Reviews of Giardini Di Sorrento

This restaurant!!! My husband and I were so excited we picked Giardini Di Sorrento for a late lunch yesterday during a few short hours in the city. We walked in 5 minutes before the kitchen closed for the afternoon but were warmly welcomed anyway and weren’t made to feel like an inconvenience for our poor timing. We ordered Antipasto and desserts and wish we lived closer to try some of their pasta dishes. The food was incredible. So fresh and generous! This is a new favourite and anytime we visit Cardiff we will be sure to return!

Absolutely delicious authentic family dinner. Menu is top notch and service amazing. Forgot we were in Cardiff. Could have been in Sorrento. When the owner chased us down the road with our forgotten boxed up cannoli I knew we would be back. Great evening, thank you.
T. D.
Food was lovely and staff very helpful, was a little loud in the restaurant at times with noise mainly from the kitchen and staff but wasn't over bearing.

The food here is truly delicious and is a little taste of Italy in Cardiff. While the prices aren't the cheapest, you can see why with the quality of the food. The a al carte menu is limited, but my two main dishes came off the daily specials and I'd certainly recommend trying something off the specials board. While the food was incredible, the same can't be said for the service. They were rather slow taking our order, advice on what to order wasn't great, after ordering a 'primo' and 'secondo' explicitly it was disappointing to see genuine Italians bring both out at the same time. Also our party of 5 spent a considerable amount here, but the famous southern Italian hospitality was lacking and we weren't offered a limoncello at the end

If you want to feel like you are in Sorrento then this place is for. The owner is fun, the staff are just amazing. Lovely to get a feel of Italy, good food, great ambience, an exceptional place for lovers and family. I had a good time
H. C. (.
Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Nice starter but the main is a bit disappointing. It's slightly salty (however the portion is very generous). Will try other main next time if I can 😃
S. H.
Delightful little Italian. Picked it for a works evening meal whilst traveling from the trip advisor reviews and wasn't disappointed. Friendly welcome and good service. I had calamari for starters and it was amazing, lightly battered and perfectly cooked. Followed by wild boar ravioli for mains which again was great.
E. S.
Amazing food, lovely staff and excellent atmosphere. I cannot recommend Giardini Di Sorrento highly enough!
R. P.
Excellent food and very generous portions (the chef thought the lobster was small, so he just added another one!) plus very friendly and entertaining service. We will be back and would recommend.
A.
Food is wonderful and house wines are delish. The portions are HUGE, which is fair enough given the slightly pricy prices. Service is great though, and as we paid the card machine was playing up so our waiter brought over a very sweet little music box and some limoncello to try. Lovely for a date or for a meal with family.
A. V.
Food delicious, accomodations made by chef, no diversity in food
S. S.
Gorgeous food and ample serving sizes. You won't leave hungry!
Excellent COVID system with plastic partition walls between tables and diligent cleaning and sanitisation by the waiters.
Fresh seafood and pasta really stood out, and couldn't get enough of the freshly baked pizza dough. The experience was topped off with a very welcome ans authentic Italian service. Can't wait to visit again.
E. C.
Best meal I’ve ever had, it was amazing with good vegetarian and vegan options. If I’m ever in Cardiff again I will definitely come back, the portion sizes are also very generous. The staff are very friendly.
M. B.
Staff very helpful, friendly and reminds me of a typical genuine family run business.
Wine, couldn't of recommended a better one, the waitress (pretty certain the daughter) had selected the best red.👍
Food - OMG awesome👍
Liquor coffee - spot on there!👍
And to top off the night, hick, hick a sambuca.👍
Price - 😬 I will not publish this because you must experience this yourselves.
A must to visit and experience great Italian hospitality and food. Gracia....👏
H. R.
What a place. The pure authenticity of this small restaurant is fantastic. My Italian boyfriend said it was the best Italian restaurant he has been to out of Italy, especially because of the service, bread and olives and lemoncello. The food was fantastic and the range of specials was so amazing it was hard to choose one dish. We didn’t catch our servers name but he had glasses and was very warming towards us. We both couldn’t recommend this restaurant more. 10/10, will definitely be returning!!!
T. H.
Visited Giardini de Sorrento for lunch with 2 other families today and had an absolutely wonderful time.
Food was amazing, atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and all the staff were brilliant.
Will definitely be returning.
C. Y.
Cozy atmosphere. Great service - very accommodating. Reasonably priced. Delicious, authentic Italian food. Would definitely visit again, for any occasion.

Picked out from the existing ratings for a one night stay in Cardiff. This small yet charming restaurant very much deserves its reputation. As well as a varied a la carte, there were some interesting specials. A local couple next to us said it's their regular and recommended the beef arancini (fried balls of rice) as a shared starter. You get only two but they're big, filling and delicious. We each then had a sausage orrechiette (in a lovely tasty white sauce) and an asparagus risotto, which was well flavoured with silky texture. As a wine enthusiast it was great to find Lacryma di Christi del Vesuvio, an unusual acclaimed red from Naples, which I've never seen on a restaurant list before and was excellent. The staff were knowledgeable, welcoming and attentive. And I particularly liked that they didn't slap on a service charge, so we added one all the more generously because it was well deserved. Away from the shopping centre bustle, it's worth seeking out!
M. P.
Super little Italian Restaurant. A group of us had a long lunch here. Great service and excellent food for a fair price. All good 😎 👍
A. R.
Overall I must say I enjoyed coming to this restaurant. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The food is good too.
We had antipasto and a range of pasta dishes. I would not recommend the antipasto as we personally found the absence of cheeses (just very basic mini mozzarellas) and lower quality of bread disappointing. The bruschetta was great though - do get that.
The pasta dishes were very tasty with generous portions. Clearly the star of the show was the tomato sauce which was rich and well seasoned. At times it was a little overwhelming but it complimented each of the dishes nicely.
Get the Aperol spritz as well - it’s one of the better ones I’ve had in Cardiff.
S. S.
Beautiful Italian food. If you want to eat a lobster, you should order in advance. It's a shame that we couldn't order more of their delicious desserts because we were so full yum😋
J. E.
Italian food at its best. We are never disappointed no matter what we order, though the Ravioli Caprese is by far my favourite. Between the authentic food and atmosphere, you will believe you walked out of Cardiff right into Italy when you walk through their front door. Always worth the visit!
N. S.
My husband and I visited the restaurant last night for our 3rd Wedding anniversary. We actually got married in Sorrento and this restaurant is like a little piece of Sorrento in Cardiff. We had the most wonderful service. The specials where fantastic and my husband ordered from the main menu which was also amazing. The portions were large and the food was beautiful. We've had lunch here before also and this place never disappoints. It's great for all occasions and we highly recommend it to all! Thanks Massimo and team for giving us the perfect anniversary night.
A. A.
Good food and service. Some exceptional dishes and some a bit disappointing.
For starters we had the meat and the seafood sharing platters. Very good. Sardines were a hit. Also had the mussels from the GF menu. Brilliant. The sauce was faught over and saw lots of bread dipping action (once I finished).
Chicken and pasta dishes were excellent and also the pizza. But the sword fish (fish of the day) was bland. Really needed a sauce.
A lot of character. We will return.
C. W.
Do you want real italian? Avoid town, forget Zizzi, Bellini's, Carluccio's and all the nonsense. COME HERE!!
Max and his team are brilliant at what they do, they have passion to share and satisfy the customer - the restaurant is busy, and that says a lot 😊 not to mention the joy the bring if someone is celebrating a birthday - expect jolly music and tambourines played by the staff 😄
So many types of fresh pasta made in-house, homemade desserts, authentic ingredients 🤩 Proprio come a casa mia!
Grazie ragazzi!

Great Italian food and drink with lots of choice and lovely, friendly atmosphere.

What a gem of a place in Cardiff a true family run restaurant. The staff were so welcoming and helpful explaining parts of the menu noting the specials board and giving recommendations. I had an amazing starter sadly no picture sorry I tried it and ate it all before I realised I didn't have a pic.. The foccacia bread was home made fresh and very tasty I didn't order it but they gave some for the table especially for me to try with my sauce. Pizza for main was delicious.. Home made and good flavour... The dessert again yummy lemon profiteroles absolutely lush... Also complimentary lemonchello shots. Bill served in a really cute music box which was a nice touch. Highly recommend and for those who love an after meal coffee then again taste sensation
A. E.
Absolutely fantastic such a lovely family run restaurant homemade Italian food at it's finest you would be forgiven if you thought you were in Sorrento 😋
R. C.
Excellent food. The shared starter was fabulous but too much for us so bring your appetite if you want that starter.
히.
The perfect food made us to go there again, the dessert and coffee was perfect aswell. I want to move to Cardiff just because of this restaurant. A m a Z i N g !
y. r.
Wow!!! This place was very very delicious! The service was impeccable. I let the server chose my dish for me because I couldn't decide, and I was not disappointed. What's great is they explain what pastas they have for the day and show you an example of each cut before the meal. I highly recommend a stop!
S. F.
I started off with a fresh salmon carpaccio.
Very tasty and zesty.
The deep fried calamari and prawns was perfect and the pasta with Italian sausage and wild mushrooms was divine.
I would reccomend I Giardini di Sorrento.
Good food and wine!!
L. J.
Absolutely amazing restaurant, food was unreal and the seafood tasted so fresh and well cooked. The staff were lovely and it had good family run vibes.
C. J.
Absolutely stunning! The best cheesy garlic bread I've ever had so had to leave a review for that alone. Lovely staff also x
M. A.
The food, the presentation and the staff is awesome. Genuine Italian food-as good as I got in during my Italy visit. I ordered seasonal fish (sea bass was served) absolutely the way I wanted. Finished my course with Tiramisu which was good as well. Survival thanks to Ana who ensured a seat for me (single occupant) on a busy Saturday evening.
P. L.
Great authentic Italian, visited a few time took advantage of the eat out to help out and had 2 courses for £20
Z. X.
Decent food. Especially the crab pasta is my favourite. Definitely worth a recommendation!
K. O.
Always a great atmosphere! Massimo, and his wonderful staff, work really hard to ensure everybody has a lively experience, and makes your visit feel special. The food is excellent, and the chefs are so talented. The specials board changes often and always has cool, innovative dishes. Oh and there's a good wine list and cute bar too! (Very important)...can't wait for our next visit. We have missed this place so much.
A. L.
Nice place. Foods ok. Garlic bread I had was only toasted on one side, cheese needed more melting.
I ordered a pizza which was a good size, looked and tasted good.
Not sure if I would go back. I've had better garlic bread and pizza in merolas in grangetown and it's closer to me.
E. W.
Superb , busy but food and service were fantastic . Have not been since Covid but its better than I remember, easy to park opposite well worth a visit.
J. H.
Delicious food and wonderful people working there. Would recommend to anyone.
J. L.
An amazing restaurant with very friendly staff. Warm and welcoming and a relaxed atmosphere.
Highly recommend.
J. M.
A real gem - we came twice in two days because we were so impressed! High quality, very tasty dishes with very generous portions. The atmosphere is lively, which we enjoyed but might not be for everyone. And finally - the desserts are simply unmissable. The cheesecake in particular was incredible!!
S. B.
Excellent food with great appetizers and huge portions
T.
Ate here 2 nights on the trot. Food was AMAZING. Strongly recommended. Very friendly, family run restaurant.
V. T.
We went to this restaurant with another family of four. We had excellent time at this restaurant. The food is great and comes with large quantity. The staff is super friendly and was able to accommodate most of our requirements.
Did I mention the food is great? We ordered quite a lot of vegetarian dishes and all of them were excellent. Their cheese cake is lighter than air. Unfortunately I could not try wine selection this time. Looking forward to visit the restaurant again and that time I will definitely their wines.
R. L.
Found this place through trip advisor, totally worth it's rank 1 I say. If you want good food with a date or friend in a quiet and cozy place with great atmosphere while don't mind sparing some cash, it's a great place to be. Also it have an assortment of wines for you to choose to your liking.
J. C.
One of if not the best restaurant I have visited in Cardiff and the best Italian food I've eaten since my Michelin star tour of Venice. The staff are lovely and to food quality is incredible. I had the lobster which was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!
S. M.
Nicely decorated and quite cosy. Meal was fine but menu is limited although there is a specials board. I thought the meal was rather expensive for what it was. Bottled beer was particularly overpriced at £6.50 (see picture of bill). The restaurant is obviously popular as it was busy despite it being a Thursday night. The restaurant is on the Newport Road end of City Road near the Wetherspoons pub. There is no dedicated parking and on street parking is limited, although there is usually space in side streets in the evening. Would probably visit again but definitely not my first choice for an Italian restaurant in Cardiff.
G. H.
Fantastic authentic Italian restaurant. Brilliant hosts and will definitely be visiting again
M. C.
Nice vibe, very friendly staff and good, authentic Italian food.
G. G.
Booked a meal for 2 here Sat night, lovely atmosphere, felt like we were on holiday, a proper family run Italian. Food was nice (not the best I've had) service is very good, only knocked a star off as one of the chefs was shouting at someone at the top of his voice for ages and made us feel a bit uncomfortable. Maybe that makes it more authentic 😄
L.
We have just had the most amazing meal of our lives here. The welcome, the service and the atmosphere are all fantastic but the Crab Linguine is THE most delicious thing I have ever eaten. My new favourite place to eat and I'm about to become a regular!!!!!! Thank you so much for a wonderful evening
F. G.
Delicious true Italian food! Michele 'red wolf' served us and was super-friendly! If you would like to experience a piece of Italy in Cardiff I highly recommend it!
A. G.
Food and service were incredible! Couldn't recommend it more highly! Everything was really fresh, so tasty, and very reasonable! Added bonus of traditional Italian ingredients! Thank you for a wonderful evening!
P. T.
Food wasnt anywhere near what I was expecting for the price, not the best Italian in the area.
S. S.
We booked to go here last year but unfortunately had to cancel due to lockdown. We finally got there and was definitely not disappointed! Fresh food excellently prepared, well presented and very authentic. Service was also excellent and all at a reasonable price for what we had to eat and drink. Will revisit if we visit Cardiff again. Which we probably will.
G. N.
A small menu but with something for everyone and all done very well! An extensive blackboard of 7-8 specials as well which the owners are more than happy to talk you through! Amazing and authentic food (make sure to leave room for dessert!)
D. H.
Wonderful food, lovely staff, great ambiance, thank you
M. A.
We went for a meal for my cousins birthday with family and friends. The staff and chef were fantastic and nothing was too much for them. Food was very tasty and big portions too. Would highly recommend a visit.
K. T.
The food here will have you thinking about it the next day, staff are friendly, and it had a charming atmosphere. Decor was in need of maintenance in some areas. Nevertheless, it didn’t seem to matter to the all-round lovely experience.
S. S.
A lovely little restaurant serving authentic Italian food. The Antipasti board was especially brilliant! Very attentive staff and a lovely atmosphere.
L. M.
Excellent food, worth every penny. Will be returning as soon as possible.

Welcoming, authentic, delicious Italian dining in central Cardiff
We visited this restaurant on a Tuesday evening and it was full and now we know why! From the first interaction with the staff members to the final mouthful of tiramisu, this Italian is a cut above the rest. It manages to maintain a balance of outstanding hosting (enthusiastic, attentive but not invasive) and food clearly created with passion and love. We also thought it was excellent value for money. Make sure you check out the specials board (wild boar ravioli was described as the best pasta dish my fiancée has ever eaten and we’ve visited Italy on multiple occasions).
As with all outstanding restaurants, attention to detail is paramount and they use the best quality ingredients combined with an expert knowledge of flavour combinations to create an experience where you’ll be dreaming of returning. We were fortunate to be sat next to a woman who had come to Cardiff from Potenza, who the waiter introduced as a ‘friend of the restaurant’ because she visited so often, and we discussed how authentic and flavoursome the food was throughout the meal. She said she refused to eat at other Italians in Cardiff because they were so far away from the standard she grew up with in Italy.
My fiancée’s family life just outside Cardiff and we have been telling them how we can’t wait to take them to Giardini Di Sorrento next time we are in Wales. 10/10.
Z. A.
Amazing restaurant. Amazing service. Little slice of Italy in Cardiff
N. M.
Came here for my birthday and how incredible it was. From the starters to the dessert, everything was consistently amazing and the customer service was so friendly and welcoming. The decor was also simple and elegant - overall, I would recommend this place to everyone!
C. W.
Excellent Italian food and service. Highly recommended.
J. C.
Real Italian by real Italians. Plenty of food too ! I took half my lunch home with me for a 2nd meal later ! Very tasty, rich dishes. I ordered basic Argue Bolognese, enough for 2 meals. Came VERY hot and tasty
K. P.
This place has the best pizza I have ever had!! The pasta was amazing as were the desserts, staff were lovely and atmosphere was welcoming - will definitely be frequenting this place <3
D. B.
This is an authentic Italian restaurant run by authentic Italian people, serving authentic Italian dishes in a lively, friendly atmosphere.
We had the Antipasto platter for two and, in reality, it was probably enough for four as a starter. My partner didn't finish her main course of pasta with a lamb ragu (but that's because she wanted to leave room for dessert). The rest of it came home and was lunch the next day.
I asked whether they could make a spaghetti carbonara for me, despite the fact that it was not on the menu, partly because it's my favourite and partly because it's a great way to judge an Italian restaurant (in my mind) and this was our first visit. The carbonara was fantastic, probably the best I have had outside Italy. I should have been sensible and not eaten it all, but was far too delicious for that.
We shared a dessert of cheesecake with a rich chocolate sauce. It was perfect in both flavour and texture.
My only regret is that we discovered Giardini Di Sorrento just before we are due to move away from Cardiff. Just in case it isn't obvious from what I've written...I thoroughly recommend it.
O. R.
So happy they do gluten free and normally I have a fab take away but the last meal was not possible to eat as it was soooooo salty, literally I LOVE salt but this was beyond I think it had been salted and then resalted I was gutted and for this I won't return 😔 the desert was so tasty and gluten free. I know I should have complained but I didn't like to.
N. M.
Booked for 8pm, had to wait outside with any others.
Please don't read that as a negative, if people are still at their table and others are waiting that shows how good a restaurant is.
Drinks expertly served with humour, starters were sublime again served with humour.
Smoked salmone was immense and unbelievably tasty, vegetarian antipasti was fantastico, mozzarella caprese was sublime.
Mains, well here we go...
Pizza Napoli were stunning, better than we were used to, so simple.and tasty. Tuna was done perfectly, and margarita pizza perfect.
Drinks, cosmopolitan and moretti just spot on.
Will be on our list to return, just a perfect taste of Southern Italy, perfecto.
Grazi mille!
B. B.
Lovely small independent restaurant owned by Italians. Food was lovely and very authentic. Great portions too, and they bring you bread at the start as well! However, we had a delay with our table but they really made up for it by treating our bday girl and giving us a discount! Overall great experience ☺️ food prices were a little bit over the usual by a few pounds
2. J.
I had a delicious meal here. I had a crab linguine and they put a crab shell on the side as decoration. The linguine was cooked perfectly it blended well with the sauce. For dessert I had their three cheese cheesecake. I've had it before and this was the best one i've ever had. It was lovely and light. The staff were very kind and at the end they gave us a free slice of cheesecake in a takeaway box. I did not have a antipasto but I'm sure they were very nice.
5 stars

Fabulous atmosphere, wonderful team and amazing food

Great place for Italian! Lovely and friendly stuff! Will definitely come back again in future!
P. W.
Had a lovely meal this evening. The restaurant was well arranged with plenty of safety measures in place. We took a recommendation from an Italian waiter who used to work in our favourite Italian, La Lupa in Canton, before it closed a few years ago 😥. The pizzas were excellent and the sauces with the chicken and ravioli, sublime. Will be back soon. Thoroughly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍(5 thumbs)
K. P.
The food here is always incredible! Fantastic quality meals and really friendly staff. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

Absolutely fantastic Italian that is so easy to miss in Cardiff
M. L. (. 3. C.
BEST ITALIAN in the UK! Having lived for 6 years in the country I can only wish you to try Giardini Di Sorrento! I had salami pizza, seafood pasta and panna cotta dessert, to die for! The Italian antipasti starters looked so good, and even the couple in the nect table couldn't stop saying how sublime their food was! 10/10

The picnic box was amazing. There were loads of panini individually wrapped some with mozzarella and tomato, some with grilled courgettes sundried tomatoes, some with prosciutto and salame. Different breads, large box of olives, 6 slices of the sweetest melon and to finish off 6 delicious and i mean DELICIOUS canoli. All super fresh. Delightful picnic. Very happy.
S. O.
Absolutely amazing, I loved every bite! Highly recommend coming here, lovely staff, lovely food, lovely place
S. D.
This small authentic Italian restaurant has great food and great service at a reasonable price. Probably the best Italian in Cardiff
I would definitely recommend
R. W.
My wife and I decided to take a rare opportunity to spend some time alone free from the kids and have a quiet meal together and a cheeky bottle of wine. We decided Italian and found this highly rated nook on a busy Cardiff strip. Well I'm bloody glad we did, what a fantastic place! The venue is nice food incredible and host amazing. We don't often get to have some time together and more often than not are left disappointed by commercial restaurants that are to sterile and lack character. This place is neither, we were blessed to be hosted by Max, a lovely man who is genuinely interested in your experience. But the best thing about the night has to be the feel of the place. Nothing better than Italian food, it's the best in the world! and even better when it has been lovingly prepared by Italians. It's a 15 out of 10 for me.
T. T.
Good pizza and a cozy space. Staff was friendly.
D. L.
Amazing food and service. Food portions are massive so had to take our desert as takeaway. Will be coming again while staying in Cardiff.
A. R.
Taste and quality of the food amazing as always 😋
J. M.
This place is incredible. I have been a few times and the food has been consistently amazing every time. The service is always brilliant, and they are happy to have large groups which is great. The menu is wonderfully varied, and has loads of flexibility for veggies too. So deserving of the multiple awards it has won recently, I'll be back very soon!
L. C.
Food is wonderful. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Nice atmosphere. If the wild boar is on the specials board I can't resist. One of those dishes you never forget! Delicious.
B. S.
First time after a recommendation , really tastey food and friendly staff Enjoyed it and my wife said we will go back again
A. K.
Huge portions of lovely Italian food with a friendly service
P. M.
What a fantastic find, a genuine Italian restaurant run by Italians - if you want excellent food (i had spaghetti with monk fish on the side) then look no further. Well presented and oh so tasty. The service is just as good with nothing too much trouble including changes to your meal.
Maybe not where you would normally go for a meal (City Road) but trust me it is certainly worth making the trip - without doubt the best Italian in Cardiff
S. D.
Fantastic experience, authentic Italian food with fabulous service. Everyone should try this restaurant as they won't be disappointed
J. W.
Lovely food, great atmosphere and staff were great! Very generous portions too!
M. P.
A wonderful evening of excellent service with beautiful, authentic, honest food prepared with skill and care. Too full for dessert but we will be returning!
D. W.
Great pizza and pasta. Amazing service and smiles all round ☺️. Thanks for making my Mum's birthday special 🎂🎈
S. H.
Very friendly place with a good atmosphere. Superb fresh homemade pasta, excellent, quality food and wine! Fish soup was superb along with the Venison Ragu. Homemade cheese cake was heaven 😋😋😋. We both enjoyed our evening. Will make this a regular place to eat!
Z. H.
Just been here for dinner tonight and it was the best italian restaurant that I've been to. The staff were so friendly, kind, helpful and loved having a chat with us. The atmosphere was perfect and the food was absolutely amazing the portion sizes were brilliant. We have booked to go back the first weekend of October again for our anniversary and we can't wait!
P. C.
I love this restaurant but tonight something was amiss. We had booked for 8.30 but when we arrived it was mayhem. People everywhere. One of the staff told us there had been a problem and everything was running half an hour late. We went back to wetherspoons and the lady came and called us when they were ready. No problem. Food was as always delicious. Service very good. But the one thing spoiling the evening was the shouting from the kitchen. It made everything feel stressful. The front of house gentleman gave us some wine on the house for our inconvenience which was a nice gesture but our evening felt different. It would not stop us returning because our previous experiences were much better but it's a shame.
R. A.
Great food, catering for vegetarian as well.
My stake was cooked to perfection (rare).
Excellent service from friendly staff.
H. O.
After walking down City Road we thought that this looked really comfy and welcoming. The food was amazing. So we came back the next day and got their takeaway the third day. The staff there a very friendly and the atmosphere is so nice. Honestly everything we tried on the menue we loved. I literally had the best Spaghetti Carbonara of my life there. They have homemade pasta and it is lush. Inviting my friend there for her birthday! A great place to go.
C. B.
Wonderful pizza and great service. Relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend and would definitely return!
T. S.
Lovely lunch here - we had a cocktail each and shared a pizza with fries. Good food!
C. D. a.
I don't normally like Italian food but gave this a try because we heard it was really good and it didnt disappoint. I had the homemade pasta with crab (cant remember the name) and it was amazing and i normally stay away from pasta. We also had some desserts to take away that we also very tasty. We will 100% be going back here. Lovely little restaurant
H. S.
Went here with my family a couple of weeks ago for my birthday and it was a truly fantastic night. The staff were wonderful and super accommodating and the food was absolutely delicious. My new favourite restaurant!
A. K.
Absolutely wonderful: Friendly staff, delicious food (huge portions), cute interior and authentic atmosphere. I wish I lived in Cardiff so that I could return sooner.

I recently wrote a review which was uncomplimentary to this restaurant following a visit which ended up in myself and my partner having been kepy waiting over 40 minutes for a table despite having booked online.In fact we left without dining. I have since received an explanation and a courteous apology together with an invitation to return for a meal. I have to say I am impressed by the attitude of the owners and after I have visited this restaurant again I hope to send a review worthy of the reputation this restaurant has.

Since my last post I have had the opportunity to dine in this restaurant.
My guest and I were met and welcomed and shown to our table.The welcome was very warm and friendly.The food was superb and the wine recommended to me by Massimo was delicious and certainly not over priced. The overall experience was excellent I cant wait to go back and sample other delights from the menu.
You must give this restaurant a try.
L. N.
Just been here for the second time with our 2 youngest kids. We tried each others meal and both agreed there's nothing on the menu we don't like. Everything is done to perfection and the staff and owner are amazing with kids. The kids selection is smaller portions of the adult food so great choice for them which really beats the usual kids menus of chicken nuggets, burgers, etc. Would recommend to anyone. In fact I will be recommending around work tomorrow. Thanks for another special night

I went to "I Giardini Do Sorrento" to celebrate both mine and a close family members graduations. It was my first time at an Italian restaurant and I can say I had a lovely experience. The staff were friendly and helpful (even putting up with my terrible pronouncuation of the menu and giving me pointers).
The food was of a high quality and was presented extremely well.
I cannot comment on the price as I have no idea what is a reasonable price for an Italian meal but most starters were about £8 and most main courses we're about £15 each.
Honestly I enjoyed the experience and would like to mention that they kindly gave us a bottle of prosecco on the house to congratulate us on our success.
All in all, I believe they earned this 5 star review.
J. B.
Food outstanding
Staff very helpful polite and professional
Well recommend this restaurant
Will come again
R. J.
Fourth time at Giardini's and it did not disappoint. We had the anti pasti starter which was very good. I had the wild boar ravioli and my girlfriend had the crab linguini, both of which were gorgeous. I usually have the venison ragu which is amazing. Hosts are very personable and accommodating. Easily the best Italian in Cardiff!
R. H.
Amazing food. Had the wild boar ravioli with mushroom and truffle sauce which was delicious. Others in our group had venison bolognese which was also great.
Nice, cosy atmosphere. We were there on a quiet Wednesday with only 3 tables occupied in the whole place. Still felt welcome.
Staff were friendly and helpful. We were there for a birthday party. The staff were happy to serve up a cake we'd brought ourselves and gave the birthday boy a complimentary bottle to take home.
My only gripe would be that the music was a little loud at times. Other than that a very pleasent evening.
L.
Everything I had hoped for and more! This place is a shortcut to Italy. Right from the moment you walk in, the decor, the staff, and then the food! We ended up having 3 courses and leaving a lot heavier than when we started but it was worth it. The simplicity of the starters showed off the ingredients, the homemade pasta mains were all delicious. We had 4 different meals and everyone agreed on the quality of the food. We will definitely be back. Thanks!
L. G.
Top Italian food, pasta freshly made is a speciality. Also wild boar, lobster. Great atmosphere. Staff friendly. Will definitely go again. Don't be put off by the first impressions.
D. B.
Seriously delicious authentic Italian food, my husband said his t-bone steak was the best he had ever had. Bustling with life you could be sitting in a restaurant in Sorrento if you don't look out the window! I would recommend booking as they are busy but did their best to accommodate at short notice. I will be returning with friends and family.
M. S.
Really lovely restaurant. A very nice non-chain restaurant which is reasonably priced. A very good selection of non-standard Italian dishes (somethings other than pizza and pasta). The service was excellent, its a small restaurant with a certain amount of staff and the service was really swift. Really lovely open kitchen so you can see what is going on! Martini Vespa for aprox. £5 and a lobster pasta dish for £30. Lovely cocktails. Really nice staff who are so friendly and helpful,they explained all of the specials menu without prompting and we were served complimentary bread as starter and lemoncello after the meal
Really felt like a piece of Italy. Thank you!
g. j.
Food up to the usual high standard.
House red ideal complement.
K. O.
Went here last night with my fiance . Fantastic service, very friendly and helpful explaining the various pasta dishes ! Wonderful service and very tasty Italian cuisine, will definitely be revisiting again soon !!
D. C.
Food was delicious and staff very friendly. Portion sizes are very generous too!
L. P.
Superb restaurant, the waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and made recommendations. Next time I'm in Cardiff dinner is a must here! The food was the best authentic Italian I've ever had.
S. B.
We absolutely loved this place. The food was delicious on the staff are really cool. Right next door to the big pub at the bottom of City Road., so we met in Wetherspoons them went next door for an amazing meal. I really look forward to going back sometime soon.
H. R.
Popped in early evening when the Cardiff traffic ground to a halt and I had 2 hungry children with me. What a find! Calamari and pizza - 2 very happy children. The food was superb and the staff were lovely. We'll definitely be back!
L. H.
Coming to Cardiff, you need to come here.. Food and staff were all amazing.. Thank you

Great Italian food made fresh to order. Fantastic atmosphere. Suitable for couples and medium parties. The staff are super welcoming and friendly. Some really exotic dishes too.
F. A.
Max is the owner, a very friendly Italian chap, really nice experience, food is superb! One of the best Italians we have had so far in the UK. Strongly recommended!
S. A.
Restaurant is small and could do with more space. We had delicious mixed antipasti, ravioli with cream and nuts and home made gateau. All excellent with friendly service and nice family atmosphere.
I.
Reviews don't lie. Amazing food, great atmosphere and very attentive staff.
Try the Paccheri alla Nerano.
J. J.
Great pizza, and even better dessert. I really enjoyed the pizza forte. It was a good amount of spice and a very pleasant heat. The real star of the meal though was the panna cotta dessert. Absolutely perfect texture and consistency. They also had a cannoli special that my wife got and she will go on record that it is one of the best cannolis she's ever had.
G. d. R.
Really good italian meals here! The restaurant is built on two floors, it will be a good choice for a nice party! The food is awesome and prepared with all Italian's ingredients. Good choice for a tasty dinner!
P. D.
Brilliant little Italian restaurant, really authentic and run by native Italians! Well worth the visit!

Service great food was excellent.

Had pizza and wine once. I think it's a bit expensive and the pizza was a bit burned. The house wine was good.
T. G.
This place is really quite dear to me.
Massimo - the restaurant's maître d' always makes me feel incredibly welcome, and whenever I've recommended friends to go here, he looks after them as well.
I must've been here 5 times now, and the food has been absolutely stunning every time. It was recommended to me by an Italian customer I met through my job. He told me they make their pasta fresh on site, and that if I wanted to taste pasta dishes like they make them in Italy, then I should come here.
Each time I've come back, I've brought new people with me, and ordered something different for my main course than I had on my previous visits. Their specials board is something my friends, family and I get excited for now. Whenever they visit me in Cardiff, they want me to get us booked in to come back!
The venison ragu on wide pappardelle pasta noodles is really special. If that's not available, the texture of their fettucini makes it the best pasta I've ever had, hands-down.
Seafood lovers will adore this place as well - try the Sauvignon Blanc.
Thanks for all the good times Massimo and the rest of the team!
G. S.
Home made pasta was excellent.
Cannoli to die for.
House red as good as you could hope for.
And they have Strega.
Happy lovely place.
This is what an Italian restaurant is supposed to be.
Highly recommend.

Me and my friends went to this restaurant on the weekend absolutely fantastic. In a city like Cardiff it’s very difficult to find a good Italian restaurant which is authentic and has taste I can highly recommend
J. P.
Great food, amazing cheesecake!

Visited for dinner. Friendly staff and nice decor. Lots of covid precautions in place. BEAUTIFUL food and a great selection of wines.

Excellent food atmosphere and service - wild boar ravioli was to die for 6 of us all very impressed - deffo return and wonderful gift of a fab bottle of Prosecco to take home from Massimo as a birthday present. I lived and worked in Italy for many years the food is as good if not better than the top restaurants in Milan Florence Rome Pisa Turin Vercelli Grazie mille
E. B.
Beautiful decor, super helpful and professional staff, gorgeous food and a welcoming atmosphere whether you've been once or 100 times. The best genuine Italian establishment in Cardiff, hands down.
R. C.
Great quality food, and a really cosy and romantic atmosphere. Staff were really friendly and we're always on hand. Best Italian in South Wales from my experience 😊
B.
Massimo and the team make this a fantastic little gem of Cardiff's eating scene.
Great food, great atmosphere and Massimo always makes the extra effort.
You must try the Melanzana alla Parmigiana, I love it! When We lived close I used to come and get a portion to take away!
We will certainly be back. Grazie!

I loved the rigatoni pasta, really amazing, and also liked the ravioli!
Starters did not impressed me (from an Italian point of view), cured meats were not particulary good.
Staff very friendly and nice!

Excellent food in pure Italian tradition (I’m Italian- trust me) and nice talks made me feel at home.
Special thanks to Mrs. Maria and her memories.
Keep going like this Giuseppe!

Lovely independently-owned Italian restaurant. The food was delicious and cooked wonderfully, especially the homemade pasta which was perfectly al dente. The staff were very friendly and the service was brilliant. Having just come back from a holiday in Italy, I Giardini di Sorrento was like we had never left!
S. 1.
If I could legally marry any food , I'd marry any single thing they have in this restaurant, including desserts and coffee.
H. Y.
Sorrento sunshine on a cold wet night - utterly Italian - full of life and beautiful flavours. My partner and I enjoyed home made pasta with a delicious Gorgonzola and walnut sauce, a spectacular lobster and rounded off with the most luscious Limoncello gâteau - all washed down with the most excellent house red. Torneremo presto ❤️
