Exciting culinary news for Cardiff! Plans are underway to transform the former Little People Store in Rhiwbina into a delightful Italian deli and restaurant. If you’re a fan of authentic Italian flavours, this spot might just become your new favourite hangout. Imagine indulging in prosciutto, salami, artisan cheeses, olives, and a selection of fine wines—all sourced straight from Italy and some fantastic local producers in South Wales. David Thomas, the visionary behind this venture, is bringing over eight years of Tuscan culinary passion to our doorstep.
What makes this place even more special is the innovative approach—love the cheese or wine you’re served? You can buy it from the on-site deli to enjoy at home. Plus, there’s a hint of exciting collaborations brewing with nearby businesses and even local allotments to create a ‘farm to table’ experience.
While the plan is to open from Tuesday to Saturday, there’s something extra in store with a once-a-month, all-Italian style Sunday roast and aperitivo. Though the restaurant may not be the biggest, David is determined to make it one of the best, and we can’t wait to see this vision come to life. Keep an eye out for more updates as the application moves through the council’s consultation process! 🍝🍷
