This restaurant was very busy when I walked in. Dinner was served upstairs.
Starter was ok but I would have liked more salad. Bread crust was impossible to cut so had to eat with my hands.
Main was alright, lamb was delicious, but unfortunately not many potatoes or veggies.
Dessert was homemade panna cotta.
Overall nice meal less quantity than expected but with quality.
We booked for dinner whilst looking around Cardiff and the university, and arrived much earlier than our booking which was no problem when greeted by our friendly team member. We had a couple of cocktails whilst waiting for the starters which were well portioned and tasty. The main courses were some of the best pasta we’ve ever eaten and again well portioned. We had no room for dessert but did take away the special of the day - pistachio profiteroles which were amazing. Lovely staff and will be back for sure.
Update 4.11.23. food superb this evening. Waiting staff could be friendlier.
Busy Tuesday evening, almost full. Friendly service, albeit tad slow. Food nicely presented and good value.
Amazing food and amazing service. Really enjoyed my evening will definitely be returning.
Delicious meal and drinks at Elgano Italian. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable, we were Sat in the Orangery which was quiet and romantic. Our meal was top notch, tasty, served in a timely manner by friendly staff. This is our 3rd time visiting Elgano, each experience was fabulous. We will definitely be back soon.
Me and my partner came here for our 4th Anniversary. On arrival, we were welcomed in to a very cosy seating area, with good vibes and a great atmosphere. The staff are amazing, and go above and beyond to cater to your needs. We were offered a glass of water to start, which was very kind, and the food we ordered came out fast, and tasted incredible. Everything was fresh, sauce was thick, and the cheesy garlic bread was the best I've ever tasted, and I've had a lot of it! The desserts were delightful and beautifully presented, my only complaint would be that the special of the day tasted so good that it needs a permanent spot on the dessert menu! Thank you so much for an unforgettable night at Elgano, it really made our anniversary special. Compliments to the chef!
What a delicious dinner! The staff are very nice!! Will come back next time for a meal (without kids) haha 😁😁
It was spectacular.a real treat for my Birthday Girl. They made a proper fuss of her. I enjoyed it as well.
amazing place! food was spectacular, really nice presentation, perfect portions, for dessert I had the special which was pistachio profiteroles which was one of the best things I've ever had. the atmosphere was really calm and welcoming, the customer service was really good too. I had an amazing experience, best place I've ever been to!
What a find! Without doubt, for me, the best Italian restaurant I have been to. The staff are so friendly and even children are made to feel welcome. We were a party of 5 adults and a 6 year old and everyone, without exception, said how amazing their meals were. My grilled chicken breast with the Dragonella sauce was absolutely scummy, my daughter's salmon ravioli has become her number one meal and the lasagne and ravioli gorgeous. I probably would have liked more on the dessert menu but the tiramisu was lovely. We all agreed, we will be back!
Enjoyed a lovely meal here this week, we were throughly looked after by all the staff. Food was absolutely delicious.
Gorgeous setting for the restaurant - would highly recommend, we look forward to our next meal here.
Excellent food combinations and service. It was a perfect venue to catch-up with friends.
We came for dinner here on the 13th of February to celebrate an early valentine’s day.
The service was remarkably good, as was the selection of wines. In particular, i’d recommend the Gavi.
We had polpette and the calamari to start, both incredibly good.
For mains, we opted to have a pasta dish each and to share a pizza, the carbonara was authentic and the house special was exquisite.
The pistachio profiteroles finished the meal nicely and we left as very happy customers.
I’d recommend Elgano’s to anybody looking for an Italian in Cardiff, it is certainly amongst the best that we have tried.

Super cosy Italian restaurant just a couple of steps from Bute park. Excellent service and a very good variety of dishes. Top marks for the Vitello Saltimbocca. Staff were kind (and almost all Italians), and the price point is fair for what you get.
Ein sehr schönes Restaurant. Essen, Trinken und das gesamte Personal sind sehr zu empfehlen. Obwohl wir nicht reserviert hatten haben wir einen Tisch erhalten,
Dieser Tip war vom Bekannten sehr gut gewesen und wir können Elgano jedem empfehlen.
Mille grazie a tutti.
