The best restaurants serving Italian food in The Vale of Glamorgan South East

Very good food, excellent customer service. Authentic italian food, whilst having a small cosy family run feeling.

Visited here the first time with wife and friends all who had been before. Was impressed. Friendly welcome and courteous staff, quite big on the inside. I had steak cooked perfect while my friend had a pizza, the girls had the hake meal which looked and tasted fantastic. Drinks ok, wanted ale and had to have bottled doombar as none on draught. Drinks and food about correctly priced for this type of establishment. Will be going back for a second visit as lots of choice on the menu I'd like to try.

It's a small, family run restaurant. The food and service are excellent. The a la carte price is also very reasonable. The lunch time set menu even more reasonable! Need to book another visit soon.

What a fab meal. Pizza was great. Olives yum!! Nothing to say but thank you for a lovely meal :-)) Will be back to enjoy more of the menu !

I called to book a table . I was simply told bookings are online only, no niceities and before I could explain that I couldn’t get online they had put the phone down. So if this is the customer experience before walking in, what’s it like when you’re in there!

Looking at various food options in Penarth we saw some good reviews for this place. As we got close the smell of what was to come drew me in! I wasn’t disappointed. Excellent pizza, value, friendly service. Will return.

After cycling around the vale we ending up in ignore. Had a meal at the surf shack. Very good food good prices

A Real Shame – Great Coffee, Awful Staff It’s an absolute shame that Coffee #1 serves such high-quality coffee because the experience is completely ruined by the rude, miserable staff. The place itself is somewhat clean, but the service is consistently terrible. Every time I’ve visited, I’ve been met with the same gloomy, unfriendly faces—it always seems to be the same women working there, and they clearly have no interest in making customers feel welcome. As someone who works in a café myself, I understand how demanding the job can be, but that’s no excuse to be so rude—especially when people are paying premium prices for their drinks. The worst experience I had was when my group simply moved a few chairs so we could all sit together, only to be snapped at and told to move them back. This happened multiple times, making us feel like an inconvenience rather than valued customers. I won’t be returning to Coffee #1—no matter how good the coffee is, the service completely ruins it. If you’re paying top prices, you should at least expect basic courtesy, but apparently, that’s too much to ask here. Avoid it unless you enjoy being treated like a nuisance.

Beautiful Italian cuisine, friendly service and a great atmosphere

Our first visit. Staff very aware of what my Gluten Free other dietary needs entailed. I don’t often choose burgers but our meals (both the same) were superb (and my g/f bap was fresh) . Staff were attentive and as we say in Wales ‘hyfryd’ (just lovely).
