Mia Porto Due in Cardiff

Had a meal here last Saturday evening, loved the food and the service was excellent, they couldn’t do enough for us!

First time visiting and the food was lovely! Would definitely recommend!

So glad I found this place for lunch before the rugby match at Cardiff Principality Stadium. The restaurant is only a short walk away from there. They were serving an "Events Menu" which was a 3 course meal, but there was still a choice between 5 starters and 5 main courses. My starter was very good but the fillet steak I had (served on a hot stone) was amazing, melt in the mouth it was so tender, and very tasty. I think it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. It was a large portion too, served with proper, homemade chips and not thrice cooked soggy, chunky chips! I had the steak with peppercorn sauce which was also excellent. One friend had the chicken espetada skewer which was a very large serving of beautifully cooked chicken and someone else had the seafood linguine which they said was good and very nicely spiced. Dessert was I think a homemade nata with a lemoncello on the side. I've had a few natas in my time, but I think this one had the best custard ever with a good, deep custard - delicious. Despite the fact that they were so very busy, service was very quick, efficient, attentive and extremely friendly - as they said, a family restaurant. This shows in their care, attention and friendliness. The woman owner/manageress even remembered me from our telephone conversation 2 weeks previously when I phoned to book!! I will definitely be sure to come again when next in Cardiff, but not on a match day, so I can sample their full menu. It was a real gem of a find and I would highly recommend. I checked other reviews before booking and this restaurant definitely deserves the excellent reviews which it enjoys. Thank you, and I very much look forward to coming back.

Went before the Wales-France game and booked for the event menu. Absolutely fantastic experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, willing to work around our change in party due to a recent passing. Along with this, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were okay and supported our needs beyond what is expected. The food was delicious but not too big. We had the skewers (which we've had before) the steak that came on a hot plate so you could control how cooked it was, and the build-your-own pizza. Our drinks were in plastic cups but this is to be expected on game day. We recommend this to anyone fancying something authentic in Cardiff both on game day and not. We will be back!

Beware of set menu without price. After the rugby match we were charged £45 for a set menu which was nothing special. It’s the only menu available and there is no price on the menu card given to you. I had mushrooms to start, pizza for main and a tiny nata served on a serviette for dessert. Ask for the price of the set menu. Don’t make the same mistake as we did. It’s a shame there are places like this in Cardiff.

Whilst visiting Cardiff we booked a table for Friday evening upon a friends recommendation. The restaurant is small and has a cosy atmosphere. We were made very welcome upon arrival. The food was amazing. 10 out of 10 to the chef. The service was good and we chatted with the hosts. Will definitely go back again next time we visit Cardiff.

Fabulous restaurant, excellent food and the best service from Maria. Definitely returning soon! 👌

very very nice service and food, would recommend:))

We had a lovely hanging kebab in Cardiff!! Waiters were so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely come back! Wine was also lovely! 😁

My Stepdaughter and I had the best welcome from all of the staff of this little gem of a restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff couldn't do enough for us . Even the owner came over to say hello. We will be back next time we are in Cardiff.

Lovely food tucked away in a quiet square in Cardiff Wales but was getting busier as I got there

Janette was lovely however the older portugese lady was horrible. What a nasty lady! I was unable to enjoy my meal. Will never attend again while she works there

In the centre of Cardiff, old brewery quarter so super convenient to stroll to for an early dinner. Great Portuguese/Italian menu, 2 of my favourite European destinations so spoilt for choice! Firstly an Aperol made as in Italy was a great start. Shared a garlic pizza really was one for the garlic lovers, seafood linguine with real depth of flavour, chicken and steak skewers both really tender and efficient friendly service. Nothing not to like about this restaurant.

I can't give enough praise to this place, we went on a busy Saturday, we hadn't booked and we had a large pram and needed a high chair, an they could not be more accommodating to us. They constantly made efforts to come and see the children and even entertained them. The food was fantastic, all clearly cooked from fresh and had that real authentic family run restaurant vibe, will be going back for sure.

Travelled to Cardiff recently for my hen weekend with 14 friends and was struggling to find a restaurant for one evening that didn't insist that we chose from a set menu. Really glad I found this place as we all had a lovely meal. We were able to choose from an extensive menu and the staff were all friendly and attentive. Communication was good before hand and we sent in a pre order which meant as a large party, we didn't have to wait long for our food either. Everyone really enjoyed and a few friends have already mentioned that they will return, as they struggled to choose what to eat and want to try more dishes on the menu!

Food was absolutely amazing and our server was so funny giuliano caramella (best server ever) , my family loved it and we will definitely be back

I went for dinner with my boyfriend here, at first was extremely happy with the service, the waiting staff were so lovely and attentive, however unfortunately the food did not match. I had the seafood linguine and shortly after leaving had horrendous stomach pains. I then proceeded to be ill and unable to eat for over a week after, having to seek medical attention, who clarified it was infact food poisoning of quite a severe kind. I hate to leave a bad review but I would also hate for someone to experience this as well!

We enjoy this restaurant, always find it cosy, extremely friendly service and we find the varied Portuguese/Italian menu, more than enough, to satisfy our needs. The food has always been cooked and served really well. No hesitation, if visiting Cardiff, to phone a reservation, to be sure of being having a meal there. Unfortunately we don't visit Cardiff enough. Waiting for an excuse to visit again.

Fantastic food, wine and service as always. They have introduced some lovely specials which is great for us regular customers. Deserts are to die for. This place is just the best in Cardiff! which keeps me coming back time after time. Thank you to the owner and all the staff for fantastic consistently excelled food and service. 👍

Went for a Late Christmas party in January, food was excellent and staff were friendly, enjoyable evening , will definitely visit again soon.

We had a starter and a main each and all the food was amazing. The restaurant was not busy at all and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back again.

Went Friday 5th January for my Son’s Birthday, I’m a hard to please Chef myself but everything from starter to dessert was amazing, the garlic mushroom starter was perfectly cooked & seasoned as was the carbonara & the cheesecake literally melted in the mouth. The staff were friendly & attentive, nothing was too much trouble and there was a great Friday night atmosphere. We will definitely be back!!

After my last visit here with my wife and having an amazing time. My work colleagues and I decided to pay a visit in the new year. We had a warm welcome when we arrived the lady who served us last time remembered me (not sure if that's a good thing ) but all the same it was nice and made me and friends very welcome. 4 of us had the steak on the stone and the other for had the kebabs with pepper sauce. All the staff were extremely friendly towards us even though after a few glasses of vino and we were all a but merry they made our night. We said we would like to give our compliments to the chef and he came down and thanked us for our comments which was really nice. I still say this is a little gem. We have already booked end of January for my daughters 21st birthday and look forward to hopefully seeing all the same faces. Thanks again Mia Porto duo for making our visit so special xxx

Read the reviews, which helped me to dine out for my anniversary meal on 2nd January, the staff was very welcoming and friendly, but I’m so , so disappointed with my meal I received, salad was brown like it has been there for days, I picked my favourite fillet steak don’t go there it was all fat couldn’t even cut it cheap of the shelf, garlic bread with mozzarella, no garlic or mozzarella just cheese slapped on the top tasteless, 2 side orders of different sauce no taste absolutely shocking meal don’t recommend it , the place was dead just me and my husband there so no excuse for the poor standard , quality of food served, avoid this place .

Main meal a spaghetti dish wasn’t to my taste but the Pastel de nata with ice cream was delicious.

I ate the best lasagna of my life here. The staff and the ambience were great 👍🏻 If you are in Cardiff you should definitely stop by here

Absolutely stunning food, staff exceptional, & the service was amazing. We did not have a reservation asked for a table for 4 with no issue!! I would highly recommend to go here & we will definitely be back.

Lovely atmosphere. Friendly and professional staff. Stopped for a quick express lunch whilst Christmas shopping, perfect independent restaurant nice not to go to a franchise Will definitely be back

Went for lunch, did not have a booking but was given a ta le after a short wait. Our waiter was extremely friendly. I think her name was Maria. Although the restaurant was busy the service was fantastic and the food was incredible. I had the Espetada which was delicious. I will definitely be back in the new year. If you haven't been yet then make sure you go and give this hidden gem a try.

I went over christmas for a meal with my mum fantastic atmosphere. We got served by Maria she couldn't do enough for us and it was so buzzy she still manged to fit us in . There was no wait on food maria was so...

First rate food and friendly staff. Great atmosphere. I've been coming here for a while now and cannot recommend it enough.

I went to restaurant once we had finished our Christmas shopping. It was busy which is to be expected at this time of year but we received a very warm and friendly welcome. We were shown our seats and the service was good, we weren’t pressured we were left alone to enjoy the atmosphere and relax. The food was great and excellent value for money. Would definitely go back again.

Amazing food and wine topped with the best service, will definitely be back for my birthday next year

We recently visited this delightful family run restaurant in the heart of Cardiff. We caught the train there, which was a short walk to the restaurant. The service was fantastic, the staff were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The quality of the food was excellent with the best chicken skewers I have ever had, drizzled in garlic butter. Superb! Also a great variety of deserts, which were really good. We had a fabulous evening and will definitely be going back there again.

We have been to this Restaurant many times, but this time was for my wife's 50th Birthday and was very different. The waitress severing us called Janet who was absolutely brilliant (cant see her being there to long) , however there was another lady there...

Place was packed, as to be expected this time of the year, but not excuse for poor service, freezing cold dining area and inedible food. A small dining area had a group of twelve ( office party) crammed in, so much so staff had difficulty...

Excellent food and a great atmosphere in the heart of Cardiff. Great service from the owner, who also happened to be our 'landlord'. Thouuroughly recommended!

Very quite early on a Tuesday, but still a nice place to eat in Cardiff, really good food & close to everything.

Fab food made even better by the staff. Cant wait to return

Took a gamble and wanted to try somewhere different to the usual big food chains. What a great decision. The food - Had the sardine starter and the wife had the garlic bread. The wife loved the garlic bread and the sardines were cooked perfectly....

This little hidden gem in the brewery Quarter Cardiff. What a surprise when my wife and I stumbled on it. We were greeted by this beautiful lady called Irene who took us to our table. We felt so at home from he start. My wife...

Very disappointed by our visit yesterday. Having dined at porta due on several occasions, which have been amazing yesterday was very different. Manager very rude and abrupt, over charged for our drinks when realising the mistake no apology was made or refund on the extra...

Hidden gem, absolutely fantastic food (we only had the Italian cuisine). Really nice staff, very fairly priced. I would definitely return here if I ever come back to Cardiff. Highly recommend!

Cardiff city centre is short of independent restaurants - but here’s one! Very good menu, great staff, altogether a great evening out here, with a mix of Italian and Portuguese dishes. Thoroughly recommend this.

Great little independent restaurant, so different from all the chains. Fabulous food, excellent wine choice, attentive staff and a to die for tiramisu 😋😋

Found this place tucked away in the Brewery Quarter and what a find! Wanted a late lunch/early dinner before seeing the Nashville Tour later today and so happy we decided to dine here. The food was excellent as was the welcome from the owner and...

My Stepdaughter and I had the best welcome from all of the staff of this little gem of a restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff couldn't do enough for us . Even the owner came over to say hello. We will be back...

Hidden gem in Cardiff! Must visit ! Stunning food, staff are friendly welcoming and polite, food is 5* highly recommend

Located in the busy Brewery Quarter just off St Mary Street in the City Centre Small and intimate inside with a lovely atmosphere , a well stocked bar and there is also a comfortable seating area outside Meals are delicious and freshly prepared on site with prices not being over expensive Steaks cooked on a stone are super delicious ! The staff are so friendly and the service is superb This was our first visit and it definitely won't be our last ! A lovely dining experience We highly recommend it

Mia Porto Due is an authentic small Portuguese/ Italian restaurant located in Cardiff' s busy Brewery Quarter Indoors there is comfortable seating and there is a comfortable outdoor dining / drinks area Meals are delicious and freshly prepared on site , the steak cooked on...

Amazing!!! The food was outstanding we will be returning it was so nice and the manager and staff were brilliant hosts

Sooooo.....Booked a table and they didn't reserve one for us. Eventually, just set ourselves up outside. Over one hour for food to arrive and replacement drinks we had to go to the bar to remind them. Staff were amazing.....But something was so wrong. We won't be back.

Had a lovely dinner at Mia Porto Due, our server was T (not sure if the spelling) who did a great job of taking care of us. We enjoyed a couple drinks, olives and shared a pizza. The menu was quite large and we will return to have a full meal at a later date. Everyone was very friendly, and the restaurant was comfortable and offered outdoor seating.

We came on a very busy Saturday so there was a little bit of a wait for food, but the food was very tasty and Giuliano was excellent and made sure we were looked after and gave a great recommendation for desert - the torta...

Went for our anniversary and service and food was AMAZING !!!!!!!!! Would definitely come again and recommend it to anyone

We came in on a Sunday night during a Wales rugby game so the restaurant was empty. We initially thought we would try somewhere else but we are SO glad we stayed. Our waiter (Guiliano) was incredible, really going above and beyond to make our night special. The food was amazing and Guliano couldn’t do enough for us. We will definitely visit again. This is the only independent restaurant in this quarter and definitley worth a visit !

Honestly i dont know where to start amazing service if i wasnt on a diet i would come everyday very lovely manager the most amazing person i have met very happy dont walk run food is amazing service is amazing 10/10

What a fabulous experience Wonderful food served by lovely staff Lovely sangria Husband ordered steak on the stone and I had a steak/lamb hanging skewer The service was amazing and enjoyed our shots at the end of the meal Will definitely return Thank you 😊

Lovely place staff were lovely. Food was amazing had starter and main. Highly recommended the kebabs.

Well what can I say, This restaurant was everything myself and my partner were looking for. Absolutely gorgeous restaurant and the food was out of this world. I had the mixed skewer which was so perfectly juicy and was on a hanging skewer. The chips were sensational and got all my taste buds tingling with delight. Would highly recommend and will visit again when I'm back in Cardiff 💕

Very friendly service and delicious food. Will definitely come back next in Cardiff.

Great food and service. Loved the jug of prosecco sangria. We had bolo de caco and calamari starters with the chefs marinated lamb espetada (hanging skewers) and bifhinos as mains. Great meal with no complaints, glad we found it!

Quality of food reasonable value and service acceptable, dining area on ground floor feels claustrophobic.

Really nice food and lovely staff!! :)

The very best hospitality! Very attentive, friendly and service is amazing. The food menu is extensive and of the best quality. Each of our starters, mains course and dessert were top notch - highly recommended.

Amazing food. Quality was excellent. Gianpero and the team were attentive and offered great service. Highly recommend especially the amazing skewers.

Lovely food, well priced, Wine is good too. Excellent service. Highly recommended.

Lovely food and good staff, but be wary especially on a Saturday night you will not be able to hear anyone or anything as there are clubs right next to it.

Amazing find, tucked away in the old brewery quarter. Plenty of atmosphere sat outside on the terrace whilst eating soaking up the atmosphere of the 3 very busy bars surrounding it. Food was prompt and very reasonably priced, whilst also being delicious. Highly recommend.

Brilliant food and the service was excellent even though it was an extremely busy Saturday night!

The food and service was amazing the owner Gianpiero and the waitress were so helpful and couldn’t do enough he really does own a GREAT restaurant, couldn’t recommend this place enough the garlic bread and carbonara are some of the best I’ve had and were...

Young female staff, very friendly.

Superb food and drink with shaded outdoor terrace tucked away behind the busy main street. Service was very fast and friendly, food was excellent and beer was cold. Will make this a regular stop during visits to Cardiff

Nice little restaurant and good food and atmosphere.

The rate between food/quality not the best, I ate espetada but the meat wasn't right cut for the dish, like some chunks grilled with no sauce

They juat gave us food after 20 minutes and it came a small amuont of food .

Despite being empty and a quiet weekday evening, they were not happy for me to sit and enjoy a coffee without buying food. Friendly atmosphere, my behind.

We visited here during a busy weekend (pride), we’d pre booked so had no wait for our table. Served immediately for drinks and our orders taken quickly for food. The food was amazing I had the fillet steak skewer and I’d highly recommended. Lovely staff...

First time here for us .. We started with meatballs and bread which we shared .. meatballs really tasty and lovely fresh bread. My wife had the Lamb skewer , cooked perfectly.. I had the Linguine seafood .. delicious Drinks were Sangria , coffee and...

The hanging meat was exceptional, staff great. Beer was Super Bock which I have missed for so long. Sun was out. I've lived in Cardiff all my life. I live a 3 min walk from here. Can not believe I have never been here...

The hanging meat was excellent. Amazing...

Food was nice enough but not as good as other Portuguese restaurants in Cardiff. They took ages for drinks orders and didn't even get us our last drink orders. The waitress was lovely but the manager/owner was abrupt and unfriendly. Obligatory service charge was added...

I really enjoyed my lunch. It's a lovely restaurant , and the staff were very polite, helpful, and happy to help with anything.

Excellent atmosphere, service was great, food was excellent

Amazing food and incredible customer service! Glad I called in today! Thank you guys, I'll definitely be back 😍

Very very disappointed at the dismal quality of food. Took considerable time to come out. Mine, the pesto linguine was cold and my daughter's was not as described in the menu. An ingredient it stated was king prawns, none to be seen. Obviously replaced with octopus which was not on the menu description. Left feeling was a huge waste of money. Being supposedly an authentic Italian restaurant one would expect home made pasta not store bought.

Good food, great service, and nice atmosphere! Highly recommend getting the espetada skewers, they are both delicious and fun.

We booked this restaurant back in January for a 55th Wedding Anniversary as we wanted a Portuguese flavour, with our parents having lived in Portugal for several years. It was not our first choice for Portuguese food but with our original choice not taking bookings...

Amazing staff so friendly food superb the steak on a stone highly recommended

Amazing food, this restaurant never disappoints

Nice food and a little congestion due to being Match Day at The Principality Stadium so I was ok and understood the wait, I just wasn't happy with the £30 Service charge (in my Opinion a service charge should be earned and not expected)

Had a beautiful day, stunning food great service...

What a evening, arrived at 9.00pm and was still there at 11.30pm, i cannot recommend highly the food and the staff were superb, we ordered cocktails and they personally made one to our order, the Calamari starter and the steaks were bloody amazing, I cannot...

Lovely drinks!! Can't wait to come back

Visited this restaurant on the off chance and definitely not disappointed, food fantastic service excellent. I am not a resident of cardiff but visit occasionally when wales are playing this restaurant is definitely on my list to revisit. The owner was really nice, friendly and...

Visited this restaurant on the off chance and definitely not disappointed, food fantastic service excellent. I am not a resident of cardiff but visit occasionally when wales are playing this restaurant is definitely on my list to revisit. The owner was really nice, friendly and when I asked if I could have my glass his reaction was will have to ask the owner then turned around and said yes. All for of us loved this place.

Lovely food. Great atmosphere. They forgot our booking tho, but it was fine when we got there.

This restaurant is incredible & is my favourite place to visit. A family run restaurant and the owners are very passionate and make sure you are satisfied at all times. We found this gem years ago by luck and it has been such a special...

Popped in for lunch having been here a few times. We had garlic pizza bread to start which was really good. Then we had The fillet steak Espetada and Biffinhos. Food was brilliant, sauces excellent as they were previously. Great little spot and we pop in every few months. Will be back again soon.
