By far the most amazing food experience we have had living in South Wales. My husband and I popped in for a last minute meal - not expecting michelin quality. Wow - we had a 5 course taster menu and paired wine which was outstanding. Even dining at Leonardslee House just a few months back didn't compare to this. We will be back for every possible occasion and recommend you try it at least once if you appreciate good food and good wine and outstanding service. Support your local business not a chain like a douchebag.

Restaurant foreplay is checking the menu before even setting foot in the establishment. To my surprise, that was a waste of time here as they had a better Christmas menu! Ragu was amazing but the cremoso! Heavy dark chocolatey with the ice cream and the peanuts, it did not disappoint. It was that good I might even invite my real dad here after disappearing for 20 years to apparently ‘get some milk from the shop.’

They accommodated us without reservation. Small Italian restaurant. Crowded and noisy sometimes. Set menu with very good quality food. Slow cooked Welsh lamb is a must. The manager didn't visit our table and wasn't very talkative, even basic greetings. His colleague compensated everything. She gave us the best service. Anyway, if you like fine Italian cuisine, you should not miss it.

Absolutely fantastic evening here. The four of us had a good range of meals and each one was cooked to perfection and presented brilliantly. Nothing was too much to accommodate from the staff and we were well looked after throughout the evening. Will 100% be booking back at the earliest opportunity

The food here is spectacular. Loved the sauce👌 I’m glad I stopped here before heading back to London. Tiny bit expensive drinks😭 I’ll visit again next time I’m in Cardiff and maybe order a whole bottle instead of a glass of wine.

I've always enjoyed visiting Casanova, but it's been a while and boy have they your their game! The food was absolutely stunning. I had the carpaccio to start, with aged parmesan. Then loin of veal for main, while my wife had the seafood pasta, we shared an excellent cheese board and a rich chocolate mousse. Friendly service and plenty of info about the dishes if you wanted it. Great place for a relaxed evening of good food and wine.

Superb little Italian place, quiet when we went. The food is delicious and while service is a very leisurely pace, it is friendly. The bread is best eaten with the olive oil alone, as the oil is full of rich flavour and is apparently sourced from Italy. The risotto was deliciously seasoned and covered generously with summer truffle. Very rich and thoroughly enjoyable. The main was a slow cooked ragu - when the pasta is cooked al dente and the meat is tender and soft, you know it's been done right.

Went on Valentine's day, the boss treated us with a warm welcoming and nice food. Although the main course delayed for half an hour, he compensated with a platter of prosciutto and cheese. The tiramisu was extraordinary good and recommend.
