About the restaurant

The spirit of Pizzeria Villaggio can be traced back to our traditional roots in Campobasso. A humble town filled with beautiful people in Southern Italy. Pizzeria Villaggio has been run by the Palladino family for the past 35 years. Borrowing our grandparent's recipes and adopting their love of good simple food combined with the Italian/Welsh values of creating a great family atmosphere, for all age groups has attributed to our success and longevity. In our pizzeria, there is a great range of carefully selected pizza and pasta dishes. We also run a daily specials menu that uses the finest, locally sourced, seasonal ingredients.

Excellent quality and presentation of food. Service was outstanding, high standards, waited until everyone had finished eating before clearing plates. Sat in Conservatory which was lovely. Variety and choice of food was also excellent. It was a birthday celebration, candle was placed in dessert and complimentary drink given. Definitely will return!!

About the restaurant

Natalie and her team of chefs pride themselves on the taste and quality of the food from our kitchens. We use fresh, local ingredients whenever possible, offering an extensive variety of meals and snacks. See our seasonal menu.

It's good, honest, home-cooked, traditional fare of the kind most of us love to eat but that's now so often missing from the menus of many fancy restaurants.

For your special occasions or get togethers you can book exclusive use of our separate Dining Room where we can accommodate up to 30 people for a sit-down meal.

Dogs are allowed in our top bar so you are able to enjoy a meal and a drink or two with your pet. You can also sit outside in our beautiful garden anytime of the year, we have plenty of outdoor seating with patio heaters.

About the restaurant

Pho Cardiff is a healthy Vietnamese restaurant with loads of vegan and gluten free options. We specialise in pho, the Vietnamese noodle soup, and also serve delicious curries, rice dishes, wok-fried noodles and healthy salads, too. We also have loads of starters that are perfect for sharing with friends and family. Over a third of our menu is vegan, and nearly all of it is gluten-free, so we are a great destination for people who follow those particular diets. We are accredited by Coeliac UK. Aside from our lovely food we offer a brilliant range of healthy juices, as well as delicious wine and beer, and a fantastic cocktail menu too. If you're unable to dine-in, you can click & collect your order, or find us on Deliveroo. We look forward to welcoming you!

Old building with colourful interiors you wish you had in your house but aren’t quite brave enough for? Check and check. We’ve brought the classic Bill’s formula to Cardiff’s Mermaid Bay. Find us in the Pilotage Building, just follow your nose and the sound of clinking glasses.

Busy Saturday lunch time. Food was great. Service was polite and prompt. My only issue was our table was near the door and very cold. Other than that, everything was great.

My husband and myself ordered the pork dish, for the price we paid we didn't expect the meat to be tuff it looked like it had been hammered flat with a tenderizing hammer which didn't have the desired effect. The menu also mentioned that the dish came with green vegetables, my husband was expecting a separate terrain of these vegetables because they were not visible on the plate he happened to stumbled across them whilst trying to saw his way through the pork. We didn't want to complain but probably in hindsight perhaps we should have the rest of the meal the starter the chips and everything else was absolutely beautiful but unfortunately the pork just let you down.
