Cicchetti: Reviews & Ratings
5 Stars – Our Local Favourite! We come to Cicchetti in Radyr very often as we live locally, and it never disappoints. The food is always amazing – fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The staff are absolutely spot on: friendly, quick, and always make us feel welcome. The service is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and relaxed. We’re lucky to have such a fantastic place right on our doorstep! Thank you very much!
One of my favourite places to go. Gluten free options great. Please sort out chips to be gluten free returning in a couple of weeks
Came for dinner, reserved a table the day before (reservations are recommended I would say because it can get busy). The food was fantastic, the staff were very friendly and the decor was lovely. The only thing I would say is the tables are quite close together, but the restaurant overall isn’t huge so it’s clear to see why they’ve done it to fit more people in (I don’t blame them!). I would highly recommend a visit, book in advance!
Really great place for Italian food. We had a good time here. The service was good, helping us with allergy information. I had a nice lasagne, the side salad was really generous, great French fries. Mum mum enjoyed her salmon, and my father really liked his chicken with cream mushroom dish. It's definitely worth visiting. We will be back if down that way again to try some more of the menu.
A friend of ours, Antonio is the head chef there and we thought to go and visit him. It's about 20 minutes away from Cardiff city centre in Radyr. We were greeted by Chelsie, who served us most of the time we were there. Very polite, professional and courteous with all of the guests whether they came to take away or dining in. It's very much of a local restaurant and bar, where you know all the locals by name. Food was amazing and if we're in Cardiff again, will make sure to visit.
Brilliant evening food was so lovely will be back a d the chef also made the best Frutti De Mare ever
Very satisfying food. We enjoyed a couple of plates of pasta here. We really liked the atmosphere of the place and everything was better than expected, much nicer than a ‘standard italian’
The food was really good and reasonably priced. Had a nice bottle of wine for 20. Had the Parma ham and salami pizza which was just how I like it. Amazing crust. Tried some of the sea bass also and lasagne which were all up to the same standard!
