Everything was perfect here, food, service and Italian vibe was gorgeous, we had a free night from being mum and dad and it was well spent coming here, will be back again.

Absolutely stunning place. Nice atmosphere. Lovely, friendly staff. Great service. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were big. Very reasonable prices for a fine dining restaurant. Definitely will be coming back here. Hard to find an Italian restaurant like this even in Italy.

Beautiful atmosphere especially the rear with the glass panels felt lovely to sit in while it was raining.. staff were very friendly and chatty! My ravioli was okay unfortunately the salmon filling was on the dry side and lacked flavour :/ my partners prawn pasta was lovely though!

We reserved a table for our special day with my family. We found free street parking easily, but it might be trickier sometimes. I'm sure there is always something within walking distance, though. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, it's elegant and one can feel like treating themselves by visiting but it's also warm, cozy and welcoming so it's easy to feel relaxed. The waiter at the reception was very friendly, and led us to our table. We booked our table early, as we had a child with us and on this occasion the restaurant wasn't fully booked, so the waiter allowed us to pick a table in the orangery, it was great to see this much flexibility. The booth we picked had very comfortable seating and it was close to the kitchen window, so we could hear the hustle and bustle of the busy kitchen and it was great to hear Italian being spoken among the staff all the time. Needless to say the food was amazing! From the starters through the main course to the dessert! Everything was authentic, fresh and hot and the portions were absolutely big! The waiters were very friendly, attentive and they effectively managed the whole floor every, all the other tables seemed happy. The waiters engaged with my 5 year old daughter which was great to see and enabled her to come out of her shell and order dessert for herself. This family friendly attitude really impressed us. I'm really happy to have found this place and we'll be sure to come back. Thank you!

First time here (although seen on our many yearly visits to Cardiff) to this lovely family owned restaurant, not disappointed. Certainly recommend booking as was full and can see why. Lively atmosphere and tastefully decorated, loved the screen showing stunning views around Italy. Authentic Italian food, well portioned with a variety of dishes across all courses and excellent wine list. Gorgeous restaurant, excellent and very friendly staff. We will return for sure. Highly recommended.
