    Delicious food. Homemade and really yummy. Used to visit regularly in the 1990s but felt it was getting a bit dated. Glad to see it brought back to life! The meatballs, Fritto misto and pizzas highly recommended. Only criticism would be the service - drinks we're slammed down with such force it was a bit scary and some organisation with the waiting staff - we were asked the same questions over and over. Despite this, we would return. Revisited with a group of friends. All still very nice. The meat in the carbonara was a bit greasy. Desserts were huge, too big too finish!

    Another great meal at this place. Friend and I went for the lasagne and the Penne al Pollo and a cheeky cheesy garlic bread. Beautiful food and very filling too. I've never had a bad meal from this place and I'm glad cardiff has a restaurant like this.

    Went there with my gym friends and the food was lovely. I had tagliatelle with mushroom and prawns. It was really delicious and prawns were so tasty and fresh. Would recommend anyone going there. Some of us ordered Calzone and other pastas and pizza, too. They said it was delicious, too. It was busy in there as I think people were having their Christmas do. But it felt really nice and the staff were very good and cheerful. Would highly recommend this place.

    Took my family here for a birthday meal. Pizzeria Villagio was absolutely fantastic! The fantastic menu, the quality of the ingredients & flavour, and the outstanding service made for a highly enjoyable experience, everyone enjoyed themselves and were very happy that I'd brought them here, we will definitely be back, and cannot recommend them enough to everyone else, you will not be disappointed! Two of my favourite things were the Salsiccia (I absolutely love this sausage, I get it all the time when outside of the UK, but it has been difficult to find here, until now) and the Orecchiette Boscaiola (Italian sausage and mushrooms cooked in a creamy white wine sauce) which was honestly one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had, it's now a firm favourite!

    Outstanding!! I accidentally booked a table for the wrong night, they still made sure to seat us on a busy Friday night. The staff were amazing and the food was even better if possible. Solid 10/10 all round, highly recommend. Pizza and pasta so fresh and tasty and the mixed meats platter and meatballs amazing. Definitely return

    My third time visiting Villaggio and each time I’ve been more blown away! The service is second to none, the staff are attentive and friendly and leave you wanting for nothing. The food is divine and has been better each time I’ve visited, and their drinks selection is fantastic. My favourite restaurant in Cardiff by far. Thanks again for another wonderful experience, you’re a fantastic team!

    Excellent meal at this well-known Italian restaurant in Whitchurch in Cardiff. Caprese salad fresh and plenty of mozzarella. Lasagne was extremely tasty. Calzone was huge and delicious. Not the cheapest Italian in Cardiff, but the food is top class. Gets exceedingly busy, so booking in advance is recommended. The seating is quite densely packed, and the open plan can make it quite noisy, so maybe not the place gor thar romantic meal for two, but if you are celebrating, the lively atmosphere and friendly service will make for an enjoyable evening.

    Fantastic food with the best calzone I've ever had - both my partner and I love it so much we keep going back! Great atmosphere with the right combination of modern restaurant and classic Italian. The staff are friendly and attentive, and service has always been fast and professional. This was both mine and my partner's birthday meal out choice and it did not fail to deliver - excellent both times. Would definitely recommend! Also would recommend booking a table as they are (with good reason) very popular.

    Visited on a Friday evening in November. Great atmosphere and pretty busy when we arrived for our 8 o'clock booking. Some great Italian staples on the menu, both went for pasta dishes that were really good. Table next to us had pizza which looked equally as good. Our food seemed to come quicker than when we ordered our drinks but I think they were just busy. Would recommend!

    Hadn't been here for years before last night but it's always remained a family favourite. Lovely warm atmosphere, fabulous menu with great food at very reasonable prices considering the quality and generous portion. Great coffee too which is always important to me.

  • 5/5 Gareth B. 8 months ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious. Starters were very good, but the 2 pasta dishes we had blew us away, incredible flavours. Can't wait to go back. We had walk in, so only had a short time slot, really want to try the desserts.

  • 5/5 Kate H. 9 months ago on Google
    Thanks for a lovely meal and great service yesterday evening. The pizzas are always delicious and the Tiramisu is heavenly. Thanks for finding us a super seat and for the attentive service. So good that you've been able to expand upstairs too!

    I went here for my birthday and hired out the upstairs private room. It was great! The service was very good and the food was great. The pizzas were handmade and authentic and the pasta looked delicious.

    Ridiculously good pizza at stupidly affordable prices. As a bass player, this was THE place to go for my birthday, then onto the Earl Haig for an Arthur Brown concert.

  • 5/5 Ricky M. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff and food were amazing! All very reasonably priced, not local to me by any means, but will definitely be returning.

  • 4/5 MarK M. 1 year ago on Google
    Proper Italian restaurant ( many are run by Albanians ) with good quality food. Quite busy on my mid week visit. A good sign. Noisy. Very attentive waiting staff , my cup of tea came rapidly. The soup was delicious. They got my pizza order wrong but it was replaced very quickly. A minor comment is I would like to see the pizza topping brought closer to the edge. I really liked it and will be back again. Reccomended

    Busy place. Booked our table for 5.30pm on a Tuesday. Within 45mins, the place was heaving! Service was good at that time. Food was served hot. Point to note: though it didn't affect us, its definitely advisable to state how many buggies your party brings if you have children in that age band. They need to arrange tables to make space.

    Simply the best Italian I have ever had, the food is authentic and fresh and is sourced locally. Genuinely gorgeous food, and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. In addition to this, the service was great and the whole experience was top notch. We will definitely be returning!

  • 4/5 Stuart L. 3 months ago on Google New
    Great atmosphere and pretty busy when we arrived for our 5.30 o'clock booking. Some great Italian staples on the menu, both went for a calamari starter that was really good. My friend had pizza which was equally as good. Our food seemed to come very quickly even though they were busy. Would recommend!

  • 2/5 William L. 1 year ago on Google
    We arrived without a booking and was directed to a table "at the back", which was actually outside so would have been nice if we had been told that is where we would be sitting. To make matters worse, two tables away someone was smoking - I thought this was no longer allowed in restaurants and is inconsiderate by both the smoker and the restaurant for allowing it. As a non-smoker, really don't want the waft of cigarette smoke turning up. Food was fine, but being seated outside without being asked and within the vicinity of a smoker means this will be the first and last visit.

    Went to this restaurant tonight for my husbands birthday as it was recommended by my other family members ! Food was lovely but the service was awful , our plates weren’t cleared for ages and we had to asked to order desserts but no-one bothered with us . At no time did we feel welcome and my husband birthday wasn’t even mentioned and we asked for a table outside which didn’t also happen .. The waiter staff just want interested in us at all 👎 home early and husband very deflated on which should have been a lovely evening .

    Had a wonderful evening with work colleagues, the food was was absolutely delicious and all meals were hot. The atmosphere at the Villaggio was very relaxed and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Would recommend this venue for a lovely night out.

  • 5/5 Jacs W. 2 years ago on Google
    Came across this eatery by accident and I'm so glad we did! I'm reckoning this will now become a firm favourite in the future. Food is delicious and authentic as well as super fresh. If Mum said it once she said it 10 times how it was the best pizza she's eaten in ages!!!

  • 5/5 Claire S. 1 year ago on Google
    Every meal here has been beautiful and nice big portions.

  • 5/5 Samantha M. 2 years ago on Google
    So glad we found this place! The food is fantastic, one of the best Italians I've ever had. The service was great, with food and drinks arriving quickly and found it very reasonably priced. Lovely restaurant, looking forward to returning soon!
