Giovanni`s Restaurant Cardiff

43 years, one legendary legacy 🇮🇹

Since first opening our doors on The Hayes in 1983, Giovanni’s has proudly become the longest-established independently owned, family-run Italian restaurant in Wales 🍝

For over four decades, we've had the privilege of serving generations of families, celebrating special occasions, creating memories and sharing authentic Italian hospitality with the people of Cardiff and beyond 🤍

Whether you're joining us for a family meal, a celebration, or simply your favourite pasta dish, we'd love to welcome you to be part of our story: https://www.giovanniscardiff.co.uk

Meeting friends in town? We’ve got the drinks covered 🍸

Whether it’s after work cocktails, pre-dinner drinks, or a weekend catch-up, Giovanni’s On The Hayes is the perfect city centre spot. Good drinks, great atmosphere, and even better company ✨

Who’s getting the first round? 👀

From the moment you’re trying to decide between pasta or pizza, to the classic “we’ll just share everything” that never quite goes to plan, it’s all part of the experience 🍝

There’s always only one starter ordered for the table, one tiramisu disappears far too quickly, and someone always insists they’re skipping dessert… until they’re not 😅

But that’s exactly why we love it - good food, good wine and even better company.

At Giovanni’s, we come together to cook fresh meals for people experiencing homelessness in our community.

We’ve seen first-hand how something as simple as a warm meal, a conversation, and a moment of kindness can make a real difference to someone going through a difficult time.

We believe more businesses can play their part; whether that’s donating surplus food, sponsoring meals, or finding ways to support local communities.

A huge thank you to our incredible staff and volunteers who make this possible 🤍

The key to our hearts ❤️

There’s always room for dessert, especially when it’s our homemade tiramisu.

A true Italian classic, and one of those dishes our guests come back for time and time again.

Visit Giovanni’s and treat yourself to something sweet.

Made with love, every single time. ❤️🍝

From the first chop to the final plate, every dish Giovanni creates is crafted with care, passion, and pride for honest, flavourful food done right.

This isn’t just cooking: it’s tradition, attention to detail, and a genuine love for what’s on the plate.

Come and taste the difference at Wales’ longest established, independent, family-run restaurant.
