A much-loved family-run Italian restaurant in the heart of Roath in Cardiff has announced that, 'for the time being', it will remain closed. Mamma Lina's Italian Restaurant, which also has a branch in Rogerstone, Newport, serves up "freshly prepared authentic Italian dishes", pizzas, Arancini balls and more, and prides itself on "guaranteeing a very warm welcome".
The restaurant in the Welsh capital had temporarily closed its doors to the people of Cardiff earlier in August, citing staff shortages and holiday, with the hope of reopening on Tuesday, August 30. But now, it seems their hiatus will be longer than anticipated.
Taking to its Instagram page, Mamma Linas, which is owned by Massimo Intrigila and Gianluca Pandolfi and has been open on Albany Road since 2019, wrote: "Unfortunately, our Cardiff restaurant will remain closed for the time being. You can still enjoy Mamma Lina's delicious, authentic Italian food in our Newport restaurant. We will post any updates here as soon as we can. Grazie"
