  “Nice price, nice food. And veg options! I stumbled upon this stand on a lunch break and decided to give it a try. The pasta is fresh, they infuse it with their cheese wheel and you have different toppings. I went for the veggie carbonara and it did not disappoint. £9. The workers were super nice too and they worked quite fast. I didn't wait even 5min. Definitely a must try if you come to Cardiff Market.”

  “An excellent option for lunch! I had a salad which was a special of the day — a combination of all of my favorites… arugula, tomatoes, burrata, pesto and topped with fried chicken and fried aubergine. Delicious! Staff was friendly and service was quick.”

  “My best friend and I came here for some lunch and it was the best food we have ever had. Josh is the nicest chef we have ever encountered and we will definitely be back for more of his cooking! He is an asset to your business.”

  “Novel street food stall serving fried gnocchi and cheese wheel pasta. Service was friendly and portions were reasonable for the price (£9). The dirty gnocchi unfortunately did not land today, having noticeably rubbery gnocchi and low-quality clumped bacon bits, likely due to being out for too long. The aioli had decent depth and helped lift the bowl slightly, but the dish leaned very salty and greasy throughout. Flaws were likely influenced by ordering near closing time. I would hesitate to recommend this particular visit, although I suspect the bowls are much tastier when served fresh during normal hours.”

  “I have never had a bad experience with this place, the staff are lovely, especially the one with the bandana. The food is always ethereal and it’s always a delight to come here! I would rate it 10 stars if I could!!”

  “I'm a complete sucker for fresh tagliatelle done in a Parmesan wheel, when done well it's a total banger and a thing if beauty. I was though a little hesitant at first about ordering as I saw the name of the establishment had "Dirty" in the title, a word that is currently making me cringe, it's so overused and gives licence the Dr Frankenstein cooks to throw everything they have in the cupboard on top of beautifully simple food and complete kill it. However.... This is one place that strikes the right balance and takes the classics, adds a few carefully curated extras and delivery some blinding dishes! I had the Dirty Milanese tagliatelle... Beautifully cooked and cheesy pasta, still with just the right amount of bite. Topped with a beautifully soft, rich and well seasoned beef Ragu with the addition of parmesan fried chicken. If I had one critique one of the pieces of the chicken was a little tough on the outside. But only just. Over I'd definitely eat again! I've seen some of the specials they've done over time, and they look exciting. I will be back next time I'm in Cardiff.”

  “Really good place to eat with very yummy food. My go to lunch spot when at work! The pasta on the cheese wheel is amazing and you get that for less than £10. So good! I’ve tried the gnocchi too but in my opinion nothing tops the pasta there.”

  “Absolutely stunning. The gnocchi is delightfully crispy — a pleasant surprise! You can also try the pasta prepared in that giant wheel of cheese, which adds a lovely richness. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the superb quality of the food.”
