Very Clean and well run restaurant. Lots of tables inside and out (needed to be as very busy at 11am) Can order at the counter once you know a table number, or at the table there is a QR code that once scanned takes you to the menu and ordering via this is very easy and quick. Drinks and cake at table within 5 minutes. Very enjoyable visit 👍

Rainy visit to Mumbles, 1st time there. Verdis looked impressive, Ordered 2 Mocha's, a Carrot cake and a Chocolate cake, best part of £18, don't mind if it's nice,sadly was awful,Mocha was lukewarm and looked like watered down dishwater,no real taste, Carrot cake very dry, topping was just icing,no cream cheese, choc cake the same dry and tasteless, we both left drinks and most of cake, well our dog had a bit of Carrot cake ! . Would not go again.

Our first visit, fantastic outlook across the bay and as you would expect...busy. There was paid parking close by and some street parking. Good disabled access and clean toilets. The food not cheap but really nice and quick service with the tables cleared and cleaned all the time. There's also a nice choice of cakes and ice creams. Yes I Would recommend but I expect it's very busy on hot days.

Lovely place. Ice cream was one of the best I've ever had. Ordered a rocket lettuce and prawn sandwich, which was average. This was served with crisps and a mixed leaf salad with a thousand island sauce. I've been coming to Verdi's for years - when it gets very busy, a few prompts may be required for food.

Lovely location but a great shame they don’t have an inside dog friendly area. The weather wasn’t great when we visited and having to sit outside with the dogs was a real disappointment. The outside dog area was full and everyone said the same thing - section off an area inside and welcome people with well behaved dogs or we’ll take our spending power elsewhere.

Lovely lunch time buzz here in this popular Mumbles seafront restaurant. The sea defence works have obviously not put off people from enjoying the fare here. The spag Bol and the lamb soup (I would call it cawl)were rich in meat , plentiful and very tasty. The food appeared very quickly after ordering. A good general choice of plates was available and service good. A very positive experience.

A lovely restaurant at the lower end of Mumbles, just next to the water access slipway. Nice view across the bay if you get a seat near the window, or outside, but it tends to be very busy at the weekends. Great staff, eager to attend to every need, and aesthetics is very nice, it feels like good quality across the board, even the toilets were well kept. The food was gorgeous - very large portions as well, but keep a space for dessert, as their ice cream sundaes are amazing! Not much space for wheelchair access, but no steps, so I'm sure the ever helpful staff would happily accommodate you if asked. Limited gluten free options, I was surprised that the sandwich/baguette section didn't have a gluten free option. There are a few vegetarian options, but again not extensive. The two veggie dishes we went for were delicious. They have specials on the board, so look out for those for extra options. Car park next to (100yds) the restaurant is pay and display, charges are standard for Mumbles area. It's a bit of a walk from here to the shops and other places of interest in the area, but still a lovely place to eat if out for a day in Mumbles.

I recently visited Verdi’s in Mumbles and was deeply disappointed by the attitude of the manager on duty. During my visit, I observed the manager, a young blonde lady, treating the staff in an incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful manner. Throughout the day, I witnessed her making harsh and belittling remarks to the team. It’s one thing to manage staff, but it’s entirely different and unacceptable to demean them in front of customers. It was clear that the atmosphere among the staff was tense and uncomfortable, which seemed to reflect in the overall service. The manager's inability to handle her team with respect and professionalism undoubtedly contributes to the service issues that Verdi’s has been facing. I expect a much higher standard from a place like Verdi’s. I have enjoyed Verids for many years but witnessing such behavior has seriously made me reconsider returning. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and that the management takes the necessary steps to address these issues. No one should be subjected to such treatment, especially in a workplace. Sincerely, Elinor

I popped in for the coffee and some dessert. Because I am a big fan of tiramisu, I choose this traditional Italian dessert and a cup of flat white. The service was fast and correct, I asked some questions and I got the answers, and as I observed any abandoned table around us, was cleaning fast, which is all in plus. I have been recently in another restaurant in Swansea and I saw dirty dishes and glasses on the table next to me for more than 40 min, even though 3 members of waiting team did literally nothing during this period. But let me back to Verdis. The coffee was flavorful and with some latte art on top, the cup and the saucer were clean (I have bad experience with another places) and I really enjoyed my drink. But unfortunately my tiramisu was more than disappointing. Very sweet top made of something, but definitely not mascarpone, no coffee flavour at all and a bit of alcohol taste in the bottom part. I am 47 and it was my worst experience with tiramisu so far. The good tiramisu for me is smooth mix of mascarpone cheese, with soaked in coffee and amaretto sponge fingers, but not through, then mascarpone on top and finally dusted with cocoa powder. This one was miles away from my standard. I recommend the place for the good coffee, fast service, clean place, but I advise against buying tiramisu.

This restaurant has a great position and it’s lovely to sit and enjoy the view. It sits loads of people and does feel a bit like a canteen in the way they serve you but I think because it’s so big it’s the only way they can meet everyone’s needs. Service is quick once the order is placed and the staff were nice and friendly. The tea was tea, the hot chocolate was nice, the chocolate cake was ok and the garlic bread with mozzarella was very disappointing. I’d go back for tea, coffee and snacks again but the garlic bread was one of the worst I’ve seen so probably wouldn’t choose to have lunch or dinner there. Saying that, it was heaving so they must be doing something right. One more thing, the ladies loos are disgusting. I had to squeeze past other people as it’s such a small hand wash area and they smelt awful.

This is a lovely restaurant, very nice to sit and eat in.. I will say though that one of the waiters was hovering a little. No sooner had we put cutlery down the plate was taken immediately. So it felt like we were being rushed a bit.. The food itself was lovely. The only thing is the sea bass had skin left on. I don't mind this but it should have been crisped up.
