Little Italy in Ceredigion

Wow wow wow this is an amazing place to eat very special with fresh food and lovely atmosphere can’t wait to come here again x x

A great and comfortable place to meet up with my daughter, who's at Uni. This is our go to place in Aber. Good people, nice food, nice atmosphere.

Not been here for a while and was disappointed. Platter starters very underwhelming tiny slivers of food and an inch of bread. Pizza was luke warm and floppy with about 3 olives on which were extra. Vegetarian tomato pasta main was at best average lacking any real flavour. Meat versions seemed better but as a vegetarian didn’t try. Would have given 1 star but staff were great and food came out in a reasonable time.

This place is the only Italian restaurant in Aber really, despite the cost ambience it really isn't somewhere I would recommend to anyone. I had a tomato based pasta dish and I absolutely could have made it better myself at home, very thin sauce. I won't go again to this overpriced restaurant.

Fantastic place, very cozy and the staff were lovely. However the fettuccine boscaiola was a bland and tasteless, sauce was just runny cream. The tiramisu was lots of cream and little else and didnt taste much of anything. Really disappointed and expensive.

We were a group of four friends who had booked an evening meal at the restaurant. The food was simply excellent from start to finish as was the ambience and friendly service provided. Highly recommended if you're in Aberystwyth.

Ate out three nights in a row in Aberystwyth last week in different restaurants. I liked this one the best. Food was very nice, nice ambiance and service was excellent. Couldn’t fault it really. Plan to go again next time we are in Aberystwyth.

We finally were able to obtain a booking, as it was fully booked every time before. Not the fault of 'Little Italy", of course. So we (5 people) were finally able to visit. It looked a great atmosphere, when entering, and we were welcomed friendly, after which we were guided to our table. Enough space for us 5. It was nicely cosy crowded. The menu was handed over and it needed some Time to study as everything appeared mice. Additionally a small day-addition menu was handed over too. We ordered a champagne to start, a Pol Roger Reserve, with a nice soft, but pleasant taste. To start I had opted for the Prawn, Crab & Lobster Ravioli form the day-card. This was served with 2 cuts of baguette and served with some herbs and chilli's. It tasted very nice, For main I had chosen the Penne Arrabbiata, a lightly spiced penne. The penne was served 'al dente' but too 'al dente' for me (as you can see on the picture, the paste is still very 'sharp' & round shaped, also dark coloured). For me, boiling 2-3 minutes longer would have improved the experience/taste very much. A pity. The added sauce was great, not fat and very full. With the main dishes, I had opted for a Rocca, Negroamaro, Salento, 2021 and we also ordered a Pecorino Colline Pescaresi. Both wines, the red and the white tasted good with the food. The red one was full bodied and with a lot of taste. The white one was subtle and complex, but fresh. I did not choose anything to eat for dessert, but choose a Galliano, a Vanilla-Anise liquor. This obviously tasted as it should taste, very nice. The service was very friendly and helpful. It was a pleasant visit and we will not hesitate to return, when an opportunity turn up.

Always fabulous in every way: food, service and atmosphere all brilliant 🤩 We go to Little Italy quite often and always take our family and friends there when they visit 😊

Im not used to eating on my own but all the staff were lovely and made me feel comfortable, the food was gorgeous! Thank you xxxx

We booked a table for a special occasion and it didn’t disappoint. The decor, welcome and service was exceptional. Such an amazing choice on the menu with specials that it was difficult to decide. The atmosphere, food and experience made for a wonderful night. Thank you.

Great to find this excellent, small but well-run restaurant in my old stamping ground. Proper tasty Italian food, excellent service and no gimmicks. What's not to like? Highly recommended!

The food and atmosphere excellent we were a group of 5 and everyone loved their meals especially the ravioli and the mini pancakes. Staff very welcoming will definitely be returning 😊

Absolutely delicious food. Both my partner and myself really enjoyed our meal. Great service.....courteous and accommodating....changed from an upstairs table to downstairs. Happy experience 👍😀

The best restaurant in Aberystwyth. My partner and I love it here, the staff are always very welcoming and hospitable. The food is incredible and the price is also very reasonable. I love the atmosphere.

A lovely intimate Italian restaurant. Food is hearty rather than the last word in sophistication, but nevertheless very enjoyable. Gluten free options abound. Staff superb. Atmosphere sublime. Booking seems essential.

Lovely little restaurant with great atmosphere. Friendly and efficient staff. Would love better choice of plant based options for starters and mains.

The staff were amazing and the food was good. I would say that they lobster and crab ravioli was lovely but the bruschetta special with palma ham wasn’t that great. There was no tomato salsa just mozzarella and ham. The spicy Italian sausage penne was...

We went for dinner and were lucky to get a table as its such a popular little place. It's not big but it packs a punch. We tried it on the off-chance and every single course was perfect and the service was excellent too. Very...

Great atmosphere and service from the friendly efficient staff . Food was superb. Booking essential to avoid disappointment. Already booked again.

Lovely little place. Staff helpful and all of our food choices were spot on. Pity it was closed on Tuesday as we would’ve visited again! Grazie

Lovely restaurant. Amazing atmosphere.. The staff are friendly, helpful and super efficient. The food was served promptly and was superb. We plan to return time and time again.

Fabulous meal, friendly and helpful Staff, a great menu to choose from, I would advise you to book in advance as this Fabulous restaurant is always busy

Fabulous restaurant. Second visit this year. Food was amazing, excellent staff, especially Nicola. She was so lovely, friendly and professional. Beautifully decorated.

Such a lovely restaurant, we’ve been coming here since the 1980’s and it only gets better with time! The food was delicious, ambience perfect and staff genuinely friendly. Here’s to the next 40 years!

Our go to restaurant when I visit my daughter and partner. Food, service and excellent staff makes for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend, but you’ll need to book.

My friend and I visited this popular restaurant two nights in a row on a mini break this weekend. On the first night we both had fillet steak. It was so good we had the same again the second night. The service is excellent. Fresh...

What a fabulous place, the atmosphere is quaint and intimate and the decor very fitting. Our server Nicola was very attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The food was superb and working in hospitality I am very hard to please! I would highly recommend Little...

We’ve visited this restaurant over half a dozen times now and both the food and service is consistently excellent. The food is delicious. As well as the tasty Italian choices, their steaks are the best we’ve tasted for miles around. And they’re great every time...

Excellent food , was there last week and the staff were fantastic , there to help with everything. Food was delicious and lovely portions. Excellent all over

Returned to one of our favourite restaurants - we book in advance as it’s very popular. Food was great, full of flavour and generous portions. Waiting staff are friendly, polite and professional. Our personal favourite dishes are the gamberi and mondradini which are not to...

My husband and I are currently visiting Aberystwyth for the week, and after seeing how highly reviewed this restaurant was, we had to try. I can say our experience from last night did not disappoint! From the food to the service, we cannot find a...

Nice place and lovely atmosphere, staff very attentive and polite. Very underwhelmed by the food. Very disappointed with it and won’t be rushing back. To have a chicken dish and have to search for the actual chicken through the pasta isn’t what you’d expect for...

Really, really disappointing after reading other TripAdvisor reviews!! Maitre D' at front was very brusque. After explaining we had tried to call for a reservation she informed us they were "too busy" to answer their phone!! She "gave" us a table but explained we had...

Very good service, nice atmosphere and decor inside. Nice caprese salad to share. Baked pasta dish was good, pizza Grande was average. Nice toppings and thin base, the latter which unfortunately was soggy meaning I could have folded it into four and eaten it like...

This is probably one of the most authentic Italian restaurants I have ever eaten in. Whenever we have a cheeky night away in Aberystwyth, we always book a table. The staff are so accommodating and friendly The food is simply divine. Booking is advisable as...

Excellent traditional Italian restaurant. Fitted us in early without a booking. Good food and service. We had pizza and pasta both excellent.

The reviews are right this is a great little Italian . Nothing fancy just very good pasta and pizzas . Great atmosphere and wonderful friendly service .Its no surprise that you must book as it lives up to its reputation .

Excellent service, tasty food, good value and lovely atmosphere. Thank you for a lovely meal great place would recommend

Food was excellent! We had two pizzas with vegan cheese. Any any pizza can be adapted to a non-dairy version for allergies/lactose intolerance. Service was prompt, although a bit rushed because we went on a busy Saturday evening. We could only stay at our table...

Excellent, amazing food and lovely staff. A little gem in Aberystwyth. Extensive menus and a great wine list. A must in my opinion

Staff very friendly. When asked we were told that their ravioli was not made on the premises but came from London??? Surely any Italian restaurant has some kind of fresh homemade pasta on offer but not here. The four different mains that we had were...

This is our favourite restaurant in Aberystwyth. Food is always amazing, good portions and great staff. The mini pancakes dessert is incredible! We came as a family this time, and both kids loved it. Little Italy is now their favourite restaurant too!

THIS IS THE PLACE ! I am so sad that I have to leave my holiday because I am Craving this food . This food was so incredible , full of flavour and with perfect portions! You can tell its homemade and fresh ! Also...

Great food👍 Really good service, nice location and decor, will definitely be returning for the nice weather

Delightful, relaxed atmosphere; delicious food; friendly but efficient staff; gluten-free eating is no problem; what more can you want!? The steak was apparently exceptional, and the gluten-free pasta was the best I have eaten. Delicious desserts to round off the evening.

How can I describe this restaurant, other than INCREDIBLE. I felt so at home here I didn’t want to go home! The serving staff are so attentive and lovely, nothing was too much and no question was unanswered! Hannah especially waited on our table and...

Absolutely amazing meal. Been coming to Aber for four years and wish we’d come here sooner. Will definitely be back.

From the outside it’s quite unassuming, you could easily walk past while looking for a more restauranty type of place. But that would be quite the mistake. Once inside, you just know you are going to have a great meal. And you do! My family...

Little Italy was recommended to us by the hotel where we were staying, and we were not let down at all. My wife is coeliac, but the choice of gluten free food here was excellent, as was the high standard all the food we had....

Mamma Mia, absolutely fantastic. lovely food from an italian chef, very warm friendly and knowledgeable staff. Would definitely visit again.

Food well presented and tasty. Service was excellent, all staff friendly and attentive. Definitely worth a visit. Plenty of menu choices.

Superb food, friendly, lovely and very attentive staff. Very atmospheric setting and music. Would 100% recommend a visit.

We had a lovely pizza here. Very freindly attentive staff. Fantastic with dietary allergies. The chef is from Calabrese and cooks from scratch and only with Olive oil, (not Rapeseed, Coconut or Palm) . They know the ingredients of products like, chilli sauce, that have...

A great time was had by all. I've been to Little Italy 2-3 times over the years and have always found the experience to be enjoyable. We were seated on the ground floor near the entrance however I did not did this to be distracting...

We visited Aberystwyth for the day and had a wonderful dinner here. The service was great, good portion sizes and delicious food.

Been here many times and it’s always perfect. Good service, friendly staff and the food is always excellent. There is a reason why they’re always busy! Excellent, keep up the good work, we’ll be back again soon.

20+ years since my last visit and it did not disappoint. I was a student in Aber and returned for a weekend visit. This restaurant was my all time favourite and made Carbonara one of my favourite dishes and it always had to be a...

A wonderful restaurant with a great ambience to boot, the service and food was outstanding, staff clearly have a passion for excellent service, highly recommend!

A lovely warm welcome on arrival and great food and drink, authentic Italian - perfect. To start, the lobster and crab ravioli were delicious and my caprese salad was so tasty. Pasta dishes for main course excellent and we thought we were too full for...

Outstanding food, service and wine. Our 3 pasta dishes were to die for a so authentic. Atmosphere amazing and communication via e-mail rapid.

What an amazing little place. We rocked up on our way down to Haverfordwest by chance and I’m so glad we did. GREAT food and friendly service. The place is very homely. Left really happy. Thank you! 100% recommended!!

Mothering Sunday, the place was packed - so good to see it back to normal! The food & service is spot on, they make everyone feel most welcome & special, ensuring you leave having had a wonderful time. Perfection on a plate & brilliant service....

Fabulous experience from start to finish! Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff, couldn't do enough for us. Arrived and our table wasn't quite ready so went to the bar to have a drink whilst we waited which wasn't a problem. Upstairs was homely and comfortable. Decor...

This place is a little gem! But you must book it in advance. The food was absolutely delish and the staff are amazing! Highly recommend! The house red was good!

The service, food and cocktails were all fantastic.It also had a warm and homely atmosphere; an excellent evening.

A small venue but so busy a mark of the quality offered. Food was excellent we haf 3 courses and soft drinks £72 which was reasonable. Service was ye stsravt. Attentive, careful and caring. Well worth another visit

Had a meal tonight very welcoming staff, but that was only the start , we were shown to our table had a coffee while we looked at the menu so much to choose from i settled for a steak my friend had a italian meal...

We have eaten there a number of times over the past few years and every time the food and staff have been absolutely wonderful. Our preference is to be upstairs but this has not always been possible, however the lower floor is just as nice...

We luckily got a last minute table on Friday night as there'd been a cancellation. Such a lovely atmosphere! Service was excellent and food was excellent. Will definitely visit again.

This is such a great little bistro. Staff couldn't have done enough for us and the food was amazing. Make sure to book a table as they fill up quickly.

Lovely bistro with fantastic staff who squeezed me in at the last minute but still made a fuss of me. Food was delicious and service was great in this hidden gem, slightly off the beaten track

Fantastic little restaurant, Food was excellent very generous portions and very tasty. The staff were fabulous very attentive and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend this place for a great meal, whether it is for a couple of people or a...

2nd time my partner and I visited Little Italy. Once again great food. Good gluten free choices and options for coeliac diet. Was very busy for a Wednesday evening in mid January which shows how popular this place is.

We had a delicious meal here yesterday. It is a small restaurant decorated so that it felt that you could have been in an Italian trattoria. From the first mouthful of food to the last was delicious. The place does not look particularly special from...

First night in Aberystwyth my wife and I visited and found it so good we went back the following night. Good food, good ambience and excellent service. Shame there is no fish on the menu.

In town for work with 3 colleagues we had a perfect meal delicious food, faultless and freindly service. Though busy , especially for a Sunday in November the staff were attentive and everyone around seemed to be having a lovely time. Wish it was

Amazing food as always - the crab ravioli was exquisite and well worth the visit alone! Excellent service from start to finish. Best restaurant in Aber by far.

I went here 10th November at about 5:30pm i didn’t have a booking but they were so kind and squeezed us in. It was so lovely inside and cozy and the food tasted amazing, everyone was so friendly and I hope to visit again in...

Booking definitely advised,luckily I did a few weeks ahead and had some lovely food with my partner on Saturday night,both pasta dishes we had were very tasty and garlic bread light and fluffy.Starters were very good and the prawns were large and meaty. Definitely recommended

After messaging the restaurant on FB only the day before, we managed to book a table for 8.30pm on a Saturday to celebrate our friends’s birthday. We arrived 10 minutes early but we were sat at out table with menus before 8.30. Charming little restaurant,...

We had the most amazing experience here. The staff were really friendly, accommodating and helpful. No vegan options marked on the menu but they are able to make pretty much any dish vegan, and have vegan cheese available too. Their gluten free fresh pasta is...
