We had brunch & the food was amazing. I had a veggie breakfast and every item was hot & delicious. Same for the avo and eggs roll. The gluten free options were a stand out too, able to swap items to allow them to be served gf. I added beans to the breakfast to make it more of a 'full English' as an extra but for the price would expect these to be included. That's my only constructive feedback really as was an amazing breakfast for both dishes.

They clearly knowledgable about the menu, helpful, attentive and very efficent in their roles. My order was taken swifly, cooked and received hot within 4 and half mins. I was impress all 5 teams members checking day doting food labelling & cleaning the whole time I was there, toilet not a spect of dirt too. Plenty of colouring packs for the little ones, Vegan and Gluten free options.

Placed an order for collection, which included mainly gluten free items. One item included in the order was not gluten free, so the restaurant (specifically Ivo) contacted me by phone to check I was aware of this because he had noticed my order was mainly gluten free. I cannot thank Ivo enough for doing this, and when I arrived at the restaurant to collect my order, Ivo explained the lengths he had gone to to check this before calling me. Thank you Ivo, it really does make a difference for people who require these dietary options for medical reasons to feel like it is being taken seriously and checked. Also helps that the food was great as well! Will definitely go here again the next time we are in Cardiff!

Gluten-free (coeliac) heaven. Loved the food. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Delicious food. And we could bring our little dog. We had smoked salmon starter, pumpkin and porcine mushroom pasta (gluten-free) and gluten-free cheesecake. Fantastic.

Absolutely love Italian Way. Fantastic menu, with excellent staff happy to help with any dietary requirements ( our table had a vegan, a gluten free and a lactose intolerant). Extremely good value for money, and genuinely the best pasta dishes I've ever had in Cardiff.

Another excellent meal here. The restaurant was busy but the service was still quick & good. My teenager has just found out that they are coeliac & this was our 1st meal out since then. It was great to have confidence in the staff & food & the GF pasta with broccoli was was declared delicious as was the GF cheesecake so a big thumbs up for catering so well for coeliacs. The rest of us also loved our meals, both pizza & pasta and all the desserts were superb. I loved my salted dark chocolate brownie 👌🏻 The staff are lovely & the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended. We'll be back 👍🏻

I am well overdue writing this review which has been hanging over me as Dolce Vita went the extra, extra mile for us and hosted the best hen party for my friend! I'm sure as many people planning hens have come across it is hard booking a private venue/area to have dinner for a price per head and this can get tricky if people understandably need to pull out etc and the price goes up for everyone (and so on and so on.) Also, a base cost to hire is often very expensive!! Anyway, I called Dolce Vita to enquire that if we were to arrive late enough on a Saturday, we might be able to hire an area of the restaurant, and also asked if we could bring a drag queen to host! I thought this was a massive long shot, but nothing ventured, nothing gained! To my surprise, the lady I spoke with was very open to the idea and also seemed excited by the prospect! She agreed to a set menu price per head which included a starter and main each and shot of lemoncello and this was very reasonable. She understood that our numbers may change slightly and within reason in the run up, and we locked it all in the week before. The food and drinks were DELICIOUS! Great portions and very reasonably priced, also lots of options for our vegan and gluten free guests. Our drag host then arrived (who was AMAZING) and we did a lot of terrible dancing and even worse singing. The staff not only tolerated us but also sang and danced along for some of it which was really fun! They were also very understanding when our 'one more song' turned into 3.... 🤦‍♀️😂😂 Basically, we can't thank Dolce Vita enough for hosting such an epic night. We were looking for a drag brunch initially and I'm glad we did this instead as it was SO much better and more intimate!! Dolce Vita's commitment to working with the customer and accomodating and fun nature are a credit to them. Thank you again Dolce Vita! 😊👍❤️🍕

Best Italian restaurant in Cardiff and cooked by an Italian chef!! We had the penne norma, classic pepperoni pizza and beef lasagne. Ended with a complimentary espresso (or limoncello). Very authentic Italian, not salty and with the right balance in taste n flavour. They also have a gluten free menu. Really a hidden gem in St David's Centre.

We moved to Cowbridge Road East a few weeks ego and I need to tell you it's our favourite pizza so far. We tried 2 other places first, but Calabrisella is way better if it comes to pizza choice. I have gluten intolerance, but I felt ok after (which I always do in Italy after pizza) so from time to time I will treat myself to their pizza for sure. Highly recommend.

A small intimate restaurant. The staff are attentive and friendly, the time for the drinks and food to arrive was quick but at no time were we felt that we needed to hurry up and free up the table. And most importantly the food was delicious. One of my party required gluten free. No problem even their pizza tasted like pizza and not 'cardboard'. Can't wait to visit again.

This is my absolute favourite Italian restaurant in Cardiff! Service is amazing and more importantly for myself they cater for gluten free with pasta and pizza options and they also make their garlics bread gluten free as well. Thank you :) definitely worth more than 5*

Anne is such a lovely server, knowledgeable about allergies, friendly, made us feel super confident about ordering out as 2 of the 4 of us are coeliac. Would highly recommend pizza express as all of them in Cardiff are good with allergens but Anne is definitely a reason to visit the Bay.

We had a lovely meal at Sunny's tonight. We had veggie and a gluten free diners with us and the manager was very attentive with his advice on ordering. He recommended the garlic mushrooms and they were very did not disappoint. The Mexican garlic bread was also a highlight. Burritos and fajitas were also very tasty and we enjoyed proper homemade chips. We'll go again!

Wonderful Italian cafe! We loved it. Pizzas were excellent, and gluten-free pasta was the best I've had tasted 👌 we sat outside in the sun 🌞 Great service, although I wouldn't say it's the fastest but that's because they made my gf pasta was scratch.

My girlfriend and I had a difficult time here this evening. We were seated upstairs. Despite me putting it on the booking reservation form, the waiter had no idea about what was gluten free on the menu. He then roughly made a guess at what he didn't think contained it before we agreed he should get the allergen menu. He then came back upstairs after checking and told me he didn't bring it because it was "too complicated" and that he would just tell me what is gluten free or not. By this point, you must appreciate I couldn't put my trust 100% in him. I appreciate that you cannot guarantee something being totally gluten free, but I think even a small indication on the menu should be implemented. Accidentally eating gluten can be really dangerous for some people and I think having a greater awareness among FOH staff would go a long way. The menu formatting was difficult too. There were drinks menus on the table but no food menus- just one big one upstairs out of view of most customers. The food itself was lovely and although it took a while, we expected it to because of how busy it can get. I'm sorry to leave this review. I wanted to have a good time, but the lack of awareness around a prominent allergen in the menu is concerning.
