Zia Nina in Bridgend

Booked to go with friends. Staff very attentive, menu good. All had starters and mains. Starters came , I had the arancini, very tasty , but the waiter started clearing the plates whilst a couple of us were still eating and then the main meal came and I hadn’t finished my starter ! So straight into the Mail meal - seafood risotto- all enjoyed our meal, but in the night terrible pains in my stomach and I had sickness and diarrhoea throughout the night ! I was the only one to have seafood and the only one Ill Shame as the food was tasty.

Thank you so much for everything you did I'm so sorry about the cake it won't happened again 🙏

Called for drinks as - welcome was great . Very friendly helpful staff … I have eaten here before great food and good value Sat on roof top bar - definitely recommend to anyone

Good food and the service was amazing Lovely find for a Friday afternoon Steak with blue cheese sauce cooked to perfection and the lasagne was also so tasty and fresh. The Italian wine was a lovely compliment to our dinner. Will most definitely return.

Back again!! Went for lunch in August for a friends birthday lunch, great welcome from Nadim and the staff. Food excellent as always and we all (6 of us) really enjoyed our food. Really good value for money and always happy leaving there. I'll be back soon and thanks to all the staff.

Lunch with family. Great food, service and value. Thank you.

Stopped in for lunch today, just made it in time for last orders and certainly wasn’t disappointed. We ordered Con Pollo and steak, wow ! Absolutely amazing food, highly recommended. Thank you

From walking in , very welcoming and warm professional service Starter and steaks for £18.95 Calamari was gorgeous Steak very tasty and tender Great draft larger Excellent value and could not fault service or quality of food Kamile was very professional and a lovely waitress Many thanks guys See you soon

Just had a lovely lunch . Goat cheese starter was amazing. Both main courses were well cooked and presented beautifully . Tasted great. The waitress was super helpful and efficient. A truly great restaurant. Will be back soo.

Hadn't been to Zia for a while but were delighted with our lunch time meal today. Food was excellent and priced reasonably. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Went up to the outside terrace for a drink. Great overall experience.

Amazing food and service , visited for my wife’s 50th birthday , we always come here for special occasions as it’s the place i proposed to my wife many years ago ! As always everyone enjoyed their food .

Absolutely amazing service very friendly helpful and professional staff fantastic freshly cooked food and fantastic cocktails

This Italian restaurant is simply fantastic.  The ambience, the staff, the food, and the drinks are second to none. Went to stay in Bridgend to visit friends for 3 nights. We ate at Zia Nina for 2 evenings. The food was absolutely gorgeous. The staff are so friendly, professional and polite. Joey, one of the waiters who is a mere 19 years old, was wonderful. So courteous and on the ball. He's a credit to the restaurant (and his parents). Nedim, the owner, welcomes every visitor with a genuine, warm welcome. I really can't rate this place high enough and recommend that you should eat there. You won't be disappointed 😌

Food was lovely but couldn’t eat risotto as it had mushrooms in it which was not shown on the ingredients and have an allergy so had to go in the bin. Wish that all main ingredients were included on menu

The lamb was amazing, the service excellent, the only flaw we were hoping to find was the legendary Saverio

The food was amazing! The Carbonara was to die for! The garlic bread was the best I've ever had! My partner said his Lasagne was incredible! They are not shy at all with the parmigiano reggiano so it made my day . The icing on the cake was the wonderful staff service! So attentive, and I was even offered a blanket when we went to sit outside after food! Would highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back again!

We hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner at Zia Nina and I couldn't recommend more for any group events. We were able to rent out the entire first floor and terrace for around 50 guests, and everything about the experience was impeccable - the food was delicious with huge portions and reasonable prices, the service was attentive and the owner Michael took care of all of our needs, and the atmosphere was bright and cozy. Thank you so much for the incredible night and for all of the help planning the event in advance!

Everything was fantastic, the only reason I didn't give 5 star was when ordering merlot for the meal we were given Isla Negra . Which we didn't say anything is £5 in Tesco and priced £22 plus in restaurant

The Pizza Pollo was tasty and delicious. The cheese was loaded on top of the pizza and chicken and beef was juicy. Cozy place for dinner and friendly staff.

Never been before, thought it was great.

Superb. Always, always superb. Favourite place to eat in Bridgend, there is zero contest for us. Service is second to none. Caprino, mushroom ravioli, calamari and chicken breast. Followed by an elderflower spritzer and a chocolate brownie with ice cream. Yum!

I have had to go to the restaurant myself to collect it its over 2 hours late I'm not happy at all

Everything about this place is fantastic. The food and wine is top class, the staff are excellent and the place always smells amazing

It was my first visit here to celebrate a family birthday and the whole experience was wonderful. The staff were kind and helpful, the food was absolutely delicious. I had the lasagna and I would highly recommend it but all of my family who ordered a variety of different options were happy with their choices. I was also very impressed with the effort they went to to make the birthday feel special. Thank you and I can't wait to come back and try some of the other food options.

such a friendly environment, service was great and the food was amazing.

Another great meal at Zia Nina. Always great service. Our favourite Italian restaurant 😍

Very nice evening with husband and friend

Food is very average, portions are quite small and expensive. There are better Italian places in Bridgend than that one. Not coming back.

Recently went to zia Nina for a family meal and it was fantastic. The food was delicious and they were very accommodating for my lactose intolerant neice. Shall definitely be visiting again!

Lovely interior, can be quite cramped and noisy, food is a little expensive for the quality and service can be a bit hectic. Would go again.

Amazing food. Outstanding service. Kept very clean and the ambiance was very nice! Thank you to the staff for a wonderful experience.

Good quality. Very welcoming restaurant Would recommend.

Omg the best tiramisu I have ever tasted 😍 I actually for the 1st time in my life ordered a second dessert it was that good!!!! Staff are friendly and welcoming

This place is impeccable…on every level. Food, service, atmosphere and people. This is the best Italian food we’ve tasted and the service is second to none…They can’t do enough for you. Definitely recommended 🌟 x

Reminds me of a old Italian restaurant I eat at in Edinburgh

Lovely place and atmosphere, first visit on the weekend and we'd definitely visit again. Food was amazing and fast service. Also friendly staff which makes a big difference. Well done team!

Excellent lunch with friends, very attentive waitress and not expensive

We visited for my wife’s birthday. The food, wine and service was excellent as usual.

Absolutely best pizza ever! Really delicious 🤤

Spaghetti was like rubber, and the meatballs were too hard

Great food and service friendly staff will definitely be going back.

Absolutely love this place the staff are so friendly and the food is the best you will have In this town. Could not recommend enough.

Brilliant night out with family all was perfect. Thank you.

Come here a few times now, great food and great service.

Called in on Tuesday afternoon and it was still quite full, food was really good and quick service

Lovely meal, great waiting staff, nice surroundings, no complaints

The meatballs were good put the spaghetti wasn't very nice

Love this place food is always amazing and staff friendly. 2 course lunch menu is a brill offer

The food was good, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. Portions could've been a little bigger, especially on the dessert. But all in all was a good experience.

We visited for a work meal out, We could not ask for a better experience I had arancini and steak And it was incredible, Staff were lovely and helpful, all enjoyed Will be back with my family

Great Food and service. Excellent value from the set menu. Highly recommend a try!

Had a delicious lunch this afternoon, great service, lovely relaxed atmosphere! Highly recommend and we will be back soon! Thank you x

Have eaten here many times over the years & have always enjoyed great service & great meals. Today was a little different though. No idea if the staff were overstretched or not but things didn't go as olanned. We were celebrating our mum's birthday. There were 3 of us. One starter was incorrect but the staff rectified this quickly without complaint. Then, as a vegetarian, I ordered a vegetarian main, only to find I had a mouthful of chicken! Luckily I'm not a fanatical vegetarian so I wasn't about to have a meltdown. Again this was rectified immediately & a pudding thrown in (for one) to compensate. Tbf, the staff couldn't be any more apologetic than they were & I ended up feeling guilty!! I won't hold this against them & would still recommend this restaurant as a good place to visit.

We enjoyed the experience, service excellent and the food was really good. It was my first time there. I will be going there again I'd like to try more food from the menu.

Long delivery time - delivery window kept getting extended. Food arrived cold and not to the best standard. Food much better eating in restaurant!

Great food, very tasty and good portions too.

One of my favourite restaurants in Bridgend. Beautiful food and excellent service

Pizza excellent. Missing drink had refund. Chips a bit soggy and poor didn’t eat. But will know next time just get pizza when are good.

Food was excellent, and portion sizes

So came here last night 13th oct. 9 of us 2 of which 2 young kids. Had starter , calamari this was ok, sauce was nice. Main was lovely which was lasagne really quite tasty it came with chips which were nothing special if im honest, i ordered a side of garlic bread with it which was nice, The host was a nice guy very chatty, the staff seemed a little clumsy if im honest, just as we sat down a tray of drinks went down the back of my sister because the waitress wasn't looking what she was doing although accidents do happen so no biggy, although I will say nothing was offered! No extra drinks, a free starter, nothing!!! This brings me on to the cost. Not much beer choice at all, consisting of draught peroni which was ( are you sitting down) £6.50 a pint! So I ordered a bottle of bishops finger which i thought was a 500ml bottle, it didn't say on the menu the size of the drink which i think it should have, Well the bottle came and it was a 330ml bottle!! 🤔 £4.70 for a 330ml bottle!!! im sorry but thats to much, come on guys. We all had a starter and a main with dessert each, i had the newyork cheesecake, which was ok but tasted abit like something frozen, didn't seem home made to me anyway. The Total bill came to just over £400!!! (£60 of which was a service charge i was told by someone on the table, but the owner has now said that there was no service charge so if this is the case then i apologise), we were a decent size group but you know when you've gone somewhere and feel that the cost is just too much. Nice restaurant but too expensive imo.

Lovely place for a relaxed lunch 👍

Food arrived cold and underwhelming, over £18 for a single pizza you expect a bit more than a lousy cold pizza

Absolutely delicious! And delivered really hot, pizza still crispy.

Ordered food, however it was never delivered. Restaurant told me to speak to just eat who have not responded at present. £40 worth of food ordered and nothing received.

What a gem of a restaurant. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. Lovely!

Very beautiful restaurant, very pretty inside too. Catered well for gluten-free, many options. The staff treat you like family there , the look of the restaurant is also extremely cosy and romantic. The timings of the food were brilliant too .

Firts time here after they have reopen & will definitely be returning. We went with family of 6 lunch time menu 2 course £15.95 & food was delicious, lovely welcoming staff

Excellent restaurant. Food is very good along with the service. Good value, will recommend and will be back

Excellent restaurant. Food very good along with the service. We'll recommended.

Went for my 35th birthday. It was delicious. There was such a wide range of choices! They even took alergens in to consideration which I think is amazing! The food was fresh and the wait wasn't too long. The waitress was upbeat and very polite which is nice to see!

Have eaten at Zia Nina for manyyears but today's birthday lunch was so disappointing. Most of our 4 meals were left uneaten and when asked by the waitress if anything was wrong we did explain we found the food bland, undercooked and tasteless. She referred the comments to the owner/cook who replied that the food was as it should be. Very disappointing reaction and totally unacceptable customer service to a genuine complaint. We did pay the bill and left, never to return under any circumstances and we all agreed it was the worst meals we have ever been served at a restaurant!!!

Fast delivery but the food wasn't great.

We arrived on a hot lunchtime with not a lot of time to spare. We were served without problem and really enjoyed our 2 course lunch. I would recommend as there is much choice. A very pleasant atmosphere, windows wide open so not stifling heat at all. Given helpful tips about more convenient parking in the future too. Will definitely visit in the future.

Fantastic place and people ❤️😍 a food is great 👍

Fantastic meal as always three of us had sirloin and chips with various sauces and one chicken absolutely delicious. Desert also amazing. Would highly recommend. The atmosphere is warm and friendly we have been made to feel like part of the Zia Nina family by Michael , James and Kirsten . It is also very good value for money. Thank you 😊 😊😊😊

Everything about Zia Nina is quality, from the way the tables are laid to give it an intimate feel, but also a restful distance from your neighbours, to the music, the wait staff and the food, all of it combines to make a unique experience. Zia Nina prides themselves on quality food, quality service and giving their customers a great time. We love it here and it's always a treat to eat out

Fantastic evening out for our anniversary. Food was delicious as always, service was fantastic as always. The stairs to the upstairs and the new gin terrace are quite steep but that's literally the only thing I can find to mention that is in any way negative. This place is a firm favourite. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return.

Brilliant place for a nice evening out. Great food and great staff, will always be going back. Thanks to all the staff who looked after us, and also to the kitchen staff.

Very good quality food at a good price with generous portions. Staff accommodating with beer on tap, nice little restaurant, will be back.

superb quality and service would highly recommend

We ordered Italian meatballs x 4 people main meals. At £6.50 a pop, 4 small meatballs in each one. Are you serious? I can hope that's a mistake and not something typical.

Great food, service was amazing, very cosy atmosphere.

We ate here two nights running as we really enjoyed our first visit. We hadn’t booked either night but it was no problem, we were welcomed and shown straight to a table both nights. The service, ambiance and food were superb and the food good value. Will definitely return when next in Bridgend.

Food was incredible, service was impeccable and atmosphere was congenial

Cozy hidden secret lunch gem. Everything tastes fresh, tasty steak. Really good value for money. Friendly prompt service from staff

I ordered Fusilli Pesto but received Con Pollo, definitely no asparagus or spinach in my pasta but lots of chicken!

What a great experience. ⭐️ Myself, husband, sister and children visited the restaurant this evening including my 4 year old son that has a Milk and Soya allergy. Going out for food can be really stressful as my son normally has to miss out on something or can’t have the same as his sister/cousins. Tonight was the first time that he was able to have a main and a desert that was suitable for him and off the menu. The staff were so helpful and the food was really good. We will definitely be back. What a lovely experience. Thank you so much. We have a very happy 4 year old 🤩

Spent a lovely two hours enjoying a pint and very good chicken and chorizo pasta. The other food on the menu looked very appetising and so it was hard to choose. Service was excellent and the host even more so. Highly recommend.

Not cooked fresh. Just reheated and not cooked throu. Meant was tasteless and hard. Spaghetti tough and over heated. Won’t be ordering again.

Booked a large table for 11, service was very efficient and delicious food. Busy with a good atmosphere, would recommend.

As always, a fantastic meal from Zia Nina and perfectly timed!

It states order delivered but it hasn’t arrived

Came here 24/04/23 (forgot to leave a review at the time only just looking through my photos which has reminded me) was served by a a girl with black hair and i am only just getting into fresh fish and she assured me that the ‘ ‘fish of the day’ which was game wasn’t overpowering and i would most likely like it and she was right, really friendly and helpful, beautiful restaurant and once in the restaurant you really get the feel your in an italian restaurant. great prices and will definitely be returning! :)

Food is absolutely beautiful, fresh and tasty

My daughter and I went for lunch today and we were delighted with swift service, fantastic food. The staff were excellent at taking into consideration my daughters shellfish allergy

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing place. A special occasion or a romantic meal it really is a treat to dine here.

Nice Italian restaurant in Bridgend Town centre. Reasonable prices and hot, tasty food. We were a large party of 20, who each paid £10pp deposit, which they forgot to take off our bill initially. Sorted in the end, but was a bit of a hassle at the end of the evening, which was avoidable. Apart from that, all was OK.

Lovely service, nice atmosphere and excellent food. We chose from the great value lunch menu. Our meals were delicious, hot and tasty. The highlight was probably my partner's medium-rare 10oz sirloin which was perfectly cooked and rested, and she loved her mushroom sauce (although there wasn't enough of it).

Lovely restaurant. Our steak was tender and tasty, we had a lovely waitress enjoyed our meal.

A wonderful risotto as usual! Thanks for an enjoyable evening xxx
