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.

Visited here last night after hearing many, many strong recommendations and they absolutely did not disappoint! A small, charming Italian in the city centre, Cafe Citta offers some of the best Italian cuisine in Cardiff, and certainly the best in the city centre. With my Italian colleagues saying it is one of the most authentic Italian restaurants in Cardiff, I can see why. A delightfully fresh, and balanced flavour to every dish, Cafe Citta offers fantastic food where there is ample evidence of the freshly prepared nature of the food. Being such a small restaurant, I would definitely recommend booking in advance. Also, customers with mobility issues may wish to discuss with the restaurant ahead of time whether there is seating in some of the more spacious areas available. Definitely another strong recommendation from me!
