Everything is perfect. I ordered risotto with prawns and chicken pasta. They all taste amazing. The chicken is a bit dry but for me that’s still fine. The atmosphere is nice tho, but because the restaurant is small so it’s quite noisy when there are a lot of customers. The staffs are all so kind and they speak to each other in Italian so I assume the quality here is equal to the origin restaurant in Italy.

Food was nice although I would’ve preferred my spaghetti more al dente. One of the elderly diners started to have what appeared to be a medical emergency and the owner was very dismissive of the waitress who was doing an amazing job of being attentive to this party. This put a downer on the mood & atmosphere. Also it took the restaurant 3 attempts at getting the bill right before we gave up as in the end and just paid as the bill was still wrong l. If the owner didn’t speak to his staff so unprofessionally and the bill was correct initially this would’ve probably been 5 stars.

One of my favourite restaurants in Cardiff. Delicious and I think the food is relatively healthy and light. As a tourist not used to eating a lot, it was a great alternative to the high calory food in other restaurants. The staff was also very friendly. :)
