Lovely vibe here, with plenty of staff: busy but not overcrowded. Sunday lunch is superb. Anna, our waitress, was so engaging and genuinely interested in her job. Gluten free options were clearly explained and every effort had been made to adapt items by changing coatings rather than just 'leaving things out'. Fishcakes were tasty with mild curry sauce. The lamb roast was perfect size and cooked to perfection (rare lamb, just as it should be). Divine roast potatoes... Lemon posset dessert was tangy with British strawberries. This is a top notch restaurant in a trendy location, fabulous friendly service and very moderate prices. Will def. be back.

We booked here because they said they could do gluten and dairy free. I had the best gluten and dairy free pizza and my son also had a gluten free pizza. It was really good. For starter we had the meat board and they brought nice gluten free bread to have with it rather than breadsticks. The staff are really friendly and make sure that everything is OK. The atmosphere is warm and there is a buzz with people chatting and in the background Italian music. We will definitely be going again when we are next in Cardiff

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.

I don't usually leave reviews but they deserve one! The host is fantastic. He's always bubbly and talkative and kind. He gives recommendations for what would give with each dish and the food is always really good. We've been a couple times, had different dishes, and really enjoyed it. Good vegetarian and gluten free options.

Super busy when we went, but the staff were *EXCEPTIONAL* regardless of how stressful it must have been. As a table for 6 we were kindly warned about the wait time but were given our drinks speedily and our food came out within the time frame they gave us. It was also a dream as a coeliac! I adored the chicken club sandwich (a beast of a sandwich. good luck trying to take a bite without having to dismantle all the layers.) I highly recommend this gem. 5/5 and thank you to the girls and their amazing service. :)
