"great service here. we were asked about any allergies before we set ourselves and I got a certain GF menu. the menu was somehow slim I ended the ordering of the chicken frames that had a little simple and blanching, but overall had a safe, pleasant experience without symptome. server told me that my meal would be made by the chef to ensure no cross-contamination. I will definitely go back and try the other dishes on the GF menu."

"cafe citta is a tiny little restaurant that is worn away and is very inconspicuous. if they have not made extensive food research, they might miss it at the end because it looks impressing from the outside. I recommend to them however to go an effort because if they are looking for authentic Italian food in cardiff, cafe citta should definitely do on their list! atmosphere: it is a very small restaurant with barely walking. the tables are small and crampy, so when they come with more than 3 people, I recommend to them a booking well in advance. but despite being small, the decoration is really charming. it felt more like going into someone's living room than a real restaurant! there were flowers each table with beautiful wooden tables, whose table legs were decorated in very ornate style, and cool paintings on the wall as well! customer service: excellent, could not be better. not only the personal friendly, but they were also very attentive and made sure that our table was well clarified without having to say anything at all! Food: that was excellent. as an appetizer we had the caprese, which was fresh buffalo mozzarella with a beautiful sauce and fresh tomato. the mozzarella was fantastic and really very fresh. we also ordered the polenta al ragu and the bolognese soße, which accompanied the polnta was fantastic! for a pornstar, I ordered the pollo alla romana, which was a whole chicken breast with sage, parma ham, and a side of kartoffel and salat boiled. we also had a garlic pizza to share. they gave us chili oil and parmesan on the side for extra spices. everything was great! I am usually not too excited to order chicken breast in a restaurant, but it was extremely juicy I didn't know that chicken breast could be so tender! there were great aromas everywhere. the only negatiw is that I recommend to give them the garlic pizza. it was quite bland and needed half a quantity of chili oil and parmesan to save it. overall I recommend cafe citta. next time, I would try one of her pasta dishes, how my partner swept over his tagliatelle carbonara!"

"This restaurant is a lot of fun as they have a variety of board games available to play. We enjoyed playing two cooperative word games with a group of six for just over two hours, paying £3 for the games. The staff were helpful in recommending games and they offer vegan options for starters, mains, sides, and desserts, similar to pub food. Some menu items include chilli fries, a beyond meat burger, milkshakes, and hot drinks. The vegan chocolate milkshake was particularly delicious, although it did come with a £5 price tag. I highly recommend this place. They require guests to wear masks when moving around and only allow one person on the board game shelves at a time, which I appreciate. Update from previous review on January 6, 2022."

"we ended up eating here as everywhere else was full due to the 6 nations event but this fantastic little bistro is hidden away in a small arcade so luckily for us it had been missed by the masses. It is only a small establishment but wow the food is amazing and the service second to none. We ordered their version of a toasted sandwich and decided to go for the small portion and then share a portion of fries. Next time we will just order the small sandwiches with no fries as we were so full by the time we had finished, I'm not sure I would be able to finish one of their large sandwiches. Even the salad tasted amazing and my husband who usually gives me anything green on his plate commented on how delicious the salad was. We cannot wait to return and hope to sample one of their evening events asap."
