  “Looking for somewhere nice to eat before watching The Street at Cardiff Castle. I’ve lived in Cardiff for 26 years and have never been here before but I’m so glad I did today. Service was quick and friendly and the food was amazing, I’ll be back soon”

  “Fabulous meal last night. In lieu of my birthday - and after a great day of cricket watching Welsh Fire women's and men's team's victories. The atmosphere was buzzing, the service hit the spot and the bill (tho I didn't pay it!) did not break the bank. The atmosphere around Cardiff as we collected our car was also very cheerful.”

  “Fab team! Delicious food. Make sure you are really hungry as the portions are very generous. We had a pizza and Pasta Polpette. Both delicious. Best advice is to book if you are planning visits at peak times. Already thinking when we can go again!”

  “We had a lovely time here! The staff were really friendly and the staff were amazing. There were 3 of us eating, but only 2 of us ordered dessert as the third was full, but the staff brought over a wafer for her so she wouldn't get left out which was really thoughtful and I thought it was lovely :) I highly recommend Cafe Citta to anyone visiting Cardiff, but book in advance because it can be difficult to get a walk in space 🩷”

  “We found this lovely little Italian restaurant after we travelled down from Aberystwyth to spend a day sight seeing and shopping on my eldest daughter's birthday. It's a very popular restaurant, particularly as the day we visited it was a sunny Saturday afternoon. It was fully booked when we enquired at about 2.30pm, however, we were offered a a table for 4.15pm which was fine by us as we hadn't yet finished exploring the beautiful city of Cardiff. On arrival we were warmly greeted by a lovely Italian lady, & then waited on by a polite server who attended to us in a friendly and professional way, and did drop in and out every now & again to check that we were all enjoying our meal. We visited as a family of five, with my youngest son being 12 & having a severe allergy to prawns. I informed the staff of this immediately upon arrival, & they were able to accommodate him & prepare a meal that was free from any allergens. The food was delicious, we ordered two vegetarian pasta dishes, the meatball special that day, a chicken dish & a Margherita pizza. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, quite small, but well laid out, and definitely gives you the feeling that you are eating in a bistro in Italy. I particularly liked where we were seated as we could watch the food being prepared. All went down very well, and on a special occasion we would visit here again. We definitely recommend!”

  “Came for my brother's 21st, 10 of us! Atmosphere was great, staff couldn't do enough and the FOOD! Wow.. the food was out of this world! Hands down the NICEST, TASTIEST Italian food I have ever eaten! Cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu! Also had someone who is Celiac in our party and they were brilliant, great options and was thoroughly enjoyed!”

  “I popped here for lunch on Thursday. I was in the mood for an authentic Italian meal and knew I wanted pasta. On arrival they had one table left as I hadn’t booked which was by the door. It’s a bit of a mish mash of a seat there and kinda feels like it’s there to maximise the covers but either way I was by myself and had a seat. I saw numerous people turned away (politely) throughout my meal as they hadn’t booked. When I left the place was full both inside and out so I can only infer it has a good reputation locally. I ordered the tagliatelle carbonara and a coke. Coke came quickly and the carbonara in about 15 minutes which indicates it was probably made from scratch. The carbonara was decent. It was slightly heavy and I only just finished it but I did like the flavour. It had an abundance of pancetta. Normally places skimp on this as it’s the most expensive component but here there was tonnes. It was nice but in a weird way kinda threw me. Venue is small and contained but the service manages to weave in and out. I was shown the specials which on another day sounded delicious. It’s not cheap but it did feel like good value and liked the atmosphere. I would go again. And again the service stood out.”
