Mia Porto Due in Cardiff

Very good. If I come back I will come again

Amazing place, been here twice. Food is amazing and would 100% recommend, the garlic bread is definitely the best part. The staff are amazing there too, couldn’t go to a better Italian in Cardiff. 5 stars every time!

Went there for our Christmas do. We were stuck upstairs in a tiny room. 17 of us squashed liked sardines, the service was ok one member of staff was lovely. Another who was in charge was so rude and not accommodating at all. Food was ok though the salads were left out as people walked passed. We were told we couldn't go down to the bar for drinks, as we'd have to keep passing the kitchen which was open. I certainly won't be going there again.

This place is awesome, Thandi was absolutely fantastic too

Very good service , staff was great and food is delicious 100% recommend !!!

Wonder food with a warm welcoming atmosphere …. Highly rated

I personally had never been here b4.Omg what a little gem of a place. We went for my daughters 30th.The atmosphere 10/10,the amazing staff 10/10 and the food from starters to desert were amazing.All I can say is well done all.

Had a fab birthday lunch with 11 friends in Mia porto 14 th November . We were all impressed with the food , price and the fab friendly staff . Atmosphere was great . Staff went out of their way to put balloons and a Happy birthday banner up . A great place to have a lovely lunch . We will defo be back 😊

The food here is so flavoursome and delicious. It is a family owned restaurant and the waiters are very friendly and welcoming. A lovely experience here.

We went on Saturday night for my Dads 80th birthday. The staff were wonderful, the atmosphere was great and I had one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Highly recommend

So much fun! Giuliano and Tiberius had us entertained all night! Food was delicious and such a welcoming ambience, we had a blast!

Just had a beautiful steak lunch here with 2 friends, excellent service from start to finish...would of liked some Mushrooms with the meal, however it was delicious Finished off with Irish coffee Would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.

The. Est meal we had in the UK and Camilla was wonderful!

Exceptional food. Our most enjoyed food experience in the UK.

My daughter says well done, amazing, perfecto! We had such a delicious lunch of calamari, prawns and linguini. We enjoyed it so much!

The food was excellent, and the service was also excellent. I came with my family and friends and the hanging skewers, muscles and the pizza were amazing. Tibi, and kami were especially nice. Will definitely come again soon!

Ate here for the 4th time. I cannot complain about the taste and quality of the food. I was a little disappointed about the rest. We were sat in the side room which is very cramped. We ordered starters of olives and garlic bread. Our main courses arrived before we had finished our starters. Being too polite to complain we just got on with it. The menu also contains very few Portuguese dishes which I was looking forward to. Don’t think we will be returning.

Friendly inviting atmosphere, server's really attentive and helpful, food was fabulous, skewers were amazing, very tender, lots of it, tuna was stunning, lasagne was delicious, will definitely return and recommend, thank you for a fabulous evening, x

Great Food, excellent service and very welcoming. Arrived for a relaxing Sunday Lunch time and would have no reservations in booking again.

What a fantastic restaurant! Staff were fantastic and the food was lovely, would definitely recommend. Special thank you to Tibbs the waiter who was outstanding

Another great visit again, steaks great quality cooked on your own stone, super service as always, great wine selection and a super new very reasonably priced Lunch menu if you prefer this to the full menu. Can't recommend enough

Staff is epic, also cheerful, one of the best service I ever had. I can feel your staff enjoying their job so much, I wish they can keep energetic and make customers happy

I normally love this place , however went here last night with sisters and friend and found one of the staff quite rude . I went to go upstairs to the toilet and was shouted to in rather a stern voice that the ladies were downstairs . Then I asked for some garlic bread while we waiting for our main enough for 4 people . They proceeded to bring us 1 x3 pieces for every one of us ! A bit over the top and not what I asked for .Then onto the mains ordered the sliced steak in port sauce x4 . Food came out with 4 dishes of veg .I thought it strange no chips or potatoes . It was only after I got home and checked the menu the next day that it did include chips they just didn’t t bother to bring any . I think the lady was waiting to clock off and really could not be bothered . £150 bill and service not what I expected ! Not sure if I will be rushing back sorry .Update no chunky chips that was an error on the menu, it s now slices of potato between the steak slices!

4 of us booked and ate at this restaurant. Unfortunately we ordered the steak in sauce which should have been served with vegetables and chips. Alas no chips were served it wasn't until I looked up the menu online and discovered we had been missed with the no show of chips. An expensive meal for a few slices of steak with peas and carrots.

We were a party of 5, pre booked due to event weekend, had a nice chat prior comfrming booking with the lady who runs the place . Had a great welcome, great service and food, very good, suited all members of the party, we felt like very valued customers even though it was our 1st visit, will return again at next year's event

We have eaten here a few times and always enjoyed the food. I have always enjoyed their chicken skewers but this time they didn’t come hanging they were just cut up on the plate, they did not drizzle the garlic butter over them. Said they stopped doing that after Covid, however I have been there since Covid? They came with a limp side of lettuce and fries. No longer do homemade chips.

Food was out of this world. Portions are not too much but filling. Piping hot and service is top notch!!

Everything was perfect from the pizza to the peri peri chicken. We tried a jug of Prosecco Sangria which was one of the best I have had so far! Friendly staff & a nice ambiance👍 A must-visit place if you are looking for good food 👍

We will highly recommend this restaurant! We were a table of 9 each of us ordered different starters and mains and every single dish that come out was delicious and of excellent quality. Thandy the waitress was so professional! Her warm and bubbly personality shone through she's a great asset to the restaurant!!! 👏 We were there celebrating a 60th birthday Tiberius and Thandy went above and beyond making sure that everything was perfect. Both members of staff were extremely professional and attentive which in itself made our dining experience a memorable occasion. Thank Mia Porto Due

Amazing freshly made tomato sauce the Arancini was delicious. Service was quick and professional. Latte was really pretty.

Really wanted to like this place but 2 parts of our order were wrong and the steak was overdone.

Excellent menu and superb staff. Great selection of Italian do Portuguese dishes. The Portuguese potato bread, sardines starter and fish soup (sharing main) were absolutely delicious. The Portuguese white wine was gorgeous. I will definitely come back and would absolutely recommend.

Best pizza I have had in the UK!!!

Went for a 40th Birthday with 40 people, so a large crowd to cater for, the staff were amazing, friendly, helpful, always smiling. The food was great and perfectly timed. Thank you to all the staff for making a great occasion go so smoothly it was the perfect place for a special event

We had a wonderful dinner here for my aunt's birthday! The staff were so friendly and kind to us all and the food was amazing.

We were in Cardiff for the Foo Fighters concert and spotted this place whilst in the Brewery Quarter. Great location and atmosphere, super friendly staff, and the food was really delicious. We were so impressed we went back the next day! If we are ever in Cardiff again, this will be our go-to place.

Amazing food, friendly and cosy environment and first class customer service. Highly recommend

Great place the manageress is the most professional person I have ever met , really understands her business and runs a great restaurant…

One of the best pizzas we've had in Cardiff! The drinks were good, especially the house red, which was of great quality. When I asked to use the toilet, the staff mistook me for a random person off the street (Not sure if he was joking when I asked where is the toilet😂)! But then he gave me free shots as an apology which was very cute. We will definitely go back again, it’s worth trying!

Great food, phenomenal staff, good prices, nicely tucked away in a lively courtyard, would recommend

I was walking by and couldn't decide what I wanted to eat. Then I saw someone enjoying something that looked really delicious, so I decided to order the same thing. I wasn't disappointed! It's a beautiful place, and the customer service is exceptional - 10 out of 10. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh ingredients and great hospitality. Don't hesitate to check it out!

Best lasagna I’ve ever eaten, service was good, overall great experience

Wow excellent service, food, cocktails and atmosphere. Thanks to Craig for referring his group of “Inspector Ladies” to this delicious culinary delight. Maria and Giudiano were attentive and amusing. We had the stone fillet (or fil-ay) as we call it, which comes rare and continues to cook as you slice and sear it to your liking, the mussels, sardines, mushrooms, garlic bread and all were scrumptious. Thanks to Jog (sp?) as well for his wonderful establishment and a fun evening.

First visit here and booked because the reviews were good . Came with 2 friends to celebrate my birthday of a friday evening. we chose to sit inside as it was very noisy outside (noise from other establishments). Couldn't fault the service or the food. Would definitely go back and would recommend it. The other thing I would advise is to take cash, we were told this before we went, and it did say on the bill, they prefer to be paid with cash.

Called in for lunch, service was excellent, food was superb, lovely atmosphere. Looking forward to next visit.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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...

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 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...

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.

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

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...

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.
