Casanova

Cardiff


Rather than offering generic Italian dishes or the specialities of just one region, this little charmer offers a selection of authentic regional dishes from all over Italy. The result is a varied menu with half-a-dozen options for each course, including more unusual dishes such as carne e cappuccio: goat braised with savoy cabbage, white wine, herbs and tomato.
