Giovanni's On The Hayes - Cardiff

We chose to dine at this restaurant based on the fantastic service from the maitre d', who made us feel like valued guests despite it being our first visit. We were thrilled with our decision as we had an absolutely wonderful...

I have visited this restaurant three times in the past few months. The food and service are excellent, and the prices are great for the quality. My only small complaint is the high noise level, with the music system being slightly overwhelming at times.

The restaurant is beautiful with a great atmosphere. The staff and manager were very friendly and the food was delicious! We will definitely be back soon. Thank you, Genaro!

I was at the weekend in cardiff and tried this place with my family. it was humiliating to say at least. we called the same morning to secure a table for an early evening meal, everything in order that started to scare as soon as we arrived....The door personnel I learned later to be the manager seemed quite uninterested by us, and if he had built up his mind, showed us to a table without asking if we had booked or not, luckily there was no place for us. the waiter, inconspicuous, also had a similar attitude as the manager. the food took minutes to come to me, it was already clear that eating was precooked. I had pasta with crabs. I've paid for it, so I expected I've crawled white. to my shock I was served with a mountain of stale pasta with brown krabbe. Perhaps they thought no one could say the difference, but that simply meant that the dish was rough overpriced, and unfortunately not even the sauce and pasta were salty. my wife had what we thought to be a very simple dish for an Italian restorer, spagbo, but even that was drowning in the sauce and it was a lot overcrowded. the wee ourselves was ok, but also served badly. After we all gave up on our tellers, I asked after the check, visibly unsatisfied, as the children were still hungry. the bill quickly arrived and the staff did not have to check if there was something wrong, although our food was still on the table, almost untouched. we went fast and went somewhere else to eat, fortunately we found a nice place and saved the evening. I decided to make without a scene for my children, so I finally paid the full price, but please beware, personal is involuntary and best evade, most dishes are bad and overpriced. I know for an actual, there are much better choices for Italian restaurant in cardiff. next time I will read the reviews more carefully.

The service is honestly very good, and u get to know the owner personally, he could annoy them a bit with struggling about his ex-wife in italy, but always brings them gloomy and prosecco free. fantastic
