once again I had a fabulous take away from Merola's. I have been having take away's from there for years. wish I could get there more often.

Old school quality and service. From the moment you open the side door and step in you know from the smell of delicious food it’s going to be good. They look after you like a long lost friend, the menu is vast and the kitchen...works double time to get it all out as the place was full to bursting. Starters of garlic bread with cheese and a prawn cocktail. The tiger bread was toasted in garlic butter and a layer of cheese is added, how something so simple can taste so good. The prawn cocktail was tasty and plentiful. Mains of T bone steaks muscles and pasta were all amazing and so good. We were so full no chance to try desserts so we just settled for the bill and went home happy.More

Fantastic food! The host was amazing. We will definitely be coming back. It was a perfect ending to our weekend. Thank you for having us.

My family and I have visited Merolas for years. The service is first class, the food always well prepared and presented. It's honest to goodness original Italian food, and it's always delish. The service is quick, there's no "hovering" waiting staff, and the prices are...very reasonable. I've recommended the restaurant to loads of people over the years, and still do. As I said, probably the best Italian restaurant in Cardiff, for real Italian family food.More

I booked a meal for myself and three friends at Merola,s restaurant. We all chose our meals but while the food was being prepared I became unwell. The manager I believe it was Sylvia offered to pack up all our meals including the wine and...then drove me back to the place I was staying. She was so kind and went over and beyond what I expected. I have to say the food was really good. Such a shame we did not get to experience the restaurant. Amazing food outstanding service. Hopefully see you next time we visit Cardiff.More

I went to Merolas on a saturday evening for a family meal to celebrate a sister's birthday. I would honestly describe it as a gem of a place. It's a small, cosy and very welcoming restaurant offering great food at reasonable prices. The lady host...(I think called Sylvia) was lovely and made us feel very welcome. My first visit but defintely not my lastMore
