Trattoria in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Perfect place to eat and drink. We came here for the a lunchtime meal in the week and it was absolutely perfect such an idyllic setting with friendly staff and lovely food can’t wait to come Here again x x

I'm never disappointed when I visit here. Whether it's with a large gathering of people or a smaller group, the food is always spot on. Never any complaints, and they always get it right. Great atmosphere, great food, and great service.

Went for lunch with work colleagues and was really quite impressed,both with the service, and food - and price! £15 for a two course set lunch menu, with drink. Excellent selection, delicious food and plenty of it. I'll definitely return 👍

Unexpected address and discovery during our road trip in Wales

Lovely place. Went to here with friends.

Went last night for a birthday meal. Staff were great, allowed us to take a cake in, cut it and eat it there. The food was amazing, full of flavour, I tried things I'd never thought of because the waitress carefully explained the ingredients. The portion sizes were bigger than I expected. I was expecting a higher bill at the end but I was very happy with what I paid. Definitely will be going back.

One of the best places to eat In Pontypridd. The food is really good and the staff work hard. It’s a good night out.

Went on a Friday evening. Very busy atmosphere which was reassuring. Took a while to have our food order taken which was disappointing as the welcome was quite nice, perhaps understaffed? The food was ok, not brilliant, maybe I didn't order the best thing on the menu? But it was just ok. Price was reasonable.

Second visit ordered lasagne it was freezing cold and cutting it felt like rubber ! Sent it back they just ding ding and brought same portion back !absolutely shocking so disappointed tasteless and the manager was very dismissive his reply was would you like a desert ! I will not recommend and certainly not visit again very disappointing as it was a birthday meal

Excellent food and staff defo be going back

Myself and my partner visited in June and had the lunch menu. The food was tasty and the service good too! We ordered a dessert each too and the Tiramisu was the nicest I've ever had! 😋

Me and my husband went there today for Ower anniversary the food was fantastic and the staff were very helpful 👌 10 out of 10

Arrived at the restaurant and was welcomed and seated quickly. We were offered water and any drink orders. Service was quick and food was hot and fresh. The pizza was beautiful. The members of staff that served us were friendly and happy to help throughout our stay. Would definitely go again and recommend this place!

What lovely Italian restaurant . Went for lunch there and was amazed by the service and freshness of the food. Enjoyed all the options we ordered and only cost £14 for a set lunch. Amazing!

Bit of a 'find'! Friendly, quick service, good, tasty food, and generous helpings at a reasonable price.

Beautifully presented delicious food, delightful well timed service given by very polite friendly waitresses.

Fantastic Italian restaurant, really authentic atmosphere and delicious food professionally prepared by the chefs.Very welcoming and friendly staff.

Lovely authentic Italian restaurant. The food is so delicious and very professionally prepared by the chefs and the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. Can't wait to return again this week!

The best restaurant of pontypridd.

Three of us for lunch mid -week. The menu was extensive and appeared to offer good value at £15 for a two courses, so far so good! All downhill from here. The dining room had no atmosphere and had an unattractive smell about it probably from the semi-open kitchen, the food was at best indifferent. Quite the worst calamari I have encountered, greasy carbonara and filet of pork swimming in "gravy" Clearly it works for some as the business is well established and a Ponty institution , then again the choice in the town is very limited

We had a party of 13 and had the Lunch Menu( Early Diner) Wow!! Fantastic value!! The food was excellent, piping hot and good portion sizes. Mixture of pasta, steak and salmon dishes in the party and everybody enjoyed their meals. The staff were friendly and very attentive. Took along a birthday cake which the staff were more than happy to bring out and had the whole restaurant sing Happy Birthday! Highly recommend and will be back to try the Bottomless Prosseco offer.

Staff friendly, food hot freshly cooked, bit run down tho...

I ate very well. very friendly staff relaxing atmosphere quality food and drink. I will definitely be back.

Went in here for food and I gotta say the food was amazing and the price was really good 👍🏻

The pasta dish I had with shin beef was totally tasteless lacked salt pepper herbs & garlic my partner had pizza that looked cooked but was not crispy on the bottom & had to eat it with a knife & fork as if it was picked up as it is meant to be eaten you would have been wearing in don't bother save your money & go to the worst chippy you can find we were in 30mins & in that time we got served drinks ordered served food & eaten paid & left this is fast food on an expensive level

Definitely the best restaurant in the area. And I even say that in London I didn't eat as well as I do here.

Great friendly service. Food was delicious. Lunch set menu was exceptional value for money and portions were a great size.

Average at best. Really underwhelming, wouldn’t return. I’ve been to another of the restaurants in this group and it’s been cracking , but this was so dumbed down. Lack of quality in product and presentation. Shame, real shame.

It's ok , staff are friendly food average..

Nice meal here last night. Bruschetta was a bit overdone leaving a crunchy break. Used to prefer the softer breads for bruschetta they used previously

Lovely food great price really nice atmosphere definitely will be back

Had a meal here the other night as train cancellations meant we couldn't get to our intended destination. The atmosphere and service here was so brilliant, we had a great time and would definitely return. Food was fine, nothing remarkable and I did think I could make it myself with more flavour but no issues. A good spot for a a nicd relaxed evening.

Our party of 13 were well looked after by the Trattoria staff, who went out of their way to ensure a memorable evening for our birthday girl. The food was amazing - a variety of Starters thoroughly enjoyed before the delicious main courses, all of which were of high quality and beautifully presented. The service was swift, the staff polite and courteous, and were happy to organise the birthday cake and music at the end of the meal. We would all recommend Trattoria Pontypridd for excellent food and an enjoyable occasion.

Fabulous service, Fabulous food, friendly and welcoming 🌝

Booked in advance table for a small pre-Christmas party with friends. Asked us for a pre order which we emailed over and they emailed back that it was received. Table in the window at the front of the restaurant as there were 8 of us dining. Pre-ordered drinks came pretty much as soon as we sat down and the starters not long after. Super fast service. Mains all came out pretty much together along with side orders. Everyone in the party was very impressed with the food. All staff were extremely friendly, attentive and we were served by at least 5 different team members who all kept an eye on us. Can’t recommend enough! Thank you Trattoria 🎄

Calamari under cooked , 10 chips , some beef fritter thing was just awful , 25 ponds for a bottle of red wich was a screw top .! Feel ripped off , never again .

Excellent service from busy staff

Food is amazing and the staff ate so friendly and helpful.

Evening meal was very tasty, as per usual. I like Italian food and this place does it really well. You won't be disappointed.

Visited for lunch with friends yesterday, we used this restaurant frequently before covid and it was excellent, but what a disappointment, everyone said how tasteless their meal was , port was in a sauce with no flavour, the sauce with the chicken was thin and was like the juice from a tin of tomatoes, the beef that we thought would be a stew, was just like a spaghetti bolognaise. But with 2 different pastas, as if they were using bits up The service was good and the food was hot, that’s the only good thing I can say, we ended up going to Alfred’s for drinks and coffee after as we couldn’t wait to leave We will never visit again I would give a zero if I could

Nice Italian restaurant capturing flavour just right. Staff was also welcoming and a nice experience altogether.

Very nice, great value for money for the quality of food here

Great food and good vale. Friendly service.

Very impressed with my visit. We had pizza and it was delicious and the price was very good. Loved the atmosphere. The staff were very helpful. The drinks selection was amazing. I will definitely be returning and can’t wait.

Not the best of visits. Ordered spaghetti and was given fussili. Offered to change dish but was too hungry. No real apology given. The main problem was how SPICY the pasta was. Left half of it as it was just too overwhelming spicy, Pizza over fermented (spelt and tasted like alchohol) my friend doesn’t drink alchohol so that was concerning to her. Orders raspberry gin. Out of stock. Ordered blackberry. out of stock. Was given blackberry anyway lol. Waited 15 mins for a takeaway box and had to reask. Mentioned before leaving was unhappy and just ignored haha. Such a shame as decor is lovely and had such potential. I’ll stick with f&b next time for some friendly service and nicer food.

Stunning food all freshly cooked. Staff lovely and friendly..

Food is good and the service is pretty good too. Nothing too flashy but a fantastic selection of both food and drink. A great place to go with family or on a date!

Overall, I would give trattoria a 4/5, food was lovely, hot as it came out and more than satisfying. I was a little disappointed to find a hair in my calzone on my last bite but chose not to mention it at the restaurant, I had eaten 99% of it so wouldn't have changed anything. Hasn't changed my perception though and will definitely return.

We visited this restaurant yesterday early evening. There was alot of customers standing around who had obviously eaten and due to leave. We were shown to a Table. Then someone plonked a bottle of warm water on the table then we were ignored. It was only the fact that I glared at a waitress on the other side of server that she got someone to take our order. Food was average and my partner had salmon..no way was it fresh. Gordon Ramsey would have had a field day! Give this a miss in future. Been to a few Italian restaurants and this has to be the worst. Unless you don't have taste buds..would NOT recommend!

Lovely food, only prob...the bill wasn't itemised and we were 10 having lunch.

Awful service and very poor food, the member of staff also walked away when I gave negative feedback. All in all a woeful restaurant!

We had a large group ‘family reunion/80th birthday’ meal on a Saturday night, so probably the busiest day and at the busiest time of the night and the service was outstanding! All staff were friendly and courteous and really went the extra mile. The main course was ordered in advance but on the night we ordered first course and desserts! Completely problem free! It was a well oiled machine. This made a special night even more special.

I have been frequenting the restaurant since it opened years ago. The food is perfectly cooked and the staff are very attentive. Suitable for romantic meals or a business lunch, and any occasion inbetween

Delightful restaurant and charming staff one member made the evening very special a very enthusiastic waiter who was a true pleasure to meet totally professional in his service and a real credit to this meal , the food was stunning and can’t wait to go back quality all the way Thankyou to all and nuccio he’s a gem

Had a lovely meal as always. Food great. Giuseppe is very accommodating, friendly nothing too much trouble. An asset to the restaurant. We will be back.

We celebrated a family members birthday at Trattoria recently. There was 16 of us in total, food was fantastic as always. The staff were attentive and very accommodating. We visit often and always have a fabulous time and leave full.

Great calzone and lovely local cider, I would definitely visitbagain.

Delicious food Calamari starter Steak for my wife which was absolutely delicious Shin beef with pasta for me which also was delicious Cheescake for dessert which we shared as we were so full after the main meals The host Guiseppe was ever so welcoming and very friendly . Thank you for a lovely Italian meal Highly recommend

Absolutely delicious! One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in the UK and this restaurant is a great random find! Definitely try this if you ever visit!

Excellent meal and lovely meal and sun was shining so it felt like we were in Italy. Shared our sea bass and salmon meal

First visit but will not be the last. Excellent food great service. Tiramisu was something else. Wife loved the Apple cake. Dont miss it.

Absolutely amazing will definitely return 5*****

Food was very good and the staff were excellent

Booked a birthday meal with two friends not seen for ages . This is third visit where food is really nice and good value but feel so rushed to the point it feels like they can’t wait for you to leave to clear table There’s...

We have visited the Trattoria 3 times so far when visiting Pontypridd for work. We can’t visit without coming here to eat! The food is outstanding- we can particularly recommend the Tiramisu, so save room for it. The early-bird (before 7pm) of 2 courses for...

My partner and I treated ourselves for a well deserved meal at this wonderful venue. The service was fantastic and the mussels and sea bass was out of this world. Definitely recommended and we will visit again next month. Well done guys... refreshing!

such friendly and tentative staff. set evening menu was delightful, enough choice for all dietary requirements, I told them I only had an hour due to work commitments. all food brought piping hot and in good time, very tasty and very good value for money....

Lively atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent food at a reasonable price. Slightly slow on the service but the wait is worth it in the end. Will be going again for sure.

Lovely food, great price, lovely staff

In the past have always enjoyed but last night very disappointing, paid £14.95 for a chicken dish with not even a pea on the plate had to pay £3.95 for very small portion of chips, staff not as pleasant at all, will be a long time before we returned, s

As the title mentions, it has been a while since we last came here. The food is standard and nothing special. Charged us extras which we didn’t have. Loads of staff not doing anything, standing behind the bar on their phones/talking, only few were actually...

We used to visit very regularly pre pandemic and this was our first visit since 2019. We were shocked at how it had deteriorated. Having food intolerances I mentioned this straight away and was told by the manager that I could have gf pasta or...

Delicious food and good, pleasant service. I always enjoy dining here.

Mussel starter was lovely Prawn starter was nice not overly excitable mind Ordered the dearest item on menu and I could've made it at home better prawns were tasteless everything was over cooked over deep fat fried I couldn't eat it all it was so chewy and what looked like a sauce reminded me of warm left out butter. Husband had the veal and it reminded us more of a frozen schnitzel it was rubbery and awful!! Had to ask for the cocktail menu but the waitress didn't seem as if she wanted to even get it!!! The other two waitress young girl with dark hair and one with blonde hair I didn't see their names buy very lovely.. Not sure what I expected but I was totally gutted nagged the hubby to go and we was both ver disappointed 😔

Disgusting attitude from staff. Not at all understanding despite the reservation cancellation being advance notice and Covid-19 related.

Recently visited the Trattoria with my wife, two daughters, and their respective partners, plus three grand children. We had a 6.00pm sitting due to the ages of the grand children, 9, 8 & 4. We were greeted on arrival and taken to our tables, offered...

Had mussels and arancini to start . Mussels OK but 8 closed mussels is disappointing and means that they aren't checked for freshness. Not a lot of taste on the arancini. Lasagne was delicious and staff were friendly. Good atmosphere. I would say poor starters...

Nice place.good service. Friendly.

Excellent service, Bolognese was perfect and they offer Gluten free across the menu for my partner. What a gem in our town.

Dissatisfied. First time visiting since Covid Staters Ordered bruschetta. It came on the most burnt sourdough bread that I could not even put my knife through. I was not happy, they did replace. Mains Ordered risotto. It came on a bed oil. I literally couldn’t...

We always love coming here, the food is fantastic quality and the price is very reasonable. The service is efficient. The one thing stopping me giving 5* is the lack of baby change facilities in the men's bathroom. We visited as a family and brought our son along. Due to it being my wife's birthday I made sure my son was being taken care of so she could enjoy her time until nature called. There were baby change facilities in the women's bathrooms but not the men's. I ended up changing my son on a mat We brought with us on the bathroom floor. It just made me wonder why the assumption Is made that men won't be needing these facilities where women will? This is not meant to criticise merely highlight something I noticed, the place is fantastic and everybody was happy. I would return in a heartbeat.

Standards have certainly dropped since I was last here. Starters Formaggio Fritto.... is that Italuan for congealed mozzarella???? Absolutely disgusting returned 😡😡 Followed by Lasagne which would have best been served with a spoon 😡😡 Dessert - cheesecake. Best part of a very very disappointing...

Excellent food and lovely service.

Gorgeous Italian restaurant with authentic Italian food. The starters are dreamy and the mains are perfection. The beef shin pasta is multo bene. Fab range of gluten free options too, (any pasta topping, with GF penne). Our favorite restaurant in Pontypridd.

Service was OK. I had Bolognese and it just tasted of vinegar. My husband had a pizza which was nice but over cooked. I expected better if I'm honest.

Don't know if it's accustics but very loud lasagna was beautiful starter mozzarella in breadcrumbs not so nice couldn't taste any garlic in the arioli just looked like and tasted like yellow butter service hit and miss but it was quite busy

Lovely food every time I have visited here

Have regularly, over the years, enjoyed every meal here. Staff are great, it's comfortable & clean, decent choice in food & wine. Nice to get back post covid. The early evening dining is super value at £14 for 3 courses. Portions could be larger maybe...

I'm not a fan of Italian food but went here for a staff meal. Decoration was good, resteraunt was clean and service was good considering the size of the group. However it was the loudest resteraunt I've ever been in and it was impossible to talk. As I said, I'd never choose to go to an Italian restaurant so I might not be the best judge, but my bill was £20 for a drink, a few slices of bread with olive oil and a pasta tomato sauce for main. To me this is VERY expensive for a meal that probably cost no more than £2.50 to make. If Italian food is your thing it's probably a good place to go. But I found it expensive for what it is.

Great resturant, staff are lovely and food is great. Accidentally left my glasses there and had them back safe and sound!

Amazing food, really good service and was a great place all around. Would definitely recommend to try this place at least once👏

Best pizza in Wales!! Also great value for takeaway 🍕. Fantastic atmosphere in the restaurant.

Such a lovely meal here last night. Good atmosphere in the restaurant and fan service. Would recommend and will be eating here again

We didn't book, so the waitress had to check if we could sit at one of the empty tables. We sat by the window (with a very big crack in it). We didn't go for the lunch menu as we were not sure of the...

Lovely place to meet up and have drinks

Lovely fast service delicious food! Lovely waitressing staff.

Best Italian in Pontypridd:) staff lovely friendly , food always good quality fresh and full flavour , fantastic service never again will I visit another venue !

We enjoyed our early supper here. A good choice of dishes, reasonably priced house wine, and attentive, but not overbearing service. The food is traditional (in a good way), not presumptuous, and tasty. Only one suggestion to improve things even more- keep salad leaves fresher.

Disgusted to order a vegetarian main full of chicken! Left feeling sick after eating some of the dish to discover that instead of chunks of mushrooms covered in sauce I was in fact pulling out chicken. I can understand accidents happen but this was literally...

Lovely evening with family, food was good , the staff were friendly and the choc dessert was awesome.
