I really enjoyed the atmosphere of Zia Nina's, appreciating the rugged wooden tables and chairs. How many times have you been p*ed off by a wobbly table whilst attempting to enjoy a meal? The tables were adorned with glass bottles of varying dimensions as candle holders - not unusual but I prefer them to a poxy tea light candle. Service was excellent, our drinks order was taken straight away and the waiters continued to check on us (also the sign of a profitable restaurant!). Menu - wide range of pasta dishes, chicken, steak, numerous starters and side dishes that you would expect in an Italian. I had the Pollo Bosco (around £11) which was essentially a generous portion of chicken breast with a creamy white wine sauce with garlic and mushroom. The meal was also served with cubes of fried potato, green beans and mushroom. I also enjoyed the house red, which was extremely drinkable ;) although I could only have the one glass as designated driver. All in all a very pleasant evening and I would definitely return soon to try something more adventurous!

La Calabria is probably the best restaurant I've been to since arriving in the United Kingdom…read more Nestled in the countryside of central Wales, La Calabria is one of those places you don't expect to find after having had so many fair-to-midland meals. This place prides itself on serving Calabrian cuisine, which the restaurant describes as "... primarily a diet of simple fresh pastas, homegrown vegetables cooked in a myriad of ways, and meats, particularly pork." Pasta, though important to all regions of Italy, in Calabria it is "... treated with an almost reverence." If I had read this about the restaurant prior to going there, I would definitely have had a pasta dish. But I didn't, and chose one of their house specialties instead, Pollo Marsala. Ironically, none of the restaurant's specialties includes pasta. The Marsala was like none I've had in the past, and it was excellent. The chicken wasn't overwhelmed by the Marsala. Overall it was a simple meal served with roasted potatoes and green beans. On this occasion I broke down and had their dessert, trying their homemade ice cream. One scoop of hazelnut and one scoop of Nutella, which may seem redundant to the hazelnut, but there truly is a distinctive difference just like true hazelnut and Nutella. Also, I sampled the Fruits of the World, a berry ice cream. Great care is taken in presenting the meal and making each patron feel welcome. If you arrive early, they invite you to sit down in the front bar area, where you can order drink, look over the menu, order your meal and get to know those sitting next to you. Once your table is ready, your waitress escorts you to your table. I have to admit that my first choice for that night's meal was at the Daffodil Inn, which is down the road in Penrhiwllan, but they didn't have any available tables for the night. In the end, it didn't matter, because La Calabria was excellent and truly exceeded all of my expectations in every way. It is highly recommended to call La Calabria for reservations at least the morning of your dinner plans.
