ZIA NINA REVIEWS

The food was amazing! The Carbonara was to die for! The garlic bread was the best I've ever had! My partner said his Lasagne was incredible! They are not shy at all with the parmigiano reggiano so it made my day . The icing on the cake was the wonderful staff service! So attentive, and I was even offered a blanket when we went to sit outside after food! Would highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back again.

This place is impeccable…on every level. Food, service, atmosphere and people. This is the best Italian food we’ve tasted and the service is second to none…They can’t do enough for you. Definitely recommended.

The Pizza Pollo was tasty and delicious. The cheese was loaded on top of the pizza and chicken and beef was juicy. Cozy place for dinner and friendly staff.

IL VECCHIO RISTORANTE REVIEWS

An authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of Bridgend. Loved this little gem! Experienced a lovely family meal here with the in-laws and the service was on point. Could not have wished for better service. They were outstanding! Started with some great cocktails and moved on to apprises and main meals. Loved the pizza, chicken parm and the sea-bream. Their lunch time menus is great value for money.

Thank you to Franco and the team for an amazing birthday lunch. The staff were incredible with our 2 young children, serving them first and interacting with them. The food was superb and can’t wait to go back. Highly recommended.

Passing through Bridgend we decided on a pizza. Found this amazing takeaway under a full restaurant. Really friendly front of house and an excellent pizza for great value! Highly recommended.

ZIZZI BRIDGEND REVIEWS

Had a lovely date night at Zizzi! The food was great and served really quickly. Our server was called Lizzie and she was so lovely. Thanks so much.

The food was amazing and the customer service was excellent. We ordered the Crispy Prosciutto Carbonara, Wagyu Royale with Burrata pizza, and the Pan-Fried Salmon & Pesto Risotto. Every dish was high-quality, especially the carbonara, which was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The desserts were just as impressive. I had the Chocolate Brownie Sundae and the Sicilian Lemon Sundae, and both were absolutely delightful.

Great place for food. Food was delicious, nice atmosphere and children friendly.
