Cicchetti in Cardiff

Went here this morning looking for full English unfortunately they don't do one but they offered to get as close as they could to one the beautiful young lady and the lovely chap she was working with could not have done anymore for you they make you feel welcome and comfortable I had omelette cheese chicken and mushrooms it was very nice indeed just one criticism which half way thru eating it I seen snotty egg whites which put me off a little but I still ate the lot really tasty

I can't praise this place enough! Delicious, authentic Italian food. Incredible wine selection (we got to taste 3 and each was delicious!). Lovely, genuine and attentive staff. Great coffee to finish off the meal. I can't wait to visit Cicchetti again to continue going through the rest of the menu!

Lovely small local restaurant. The pizza and pasta dishes were both really fresh and tasty and table service was attentive. There is an outside section and inside section so suitable for any weather.

Lovely restaurant. Good service. Friendly staff. I ordered the squid ink Pasta Nero dish and when it arrived it was normal spaghetti. I wasn't told that they had run out of squid ink pasta and when I pointed out the difference between black and white spaghetti I was then told that possibly it was unavailable and the chef would make me a different dish. If I had known that there was no squid ink I would have chosen a different dish at the start. I did eat the dish so as not to have to wait and I was given this dish for free.

Fabulous little restaurant with authentic Italian food and really friendly staff. Highly recommend the beef shin ragu, it was sensational.

Love this small, family run restaurant. Great atmosphere, amazing food and lovely service. Highly recommended

It saddens me to have to write a review like this from one of the only local restaurants around here.We had good food. But felt it was steeply priced for the quality we got. Cheese balls for starters, a few of which had no cheese in them at all sadly. That coupled with extremely poor service led me to 3 stars.If the servers had been welcoming, we didn't have to wait 20+ minutes to order and then not get food until an hour into our visit. Along with the table next to us arriving, order and getting starters before we had even had our order taken. I would happily have given it 4 maybe even 5 stars if the food reflected the price.The atmosphere was great. It is just such a shame we had a negative experience. Wanted it to be good, really really wanted this local restaurant to be a 5 stars. Perhaps we will go back in the future and try again, maybe we got unlucky.I just hope our visit was a one off and next time we go it'll be amazing.

Friendly Italian in Radyr with tasty authentic pizzas. Relaxed atmosphere and a superb Chianti that Hannibal Lecter would die for🍷👌🏻

Jan 2020 - revisit which is always a positive sign....but still a bit odd. Not much change from last time. Food was good - tasty and decent portions, so would be 5 star for meal. However, service was weird again....one really friendly waiter, the other was really grumpy and rude - I think it was the same person as last time. Also a very strange smell across the whole restaurant that smelt a bit like toilets. Despite the food being lovely, I am not so sure we will return again.Jan 2019 - Good food and ambience in general. Busy on a Thursday evening in January which is positive. The service was a bit odd. We were welcomed with the greeting, 'your table is not ready (10mins early) would you like to sit somewhere else (ie by the toilets)'. Not really but we didn't have a lot of choice. Food was delivered with a slam which kids thought was v funny....weird.

Very satisfying food. We enjoyed a couple of plates of pasta here. We really liked the atmosphere of the place and everything was better than expected, much nicer than a ‘standard italian’
