Lovely Italian restaurant, staff were very hospitable and gave some good options on specials.

The food was delicious, authentic Italian, full of flavour and decent portions for the price. If you’re feeling Italian, definitely try this place!

One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever visited, it should be since I've been planning on going for 15 years now, such a small place, but with an excellent, authentic atmosphere.

Will definitely come again, although always remember to book in advance as there's only 13 tables.

Compact inside when busy. If you can get over (/avoid) that or sit at the tables outside, 101% worth it.
Very busy days? Book ahead or consider being flexible with timings.
Still reading? After three friends recommended Cafe Citta, a mere two years later (edit: just read recent other reviews and saw another person who waited too long!), we went as a family for a celebration.

Teenagers' tastes were covered with resultant smiles,

(1x Normal) Adult's choice was wide as well 👍 Eager to return.

(1x) Picky father's narrow criteria led to three strong choices . (Two were recommended beforehand.) Portion, taste and texture spot on.

Looking forward to the next time. (Carbonara?)

First time trying Cafe Citta and it did not disappoint. Great atmosphere, food and service. Can't fault it. Would recommend booking a table.

Best Italian food we've ever had

Went with my girlfriend and two kids , managed to get seated due to a cancellation , the waiter was very attentive and such good manners.
My girlfriend ordered the lasagna and it was the best she'd ever tasted.
I ordered the special , meatballs with plumb tomato sauce , cooked perfectly and seasoned so well.
The kids loved their pizza and both gave compliments and even wanted to go to the chef to thank them personally!.
Will be back for sure , this little cafe is a gem and affordable given the central cardiff location.
Thank you!
