Giovanni's In Park Place

Fantastic restaurant, the food was fantastic. For a starter I had a Calamari fritti and my partner had a salmon cheesecake which was fantastic! Salmon, cream cheese on a cheesecake base. For a main I had vodka al salmone and my partner had a ragu. Everything was fantastic fast service, lovely ambience and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit if you want an Italian date night and good wine!

I had the most fantastic meal with friends here. For my starter I had the Pane all’ Aglio e Mozzarella which was very tasty, followed by one of the best Pasta Arrabiata‘s I have ever had. Desert was a creamy lemon cheesecake that was incredibly smooth and moreish, albeit a bit pricy for the portion. Giovanni came over and spoke with us all which was lovely, and the hospitality was outstanding. Giovanni and everyone at the restaurant were incredibly friendly and welcoming and gave the best service I have seen at a restaurant in years! Outstanding service and delicious food! Would very highly reccommend!

The place was nice and the staff very friendly. The food was… okay. I ordered a negroni and it had a lot of small ice cubes in it which was not a great start. The bruschetta was on a ciabatta bread and the tomatoes were way too cold. I had a salad as a main which was good and my friend had a pizza which was fine. Nothing to rave about. The staff was friendly and checked on us a couple of times.

We had a really lovely meal before our show at the New Theatre! Beautiful fresh food, presented really well. We had Sword fish and lamb cutlets, they were cooked to perfection! Really nice to visit a Traditional Italian restaurant in city centre location. The staff were really friendly and attentive, we will definitely return!

We ordered gorgeous pasta meals in Giovanni's at lunch time. The food was superb and the service was excellent. There were only a few tables taken at lunch time but the atmosphere was still good. There were pictures of all the celebrities who had eaten here and the pretty fairy lights twinkled on mirrors. I will come again when I am in Cardiff and try another meal as there was a good selection.
