La Parmigiana in Swansea

What a find !!! Visited this wonderful family restaurant for lunch and was not disappointed. Cosy, homely restaurant with a very friendly owner, cook, waiter and chief bottle washer all rolled into one. Fantastic home made Italian food with wonderful taste and worth every penny. Will definitely visit again and so should whoever reads this review.

Amazing fresh homemade pasta and friendly environment, the lady who served us was very lovely.

Small but significant. 👌 Such a nice ambience

Called in for one of Fran's amazing sandwiches, Parma ham, pesto sun-dried tomatoes brie & coffee - fantastic, best in Swansea by far! Highly recommend!!

La Parmigiana in Swansea is a real hidden gem for authentic home-cooked Italian food. It is owner-run and very friendly. All the food is freshly cooked and delicious. If you are in Swansea and love Italian food, this is definitely one to try. We travel from Cardiff to visit family and are never disappointed

Nice traditional Italian cafe. Delicious coffee and pastries to start your day here, with excellent service and atmosphere to boast.

Post covid. Normal opening hours. Still exceptional. Family run. Traditional and unique all at once

Lovely atmosphere,excellent lunch menu,authentic Italian food.

Cooked to order the food is so tasty it cannot be faulted. Always a warm welcome from Francesca who cooks, waits on table and makes her customers feel like friends. Try it once and you will become a regular.

A lovely little deli/cafe, with traditional Italian food and cakes. Great food in a homely atmosphere.

Delicious, authentic Italian food. Really enjoyed every dish and the coffee - thank you

Lovely welcome, great people and tasty food and coffee. Perfect

This is by far my favourite restaurant in Swansea. They are serving proper Italian pasta made with real Italian ingredients. We eat there every time we come to town with work. They also sell goodies to take home: pasta, sauces, panetone, coffee, pancetta, cheese, etc.

There is a deli shop on site with all the Best what Italian market of grocery products got to offer.👌 Owners are totally lovely people with happy to tell you lots of interesting stories about Italy and cousine itself. OHhhh! And I have to add that prices are incredibly low! True bargain! This place is a 💎 of Swansea! 💚🤍♥️

I absolutely love this place... today I bought a selection on canoli.. they were absolutely delicious.. highly recommended them... the little shop is stocked full of authentic Italian produce.. I always buy my 00 flour here to make fresh pasta... so happy it still open in these crazy times...

I love this little place. The owners are so lovely and friendly and made you feel super relaxed. I didn't feel rushed. Felt like I was at home. I went in to eye up the chocolates and ended up purchasing a treat. They also sell meats too. Will be back soon

Always greetings with a smile 😊

La Parmigiana is, without a doubt, one of the finest eateries in Swansea. Whether one is looking for a snack, a treat, or a hearty meal, they will be able to find it here; and, in my experience, it is all delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, as is the owner, and the entire establishment has a distinctive and charming character. If you are visiting Swansea, or are a local who has yet to discover it, I highly recommend passing by La Parmigiana.

This is the best italian restaurant we’ve been in UK. The food is delicious, quite well served in a traditional Italian way of cooking. The service is perfect and the they will make you feel happy and comfortable. I wish have found this place earlier…..Grazie Mille Francesca e famiglie!!!

Incredible quality of food, taste is second to none. Beautiful presentation and wonderful service. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for an authentic Italian meal, look no further!

Great employees that really know there stuff. Fresh and delicious treats!

Absolutely delighted with a delivery of a Birthday dinner to my Auntie, who we have not been able to see since last year and we miss her so very much! We can't go out to eat with her, but we could have delicious food sent to her, so we did with La Parmigiana! We were not disappointed, she totally loved her Antipasti platter, with Mozzarella and Tomato, Chocolate Cannelloni and San Pellegrino, saying it was delicious and looked beautiful! Thanks so much to the restaurant and delivery staff, who also sang Happy Birthday to her on our behalf!! Lush! Highly recommending this very lovely Italian!

Amazing , as if I was there, fast, hot and so delicious - 5* everytime - thank you, I cant wait to visit again

Fantastic service and food , a real taste of Italy at home I absolutely love this shop go and try If you love authentic Italian cuisine

Good quality food....friendly service.

A wonderful place with to-die-for cheese and meats! Seriously treat yourself to some fresh ingredients the, make some killer sandwiches You know it's good when they don't just slice a chunk of salami and toss it to you but care to arrange every slice properly Also the lady is nice c:

Birthday Meal today and a visit to La Parmigiana would have been on the cards , But its lockdown. So its an online order which is their way of coping in this situation.The website is easy to manage and it has the option to order days in advance and to select a timespot for home delivery - brilliant. Good selection of food ,we had a starter of Antipasto for 2 -absolutely amazing.For Mains we had Lasagne and Bolognese, these are not your run of the mill presentations but are in a class of their own and the best we have ever tasted. Then dessert which included Tiramisu - we couldn't go wrong it was fabulous. A restaurant you could easily ignore if you passed it but don't be deceived it is fantastic and well worth a visit. You will have to book though. Don't wait for the lockdown to end log on to the website and book a meal, deliver service is great, selection is good and the meal will be fabulous don't miss it.

I am Italian and this is true Italian food. Very nice and the service is great! Highly recommended! You can also buy typical italian products there

La Parmigiana offers genuine delicious Italian food and coffee to take away

Lovely take away service nice food and coffee

My 84 year old Mum was wasting away in hospital and living on the other side of the country I was flummoxed how I could help get her a decent meal. I called the restaurant and the most delightful lady called Francesca said she would help me out. She provided a beautifully presented meal of garlic bread, lasagne, salad and a coffee latte. It arrived hot and Mum said it was as tasty as the meal she had sitting under the Rialto Bridge in Venice!!!! So take a bow Francesca you are an angel and I cannot thank you enough for going that extra mile. I shall definitely be coming to your place when I am next down in Swansea!!! Extremely good value for money too!!!!!!

Great food , great service snd reasonable prices

Gorgeous authentic Italian food for collection with full, simple reheating instructions. Convenient location just off Walter Road. Excellent, personal service.

A superb little place only sad thing in a quiet road plenty of parking nearby, the staff are lovely, friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming, very clean lovely place.

very nice food, atmosphere and experience quite cheap as well untill the end when a old beven stepped on my dog because the hospital bill was high but apart from that good meal

This restaurant came highly recommended and did not disappoint. The staff and decor were friendly from the outset and the food choices excellent. Fixed price 3 course multiple menu option is a great style of eating and the fact it has no alcohol licence only adds to it as you are able to take your own wine etc with no corkage charge. The food was very tasty and had a great fresh feel about it. Would highly recommend the sea bass cooked in foil as a main course as it is superb. Have heard great things about their lunchtime menu also, so will be giving that a try next. Well worth a visit and you can top up on your Italian foodstuff shopping while you are there.

Great little restaurant bringing authentic flavours of Italy to Swansea. Service with a smile and you can bring your own wine .

Fantastic lunch as always. Gotta love this place, it’s superb and a great place to while away a few hours

Welcoming, homely and friendly atmosphere. Good food and service. Great to see a family making a success if a business. Will be returning very soon..

Fabulous food, fabulous staff!!

Amazing home prepared meals, providing excellent value for money. Welcoming atmosphere and staff. Love it.

Lovely place to eat. Friendly staff and good food.

Delicious, truly authentic Italian food served in this lovely, small restaurant between the Uplands and the city centre. No drinks licence so bring your own

An excellent full Welsh breakfast prepated by a very skillrf Italian cook, All the ingredients top quality

Took my wife for a light lunch today. This place is a gem. Really hospitable service and feeling when you in there. The coffee is really good equally the food is fresh and made to order. So you will not be disappointed.

A small rustic restaurant where you bring your own alcohol and there’s no charge for corkage. A set menu that changes very regularly. There is a choice of four meals for starters and mains. We both had swordfish starters cooked in pecorino cheese with raisins and a helping of salad. We had olives and garlic bread as an aperitif. For mains we had veal on the bone with salad roast potatoes and onions. Our desserts were a raspberry sorbet and a trifle. Service was good and there was no rushing courses. Recommend it if you want good quality food at a reasonable price too.

Very reasonable prices (lunch menu) mainly pasta made by an authentic ltalian chef. Food was tasty and would go there again. Parking bad around the area as mainly residents parking. Check opening times.

Amazing food reasonably priced. Well done chef! Excellent service from this lovely family.

Vsited for lunch with my wife on Friday, Ante pasta starter was a variedselection of cheeses and salamis. Beutifully crusty bread and good portion of olioves and tomatoes. Th lasagne was just incredibly good, So very tasty. A mascopone based desert which was wonderful

Absolutely delicious Ham pasta in a creamy sauce.Good company,gentle service and a warm ambience.What a pleasure!

Well where to start first of all the food I received was nothing like the photos online. My starter consisted of 3 small prawns with bits of chilli on the plate on a bed of rocket with 1 small tomatoe cut in half!!main course was veal thinly sliced 2 roast potatoes few green beans and desert of lemoncello that was the best part all in all set meal £25. I am gobsmacked to think they can possibly charge that much for such small portions it was nothing like an Italian restaurant nothing short of daylight or night time robbery should have been half that price admittedly you could bring your own alcohol or not but that is beside the point. I shall definitely not go back there.

I didn't hate it but didn't think it was value for money too expensive and small portions. Asked if I could have ice with my own drink was told they dont have any!!!!

Fantastic atmosphere and amazing food excellent customer service really quaint place defensively reccomend.

a place not to be missed the food and service are excellent. Also a different menu everytime you visit.

We had yet another great time at this lovely restaurant. The table was ours for the night so there was no need to rush. We brought our own drinks and there's no corkage charge as found in other places. We all had different meals for each of the three courses and were all pleased with our choices. Wonderful food in a relaxed place. We will certainly be returning again but make sure you book ahead since it is so popular.

Stunning food, lovely people who really, really know their food. We had out works christmas lunch here today; really impressed particularly as the desserts were all made individually by hand right in front of us so they were as fresh as could be

I hesitate to share this review but (out of sheer altruism) I must say that this restaurant is just brilliant. My hesitation comes from the fact that it's small and if I recommend it, I might not get a table here. We were a small family party and made our restaurant booking just at the beginning of the evening, so we were lucky to get a table. When we arrived, it was buzzing. The food was sublime - I'm used to good food as I live in France. What made this restaurant special was not only the excellent food but the friendliness of the staff and the lovely atmosphere. Very highly recommended.

Great venue, atmosphere and food again on our fourth visit. Even bought some Italian goodies.

Again had another delicious meal at this wonderful find Italian cafe

Superb set meal in a cosy restaurant. Really took me back to our recent trip to Rome. Bring your own with no corkage makes for really good value. Highly recommended but make sure you book, it's a small place.

We enjoyed a three course meal for £25 a head. A huge bonus is that the restaurant is BYO. The food was enjoyable but both of us really struggled with how much garlic was in it and this tainted our evening after leaving the restaurant, and indeed the following morning. We would return though.

This is a little gem tucked away in a side street, The food is great, I thought I'd had the best pasta in a little restaurant in Rome , but the pasta I had in La Parmigiana was much better

This small restaurant doesn't look like much from the street and we only went there because of write ups here. It did not disappoint with a delicious range of dishes we went through the menu as each of us had different choices. Each were beautifully presented and had delicious Italian flavours. My highlight was the tiramasu which I only just had room for. I like having bring your own booze and the service was just right. Definitely recommend.

Amazing tiramasu and lemon tart /

Nice friendly owners, great food

An excellent light lunch. Very good restaurant

Visited this lovely Italian restaurant for an evening meal in late August just after they had reopened after a refurbishment. The new decor hasn’t spoilt the very relaxed atmosphere. The quirky idea of not having a written menu on the table, with Francesca reading from her hand written aide memoire, and expanding on the recipes as only an Italian could do, makes the anticipation of what is to arrive at your table all the more exciting.

So cozy and friendly!! And proper homemade food! Delicious...

Friendly welcoming best coffee in Swansea and the canoll are great cant wait to come for evening meal

Lovely friendly family atmosphere for wedding party excellent food and service

Friendly treated like family ( I am disabled and nothing is to much trouble without a fuss) food mmmmmm beautiful especially fish . Always leave feeling happy love it can not wait for next visit Thanks Fran Alf Max

Delicious food and friendly service - well worth visiting

Such a shame - this restaurant has been great but sadly needs to take much more seriously when customers highlight specific allergen issues. The consequences can be very severe if not. I am sure though lessons have been learned.

Went to La Parmigiana as a group of 11 work colleagues to welcome a new member of staff.

A group of us regularly eat at La Parmigiana. Last night was our first visit since the refurbishment. WOW! What a transformation They’ve done a great job!

Great price with friendly staff
