The best restaurants serving Italian food in Taffs Well Rhondda Cynon Taf South Wales

The service was awful. I had requested a table at 18.30 but I was told 18.00 was the latest we could have. We had been sat for 45 minutes before we got a drink and despite telling the waitress that we were in a hurry, she still took another 10 minutes to take our orders. The music was very loud- we asked several times for it to be turned down which it was, but still far to loud to have a comfortable conversation over it. They took ages to clear our table and even longer to bring the desert menu. We were not offered a second drink and nobody asked how our food was- not even when they were clearing away half eaten plates of food. I noticed when I went to get the bill (as nobody came to me!) that on the screen takeaway orders were being dealt with. It seems that takeaways are distracting from the restaurant diners which is not fair. I am extremely disappointed with the evening.

We came here as we've eaten plenty of times at other restaurants and to say it was disappointing is an understatement. We were seated pretty quickly, starter delivered pretty quickly and tasted nice but then ... a 45-50 minute wait for our main meal. When it finally arrived, my partners food was OK at best but mine, the mac and cheese with N'duja was overpowered with what tasted like chilli powder and no flavour. They offered to replace it but since I'd already been sat there nearly an hour, I didn't want to wait any longer. I asked our server what the N'duja consisted of and she was clueless. I asked at the kitchen counter and they said some kind of sausage paste. There was no meat at all in it cuz it tasted like it'd been sprinkled with chilli powder. I expected a lot more from this place since I've travelled all over the country eating at these restaurants and was sadly let down.
