“ Wonderful food and service. I can thoroughly recommend the sea bass and my husband loved the veal. Excellent. Really good choice of wines and lovely bellini to drink while choosing from the menu. ”
“ Visited Signor Valentino for my graduation meal. They were able to fit us in last-minute and were incredibly accommodating. Food was amazing and staff very kind. Was given a photo and a cake to mark the occasion! ”
“ The first time I came here I thought I had the best pasta I had ever eaten. I was proven wrong the second time I came, where the pasta was even better. Absolutely lovely wait staff both occasions, and the food delicious. My brother had pizza which was also perfectly done. A bit on the pricier side of things but the price matches the quality. Well reccommended for a special occasion (pairs well with visiting the millenium centre!) ”
“ Very nice Italian meal, friendly staff and lovey views over the bay. ”
“ We really enjoyed our dinner here yesterday. Plenty of lovely vegan options. Fantastic food and good service with a really nice view on the balcony seating. A classy, nice meal but also felt relaxed. ”
“ Decided to come here for a bite before driving back home. Had a calamari to start with, well presented. A medium rare stake to follow and a tiramisu to finish. The calamari was good and tasty, just a bit on the thinner side. The stake was cooked medium rare as requested, seasoned just right and the sauce that it came with made it even better. The tiramisu was just great, just how a tiramisu should be. Great service from the staff as well. Having dinner with a good view and some live music from around makes it a really nice place to be at. Finishing off with a shot of limoncello is a nice touch! Definitely will be back when I visit Cardiff again!!! ”
“ Great friendly service and beautiful food highly recommend. ”
“ It was my first time at this restaurant, and I was genuinely impressed! The food was absolutely delicious full of flavour and served piping hot. The atmosphere was also lovely: quiet, clean, and complemented by a Beautiful view. The only downside was that the staff seemed a bit tired and disengaged – no smiles or warmth, which made it feel like they weren’t enjoying their work. That said, if you’re going for the food, it’s definitely worth it. The dishes are authentic and packed with flavor! ”
