This is a really low key little place that just serves good food. The calamari was tender and fresh, though I would have liked it cooked a little longer. My partner had the arrancini which were a good portion and very tasty. I ordered the pasta Norma as a main. It was not what I had in Sicily but it was delicious. The pasta with prawns was full of garlic and equally delicious.

I am writing this as someone who has ocd when it comes to food kitchen/ hygiene, I'm very fussy when it comes to places I eat. La Vita is clean and well organised as are all of the staff. I have eaten many times at this family run restaurant, the food is of outstanding freshness and quality, the staff are very friendly and helpful, La Vita is always busy with a relaxed atmosphere and happy vibe. You can watch your food being freshly prepared and cooked as the kitchen is in view of the tables. In my opinion the food here is to die for and I would eat here all the time if I could afford it! HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!

Loved everything about this evening, I flew back from Spain today and went out for food with a friend and this was the perfect place. We shared bruschetta, got the two different prawn pasta dishes and then had an ice cream for the walk home. Everything tasted so good we had to get a cheesecake to take back to our roommate. You pay for what you get here with both portion and taste. Definitely going back for a pizza night!

My little girl and I attended La Dolce Vita this afternoon and loved it, staff were brilliant and the food was lovely, they were very friendly and made myself and my 3 year old feel very welcome and looked after. I had a Pizza and my little one had the Children's deal, juice, pasta and ice cream brilliant value for £7.50. Will be back, thanks guys

4 stars. Medium price range. Limited but varied menu for adults and a kids menu.food tasted great we all enjoyed every course. Clean tables, great atmosphere, warm welcome from staff. Well lit, great range of desserts with an inventive twist. Staff exceptionally nice and friendly. Would have been 5 stars but parking non existent and limited in surrounding streets. It was really loud in there, we found it difficult to hear each other talking. No vegan option, struggled to find milk free items. One table had a dog which was permitted to wander around, which as a non dog lover I found uncomfortable.

Good food. Fantastic service + atmosphere. Great prices. Swordfish pasta in fish stock is a must-try. Great combination of seafood flavour and cherry tomatos. They have lunch hour specials on weekdays from 12-2pm. £10 for 2 course, £13 for 3 course.

Wow!! What a little gem. Staff fabulous & service excellent along with the food. Window seat for 6 was the icing on the cake after a 2 hour request for a possible table reservation … thank you

The food is lovely the service is ok. The waitress Chloe was so lovely and so sweet! She apologised and sorted everything for us as there was a slight issue🤗 only losing a star as the manager is so rude and disrespectful, which is a shame as the food is great and our waitress was amazing 🤩

Excellent service and cool venue. Great pizzas and pastas that clearly made from scratch useing the best Italian ingredients, must be real Italian owners? 🤷 Great menu selection with specials on offer, I had the calamari to start and it was light, yet crispy and not oily but so juicy still, very well cooked. Then Italian sausage pizza for main and honestly so many toppings, nice to have a pizza that's not stingy with my toppings. Cocktails made with love and happy hour on too 5-7, so cheaper than thought when bill came, luckily as the espresso martinis so tasty I had a few in end🤣. Highly recommend the espresso martini made by soph. 👍👍👍

Coming back to La Dolce Vita was like visiting an old friend. I moved away from Cardiff 6 years ago, La Vita, as it was then, had just been opened by Marco a couple of years earlier, & I remember thinking then it was a bit special, and it still is. It's a snug place with lively atmosphere, & I could believe again like I'm abroad in an authentic Italian. The portion sizes are really generous, Andy's calzone was huge as you can see, he had calamari to start with garlic aioli, which was soft and yummy. I had a single portion of the Zuppa di pesce to start, with a side of chips (fries) like Mum makes, which were lovely. The single portion Zuppa was full of seafood in a rich tomato sauce & big, I could have shared it. My Etna pizza was fab, lovely thin base, so moreish, despite the big starter, I couldn't stop eating it. Several glasses of wine & choc dessert later we left happily sated. The service was great, our waiter Tim was fab, as were the other two people serving, really responsive to requests for extras like vinegar. All reasonably priced, it was just lovely to go back. While I live in Swansea, I will definitely be taking my wife here when next in Cardiff, as it's better than any Italian in Swansea I've eaten in.
