Excellent! What a treasure of a find! We had an impromptu mid-week dinner in this restaurant and we were blown away by how fantastic it was.
We received a warm welcome from staff and the place had a lovely atmosphere. It’s clean and bright restaurant to eat in, and the menu range is superb!
I’m a real foodie - I love good quality ingredients, authentic cooking and great flavours, so I was in ‘my happy place’ when we found il Giglio.
Great to see lots of fresh fish and seafood options on the menu - something that’s rare in Cardiff these days. I could have picked from several great fish dishes, but on this occasion had the ox cheek pasta; my partner had sea bass ravioli. We had plenty of beautiful wine which went well with our food choices. We also had tiramisu and coffees to finish. I rarely drink coffee, but the decaf cappuccino was so good, I will be having it again.
I would highly recommend il Giglio!
It’s going on my top 20 places to eat in Cardiff. :o)
Well done il Giglio! Great...
Read moreOur usual "go to" place for an Italian meal is Café Chitta but it is very difficult to get through to book a table so my search led me to il giglio. It defenitely did not disappoint. My son and I had an excellent meal. The aranchini, pizza,Salmon got top marks and the Trimisu was among the best I have tasted. Will definitely visit again. Service was efficient and friendly and I was given good advice about the menu. What sightly spoilt the evening were a couple of kids creating quite a ruckus unchecked by their parents. One of them did apologise at the end...
