HUGE gluten free menu and absolutely delicious. I had the steak sandwich which was so yummy and smooth. The service was incredible and the view is great if you enjoy people watching. Definitely recommend for a nice lunch in the city centre.

I went to do some shopping to the market when I found this little place where everything GLUTEN FREE!! 🤩 I was soo happy!🤗🥹 The lady was so friendly and helpful. Lots of choices! I've tried one of the Latina Street food...wow! It was very delicious.

Karen Woodall

Great choice of gluten free food, served by friendly helpful staff.

Shaun Hughes

The food was amazing. The resturant was clean, a lovely atmosphere and caters for gluten free. The staff were lovely and professional, thank you to Aron for suggesting what I could eat due to a gluten allergy. I definitely recommend this resturant

Iwan Jones

Love the gluten free cake options. Great independent business in the centre of town.

Emma Corridon

Food was decent, good gluten free options. Found it really cold inside there, we moved tables but it was still freezing

Lindsey Dyson

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.

Nicola Lowther

Great food. Fab gluten free options and didn't feel like I was missing out on any options. Friendly service. Will definitely be back.

Dawn Gwilliam

Ate here for the first time today (Saturday 22nd Feb 2025) the restaurant was clean, staff were very helpful and the Gluten Free Menu was very good. Recommend

Anh Owen

Went for a late pizza for 1, enthusiastically greeted by Amelia (vietnamese/welsh), Ilka and smiling pizzaioloa. 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.

david pope

Maddison was so lovely and very helpful with my gluten sensitivity throughout our meal, thank you! We had a great time

James Hugglestone

Absolutely fantastic service from Jorja, friendly and helpful. As a celiac it's always awkward eating out, but our order was taken with no problems. The menu was straight forward and easy to navigate. Would definitely recommend to anyone with allergies.

Matthew Greenaway

They managed to squeeze us in despite being fully booked, which I appreciate. Really good gluten free pizza (tasted like a proper pizza!). The kids buffet is good value and a nice experience.

Jordan Richards

Love this place. I'm a coeliac and feel really comfortable eating here. The food is always really tasty as well.

Jonathon Macro

I had lunch today at the Waterloo Tea, I am Gluten and Wheat free, and the staff really looked after me, explaining the menu and options and assuring me gluton free was no problem, the poached eggs I had on toast were loverly, and I even tried there organic cola which was nice as well. Looking forward to taking my wife there for something to eat,please thank the staff who were on today for there helpful and caring ways.

Matt Clee

Had a lovely lunchtime meal. As always they handled my gluten-free diet perfectly and my other half’s vegan diet. The staff were very friendly especially Dean who served us expertly. Thank you for a great meal.

Hayley Brailey

Nice chain restaurant. Staff were friendly and considering it was an event night and they were packed, they were attentive. Impressed with their allergy process, the manager took my order, they were all aware and they informed and helped me rather than gave me a massive book to look through. Super impressed they had vegan and gluten free fajitas, which were yummy. Very nice Pina Colada too. Over all a thumbs up for allergy awareness, food options, atmosphere and service. The only improvement would be to have vegan sour cream

William Carter-Humphries

Staff were all amazing and helped me figure out how to order for my first time. Food tasted amazing and will definitely be back. Helped my partner ensure they could have gluten-free food without risk of cross contamination: can’t recommend enough :)

kellie-anne Anslow

Can not recommend these guys enough!!! Been struggling to find a decent gluten free friendly place for my lunch and I have now found my hyper fixation food!! Tried quite a few off the menu now and each one is better than the next!!! Can not recommend these guys enough!!!

J Charalambous

Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free menu. Food and coffee best small cafe in Cardiff!

Christalla Bailey

My husband and I eat here regularly. I prefer gluten and dairy free food and there’s a good selection of choices on the menu. Staff are brilliant, always welcoming and attentive. Food portions are generous and we love the regular offers making it very affordable. Can’t fault Prezzo in Cardiff.

rebecca johnson

Was served by richard johnson who was very welcoming, enthusiastic about his job and very informative showing me the gluten free options for food and drink! Will 100% come again!

Lilly Fox

beautiful restaurant lovely interior!! And ok service. However as a someone with celiac disease I was incredibly disappointed with the options for food - which weren’t just greens. I was so exited as they advertise for gluten free being really good, however the options were extremely limited… when phoning up they said they can make the chips gluten free however, the waiter told me they weren’t and they don’t change the frier, so it would be cross contamination. I think it was off putting as someone who can get extremely poorly with having gluten it didn’t seem as though they knew what to do with the information of being gluten free. We were also charged for water which we didn’t ask for originally: - I would just say if your gluten free you can only eat the salad of the 2 course menu which is £19.85. - we also did get charged £70 pound for a meal that was meant to be £48. Although the food for gluten free wasn’t great. All in all the restaurant itself was beautiful and such a lovely atmosphere- and there were some really helpful waiters who took pride in helping customers. But a beautiful building and very photographic

Michael Carlson

Recently stayed at a Marriott hotel in Cardiff which was very pleasant but the breakfast experience was excellent. I am coeliac and asked Paula to help me with gluten free options. She was amazing and talked me through all the options and made sure I had everything I needed. She did it in a friendly way making me completely confident in what I was ordering. She went the extra mile. Paula is a real asset. Thank you Paula.

Clare Barber

Fantastic celiac friendly and dairy free options, everything was so tasty and perfectly cooked. Alcohol free cocktails, friendly helpful staff. Couldn't recommend more!

Katrina Stanley

Everyone was amazing and fully accommodated for my mum's various dietary requirements. The gluten free pasta was amazing!

Jane Doe

Used to be a really good selection for gluten free but I haven't been here for a while. It's much more limited and now only 2 options available. Big shame. Service was very slow even though it was very quiet. The person before us left because he'd Waited so long even though he'd paid. I ordered fries which took half an hour to come out and were cold. Won't be returning.

Optimist Prime

Amazing burgers and the gluten free option is simple, yet excellent. Service is excellent and guys who work there seem to really enjoy their work

michelle vaudin

Jacob was very helpful as I specified I was gluten intolerant and was very helpful food was lovely service is great

Claudia Mastropierro

This place used to be a literal heaven for gluten free people. I went last week and the menu has changed. The only "gluten sensitive" options are on the Vegan menu, and it's all very confusing! Our choices are limited to the Sundaes and the Waffle. No sauces for the waffle are marked as GF (or GS) so I had a very sad crumbly waffle with just ice cream on top! Definitely not going again!

F Roze

Phenomenal! Absolutely amazing restaurant. I have complex dietary restrictions (including gluten free, low fodmap and other allergies) an electric wheelchair and an assistance dog and have never felt so welcome and catered for. The whole experience was so relaxing, the service exemplary and the food out of this world. All the staff were fantastic and all the meat was mouthwatering. The only downside is that I live far too far away from it for regular visits. I could not recommend it highly enough.

Andrew Taylor

After a really stressful time looking around Cardiff for Gluten Free food, we checked out Rosa's. The staff member went above and beyond for us to ensure the meal was suitable for someone who suffers celliac disease. Recommended for a tasty meal and people who actually care about their customers.

Valerie Le Dorven

Fantastic selection of gluten and lactose free tapas

Dan Stockton

The perfect pizza chain, great food, prices and wonderful service! I’d like to mention how lovely our waiter Tai was, and a saxophonist I hear ;) also the best gluten free pizza easily

Samantha Paterson

Amazing, we had a nice meal, good selection of gluten free options.

Sally Jones

Wonderful tapas lunch with plenty of gluten free options. Staff very helpful and friendly. If I could change one thing, it would be to make the 'fish of the day' a simple dish with oil/herbs rather than in batter which excludes coeliac. We loved the Artichoke and Boquerone dishes in particular.

huisze Song

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.

Meghan Mackay

No gluten free options for food, but for cocktails this place is great. The staff are friendly and it's beautiful inside with a great location.

sarah matthews

Food was amazing! Lauren was so helpful, she helped me choose my gluten free meal.

Marc Evans

Eng. Follows below. First time we visited the cafe, on Heol Santes Mary (?Llanfair?) in the capital. A warm welcome from the staff (x1!) and the coffee is good. Today, the only gluten-free option was a type of chocolate cookie (three types of chocolate!), delightfully soft under the crunchy crust. [Lose a mark for not offering a gluten-free cake or an alternative to the all-present chocolate cookie/brownie.] Quite undecorated inside with round tables of marble or rectangular ones of smooth wood - but creating a certain atmosphere of the first cafe houses or similar ones in Europe these days.

Samir Malhotra

Decent place, good customer service and Gluten free options on draught which is unique. Would be great to have stronger options especially for IPA and stout. Gluten free pizza was nice.

Gino C Brancazio

Fantastic food and lovely staff. They always take great care with my dietary needs (coeliac - gf). Enjoyed every meal there and will be back regularly.

Nini Aravindan

Went here as a big group for dinner and Chu gave us the best service ever! He was so attentive with drinks and food making sure everything was alright which probably isn’t easy for a group of 15+. Rhi the manager was also fantastic as we had allergies on the table and she was incredible in making sure we weren’t left out. Highly recommend and great for gluten free!

Sonya Bones

We went here because the online menu has clearly labelled vegan options, which were replicated on the printed menu we were given, once seated. However, when I started to discuss which dishes were vegan with our server, he said they offer vegetarian, but not vegan food. I pointed out their key at the front of the menu that indicated veggie/vegan/gluten free options. He said he'd worked there for 3 years and nobody had ever asked for vegan food. After going to check with a chef, he returned to inform us the chef could make vegetarian dishes but couldn't guarantee that any would be vegan, despite what the menu said. We thanked him for his honesty and left without ordering. I fully support any restaurant's right to not provide dishes to suit specialist requirements but it bothers me that the menu offers apparently false reassurances of dietary options that aren't reflected by the serving staff nor the chefs.

Rhiannon Price

Such lovely staff. Our reservation (for the latest table they do) hadn't gone through, we were 15 minutes late - over running theatre- and they apologised to me that they might need to rush through the orders. They were then all chilled about choosing wines, didn't rush us at all, then custom adapted a dish for my food intolerance(gluten AND dairy free). Food was absolutely amazing. Really nice ambience. Awesome place!

Danie Cox

Lovely place. Was a bit uncertain initially because of its location but inside is aesthetically pleasing, clean and tidy. Staff were exceptional. The food, my god, so tasty. Plentiful vegan and gluten free options too. Spent £40 on 2 main meals, a side and 2 nan breads, with also alcoholic beverages. Can not beat that for value for money. Will definitely return.

maddy williams

Everything in there 100% gluten free. Staff were lovely and gave student discount

Martin Empson

Eating here as someone with coeliac disease and needing to avoid gluten was a pleasure. The manager and staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and took all the anxiety out of ordering.
