Calabrisella isn’t much of a looker. With its brick effect wallpaper, budget furniture and tatty bits of paper plastered across its windows, you could easily mistake this Canton-based Italian eatery for a greasy spoon caff and give it a miss. However, if you did that then you’d be depriving yourself of some of the best Italian food in Cardiff. Whilst pizzas are the forte of the house, breakfasts, sandwiches, pastas and other daily specials feature on the menu – there were two types of calamari and a steak on offer the night we visited. To start, a whopper of a golden crumbed arancino (£2) erupted with perfectly cooked risotto (each grain still distinct), oozy cheese and meaty Bolognese. A pair of beers – a Peroni red (£2.50) and an Ichnusa (£2.50) – brought memories of holidays in Italy flooding back. Pizzas were stunning, each comprised of a golden crust and a millimetre thin base topped with perky tomato sauce and melted mozzarella. They were also the size of a car tyre. For Mrs G, a Roma (£8.50) topped with tender chicken, mushrooms and funky, creamy gorgonzola. For me, a Calabrisella (£10.90) capped with unctuous, fiery nduja sausage and sundried tomatoes with a pleasing bite.
Really reasonably priced, fresh and tasty Italian food. Casual Cafe style setting.
The arancini starter was delicious, the lasagne was fresh and a perfect size portion! The dessert was so fresh and light! The Staff were friendly and welcoming, really nice that they brought water to the table without us requesting it!
Will definitely return 😊
We ordered pizzas here today and they were really delicious. The waiting staff are attentive and friendly. Good value, would recommend.
Small but cosy feel to the place. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food served promptly.
amazing, the caprina pizza was 👨🍳🤌 i recommend if youre looking to try unusual (but good) combos of toppings. size of the pizza was insane, i couldnt finish it! definitely not complaining though
Fantastic restaurant, conveniently located near Gray street car park. Helpful and friendly staff serving outstanding food. Very clean inside with good provisions for social distancing, helping to keeping both customers and staff safe. I will visit here regularly, a very authentic taste of Italy. highly recommended, even if you're just after a coffee while browsing along Cowbridge road.
Possibly the best pizza I've ever had. The Brutela was delicious - big flavours and the thinnest crust!! Can't wait to visit Cardiff again. Service was attentive and we enjoyed the rest l relaxed atmosphere. Thank you 💕

Very good Italian cuisine. I haven't visited this place for a while. I was with a large party seated upstairs. We received very good service all evening. I can only speak for the pizza I ordered but it was large, tasty and very reasonably priced. I would say you get more pizza per £ than other restaurants I have visited recently. I ordered a 'white' pizza by accident but I do prefer the tomato base, so might want to check before ordering.
Amazing service, staff are friendly, food came out quickly.
The quality of the food was great, fresh and flavourful. The vegan options were delightful. Prices were great. And really good portion sizes. Overall a very pleasant experience, I would highly recommend this place!
