Good location and very friendly staff! Arancini Sicilian tasted amazing! I also enjoyed the buffalo pizza very much as the dough was crispy and ingredients were very fresh. The rocket salad was also very refreshing with its honey mustard dressing. I wouldn’t order the margarita pizza again, the dough was a bit soggy comparing to the buffalo pizza.
Warm Friendly welcome, great atmosphere, good range of food & drinks available, Staff were helpful & knew their products & also offered new cocktail tasters & sought honest input, easy going vibe & layout and clean decor & rest room available, I will return when I'm back in Cardiff
Myself my parter, my sister and her partner all dined here on Friday night.
Firstly, without a booking the owner kindly managed to get us a table
The food from starters to desert was absolutely fantastic
I couldn't recommend this place anymore..
Maria the owner was always around and the young guy named Monty behind the bar was second to none, they both worked together perfectly
Both the Merlot and Sauvignon was sampled and no complaints
Would highly recommend this place!
PS, there is a sign to say try the calamari and we did - 10/10
Thank you again
Best Italian in Cardiff, must visit. Starters, main and desert are all fresh, 5/5
Lovely Italian restaurant had the £8.95 pizza and beer or soft drink the pizza was delicious and covered in topping and the chef was very friendly .My husband said it was the best pizza he had every eaten for freshness/topping/authentic tasting and believe me when I say he has eaten hundreds of pizzas
The food is amazing. The staff are wonderful and so friendly.
Excellent starters and delicious thin and crispy pizzas. Service was prompt and efficient on a busy Saturday evening. £30 a head including wine. Just watch as they do add an (optional) service charge to the bill rather than letting you choose to leave a tip.

Was there last Thursday night nice chilled out place to have a drink. Staff and dj were friendly. Will deffo be back when up cardiff again.
Not very adventurous of me but I had the Tagliatelle with cream and porcini mushrooms and loved every scrap of it.
Thank you
My partner and I stumbled across this restaurant Saturday afternoon whilst looking for lunch. We were first dubious as neither of us knew it and it was empty. What we actually stumbled upon was actually a fantastic restaurant! The food was beautiful and the chef took pride in his cooking and came to check everything was good with it. The food was faultless and we will definitely be back! Great find making the most of a few hours baby free!
Love the Diavola pizza every time 💕🍕😛😍🍕

We ate at Santa Maria last week, just before Christmas. We had a wonderful meal in a great atmosphere. Friendly, professional service. The owner Pietro even cane out and played the concertina for us! Great night! We'll be back!
Thank you!
Amazing food. A island of peace on hectic St Marys St! My pizza was perfect as was the lasagna we had. Great staff. Fred was very helpful and attentive. Plus the first table deal made it great value for money. Oh and the accordion playing owner was lovely!
Me and my friends have been regular visitors at Santa Maria for a few years now. They have the best service, so friendly & will go above and beyond for you. It’s a great location and have a nice outside area for the summer (also sheltered). The best home made Italian food & cocktails! Wi-Fi is also available here.
Diabola!! This is very good. People work here they are very nice. Sorry My English. I Will be back a third time.
Best carbonara ever!!!! What a wonderful time my mum and I had at this amazing restaurant. Really beautiful homemade food - the pizza and meatballs were also outstanding and atmospheric, authentic Italian, friendly and warm hosts. Thank you, we will come again :)
amazing staff! Great service and the owners are so amazing. They gave me a free dessert for my boyfriends birthday and sang him happy birthday as a surprise 😮 the food was amazing too! Come spend your money here people 😜💜
