Been to Cardiff visited hays snack bar food very nice staff very polite would recommend it to anyone who visits Cardiff
I go on the Hayes ever time aim in work the best place to go for food 5 star for me ❤x
Had a legendary Hayes Island snack. I didn't question the legitimacy of the use of the word 'legendary' because, by the time I'd finished it, it really was legendary
I get a cup of tea and toast most mornings before work and always get brilliant customer service. Gemma always remembers my order too which is a plus! Fab food and fab staff 😊 Xx
Great food at fish and chip bar, very friendly staff, and very good prices.
Fantastic food good portions and excellent value for money in a lovely location
Quick service (usually! ) really good bacon rolls and coffee served with a smile. No frills, very simple and straightforward
We always have lovely food here! We were especially pleased when they kindly supplied us with a jug of hot water to warm our baby's bottle, thank you �
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.
Food decent & service not bad. Only negatives are that place is pretty cramped when busy & music was so loud at times that you had to shout over your meal if you wanted a conversation, not ideal for a quiet date night
Lovely little restaurant in very convenient place. We stopped in Cardiff for some rest during our travelling and we were struggling to find something to eat late in the evening with all restaurants around refusing to serve us 1h before closing time. Only Giovanni's accepted us and we were very grateful for that after driving for over 10h. The food was very tasty and if we ever come back to Cardiff we will be having dinners here 👌
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!
Without any doubt, one of the very best restaurants in Cardiff for food, service and atmosphere. Been to both the Hayes and Park Place, with the latter being slightly more my favourite. The best steak I and my friends have ever had. The food generally is truly excellent. For context, I would rate Giovanni's much higher than the Potted Pig.
Fantastic atmosphere on Rugby match day. Highly recommended and set menu prices.
My first time to Cardiff, Wales and Giovanni's was recommended by the lovely Carrie at front desk, Hilton Cardiff. After all, it was s girls trip for my birthday (25 May) and we wanted to celebrate in class.
Giovanni's exceeded our expectations.
Friendly staff and good service.
Excellent food!
The location was easy to find on The Hayes, just 8 minutes from our Hotel.
I appreciated the atmosphere - cozy, unpretentious. And the walls are filled with some of Giovanni's famous guests over the years. Being from the Caribbean, it was special to see a photo with cricketing greats George Best and Sir Viv Richards, taken back in the day.
My only negative was the pannacotta did not rank high. The strawberry glazing could simply have been a small offering of berry compote.
Nevertheless, I highly recommend Giovanni's!
Great restaurant, first-time visit, classic Italian music playing, food was delicious and large portions, great desserts too! Lots of celebrity visits, including Princess Diana
Review from wheelchair user: Came all the way from England for the Lasagna and my word, it didn't disappoint. Quick service, great atmosphere, accommodating staff and the best Lasagna we have ever had! Not good if you hate lots of delicious cream sauce or lots of cheese. Garlic bread was three slices but I had already eaten one.
Even though there are 2 steps in, they have a ramp for wheelchair access. Please be aware, wheelchair toilet however there is a pub around the corner which has one if needed.
A lovely authentic Italian restaurant nicely placed in the centre of Cardiff!
What a great dining experience!
Upon arriving on a busy Saturday night we received a warm greeting and were promptly shown to our table.
The food and atmosphere was great, the food arrived piping hot all tasting authentic and delicious!
We had the lasagne and seafood special, with clean plates all around!
This place really has that little Italy feel factor, I do recommend!
We had lovely home cooked pre-Christmas lunch here today, thoroughly enjoyed it. Salmon fish cakes and Lasagne.
Wow... Absolutely wow. Best Italian I've ever been to if I'm honest. Food was perfect and service was amazing. Will definitely be going back when I return to Cardiff.
We were delayed getting there due to poor weather and this wasn't a problem. They advised to get there when we could and they'd have a table. The food didn't disappoint. Plenty of choice and very tasty. Good options for vegetarian diets and staff are very helpful. Would recommend!
Major thanks to Gennaro for absolutely making my night. This pizza is the closest I can get to the taste of home being 3000 miles away, and not in the direction from Italy! He treated me so well and really made me feel comfortable. I am in Cardiff for the next four years, have come many times before and will continue to come again. Can’t stop recommending this place!
