Il Gelataio in Cardiff

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

Delectable, Devine, Delicious. Location was cute, enjoyed the options and the lil mini market. The colors were inciting and made me feel comfortable. The ice creams was perfect balance of sugar and cream!

Really tasty fresh Italian food. We all ordered different mains and everyone was delighted with their food. Apple pie and coffee semifredo were dessert highlights. Great value and service too.

Love this place. Went for my girlfriend’s birthday and had a great time. Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Will always be back.

Really good food great staff plenty of choice
