It was our first visit to you. The food was absolutely amazing, as was the service there. The tiramisu portion was extremely generous and the best one I have ever had! Thank you so much!

As a first timer at this restauarant I found all the food was presented well and tasted flavoursome. The only criticism that I have is that the specials board didn't show any prices, even though my partner and I both made our choices from the board, it would have been nice to know how much we were going to be charged before we ordered. The service was faultless and the staff were friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back.

The food was very flavourful but the starter portion was so big it was very difficult to finish the main afterwards which was also very rich. The service wasn’t good, the waiting staff seemed very disinterested and it took ages to get anyone’s attention to get the bill even though they weren’t serving anyone else. Then we were charged £8 on top of already expensive prices for as a ‘service charge’. Which seemed a bit unfair given the poor level of service. Hopefully it went to the chef as the food was good if a bit overly rich. It would have perhaps worked better if the starters were slightly smaller (and cheaper). The music was also very cliched and repetitive, and there was so much noise it wasn’t a very relaxing atmosphere. I think the personal experience and interaction with the staff was so poor considering the high price of the food, we are not likely to return soon.

A beautiful meal and good value for money. I have had takeaway from here on a few occasions previously and have wanted to visit for a long time - it was absolutely worth the wait but it won't be long until I'm back there again. Excellent pasta, brilliant pizza. Generous portions. Good beer and wine. What's not to love!? Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Easily the best Italian restaurant in Cardiff. Delicious food, friendly service and good value for money. Menu is a mix of the classic dishes you would expect to find at an Italian and some more unusual dishes.

We found portion sizes to be a bit small, for example, my husband had the large T-bone, a couple of potatoes and a small portion of vegetables, out of proportion to the size of the steak

We don't know Cardiff well but wanted to book somewhere special for my son's graduation, after reading other reviews we decided to visit. I had notified the restaurant about the reason for our visit when I confirmed we would require lobster! We were greeted on arrival by staff who congratulated my son, which I thought was lovely. The restaurant has a warm friendly atmosphere, and we passed a large group who were relaxed and enjoying their meal as we were shown upstairs. We were talked through the specials board.. which was full of lovely choices and ordered our drinks. Nothing was rushed, the starters were lovely with generous portions. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their main course. The food was fantastic, and now my son is living in Cardiff we will be visiting and will return for another meal, just to try items we couldn't fit in this time. I would recommend this restaurant for the warm welcome, attentiveness of staff and of course the food with a wide range and varied choice! Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

Just a short 15min walk from city centre, and all the usual chains, takes you out to the suburbs where you will find this lovely charming authentic Italian restaurant. We had the wild boar ravioli, sea bass, pizza and affogato for dessert. All the food was delicious, freshly made and there was a fantastic choice of specials as well. The service was charming and all at very reasonable prices. I would thoroughly recommend this great place.
