Really delicious! Crab linguine is our favorite! The best!

This Italian ran, Italian restaurant, with a cozy feel has a great atmosphere. The fact that it’s a small local business adds to the cozy feel. The food is great and portions are big with even enough to take away. Lots of alcohol options. They cater to gluten free, vegetarians and vegans. Would recommend.Vegetarian options: Vegan pizza available and bruschetta

Authentic, delicious food done the proper Italian way. We came for lunch and were looked after by Massimo who’s the patron chef who made us feel as if we were regulars despite the fact that this was our first visit. Looking forward to our next visit in Cardiff and this restaurant is not to be missed when you’re there!Grazie mille, Massimo!

Autistic couple with sensory difficulties. We were a bit worried about the lighting from the photo's which seemed very bright, bit actually it was much dimmer in reality. Excellent menu choice, beautifully cooked food and relaxing atmosphere. Music wasn't too loud, added to the atmosphere. Ate here last night for my birthday, will definately be going back.Vegetarian options: A small selection of very good vegetarian options

Had a lunch with my daughter, granddaughter & friends as a further together to celebrate my birthday which was the week before! Food was delicious as always & we all had a lovely time the restaurant made it special by giving me a celebratory glass of Processco. Can't wait until we go again!!!

Nice fresh pasta with decent seafood sauce and very good service. However, the vegetarian options minimal - none on daily specials. Affumigato with cold light brown watery liquid that didn't pass for espresso at any standard. Not adequately compensated by two extra ice-cream scoops.Price is too high not to get this right, and when I mentioned my comments weren't acted on or taken seriously . Shame as I liked this place on previous visits for its authentic Italian style
Wow wow wow...... this place gets better every time I visit. Haven't been for a few months but treated ourselves on the weekend and I still think it is a fantastic place with amazing food and fabulous atmosphere. The Arancini was even better than I had in Sorrento itself, the lamb ragu was fabulous and the tiramisu was mouth watering. As always the staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Well done we had an amazing evening.

Really disappointed. Sent three plates of calamari back as very chewy and quite tasteless.

I would describe Giardini di Sorrento as a cosy down to earth Italian.To start we ordered Pane Aglio e Mozzarella. Upon its arrival we were presented with a plate of four squares of soft lightly toasted ciabatta bread. This was generously doused in garlic, olive oil and mozzarella cheese. You will see from the picture this was served with no thrills. It was simply placed on a thin bed of rocket. It didn’t need anything else, it delivered what was expected in terms of flavour.For mains we had:Paccheri pasta with creamy sauce mixed with pancetta and walnuts. This was definitely the star of the show.Risotto with tomato sauce, n’duja, burrata topped with one leaf of basil.This dish was certainly not for faint hearted. The n’duja added a right kick to the dish which the burrata struggled to temper. It was difficult to focus on any other flavours as they were disguised by the spicy meat. The dish would have benefited from more burrata and basil. That being said the risotto rice was cooked perfectly.Our chosen bottle for this meal was a Colle Al Vento Primitivo di Manduria. This was a lush, dark berry fruity full-bodied red and was perfect with Italian food.A relaxed and pleasant evening, with lovely food.
