"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!"

Small place but really good food! Nice decor and helpful waitstaff. All around a good authentic Italian restaurant in a very convenient location close to the castle and shops in the city center.

Lovely place with a wonderful athmosphere. It is a small italian cafe, which offers remarkable service and quality of the meals. I have enjoyed my sword-fish steak, it was very well cooked. Highly recommended if you are looking for an intimate place with great food. View menu

My oldest boy and I stopped at Cafe Citta after a trip to Cardiff Castle as tourists (from the US). We were really really happy with the meal we had, and that says a lot. My son has Aspergers and is very serious about his meals he refuses to eat anything that is even remotely different for him, but he enjoyed his meal at Cafe Citta. The space is very small and the atmosphere is a bit crowded, but the food more than makes up for what the space lacks. We did not find the service to be anything but awesome, and if we're ever back in Cardiff we'll definitely stop by.

We visited Cardiff from London and were hungry, so we decided to try yelp. Not sure about doing Italian in Wales but this place is wonderful. It seems family run (is that Mamma and Papa in the open kitchen? . Not sure but the food is clearly home cooked and just terrific. We ordered only from the specials which were presented to us on a blackboard and had broccoli and sausage for appetizer, a pizza with ham and cheese and rocket as well as a swordfish with a delicious caper anchovy vegetable topping and roasted potatoes for a main. Every dish was terrific, the waiting staff polite and to top it all of they played Elephant Revival on the stereo. Highly recommended. View menu

I was in Cardiff on business and unfortunately, I tried this place on one of my last days in the UK, I wish I would have discovered it sooner. The restaurant was small, so unless you want to wait, I'd suggest trying to make reservations. The size of the restaurant actually added to its charm. The small size meant that you received very good service and it felt like you and your meal were really important. I can honestly say that I have never had a better Italian meal in my life. Every single thing that I ate at Cafe Citta was exceptional. My husband felt the same. He got to join me on my last leg of my business trip. His favorite dessert is tiramisu and he is very picky about it. He said tha...

Book in advance. This is a very intimate space and an unassuming little restaurant in the heart of Cardiff . It also happens to be home to some of the most scrummy pasta and pizzas I've ever tasted. Seeking solace from the rain, early evening on a Wednesday we gave this place a punt and asked for a table for 2. The place was already very busy, but the waitress said she could fit us in for an hour. We got sat at the back by the smallest kitchen I've seen outside of a Yo Sushi in train stations. And oh the smells that came from that tiny kitchen were yummy. The whole menu looked great and reasonably priced for the city centre. The Mrs went for a ricotta and rocket pizza and I went for a prawn...
