I Giardini di Sorrento

A very friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Staff were typically Italian - very welcoming and professional. The meals were absolutely delicious as were the desserts. We were a group of 5. Our dishes varied from fish, risotto, chicken and ravioli. All were beautiful!!

Amazing authentic Napolitan Pizza... Sea Bass was fantastic. Service was warm and friendly... this is an Italian place for Italians - really something.

Friendly staff and very tasty food. I highly recommend! Grazie Mille

Rare example of authentic owner run small Italian restuarant with excellent service, food and wine

Excellent Italian restaurant, great service, food - 1st visit, will definitely return

Lovely food and service. Would have been nice to have some traditional Italian music, rather than the 70s disco music. Will definitely revisit.

Good. Food. So friendly service. Was nice to come again and great value for miney

Authentic fresh Italian food served with a smile. Definitely recommend.

Super food and service. Music just a little loud to enable any reasonable conversation.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended. There are many Italian restaurants in Cardiff but this one is a real gemstone owned and run by a truly passionate food loving Italian a d his team Thank you for giving my mother a fabulous birthday.

The service was good and the waiting staff were lovely. The carry on in Italian between the chefs and waiting staff added to the atmosphere which was fund. Portion sizes are in my opinion massive. The starter of calamari was huge and could have served three people easily. The pasta was nice with both main courses however the veal served with both (was like the calamari) underseasoned. The cheesecake was similarly very generous in size. Value for money was OK but I was not blown away by the food and would probably not make a huge effort to go back. All in all not a disappointment, but not a nice surprise in terms of quality either.

The most incredible Italian food. Booked here for 2nd anniversary as a surprise throwback to our Italy trip. The food was as good as in country. And the service was phenomenal. 10/10.

I Giardino is wonderful. It feels like a little bit of Italy in Wales! BELISIMA!

Brilliant service, shown a full choice of pastas before we ordered, really nice atmosphere. Card payments were down but this is only a small issue as there was a cashpoint around the corner. Given a free drink for the inconvenience, would fully recommend!

Being early on a Monday lunchtime, the restaurant was much quieter than on our previous visit, when the atmosphere was great, but the service was friendly and attentive as ever. The food is exceptional here, with a great selection, including a variety of daily specials and, in my view, the best tiramisu ever! We will definitely be back.

Found on trip advisor. Booked for lunch with friends whilst away on a weekend to Cardiff. Lovely food and atmosphere, would definitely recommend.

Great time, Great service and Great Food as always here 😁

Excellent! Freshly made delicious pasta. Friendly and welcoming restaurant. Always love to come back here.

Really lovely meal at a very atmospheric restaurant, thank you!

Always a fabulous time here. Staff very friendly. You won't be disappiinted

Delicious food, friendly staff, good atmosphere & great value for money - will definitely return!

Loved the place, will be going back there again soon

The food wasn't great. Stodgy starts followed by mediocre pasta dishes and a pizza that had to sent back. The Service didn't handle the pizza issue well enough.

Best cheesecake in Cardiff. Very friendly staff, welcoming with a great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Best bolognese I've ever eaten. Fantastic service all round. Will definitely be back

Great authentic italian food , very efficient and friendly service

Exceptionally good. Warm and friendly. Delicious homemade food. Wide selection of Italian wines. Anniversary meal and the ambiance fitted the occasion

Family run, busy but relaxed, rustic, generous portions. We enjoyed.

Authentic Italian food. Nice staff. Very generious portions. Happy with it

Excellent meal as always. This is a proper family run Italian restaurant, with a really good menu. The food is always lovely and the service is friendly and efficient. Always a nice atmosphere, and they fully deserve the plaudits they receive for all the hard work they put into making it a really nice experience, every time.

Friendly atmosphere and excellent crab pasta. Pleasant red house wine.

Great food and atmosphere. Went with my mum who has dementia and the staff were patient and very friendly and she loved the extra attention. Thank you guys

Food was genuinely good and the tiramisu just tasted like home.

Good food bit drafty where we sat by door? Nice staff

Great food and lovely place . Enjoyed our evening very much 👌👌

Great food, friendly service and a very happy atmosphere. So Go.

Arrived at 7.50 for our 8pm reservation. We were asked to stand at the bar and wait. We did for 40minutes with no sign of being served. We left. It was my wifes birthday which was ruined. THANK YOU

Very accommodating and delicious! Lovely atmosphere and authentic Italian food

Gorgeous food, great atmosphere a hidden gem just outside the city’s centre

Very nice food! I did not expect this excellent quality. It is like going back to Italy.

Good service, really good food and we did not want to leave.

Excellent service excellent food excellent atmosphere this was my first visit and will definitely be going back

Music too loud on arrival but as the restaurant filled up it was drowned out by conversation. I don’t like paper napkins, especially at dinner. Apart from that, very authentic Italian experience.

I ordered Cabonara which wasn’t even on the menu, and they made me the best one ive ever had!

It was great and very authentically Italian- food delicious and staff warm and welcoming

Excellent service and fantastic food! It's like being in Italy 😁
