The Casa Bianca is the capital’s newest and most inspired Italian restaurant. The proprietors have carved a very exclusive niche for their creation – a vibrant café by day and an intimate boutique ristorante by night.

During the day you can enjoy fabulous coffees, homemade cakes and mouthwatering lunches. Whether dining indoors admiring the clean lines of the tastefully contemporary decor, or enjoying a cappuccino outdoors under the shelter of the stylish awning within the heated walled courtyard, guests are made to ‘sentirsi a casa’ – feel at home. When the evening arrives, the lights are dimmed, the candles are lit and the crisp white linens adorn every table, transforming the daytime café and patisserie into an elegant boutique ristorante and pizzeria.

The restaurant does not boast a large number of seats; instead, the focus is on quality – both of the exceptional food and the outstanding friendly service. The mood and ambience is perfect, not just for an intimate meal for two but also for family gettogethers. Attention is paid to every detail and at no exorbitant cost to the customer. The Casa Bianca’s menu does, however, boast a first-class array of dishes, which comprises not only modern twists and traditional choices, but also offers seasonal delights to spoil the most discerning guest. So whether you start with the sweet potato and pumpkin soup, or the tantalising pollo e funghi risotto, your tastebuds are in for a real treat. Using market-fresh local ingredients and organic pastas, the Casa Bianca’s authentic Italian menu is made even more authentic with the addition of the well-chosen options on their traditional pizzeria menu. The dough is homemade, the pizzas are light and incredibly tasty, and just as with all their dishes, you can taste every ingredient as it touches your palate. Then there are the desserts, which are all homemade, from the tiramisu to the limoncello cake.

Your dining decisions might be difficult here, due to the choice of tempting dishes on offer, but luckily, the Casa Bianca’s renowned head chef Nazaro Zaccariello is on hand to talk you through his culinary creations. He is also available to discuss any special requirements, as all the food is cooked fresh and can be adapted to your tastes or dietary needs.

Couple the great food with a commitment to outstanding service, and it is easy to see why Casa Bianca is fast becoming the most sought-after Italian restaurant in the capital of Wales.
