The pizza arrived stone cold , cheese was like rubber , the chips were cold and hard What a waste of money

Very disappointing! Bruschetta was just a pizza.base with cold tomatoes and olive oil, Sea bass and Gnocci with peas a lobster bisque was equally as poor!! They might have waved a lobster over the saucepan but it sure as hell never went in!!

All Prezzo restaurants are fantastic, this is no exception. 10 /10.

The hummus was excellent, and the chicken pizza was absolutely delicious—easily the best pizza I’ve ever had. Thanks, chef!

Visited here for dinner with friends and the food was lovely. Highly recommend the bruschetta starter and spaghetti bolognese! The waiter was great, attentive and able to provide recommendations on what to eat based on our preference.

Decent place a bit expensive but had a discount code so not too bad, portion sizes on gnocchi and ravioli is quite small

The food is nice but the service is not good.

Ate here with family and decided to go for the Saltimbocca Chicken Sage as it sounded so tasty …… never again. The description sounded so good but this is what it actually was - a small chicken breast, a quarter piece of cabbage, a small dry baked potato cut like a hasselback potato and a bit of chicken stock in the bottom of the bowl. No taste of sage in fact not much taste at all. The only thing that was nice was the crispy prosciutto - one small piece but it was delicious. This was £19 …… ridiculous price for a really tasteless meal

Lewis and Darel ( sorry if misspelled) were excellent. They were really attentive and made the whole experience memorable for us. Food was excellent too so top class experience throughout.

Lewis and Darnel (sorry if spelling is incorrect) were superstars . Over and beyond anything that could be expected. Such a credit to your business Food was excellent

Booked a table on 9th August (Billy Joel gig). When we got there, there was a notice saying that due to an event at the Stadium they would not be accepting various discount cards including Blue Light. So this meant that all meals were to be paid in full. Any other time the card would have able to use. If this decision was made in house or at a more senior level it reaks of bad management and I for one will not be using them again.

Nate was an excellent server. So friendly, knowledgeable and fun. There should be more Nate’s in the world

Excellent food and superb service. We used our meerkat voucher, 25% off. Fantastic value.

Food was ok but felt slightly expensive. Generally ok but when paying the bill we were told it had to be paid by card as they are cashless. Then when paying by card there was no option for no tip it was set for a minimum of 10%. The service was ok but I feel tips should be optional and any employer should be paying a fair wage and not relying on tips.

Prezzo Cardiff - A Taste of Italy in the Heart of the City Prezzo Cardiff truly delivered on our recent visit! The calamari starter was exceptional - perfectly cooked and seasoned, a fantastic way to begin our meal. The bruschetta was another standout, with fresh, flavorful toppings. For mains, the pasta Arabietta was simply first class - packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The carbonara was equally impressive, creamy and rich, a classic done right. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu! Highly recommend!

Been here 3 times over the last few years as a special treat and never been disappointed. Pizza always amazing and serving staff very attentive. Will continue to visit for future celebrations.

Always go to this Prezzo, can't fault it. Excellent service every time. Food is always good Staff are friendly and attentive

I love the food in this restaurant and there is always a friendly welcome and a nice atmosphere, and the place is so clean.

Food was nice, the same as other Prezzo venues. What particularly stood out was our service from Lewis who was very busy serving, yet still kept his composure and had a lovely demeanour. Thank you for the great service.

Came here for lunch on bank holiday Monday, it was very busy but hardly any staff to be seen. The man who was running front of house ( and everywhere!) was excellent and deserves a pay rise in our opinion. He was practically running it single handed and yet had a smile on his face. The food we ordered was lovely I had the pasta and my husband had the calzone. Portion size was good with no waste. We didn’t order starter or dessert but lots of lovely things to choose from. We had a voucher for Prosecco which was excellent. Highly recommend for food and service. Just needs more staff!!

From start to finish a really lovely meal for a family of four, good service and a really good meal. recommended for a all around nice time

I popped into Prezzo at St David's 2 Arcade recently for a spot of lunch and was very impressed by the food and service. I was well looked after by Grace and Janetta, two long serving members of staff. I really liked the fact that Gorgonzola is on the menu at Prezzo and I added this to my Pizza. An excellent choice. The cold Poretti was also very nice.

Brilliant staff, really great service

Had an excellent meal served by a cheerful girl who helped to make it a good experience. We both had the calzone pizza with salad preceded by a bowl of olives and washed down with a bottle of very nice house white wine. Definitely look out for one of their restaurants elsewhere in the UK.

Friend had a gender reveal party held today, service was excellent and food was amazing. The server we had (didn't catch a name but female with glasses) was fab and so were the rest of the staff - apologies for mixup with who ordered what for food. Overall a very pleasant experience no faults.

Pizza was dry and hard to eat. Pasta choice was spaghetti and rigatoni, but not fresh egg pasta, just an ordinary dry boiled pasta. Staff was friendly Tiramisu was like jelly, definitely not a typical Italian. 2 starters 4 mains, water £140 before tip.

Lovely place, food was amazing and the waitress was a credit to Prezzo. Very professional, friendly and a great smile. Thank you Grace for making my dinning experience very enjoyable.

Lovely afternoon dinner. Great service, great food, great drinks all served by friendly and efficient staff. We'll be going back there for sure.

I popped into the Prezzo based in St David's 2 recently before going to the Cinema. I ordered the Spaghetti with King Prawns for a change and I have to say it was excellent. Really tasty. Lots of King Prawns and Chilli. Prezzo now has Poretti on draught which is a class lager. Can't fault that. All the Staff in this branch of Prezzo are really friendly and helpful which makes a visit that much better.

Delicious pumpkin and cheese ravioli with a cheese sauce 😋

Attractive decor and smart vibes, and also pretty good service. I was lured by the free Prosecco offered on joining Prezzo, but all in all the food didn’t blow my mind. The menu was very varied and interesting, so I decided the goat’s cheese bruschetta and olives to start. The former was piping hot and tasty but too small. The latter were dry, shrivelled and overall off the mark. My main, the Tuscan sauce with lentil, looked appetising but had no wow factor: those sausages could have come from any ordinary supermarket, but I expected them to be tender and flavoursome. I really feel this is a point for improvement. The house white was also insipid. I would imagine the pizza here is good given the classic Italian pizza oven that is used, but I wanted to try something more off piste here and was unfortunately not particularly taken. Perhaps the kitchen was having a bad day?

I ordered the chicken Imbocca and I will describe the plate to you . Firstly cold plate . Secondly as a cook a Potato Al forno is a gratin of potato . I received ONE small lukewarm boiled , dry hassleback potato . No seasoning , no oil , no butter . Just dry and cold . Chicken cooked okay but again lukewarm . A paltry licking of sauce and a pancetta slice that was so brittle it crumbled to pieces also a small wedge of cabbage . With a whisper of charring but was a cold green flaccid vegetable . I am so annoyed to part with £18.50 . I would advise do not order this . My husbands burger he said was flavourful however the portion of chips were so mean they looked silly on the plate . I feel robbed of my money and For a first visit this will be my last . I would stick to the pizzas and garlic bread as I saw other tables had only ordered this .

The best part of visiting Prezzo was the service. 2 young waiters were so lovely and friendly and made the experience so pleasant. The food was pretty good too, but the service was great.

Lobster & crab ravioli was delicious! Thank you to Zaneta for looking after us

Amazing food selection and fantastic service.

The restraunt was clean and welcoming, the staff were on point regarding allergies. The starter of mini beef ravioli was delicious, and the main was tasty and well presented (not too over filling that I couldn't fit in desert) the desert of biscof cheesecake was a delight. Lewis our server was pleasant and earned a well deserved tip. Over all I'd definatley recommend eating here. Ps I wasn't paid to leave such a good review, if it was a terrible experience I would 100% say this to save someone else having a bad experience. Thanks all 😊

The restaurant is situated in the shopping centre. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Good selection on the menu - we enjoyed olives to share plus hummus and flat bread. Calzone and a very flavoursome pasta with salmon. Reasonably priced for the quality of the food. We visited on a Wednesday early evening and although quiet when we arrived the restaurant soon filled up and had a good atmosphere

Had a very nice meal, was served by a lovely waiter named Lewis, he took very good care of us

Great food and amazing cocktails, problems with seating however as we got an email changing how many people were allowed to actually book from 6 to 2 people, 30 minutes before. Also, one of my friends' food came 10min after everyone else had been served their food.

Great experience! Good food with many vegetarian options! Charlotte was also very nice and friendly attending my table!

Great service, the food was spot on and the menu is big… Was able to use a discount and save in my delicious meal. thank you

I came here with a group of friends at 7pm on Saturday. I have never tasted an Arrabiata so bland in my life. I ordered the Rigatoni Arrabiata initially and when it arrived the Rigatoni was so overcooked it was falling to pieces. I told the Waitress that it was overcooked and if I could have another one. She promptly took it away and returned explaining that they had a problem with the Rigatoni and if I had that again it would be the same - overcooked. Surely a Chef in an Italian restaurant should know how to cook Pasta properly!! Anyway, I had a Spaghetti version and it was so bland. I ate it all because I was so hungry, but there was no kick to it whatsoever. I would not recommend anyone who actually knows how Italian food is supposed to be cooked and taste, eat here. Over priced and over cooked. I won’t be eating here again. The staff were excellent, lovely, polite and patient considering how busy it was in there, so five stars for them. Zero stars for the food.

Absolutely fantastic. Wine superb. Risotto gorgeous. Highly recommend

Great location and food, lovely staff and good service

A nice place to eat with good service and reasonably priced. No steps to consider and access is easy for those with mobility issues. I had the Chicken, Prosciutto and Sage Saltimbocca which was very delicious. Cheesecake for dessert. No long wait for your food once you placed your order. Waiters were friendly and efficient. I recommend a visit and I'll be back to try something different next time. Thank you!

Always a lovely experience in Prezzo. We had a voucher which took 25% off and the food was excellent.

Great meal. The place was busy, but we were seated and served straight away. Food came out really fast, and it was very tasty. First time at Prezzo. We would definitely go again.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Would recommend this place! Pizza was fab and the cheese burger was fantastic. Great for a quick(ish) lunch when out and about.

Got severe food positioning after around 2-3 hours of eating here. I had spag bowl which wasn’t massively warm but I don’t like complaining. However, I was very ill overnight. I will not be eating here again sadly

Went for a meal yesterday 9/10/23 excellent service lovely food fabulous meal the staff couldn't do enough for us we are are definitely coming back thankyou all we had the pumpkin pasta plus other dishes

The ladies were super super attentive and sweet - Michela. However, Ollie who gave us the bill was unfortunately not. We did not get any service from him, he decided to throw the bill at us with some hostility. He did not speak to us or even ask if we wanted anything else (which we did). But because he was so rude we just paid and left instead. If it wasn’t for that interaction I would have gotten a few more drinks. But disappointed:(

Fantastic service and food, new menu, and the gorganzola burger was the best one I've had, the spicy sauce made the dish,

Staff went above and beyond! Thank you x

Visited Prezzo whilst on a shopping trip to Cardiff! We wasn’t disappointed, service was excellent from friendly staff. Would certainly visit again

Much better experience here than the Swansea Prezzo. Food was lovely & kids enjoyed. Not super fast service considering it wasn't very busy but would go back in future.

Polite friendly service warm welcome upon arrival love the great selection of starters and mains Service is quick food well presented will be returning soon

I Didn't have a booking, asked for a table on the off chance was seated inside family of 3, we had a fantastic meal, I was expecting aright chain style food but I must say the service and the food was awesome. The children's 3 course for £7.50 excellent value I had chicken in a mushroom sauce and my mother had chicken Alfredo. Exceeded my expectations really enjoyed lunch here at prezzo we will be back.

Always reliable Italian chain with interesting varied menu and friendly service.

Top restaurant every time when in Cardiff. Amazing food, and great service. Never disappointed. Have had a variety of dishes off the menu all so lovely.

Nice food will definitely go again

Visited on the night cold play was on and booked a table for 4 people @430pm. Unfortunately things were not really great. The food was perfect no complaints sadly what let it down was lack of communication. The starters came in a timely manner however a long wait for mains. When queried we were told the delay was due to ensuring the chicken was fully cooked and the fact we ordered 4 different meals ( all on the menu ). 5 minutes later a second lot of starters arrived ! When queried about the further wait the waitress became defensive and rude despite me calmly pointing out a error had occurred due to 2 lots of starters. The manager then spoke with us explained that the kitchen was under extreme pressure due to staffing. Whilst I fully appreciate this it is more helpful to be open and honest at a earlier point so we could of made a informed decision. The manger was fully apologetic and didn’t charge us for the meal which was a very good gesture. I am hopeful this was just one of those days

The second time we come here and we leave very happy. Excellent quality of the pizzas in particular we liked Goat cheese & peppers. Louis offered us a very nice service and the place has a good atmosphere. Would recommend

My first time here and was really impressed. Good food at a good price, with a very good menu choice

Lovely Restaurant, very friendly staff, Good food.

Very yummy food. I loved the atmosphere in this restaurant. Me and my partner visited whilst out shopping and I had the Penne Arribiata with chicken which was just lovely! Great quality food, at decent prices! Would visit again.

Another fine meal can't say highly enough for them beautifully prepared and steaming hot.

Gave it 4* due to having a good eat first time round, food tasted amazing, pud topped it off and service was A** (left fat and full). Went again today and had the same meal, unfortunately they had run out of the sauce, so made it bland. I was asked if I wanted ceaser dressing or balsamic and oil (nice thought) but oil tastes nasty and balsamic pissed out everywhere and rhe Chicken was over cooked. I was asked at the end if I had enjoyed it and told the fella that served us all of the above (I may have been a bit annoyed) so apologies to him for that. He then said I didn't have to pay for the meal as I had had such a bad experience. (very shocked). I would consider going back despite everything. Due to how good it was the first time.

Food mediocre, staff slow but polite, manager not only rude but very abrupt in the way he spoke to customers, if he was having a bad day he didn't have to share it with us. customer lost.

Fab service at Prezzo, Cardiff yesterday evening. We had been to do an escape room and were struggling to find a table anywhere for food after. Fortunately Prezzo had room and were very accommodating. Staff were fab - attentive but not intrusive - very friendly and polite. It was very busy and despite this we were not waiting long for our drinks and meals. I had the crispy fried mozzarella to start and my boyfriend had the prawns and gnocchi - both starters were delicious and hot on arrival to the table. For main we both has lasagne, which is always perfect at Prezzo - piping hot, rich, cheesy and delicious - honestly Prezzo lasagne just beats all! My boyfriend also had a side of fries and enjoyed those too. Food and service were both exceptional - thank you very much!

Amazing but I had the honey come cheese cake not much honey come but everything else was amazing

Really friendly and helpful staff and food was delicious .

Always a friendly welcome and food always great too

Lovely food and the staff coped amazingly well with all the kids off to Disney on Ice

Booked a table for 11.45am on a Saturday for lunch as this was the only time available for booking online. Used Tesco vouchers which made the lunch great value and it was no trouble to use the vouchers. Service was good. Good value kids menu, £7.25 for starter, main, dessert and drink. Lots of choice for children. My daughter had the burger, which was a good sized portion, lots of fries, but no veg or beans. The main menu is pretty basic. I had a goats cheese and pepper pizza, which was ok. Not much cheese on it.

Servers were polite and friendly. Food was served hot, fresh and very quickly. We tried the calamari, Brushstrokes, pasta, pizza and Calzone and it was all lovely. Used Tesco points to pay which helped as its quite pricey (but no more expensive than any of the other places around) . I'd definitely return.

The service was good. Check backs, was asked for deserts. The food was also okay, nothing special. The table seats were in a really awkward position. Put inbetween 2 large familys even though other tables were available. Decent visit. Wasnt bad,but wasnt good either.

I have no issues with the taste food or service, but disappointing news for fans of the Sea Bass. The Sea Bass no longer comes with potatoes or green beans etc. It just comes with a small mixture of chopped tomatoes, a couple of olives, a tiny hint of aubergine and loads of rocket lettuce. Not worth the £19. My advice, go for something else on the menu!

Had a very nice meal in here, I've never seen my almost 4 year old eat so well. It's nice when you feel like the food is of the adult menu, only smaller. Thanks for fitting us in.

Local inside the shopping mall,and next to the pizzaexpress, food is very nice ,delicious, but suggested to book a table in advance so you can have better seat.

Just OK - it used to be great - bit disappointing

The food was great. One waitress had a foul attitude, and was quite rude when we were paying, so we left in quite a bad mood although the food was lovely. The other waiters were ok although they were quite busy so we didn't get much service.

Booked a table, glad we did as the Christmas shoppers were out in force. Lovely friendly server (didn't catch their name). Drinks were very expensive (soft drinks). Really disappointed that I wasn't allowed to use a voucher to claim a birthday prosecco alongside tesco club card points; especially when clubcard points can't be used on drinks anyway. Just feel like their trying to catch you put rather than actually encourage you in with a free gift. Even with club card points I felt it was very expensive. Nearly £30 pp for 1 soft drink a starters and a main. Calamari was amazing! The mozarella were awful, think they'd bought on 3 for 2 in Tesco, id argue that they probably weren't even mozarella. The mains were nice- burger, chicken milanese, pasta dishes. The place was boiling hot!!! Even the staff looked like they were too hot bless them. Overall most of the food was tasty, the server was great but it was expensive and I was disappointed about the vouchers- it would probably stop me returning as I'd look for better offers elsewhere.

Great meal and good value. Staff attentive and helped us celebrate my grandsons birthday with a cake.

The fried calamari was perfect!! Will come back again just for that item. Besides that Tiramisu was great too.

This has to be the best Prezzo we have been to. Excellent friendly ‘on the ball’ efficient staff. Prompt ordering and delivery of food and drinks. Food very presentable and delicious. Regular pizza was large. All three courses taken were lovely. Prices have risen but to be expected discounted with Tastecard so exceptional value.

Been to various Prezzos across the UK, never disappointed and Prezzo Cardiff was no exception. Great food, and great service from the staff.

We had a gift voucher for this restaurant and we was not disappointed. The staff were helpful and friendly. We had the set meal with choices and the food was amazing.
