douchebag.

If you want it fast and cheap, this resturaunt is not for you. Of you want great customer service and authentic, delicious high quality food - you're in for a treat! The staff were welcoming and friendly - we were greeted with smiles and seated in the upstairs area of the restuarunt. It felt cosy and authentic. The menu, although small (which I personally, prefer) had options to suit all. Some in our party requested slight variations on the menu (dairy free, for example) and this was delivered with no fuss. We spent a lovely few hours enjoying the food and atmosphere, without being rushed. I would absolutely recommend this resturaunt and look forward to retuning!

Restaurant foreplay is checking the menu before even setting foot in the establishment. To my surprise, that was a waste of time here as they had a better Christmas menu! Ragu was amazing but the cremoso! Heavy dark chocolatey with the ice cream and the peanuts, it did not disappoint. It was that good I might even invite my real dad here after disappearing for 20 years to apparently ‘get some milk from the shop.’

They accommodated us without reservation. Small Italian restaurant. Crowded and noisy sometimes. Set menu with very good quality food. Slow cooked Welsh lamb is a must. The manager didn't visit our table and wasn't very talkative, even basic greetings. His colleague compensated everything. She gave us the best service. Anyway, if you like fine Italian cuisine, you should not miss it.

Visited here as a group of 12 friends. Table was booked for 6pm and food was pre-ordered weeks before. We must have waited about 90 minutes before the 1st course started to arrive by which time we were all starving. The food, when it arrived, was excellent and full of flavour but portion sizes were miniscule with no additional vegetables. The wine list, whilst extensive, listed only Italian wines. The serving staff were friendly and helpful. Whilst we all had a good night we left still feeling hungry. Not sure about a second visit.

Having been 2 times before and had great meals went again expecting prious highs. Sadly disappointed. Mackerel in starter was tired & lacked taste & the black pudding with it had a lingering unpleasant taste. Despite copious glasses of water, I couldn't get rid of it. The fish risotto main was far too seasoned. La Pruina red, sold as good company for both fish and meat was virtually undrinkable apart from with meat. The lamb main was good.

Poor service from the moment we walked in the door. There was only 1 waiter doing everything front of house and to say he was overstretched is an understatement. Specials weren't offered to us which was gutting as I would have had the risotto in a flash. Disappointed the starters were served chilled. Mains however were delicious! Would highly recommend the pork with chorizo mash. Nice enough but I wouldn't rush to return.

Maybe I'm a little harsh - it was mostly excellent. I just wanted a little more. Perhaps some more nicely done veg on the side of the main dishes. Or more options than the house wine to drink by the glass. But the food we ate was very good. Nice crostini to start and the ragu as a main also very good too.

From the moment you arrive you know you are going to enjoy a fabulous meal. The front of house staff are caring and attentive and David, the star chef, is a great personality as well as a man who knows and loves food. The ingredients are top quality and the food is stunningly wonderful, the wine lists is a tome but for a delicious wine there is no need to look any further than the house wines. The menu changes daily and it is dependent on locally sources products, the style of cooking would best be describe as Welsh Italian fusion.

Delicious meal at Casanova this month. I honestly couldn’t fault it. This place is tucked away down Quay Street alongside Asador44 and La Pantera (two other places I love). Despite Casanova being open the best part of 20 years I’d actually never been before and I have no idea why. The service was friendly, fast and fuss free. For part of this meal, we were the only diners in the restaurant but we didn’t feel pressured or watched. The food was tasty and I just kept giving my partner tasters of mine because he “just had to try it”. I went for: 🐠 smoked haddock and leek risotto - gorgeous texture with all the flavours coming through 🐷 Maiale - not a trio but a quartet of pork in the form of sausage, black pudding (which was deliciously spiced), belly (which was melt in the mouth good with a crisp top) and the softest most tender cheek. Apple ketchup was a big hitter. 🧀 🍷 A cheese paired with a glass of Passito Rosso to finish - what can I say It was great to be in an Italian which was truly focused on Italian cuisine across the board, not just an endless list of pizza and pasta. The interior is simple, not fussy but in a way where you feel you're still out for a nice meal. One of the pieces of decor was a map of Italy, used by our server to showcase where regional dishes and wines on the menu originated from. It was so nice to see them taking great pride and joy to explain this to us. I left with a huge smile on my face, a full tum and a love for food as strong as could be. I really want to go back now for their Italian tasting experience

One sandwich with cold cuts was fine again, but the one with pear, blue cheese and nuts was drowning in balsamic sauce and something else. Rye bread was soaked up. Stopped eating quickly, but no one came around to ask what was wrong. At the end they wanted to clear the table and I told them: no, my food was not good. Oh sorry, but you can pay at the counter. At the counter mentioned again my sandwich was not good at all: you should have told us before and not eaten your sandwich. But I did not, ask your colleague. No, nothing came back. You have to pay… Made me feel a liar..

Excellent wine and food pairing with great service. This small restaurant has a coffee shop attached. Their food is always based on fresh local ingredients and is prepared and served in a fresh contemporary style. The black pudding fried meatballs were fantastic and the scallops were large and well sauced
