The lovely lady who served us really went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our food and had a good experience. Our breakfasts were delicious and the atmosphere was fantastic. My favourite local cafe!"

3. Bar Piazza, 15 John Frost Square, Newport

Rated 5.0 from 96 reviews

Mary S said: "My friends talk about how much they enjoy lunch at Bar Piazza; in John Frost Square so today I joined them.

"They are right... It's just so relaxed. Italians, Antonio, Rosie and staff member Jamie welcomed us with big smiles. The lunches are delicious; so reasonable and served by Rosie with care and attention to detail. The chicken in my salad and mayonnaise sandwiches was so yummy. I will definitely put it on my regular Tuesday lunch date. It was nice to be greeted so pleasantly."
