GIOVANNI'S ON THE HAYES REVIEWS

Have been to Giovannis a few times and the food has always been great. Really traditional Italian food, and great service. The restaurant on the Hayes has an authentic feel - could possibly do with a little makeover but maybe that’s the vibe that the restaurant are trying to achieve. But the food and service are fantastic.

I can see why this beautiful little restaurant has been in business over 40 years- the food is superb. Lovely atmosphere and great service completes the evening out.

Fantastic atmosphere on Rugby match day. Highly recommended and set menu prices.

ASK ITALIAN CARDIFF REVIEWS

A most enjoyable lunch at this fabulous eateries. We made the most of the last September sunshine by sitting outside bistro style which was lovely. The male server could not have done enough for us. I have a mollusc allergy which he took very seriously and disinfected the table making me feel very safe. He was empathetic, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Service was prompt and the food was incredible. The bruschetta was exceptional. Highly recommend.

The service was amazing, Callum and the other staffs on duty were really amazing. I celebrated my birthday and the services was amazing, they also wished me a happy birthday. I would gladly recommend to anyone to have a nice meal here.

Excellent experience at Ask Italian. Nika was so attentive, and accommodating with our last minute addition of garlic bread to our order to ensure it arrived with our mains. Lovely atmosphere too.

DEMIRO'S REVIEWS

The food is great with a varied selection, though the vegetable portions are small (Rack of Lamb pictured, minus a smaller carrot piece I had already eaten). The Faggots portions are generous, though. The staff are lovely and helpful, and even set a place with biscuits/treats and water for my dog. The atmosphere is great, with a live singer for entertainment (not always, so do check beforehand). I have visited many times and I'm sure I'll be back there soon.

Enjoyed a lovely meal here. Had the calamari starter and then the penne salmon. Both dishes were generous portions of tasty ingredients well cooked. Staff exceptionally friendly and welcoming.

Had an amazing lunch at Demiro's Service was excellent and the meal exquisite will definitely be returning.
