The best restaurants serving Italian food in Riverside Cardiff South Wales

Cannot recommend this place more!! The food was delicious but the service was what made the experience so memorable. Every waiter was so lovely, helpful and attentive which makes such a difference! We had the burrata and Bolognese arancini which were both fab. The calzone was massive, had the perfect amount of filling and the dough was great too. The homemade pasta was the star. Definitely worth visiting asap!

Wow, what a miserable lot working in this establishment. Arrived at the restaurant and was not greeted with any welcome or smile. Food was preordered earlier in the week, so they already knew what we wanted. Waitresses were quite ignorant and miserable and ignored several requests by our party for some drinks. Members of the family have been regular customers of this restaurant for many years, and this was the first time this treatment had been given. We felt that we were just in their way, and they couldn't wait for us to leave. Upon paying the bill, everyone paid what they owed separately, but we had one couple accused of not paying and demanded they show the receipt, which they did but no apology was given by the waitresses for their mistake. This particular couple were known to the restaurant as they had been there several times already on their own. Food quality was excellent, but customer service should be exceptional, and here it was not. Just to point out, our party of 12 spent over £400 here. Sadly, we will not be returning.

Gran selección de helados muy sabrosos. No está mal. Muy recomendable. Definitivamente volveremos a este encantador lugar

Ate here last night with a friend. Had the loveliest time, the food was on point, absolutely delicious, the calamari was superb, along with the arrancini, lamb and charcuterie board. On top of that, we were made to feel so welcome by the owner and staff, it was really nice to have a chat and a smily happy person serve us. A lovely atmosphere, couldn't fault it. And the best part considering we are in Pontcanna, the price was very very reasonable. Excellent food, excellent service 5 stars all around. Thank you 💜

Visited Cibo last year for lunch and while there was space at the restaurant, we were denied a table as my son was too young for a highchair and they apparently had "no room" for our pram (even with several empty tables). Shame as I've eaten at Cibo in the past and the food is generally good, but they clearly don't want my business any more.
