The best restaurants serving Italian food in Cathays Cardiff South Wales

My wife and I went over this venue for dinner and tried their italian burger, the flavour was amazing but I recommend only for great italian food fans, nor for ordinary people as the mix of spices and flavour some people may not like it. We also tried their sicilian deserts cannolo and Affogato, incredibly good. They make sure that you are happy with your food and they're happy to chat with you, we found customer service is excellent and we really enjoyed our stay.

Gorgeous food, great cocktails, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere! Loads of vegan options too. Can't recommend enough!

The food in this restaurant is very reasonable, however a very serious training must be in place with their staff, I believe it was the manager that dealt with my table and was adressing me as if I was one of his staff and not a customer, manners are essential in hospitality.

The owner of this place is absolutely lovely, so so impressed by his service. And always love the desserts - constantly back at this place. Can’t resist !

the most kind service and food was amazing. lovely interior and good vibes. can’t say enough good things. gf options also!

Lewis was absolutely brilliant!!!!

Fantastic food. Great staff nice atmosphere . Would definitely recommend coming here to anyone who love Italian food.

I attended for lunch as a family of 4. We all had pizza which were cold and very over priced. I have been a customer for years however the romana base is stretched so thin it is almost transparent. I realise the cost of everything has risen however I still want value for money. We paid £10 for dessert that was just a slice of cake and a portion of ice cream. My husband had a large bottle of larger that wasn’t cold so he wasn’t happy. We were all disappointed. I must say the waitress was lovely.

I'm a regular at Zizzi in St David's Arcade in Cardiff City Centre and enjoy their food and also the friendly staff. Today I noticed they had a new special on their menu. It was a Lobster and King Prawn Pasta dish with a white wine and brandy sauce. The presentation of the dish was fantastic and the portion size was also impressive. The dish was tasty but might have needed a bit more spice. I should also mention the free twirly crisps at the start are very much appreciated as was the ice cold glass with the Peroni.

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.

Came in to have an evening meal and was treated so well through out the evening by all three waiters. Stunning food, attentive and genuine service and a great atmosphere! I felt like part of the family - Would definitely come back

The chicken was quite good, solid drumsticks are what you would want, held the seasoning well and 1 or 2 pieces felt like they could fall off the bone into your mouth, the chips however were quite a different story, will be back to see the development of said chips
