New restaurant from 'hugely talented' chef behind two top Welsh eateries coming to Cardiff

A new restaurant and bar is opening in Cardiff in the site of what was the once very popular and highly-regarded La Cuina.

Poca, which is set to open in the spring, is set to be a "small, neighbourhood, friendly eatery" and comes from the team behind popular Barry restaurant Alium (read our review of it here), which is headed up by Cardiff-born chef Antonio Simone, also known for The Humble Onion in Dinas Powys.

Simone has been described as "hugely talented" by restaurant reviewer (and son of the Queen Consort) Tom Parker Bowles. His restaurant Alium in Barry replaced the renowned Hangfire Southern Kitchen after it announced its sudden closure in 2021.
