This “little gem” of an Italian restaurant – “close to the Millennium stadium, so perfect to help you celebrate or forget” – has a “pleasingly old-fashioned and independent atmosphere”, created by the three friends who have run it together for nearly two decades – Antonio, Selim and Luca. The small menu of “superb, authentic dishes” is not reliant on pasta and pizza, which makes a welcome change.

The “interesting”, “fresh” and “imaginative food in this small restaurant” have established it as one of “the very best Italians” in Cardiff over the past decade and a half. Chef-patron Antonio Cersosimo, Calabrian-born but raised in Milan, keeps the menu concise to ensure the quality and freshness of ingredients and there’s a “very good wine list” thanks to Luca Montuori, the Neapolitan co-owner and expert of Italian wines.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
