This is the fanciest place to have an nice and truly Italian dinner in Cardiff By The Sea, the taste every dollar spend in this... place is worth it, Seafood my favorite, pasta with gambini, zuppa di clam with the company of a good Wine of glass, and thedessert positano lime tarta. Read more
An amazing small Italian place. The food is made fresh and the taste and variety is wonderful. For sure worth a visit time... and time again. We love it. Read more
I was sadly disappointed in this place. The atmosphere was nice but the service was lacking. Took almost 10 minutes just for... someone to come get our drink order. It seemed like there was one person working. The server was kind, no issues with that, itjust took forever to get anything. Part of our order was missed, but we were still charged for it. I was really hoping that thefood would be really good but I felt it was pretty average. The bread was rock hard and the homemade pasta was dry. Based on thereviews, I'm assuming it was just an off night. I know things are hard now, so I will just chalk it up to a missed opportunity. Read more
Solid Italian place in Cardiff, definitely authentic, but they have their own unique dishes, a couple of the pastas are handmade... as well. I had high hopes, and I was with a big group. Most of them were very satisfied and loved their food. However, itdidn’t quite meet my expectations. Ordered bruschetta which was good but needed much more balsamic, couldn’t taste it. Thepasta I ordered was under salted and generally just decent. I was hoping for something better. However, I enjoyed theexperience, and would likely come back again and try something new. Read more
We had a lovely dinner on the patio. I ordered the halibut special that was cooked to perfection in a wine sauce with tomatoes... and porcini mushrooms. My husband ordered the branzino also cooked impeccably with crispy polenta. My dish was slightly toosalty but delicious and my husband's had a little too much polenta but it was delicious also. Others at the table ordered theveal scallops from the menu and said it was an excellent preparation. One person ordered salmon from the menu and said it wasthe best she'd ever had. The tiramisu was delicious as was the apple pastry alla mode and the salads people ordered were alldifferent and delicious from the basic mixed greens to the pear salad and the truffle ceasar. We would all easily come again. Read more
My anniversary dinner was great. We had 5 items. All of the specials were great. The wine selection was second to none. We... has a Super Tuscan...it went great with everything. We has Lobster Ravioli, Seafood Rosato, and Seafood Soup with goatcheese. You will love the complimentary bread with a tomato spread. Make sure to get the Tiramisu...or take it home for lightlate night snack. You will not be disappointed. Read more
This was the perfect ending to the perfect day! What a quaint little hideaway! Food was very good and service was excellent. The... ambiance and decor take you right to the heart of Positano Italy. It is rather stuffy and humid during summer months - get aseat close to the door for a light ocean breeze. We ordered the Alfredo with Chicken, and the Spaghetti Bolognese. The startersalads were just right - light and not over embellished. We also ordered the tiramisu and two glasses of Prosecco. It was alittle pricey ($125 out the door including tip). The restaurant is owned by three little Italian sisters who like to mix it withthe locals walking by - especially those of a K9 race. Overall lovely night. Read more
