I Giardini di Sorrento

Amazing food, portions really big ,great service as well .

The restaurant was really nice and the food was really good. As an Italian myself it was a real Italian experience, the music, the atmosphere were all lovely. The owner was really really nice too

Service was speedy and friendly and food was excellant. It felt like we were welcombed into the owners home for an evening meal. It was lovely.

Brilliant authentic Italian makes you feel like your in a resturant in Italy, food was delicious!

A very tasty meal! Thank you to the chefs for starting the night off right with a delicious dinner! The owner also had a great vibe for a birthday at the shop! Super recommended to come and try it!!! It's the restaurant that will review!

Food was good but rushed through the meal despite not being overly busy. Toilets needed some attention. Hand drier broken, no hand towels and more thorough cleaning would be nice.

Overheard that it was my birthday and gave me some gifts, really amazing service. Will definitely be back!

Lovely food and excellent service from friendly and attentive staff

I took my husband for his 60th birthday along with our two daughters and they loved it. I have been a few times before and now they are definitely going back!

Great service and excellent food! My two young sons loved their pizzas. Thanks!

Amazing service and some of the best food I've ever had. The smoked salmon was so fresh and the pasta was amazing

Perfect host perfect restaraunt perfect menu all in all just perfect

Excellent food, service and ambience. Always have a lovely time when I visit. Would highly recommend

We love to visit I Gardini di Sorento, one of our favourite meals out

Food was fantastic. We were made to feel very welcomed. Diolch

If you want to experience a kitchen nightmare "before" scenario, try this place. What a disrespectful bunch. Flavourless food. Poor service. One of my worst dining experiences in 40 years and 6 countries. I literally can't with these people.

Very good plates especially I suggest seafood linguine an italian corner in Cardiff

La comida excelente y el servicio rápido. El personal muy amable

A very nice, atmospheric and, most importantly, delicious Italian restaurant!

It was simply fantastic! Best restaurant in Cardiff by far!

Our visit was top class from the moment we arrived. We were so impressed by food, service, we've already booked to return. Loved it, thank you

Very good. Staff are very very nice and nice atmosphere.

LOOOOOOVE everything about this place. Would be perfect for any occasion

One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to! The food is stunning and the wait staff are incredible. I would highly recommend this place

Everything was great but was a bit noisy due to a large birthday party Will definitely visit again.

All the food was excellent. The music was a little too loud for us to hear each other. Background Italian music would have been preferable.

Beautiful Italian Authentic food Great service Delicious food Alcohol was expensive

Always fantastic food, this family run Italian is a Cardiff gem. I can’t praise it enough!

Great food, great service could not have asked for anymore 👍

Incredible food, amazing service and amazing atmosphere. Genuinely fantastic experience. I absolutely adore this restaurant.

Lovely surroundings, proper authentic Italian and food was delicious too

LOVELY ATMOSPHERE,LOVELY RESTAURANT,AND ALL STAFF VERY POLITE and Helpful..My Husband and I had a pleasurable experience.

The food was absolutely delicious, service was great. Can't wait to return!

Amazing place and fantastic food and services. Would go again

The food was okay. The calamari were very dry. The pizza was fine, but not amazing. The prizes for the food were also too high for the actual quality. Unfortunately the service was not great. It was very clear that if you do not order lots of food and drinks you're not really worth their time. They also added a service charge to the bill automatically. When asked if they could take this off, as we think the customer should decide whether they want to give a tip or not, the waitress became annoyed and was visibly shaking her head whilst we paid. She said it was to pay the employees, but the extortionate prices of the food should cover the salaries. Tips are nice add-ons for great service. We won't be coming back here unfortunately.

This was our first visit. It was recommended by a friend. Hospitality , service and food was fantastic. We went with friends who we had not seen for many years and we were not put under any pressure to order or leave. It was a fantastic evening. Definately worth a visit.Thanks.

Delicious food, friendly service and a great place to spend an evening. We will be back!

I visited this restaurant 7 years ago, it was lovely then but even better now. The food was incredibly tasty. As I have a gluten allergy the staff were very accommodating and you couldn’t tell the pasta was GF. All the staff went above and beyond. Wonderful customer service and wonderful food. We look forward to visiting again.

excellent food very friendly staff lst class service lovely wine

Lovely food but we felt as if we were being rushed out.

A lovely welcome followed by delicious food, all reasonably priced. Definitely going back!!

A lovely Italian restaurant with great food and good service.

My favourite Italian not just in Cardiff. Food is sublime, service is great and really authentic atmosphere

As always the food was delicious with a lovely friendly customer service!

Another great experience at this fantastic Italian restaurant in Cardiff

Food was alright a bit disappointed with the ravioli because it taste like a gravy. Staff was amazing

Lovely, authentic Italian restaurant with a charming and comfortable atmosphere. The service was excellent, as was the food. I would highly recommend it.

Thank you to all the staff. The service was fantastic and the food...stunning. If you're looking for a quality Italian restaurant, this place is a must!

Nestled in the heart of the city, Giardini di Sorrento offers an authentic taste of Italy that transports you straight to the sun-kissed coasts of the Amalfi. My recent visit to this charming eatery was nothing short of delightful, from the welcoming atmosphere to the superb cuisine that left a lasting impression. The evening began with high expectations, and Giardini di Sorrento exceeded them at every turn. The ambiance was warm and inviting, reminiscent of a traditional Italian trattoria. Soft lighting, Italian music, rustic decor, and the gentle hum of conversation created a cosy yet vibrant setting—perfect for an evening of indulgence. I opted for the Crab Linguine (Specials board) a dish that was as visually stunning as it was delicious. The linguine was perfectly al dente, coated in a rich and flavourful tomato-based sauce that complemented the succulent crab meat. Each bite was a harmonious blend of sweet, tender crab and the fresh, vibrant flavours of the Mediterranean. It’s a dish that exemplifies the chef’s dedication to authentic Italian cuisine. Those dining with me enjoyed the Bolognese and the Lamb Ragu—both traditional dishes executed with precision and flair. The Bolognese was a masterclass in simplicity, featuring a slow-cooked meat sauce that was hearty and deeply satisfying. The Lamb Ragu, on the other hand, was a revelation. The lamb was tender and flavourful, simmered to perfection in a robust sauce that clung to every piece of pasta, creating a dish that was both comforting and luxurious. To round off the meal, I indulged in the Tiramisu, a classic Italian dessert that did not disappoint. The layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone, and cocoa were balanced just right—rich but not overwhelming, with a lightness that made it the perfect end to the evening. They even added a birthday card with a £10 voucher for my partner, just exemplary. Giardini di Sorrento is more than just a restaurant; it’s an experience. The combination of authentic dishes, a lovely atmosphere, and superb execution makes it a must-visit for anyone craving a true taste of Italy. Whether you’re a fan of seafood, meat, or classic pasta, this gem of a restaurant has something to satisfy every palate. Highly recommended

Absolutely delightful. Authentic Italian cuisine, superb atmosphere, fantastic staff and wonderful food. Love your work, thank you
