"The restaurant must have recently hired a new chef because the quality of the food has significantly improved. The dishes are now spicier, more savory, fresh, and delicious."

"On arrival the staff where lovely , we ordered our meal . The lasagne sounded good so both ordered the same. What a disappointment, it was stodgy and too much tomato , hardly any cheese. I have never left a lasagne but could only manage...half of it , as did my friend. and that was a struggle. It reminded me of a cheap lasagne from a bargain supermarket or school meals , the worst I have ever had.! Even the garlic bread was very dry, so we thought the pudding would be better , creme anglaise was curdles and hard ... I left half of it .. my friend left all of hers as it was just tasteless, and slightly frozen .. sad because we used to love this restaurant , wont be going back for a long time ."

"The first time we went as a family and we were really impressed! Not least by our waiter, Robert, who was absolutely fantastic. He made space for us indoors (as it was quite chilly outside) by cleverly rearranging some tables without us having to ask. He was so kind and attentive. He’s a real asset to Valentina’s. Thanks Robert. Also Valentina’s made our dog very welcome too. We will definitely be back."

"This is our local Italian deli, with the restaurant to the rear of the shop. The food is never anything less than wonderful, We've eaten here a lot and never had anything but a great experience. The kids menu is small, but adequate with pasta and pizza on offer and it's possible to tweak the items. The calves liver is my personal favourite, but having eaten most things on the menu at some point, you really can't go wrong here."

"The food was beautifully presented, as always. Our starter arrived at the right time, but we experienced a nearly 25-minute wait for our main course, and no explanation was given for the delay. Larger tables of four were served their starters, mains, and desserts after we had our starter but before we received our main dish. We didn’t receive any updates during this time. While the restaurant was busy (which is great for them given the current climate), there were moments when social distancing wasn’t maintained, making it feel a bit cramped. I will return because I enjoy the restaurant and the food, but it's clear that some improvements are needed to ensure that the focus on profit doesn’t compromise good service, as well as the safety and comfort of both staff and customers."

"The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, but the food was disappointing and the service was slow. We went for a quick lunch during our lunch hour, but ended up waiting 20 minutes just for our drinks, leaving us with only 15 minutes to eat our meal. The menu offers a diverse selection, and my friend's Italian roasted teigcake, called pizza fritta, was very interesting. However, my salad was disappointing with a bland dressing. Overall, we will not be returning to this restaurant."

"Mix reviews. First time I went had a great experience took the tartare which was delicious followed by the grilled fish with was also delicious. Would have given 5 stars. This time I ordered the bone marrow burger. It Was dry, very salty and served with a side salad without oil or vinaigrette wasn’t sure what the plan was with that. I definitely wouldn’t order again and service was on the cold side compared to first time. Would had given it a 3 stars at best. So averaging on the good side I’ll give it a 4 but based on this experience I don’t think I’ll return."

"The food was really delicious, and the service was friendly. It is very loud in there between but then gets quieter as families with young children tend to have left by then. One thing though the service was a little bit slow when we’d finished our mains. No one collected the plates for about mins and we didn’t get offered a dessert menu/ couldn’t get their attention for about half an hour and by that point we didn’t fancy pudding anymore!! Shame, because the desserts did look lovely. We’d deffo go there again for the food, and would just time it a bit later to avoid the kids as it does get very very loud!"

"Birthday meal out with friends. It was like stepping back in time, when Cardiff was blessed with many such Italian family run restaurants Waiters were efficient and experienced. Food was great too.The atmosphere created here by the owner is superb. Long may it continue…..we will be back. (If only parking was easier"

"This fantastic little restaurant is hidden in a shopping center. The cakes are freshly imported from a large wood stove in Italy, so they are both delicious and affordable. There are plenty of options on the menu that I have never seen in Scotland. The owners and staff are friendly and chatty. We tried a variety of cakes and sides, all of which were delicious. The highlights were the olive cake and baba ghanoush. I highly recommend this place."

"I have recommended this place for what feels like a million times to people as I have had many fantastic meals here However... On Wednesday it was unfortunately the last time we go. It had nothing to do with the wait, as the burgers are cooked from fresh and it's always worth the wait. The problem was the fact we got completely ripped off with the toppings. I paid for just one single thin slice of chorizo, it was rather embarrassing really. Same again with the bacon, we had one tiny piece of bacon each and then the halloumi was also a bit of joke too, it was shocking. Back in previous visits, the burgers were loaded with toppings but honestly, it was pathetic It's a shame because I had only last week organised the team in work to all go out for a meal there because i told them it's the best burger around Now I have to find somewhere else because I don't want them wasting money on what seemed like a child's portion of a burger."

"aaahhh, La Pappardella....There's nothing I can say that can give their food justice...I've known La Pappardella for years, though I haven't been there for a while, until recently, where my husband and I decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary.So we went there full of hopes for a delicious, romatic evening. And such evening we've had.We were greeted by two of their staff and even though we have booked a table, they gave us a free choice to sit wherever we wanted. The restaurant is small but they do have some sitting downstairsin and in the back garden in the summer.We've ordered a nice bottle of white wine. The choice on the menu is endless. Anything from pasta through risotto to pizzas and salads. We started off with grilled prawns and carpaccio. Now, I'm not a big fan of sea food, but I scoffed up almost all of my husband's starter. Carpaccio: tender and full of flavour.For main, my hubby chose risotto. That was the biggest plate i have seen while eating out. It was rich and creamy with fresh chicken and tender veg. I went for a lobster spaghetti. A bit extravagant, but it was a special occasion and I just wanted to compare London's lobster to the one we had in St Kitts. Well, I was not dissapointed. A huge plate of pasta (though it was slightly over-cooked and i like mine a bit tenter) in a rich, fresh tomato and a hint of a chilli sauce and there, on top, lay the lobster in its full glory: cut in quarters. It was delicious and... messy.... I never had to play with tools like this before, as previously I had my lobster shelled. But it was so much fun to get dirty.Ice-cream based desserts were the perfect finish to a lovely meal. At the ned, we received complimentary shots of lemon flavoured course meal for with bottle of wine and service we have paid which is an absolute bargain for the quality of food and service you'll receive in return.I love that little place and we just keep coming back for more.Buon apetito!"

"Never order from here again its a joke just got my order and the pizza is black, I rang up to complain and just got laughed at, it took an hour to get the food and the getting told that it's going to be another 30 too 45 min wait is unacceptable, do they not have food standards, I would have never sent food out in this state, but to top it off while complaining I'm getting laughed at on the phone, is truly unacceptable very very poor customer service all completely unacceptable"

"Sure, here is the rewritten restaurant review in English: Last night, I had the opportunity to dine at this restaurant and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the ambiance was just perfect. I will definitely be returning in the future."

"My wife and I visited this restaurant some years back, when it was called one of the many names it feels like it has been called, due to the good right ups. Sadly, it was far from what we expected, loud, absolutely freezing cold inside (not helped by the fact it was chucking it down outside), and below par food. So we met up friends for an evening out and we thought we'd try Vadi out. Our thoughts, good I suppose, food was nice, it isn't as cold or loud as it was, but the service left a little to be desired. They were all friendly and polite, however two of our meals appeared, the other two about 10 minutes later, I asked for garlic three times, it was all a bit hit and miss. They were busy, but that isn't an excuse. Will give them one more chance and see what happens."
