Merola's

A fab evening with attentive staff, plenty of light hearted banter and a friendly family atmosphere. The food was great as was the house wine with a wide ranging menu guaranteed to please just about anyone. The staff went out of their way to made my elderly parents feel like a million dollars in a fun, friendly, non-patronising kind of way - priceless! Merola's is a little gem and highly recommended.

I have no idea why the person below has written such a bad review. He/she obviously has no idea what people want when they visit a restaurant.

A warm greeting, wonderful food and fantastic service. Reasonable prices and a lovely cosy feel to the place.

And what a ridiculous remark of "these people have obviously never tasted Italian food before" - I think you will find that most people have tried Italian food in their lifetime from a very young age! Get over your pompous self - it may not be how the food is in Italy (which that person has probably never even visited) but unless you are extremely dull, please remember this restaurant is based in Cardiff and would not have the kind of resources and ingredients you may find in Italy.

Please pay no heed to the reviews below, they are clearly posted by people who have never eaten Italian food before.....

Anyway, this is a decent enough trat for the area, not a place for an occasion. If you want really good food go elsewhere.

Merolas in my opinion is the best Italian in Cardiff. Staff are Polite and Friendly. Food is fab, especially the Italian Pepper Sausage for starters with Garlic Bread. They have a good selection on the menu from create your own pizzas to chicken dishes, pastas, Steaks etc. All for a very reasonable price.

The atmosphere is fab, especially at the weekends and Holiday Occasions.

There are not enough words to say what a fantasic meal and service you receive from this restaurant. We had a Penne All' Arrabbiata, Pollo Alla Diavola and Garlic Bread with Mozzarella Cheese as a take away, wow..this was by far the best meal we had tasted for a considerable time. We would highly recommend this establishment for value for money, taste and hospitality. Next time we will ensure there is enough time to sit in and really savour the atmosphere. This restaurant is a must to visit.
