I had high expectations for this Zio Peppino purely because far from finding the exterior hideous it actually drew me in! For those of you who maybe fairly frugal when it comes to dinning out I would seriously recommend Zio Peppino the quality of food you get for the price you pay is quite simply astonishing. The staff seem to love their jobs and the range on the menu is just fantastic. The pizza will have you needing a trolley to carry your stomach out with you and there are so many specials to choose from you are quite simply spoilt for choice, Go and experience Zio Peppino I’m sure you will not be disappointed.

An overlooked Italian restaurant for to long, the blown up images outside over do the exact character of the place. While there are a lot of Italian restaurants in the city Zio Peppino is certainly the most reasonable on price. Where else can you get a starter and main course for £7.95 and a main for £5.95 the a la carte menu offers a dizzying choice of other traditional meals that are still thrifty. Although the styling outside makes it look like a casino this authentic Italian will fill you for less with tasty bites. Check out the albany gallery next door before your meal and feel slightly more cultured for the experience.

The unreservedly hideous exterior of Albany Road’s best Italian restaurant –all mirrors and over-glossy food photography — thankfully isn’t indicative of the eating experience once indoors. Cheery waiting staff put you at ease and they certainly aren’t turning on the charm to distract attention from the menu prices either, some of the most penny-pinching set meals in the city. The pasta will turn your fork into a blur, the pizza likewise, and the wine list does zingy and quaffable on a budget to boot. A good job then that there’s a bus stop immediately outside to whisk you home, because there’s every chance you’ll be too full to walk.

Zio Peppino is yet another Italian restaurant in Cardiff. There must be hundreds of them all told! Okay, so that’s an exaggeration… but I bet they are not far off numbering somewhere near the triple figure mark! This one is a good one. It is reasonably priced, with specials at around £8.00, and the food is authentic, made with fresh ingredients and care. Lunches are even cheaper, and will cost you about the same, but with a starter included. All the Italian favourites are available including pasta and pizza, and of course, Peroni beer, but there a quite a few items on their extensive menu that you won’t see at too many other restaurants, making the place that little bit more special. Unfortunately they share the same penchant for poor quality mosaics, just like Puccini a little further down the road, but as with their competitor, all is forgiven! I would much rather this individual flair and attention to detail than the mass produced mediocrity, that is banal in the extreme, and, replicated with tedious regularity at all of the restaurant chain outlets across the globe! Ten points for trying!
