Giovanni's Restaurant

Food was incredible, you can literally taste Italy in this restaurant! Fast service and great atmosphere! Marvin and Gennaro made sure we got a great service and we felt like we were home! 10/10, if you are in cardiff you have to go here!

A lovely authentic Italian restaurant nicely placed in the centre of Cardiff! What a great dining experience! Upon arriving on a busy Saturday night we received a warm greeting and were promptly shown to our table. The food and atmosphere was great, the food arrived piping hot all tasting authentic and delicious! We had the lasagne and seafood special, with clean plates all around! This place really has that little Italy feel factor, I do recommend!

What a find absolutely loved the food in here. The arachini starter was fabulous and so was all the pasta dishes we had. Very friendly staff can’t wa lit to go back it was excellent

My first time to Cardiff, Wales and Giovanni's was recommended by the lovely Carrie at front desk, Hilton Cardiff. After all, it was s girls trip for my birthday (25 May) and we wanted to celebrate in class. Giovanni's exceeded our expectations. Friendly staff and good service. Excellent food! The location was easy to find on The Hayes, just 8 minutes from our Hotel. I appreciated the atmosphere - cozy, unpretentious. And the walls are filled with some of Giovanni's famous guests over the years. Being from the Caribbean, it was special to see a photo with cricketing greats George Best and Sir Viv Richards, taken back in the day. My only negative was the pannacotta did not rank high. The strawberry glazing could simply have been a small offering of berry compote. Nevertheless, I highly recommend Giovanni's!

Review from wheelchair user: Came all the way from England for the Lasagna and my word, it didn't disappoint. Quick service, great atmosphere, accommodating staff and the best Lasagna we have ever had! Not good if you hate lots of delicious cream sauce or lots of cheese. Garlic bread was three slices but I had already eaten one. Even though there are 2 steps in, they have a ramp for wheelchair access. Please be aware, wheelchair toilet however there is a pub around the corner which has one if needed.
