The best restaurants serving Italian food in 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.

A delicious meal! Such friendly service and the food was excellent We shared an antipasti board, mozzarella, prawns and meatballs All of the food was really fresh, tasty and great portion sizes

Easily a 5⭐️ pizza. Great selection of toppings, spotlessly clean, friendly staff…highly recommended….👍

Ordered a cake for my daughter’s first birthday party. Drove an hour each way to collect the cake, got it home stored in a cool dry place. Checked it to find the cake all slumped down, characters sliding off and all wrinkled. Contacted the shop was told to phone back in the morning. The following morning (the day of my daughter’s birthday party) spoke with someone on the phone and was told they’d make me a new one. Again drove an hour each way to collect the new cake, which meant I had to delay the time of the birthday party at short notice. The staff were not very apologetic. I asked if I could get a discount on the cake for the inconvenience, and the time and petrol I’ve wasted travelling back and forth and the fact I had to change the time of the party and inconvenience family and friends - was told no and given a pack of 2 candles, and that I’d have 20% off next time, not that I’d return again after this. Shocking customer service and poor attention to detail. Never again, ruined my daughter’s special day.

We recently enjoyed a meal at Pizzeria Villagio and I’d happily go back for food and recommend to others. My bruschetta starter was lovely and the pizza vegetariana was also really nice (the pizza base was perfection 👍). I like that they have Trebbiano on the wine list. The staff are welcoming and happy to chat about the food. An enjoyable meal, thank you!

I've had a lot of carbonaras at a lot of restaurants, but this one was special. Pizza was great too. Lovely staff and we really liked the decor and atmosphere in there as well. Many thanks, will definitely be back.

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

Our favourite place to eat! Food is always delicious. Service is perfect. A hidden gem. Great family run place. Always need to book in advance as it’s always busy!

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 !

Me and some friends visited the restaurant on September 14th for my birthday and the entire experience was brilliant! The food was perfect, the atmosphere was great and the staff were absolutely amazing, they went above and beyond, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! I even got a birthday card from them and they sung happy birthday to me, they truly became a part of my birthday! Sadly I didn't get photos of any main meals, but they were all presented beautifully and they tasted even better! I will 100% be visiting again!

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

Have eaten here several times, never had a bad meal but the service has always been questionable at best. Always seems to have plenty of staff, but, they seem to like to gather behind the bar and chat rather than tend to tables. It’s not a big place, it’s just desperate for the staff to be coordinated to be effective. Seated but no drinks taken, had to prompt for food order. Plates not cleared, had to ask for desert menu, had to ask again to order deserts, had to go to the bar to pay. Given the quality of the food, it’s a real shame, and hard to recommend over the service and on paying is expecting a tip.

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.
