I came because I saw the 50% of sign as I walked past. I was in a bit of a rush, my waitress Krystal was brilliant! She took my order straight away. Let me know how long it would take and kept me updated with its progress. The food came within 10 minutes like she said. I was in and out in half an hour. She was super attentive and welcoming. The food was delicious as well. Would definitely come back.

Had a great meal at Ciliegino yesterday- we didn’t have a lot of time, but the manager and the rest of the team went over and above to make sure we had everything we needed -in time, but not rushed. The food was fantastic, with a lovely glass of wine! Do not let the location (in a shopping mall) put you off - we will definitely visit again, the next time we are in Cardiff!

We arrived in Cardiff today to see Bruce Springsteen. Stupidly we failed to realise how busy the city would be. We visited loads of restaurants and were told they had no space. We arrived at Cilieguno and although they were busy, very busy they said they could serve us at long as we could be finished in time for their next booking. They served us quickly and efficiently. The food was excellent and we were very grateful to have been able to eat in a busy city at a friendly restaurant.

I went with my friend today and it was absolutely amazing! This was genuinely one of the best pizza's i've had... i cant suggest this place enough. It filled me right up for the rest of the day (after also having a starters) and made me filled for my long days worth of shopping. Paul served us and he was so lovely, helpful cheerful, and chatty to us both!

We chose Ciliegino as it was independent from the usual chains, with a more interesting menu and good reviews. The lasagne was a good portion, with a tasty Bolognese filling, though the high number of pasta layers was not as balanced as usual traditional cuisine suggests. The wood-fired pizza with Mortadella, Burrata and Pesto was delicious and a novel addition to the standard list. The dishes were well cooked, and service was good, though the overall value for money for such relatively simple base ingredients leaves room for improvement. A simple meal for 2 with drinks coming in at a little under £50 would perhaps be a bit tough when doubled for a family of 4 .

I was travelling with work on 16th April 2024 and a Cardiff shop assistant recommended this restaurant. Despite being on my own I was made very welcome. I ate the spaghetti bolognese which was fabulous as was my chardonnay wine and I was offered a free limoncello liquer at the end which was lovely and refreshing. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Enjoyable lunch but the ‘Groupon’ offer menu is a little limited. An alcoholic drink would be better than a soft drink instead of tea or coffee . The service was quick, food tasty and staff most obliging. All in all a pleasant visit but Groupon offer needs a few changes.

Lovely meal. I’ve got to say we’re not fans of eating in shopping malls - I’d much prefer a more intimate and cosy experience - but the food here is fantastic. The penne arrabbiata was delicious. It’s always my go to dish when I eat in an Italian restaurant and this one was excellent. Extremely friendly and efficient staff. Well paced service - and a nice touch was we were consulted as to whether we were ready for our main course. We will definitely eat here again.

Fantastic service, very friendly and helpful. Food is amazing. On this occasion we were there to celebrate my daughters birthday, at the end of the meal two lovely waitresses came out with a dessert with a candle in it and shots for everyone singing happy birthday, totally unexpected, what a lovely gesture it made our evening even more special. Plus when we got the bill they had given us a birthday discount. Can't recommend them enough. Thank you to all the staff there, you all do an amazing job.

Excellent food with service to match! We had a lovely meal with our kids, the youngest had the children’s menus which was great VFM under £6, eldest had a pizza to himself. Wife and I shared a pesto and buffalo pizza - very tasty! (pictures attached). The dough is something to behold, we never usually eat the crust (our bad), but on this occasion we didn’t leave a crumb behind. Dough was proper Naples style but dare we say better. What I loved a lot was they don’t seem to margin up on the wine a lovely glass of red or white is £5.50-£6 which these days is reasonable particularly when you see multiple establishments adding margins at £8-9 a glass. Highly recommended a must visit. Location is central and if you’re here on a mini break a must do!

I live in Cardiff and was looking for somewhere to eat on Groupon. I came across a special lunch offer for Ciliegino. I was cautious at first because it is in St. David's centre which is full of franchise chain restaurants. I was a pleasant surprise to find this independent Sicilian restaurant with intriguing decor and excellent food and service. The Groupon offers a limited sampling of the extensive menu with a starter, main and a soft drink. I opted for one of the pizza's because they have a pizza oven made in part from the lava from Mount Etna and they prove their dough for 48 hours. I was drawn to the Triscele, an ancient Celtic symbol consisting of three legs in a spiral, which was painted on the wall. It is their version of the Sicilian flag which is known as the Trinacria. In addition to three legs it features the head of Medusa and ears of wheat. It became a symbol of Sicily because the island has three prominent capes. There were also ceramic heads with fresh basil growing from them. This was explained in the entertaining and informative menu as a traditional Sicilian decoration based on the legend of the moor and his jealous Italian lover who cut off his head when she discovered he had a wife and children back home. Of course this means that my Caprese came with the freshest basil you can imagine. Service was great and the food was excellent. I had a thoroughly enjoyable lunch and will be back to sample more of the whole menu, including their special Cardiff pasta sauce. I also received a complimentary espresso at the end!

Came here one evening whilst we we're having a ladies weekend, Oh my goodness, WHAT A PLACE !!! 1) The food is stunning, so flavoursome, fresh, and very well presented . 2) The service and the staff are second to none. They check on your food and that everything is alright with you several times. The whole dining experience was definitely a 10/10 I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It was that good, we came back the following evening and ate there again, absolutely fantastic. Thank you to you all.👏👏👏👏😘😘

Most enjoyable, tasty and plentiful lunch. Purchased via a Groupon deal and was not disappointed. From entering to leaving we were made welcome by friendly, helpful attentive staff. Food was served hot, and both courses were filing and tasty. One thing was missing a free bread basket but apart from that a really enjoyable meal. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

If you are in need of salad after all the heavy meals in Cardiff, go here. Fantastic place for a salad. We shared the bruschetta. Great fresh flavors. Add balsamic glaze on it. You will not be disappointed. We had a Caesar and a Ciliegino salad. Both were very good. Our favorite was the Ciliegino. Lots of fresh greens.

Love, love love this coffee shop and deli. Tucked away far from the madding crowd, this delightful place is located right at the far end of Fowey high street. A lot of tourists probably wouldn't venture far enough to come across this place, which kind of makes it all the better. Greeted by the friendly owners on arrival, we liked the look of the deli produce so hoped that their coffee would also be good. At first we thought the prices were a bit steep, but ordered anyway. All I can say is - you get what you pay for sometimes. We were not disappointed! Probably the best coffee (double espresso) we've had in this country. The coffee is organic and from a very small producer. It was so good that we made a special trip the next day purely to park up and go back for another coffee! Also tried one of the little Italian patisserie bites (can't remember what they are called, but similar to cannoli) - again, better than we've had anywhere else - fresh and full of filling. Just disappointed we didn't time it for lunch as the panini options sounded lovely and you just know the quality would be great! 10/10
