Best restaurant in the area by a country mile. I visit regularly and have struggled in the past to find a restaurant that meets my needs and standards. Brothers has proved itself up to the task and I will be returning next week! Modern, well-executed food in a stylish yet relaxed setting. The vegetable biryani was the best I've ever had, and the broccoli starter was superb - amazing flavours. My dining partner was equally happy with his dishes of choice. In addition- the seating was comfortable. Tasteful interior design. Discreet, pleasant service. Pontyclun - how lucky you are that this business has chosen you as its location.

About the restaurant

The spirit of Villaggio's can be traced back to our traditional roots in Campobasso, a humble town filled with beautiful people in Southern Italy. Pizzeria Villaggio has been run by the Palladino family since opening in 1986. Borrowing our grandparent’s secret recipes and adopting their love of good authentic food, combined with the Italian values of creating a great family atmosphere for all age groups, has contributed to our success and longevity. We have a dedicated & friendly team who are passionate about using high-quality ingredients to produce delicious Italian food.
