The best restaurants serving Pizza pasta food in Whitchurch and Tongwynlais Cardiff South Wales

I’d like to start by saying we as a family have been using the Villagio since the 1970s and love supporting a local family business! However, our experience this weekend did leave us a little disappointed. We had booked for 10 of us to celebrate my father’s 76th birthday. Days before we’d dropped in bunting and cake and were reassured that we’d be sitting upstairs and that they would add these to our table. We arrived 10 minutes early and were made to feel a little uncomfortable about this, the restaurant was extremely busy and the staff clearly stressed. Throwing the bunting at me pretty much, without anything to use to attach it to walls so it went unused. Our table at 7pm still wasn't ready and they then had to ask a table of 4 to move who were waiting on their dessert, again proving uncomfortable. We then waited a further 15 minutes for our drinks order to be taken, staff kept bringing food over which clearly wasn’t ours - staff were hugely overwhelmed. Things eventually calmed down and staff were polite, we actually just felt a little sorry for them! We felt the restaurant was just over booked or under managed on the night. Food was excellent though 👌🏼

Food was great and the staff were brilliant, gave us another pizza for free after our first was a little bit burnt on the edges. Had a great time, highly recommended.
