The best restaurants serving Italian food in Cathays Cardiff South Wales

Food was lovely, my brother thought it was one of the best risottos he has ever eaten. Wasn’t too pricey, and service was fast.

Solo tenía una bebida, pero si soy honesto no me sorprendió. por dentro es pequeño y el personal no era el más accesible. las bebidas estaban bien - nada especial, pero razonable para el centro de la ciudad. agradables asientos fuera

I recently visited Coco Gelato for dessert and overall had a great experience, though there were a couple of moments that stood out in a not-so-great way. I ordered the peanut butter waffle paired with bounty ice cream, an indulgent combination that turned out to be absolutely delicious. The waffle was freshly made, warm, and had a lovely crispness to it, while the peanut butter sauce and coconut chocolate flavor of the ice cream complemented each other perfectly. It was rich, satisfying, and definitely hit the spot. I did ask for extra white chocolate sauce on my waffle, and that’s where things got a little awkward. The woman behind the counter told me she had to check with her boss for a price, which is totally understandable. However, what felt a bit uncomfortable was that the boss seemed to feel the need to look at me before deciding how much to charge. It gave off the impression that she was making a judgment based on appearance or something subjective, which felt off-putting and unprofessional. Eventually, I was told it would be £1.50 for the extra sauce, which I was happy to pay, but the whole interaction could’ve been handled in a more neutral, consistent way. Aside from that, there were lots of positives. The place was clean and welcoming, and I really appreciated the fact they offered free water refills with cups readily available. It’s a small thing, but it shows thoughtfulness towards customers. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, with early 2000s hit music playing, which gave the whole experience a nice nostalgic vibe. All in all, the dessert itself was excellent, and most aspects of the visit were enjoyable. I’d definitely return, though I’d hope for a more consistent and respectful approach to customer interactions in the future. With just a little more polish on the service side, this place could easily be a five star gem

Not a great experience this time around. Starter was cold but they did fix that pretty quickly to be fair. Overall food was very salty and definitely not as nice as it has been. The place is looking tired (and toilets didn't feel clean). It's convenient but very expensive. It used to be the place to go to after/before the theatre but will be looking around for a new place next time.

We loved the fabulous food and Sapphire was really efficient and super helpful

We ate here last night an as the prezzo usual the food was 10/10!! First time in Cardiff. RADHIKA was amazing!! As a group of 9 including kids she dealt with us amazingly, she was polite, patient and got everything right. She is a credit to the restaurant.

Connie was so lovely and welcoming, super quick service too

Came to Cardiff today, first time in over a year, we had our obligatory visit to Giovannis. My daughters had the cheese croquettes, spaghetti bolognaise, my partner had the Arrabbiata extra spicy and I had the home made lasagne. Cannot fault this place. Excellence service and the food is outstanding. If you like home made Italian food this is the place

Fantastic restaurant with amazing staff Juliana and anya where superb with their service and the pizza was cooked to perfection

Bit of a barn being based in an old bank building , but the food, staff, and service are excellent. I particularly like their rustic pizzas and cannot eat a whole one so I generally cut it in half and take it home. Somewhat of an American tradition I found in the past year. I reckon for a fast food type place it's really jolly good. Better than most pizza places in Cardiff. Permanently closed. Being replaced by one of six by Nico.

A party of 30 for my husbands BIG birthday, in the face of chaos the service was calm and accommodating with people forgetting what they ordered or changing their minds. The food came out hot and quickly and was lovely. And finally, the drinks kept flowing. Cannot praise them highly enough for the way they looked after us, many thanks.

Never recived food. Paid order not delivered
