Read a few reviews and thought go on, try it out. Hoped it would be good as we have used a different restaraunt for years every time we stay in the city. Was not disappointed! Food was amazing and staff and owners friendly. Ended up spending 3.5 hours in there. Wonderful way to spend an evening. Can't wait to get... More

Myself, my mother, my son and a very elderly Italian friend enjoyed a truly authentic Italian meal at Cafe Citta on Saturday 19th May, 2012. The linguini amatriciana was the best I've tasted in a long time! Don't expect silver service or posh surroundings but expect good efficient service, a pleasant atmosphere and delicious Italian food at a very reasonable... More

Sat 19th May : My wife and i had a lovely meal here after a concert and much enjoyed it. She had a pasta/fish dish and I had a chicken meal with saute potatoes and a salad : both meals were delicious. We also had two bottles of reasonably priced Italian wine, - the total bill coming to £47. The... More

Great italian, best pizza in cardiff and great pasta dishes. Small but perfectly formed with a real log burning pizza oven. The service is quick and always friendly. Go once and you'll be hooked!!

We found the owners of Cafe Citta a charming couple who cook really good Italian food. We had prawns for starters followed by a folded pizza and a sausage and lentil dish, slow cooked to produce a dish full of flavour. We chose the house red which was a delicious Montipulciano. The restaurant is intimate without being odd, quirkly decorated... More

This real Italian family business serves real Italian food; plain dishes with quality ingredients that simply taste delicious. Mother leads the eclectic open kitchen while father casually serves some more wine and their daughter waits tables. Don't expect class or style; do expect amicability, having a good time and ending up with a full stomach.

What a lucky find. We were in Cardiff for the Dr Who tour and happened by this little gem. The owner and his wife run it and are very friendly. The food was amazingly good. The menu is short but that allows them to focus on making very good pizza and pasta. The prices are very reasonable. This is not... More

On the hunt for a quiet but charming restaurant in central Cardiff, we stopped at Cafe Citta. It's small and intimate and very relaxed. I liked the bruschetta appetizer to start. Had the margherita pizza to share. I will say I've had better pizza in my day, but the crust was really nice. They also offered up chili oil which... More

Family and I visited Cardiff for a recent rugby weekend. It was obviously going to be busy and thus I thought booking a restuarant for an evening meal would be best. Reviewed reviews for Cafe Citta and things sounded good..... How wrong the reviews were....Sorry to say it but a meal at McDonalds would have been better. Yes, there was... More
