If you're looking for an Italian restaurant in Cardiff St David's, nab a table at Ciliegino. The family-owned spot showcases Sicilian cuisine with a menu bursting full of pasta and pizza options. After your visit, expect dreams of 'nduja and honey all week.
The Cardiff Stable is perfect if you're partial to inventive Italian food with a pun, as 'zas like Burger On The Dancefloor and A to enjoy a pizza some bottomless brunch action for just £29 too.
Only at Zerodegrees do metre-long Neapolitan pizzas and Peking duck fly out of the oven every day. Pop in for traditional pasta dishes, but if you're feeling wild, opt for a bowl of tequila and lime chicken tagliatelle.
When date night comes calling, why not go to one of the best Italian restaurants in Cardiff city centre? Crack open a bottle of red, share a charcuterie board and indulge in Prego's classics like mozzarella-filled ravioli and lasagne.
The Brass Beetle is potentially our favourite Italian restaurant in Whitechurch Cardiff, thanks to its gorge selection of 12" pizzas. Sweet chorizo is its menu's meaty highlight, but we are all here for the roasted cauliflower with caramelised leeks too.
