Despite there always being a hub of activity going on at this establishment (due to the fact it's always packed), you just can't help feeling chilled out (maybe it's being so close to the sea?). They offer plenty of free newspapers and magazines for you to peruse over whilst waiting for your food, additionally you're made to feel welcome whether you're just having a coffee, ice cream or full blown meal. The food available is generally light (I'd definitely consider this place to be more of a café than a restaurant). The menu offers pizza, small pasta dishes, salads and a variety of Panini's, sandwiches and baguettes (which come with salad and crisps), all of which taste good and are well presented. It is the deserts however which are simply to die for! Sure the ice creams nice, but once you look at some of the cakes under the counter glass it'll be rather hard to resist (just don't think about the calories)! Verdi's doesn't take bookings, and even as early as March it can become very popular on the weekends. Best advice is to come as early as possible, but be prepared for a wait, which I can honestly say is well worth it!

Great to take a coffee, nice cake or a light lunch while walking them along the promenade in a wheel chair.

Overall, it's a fun experience, everything is made fresh and tastes delicious, and I've never left unhappy.

A fun place to enjoy a full British breakfast (and more I guess - but we both enjoyed the…read morebreakfasts). The place is is located a 15 minute walk from the center of town - unless it is cold, windy or rainy (never happens in Wales right?!) a very pleasant walk to enjoy the views and the fresh hour. However don't feel obliged to park in town and walk if you don't want to as there is ample parking by the pier based on our experience. The restaurant is clean and has both inside and outside seating with prompt and friendly service. A playerless piano plays music for you while you dine. Walk through a door after breakfast and there you are in an extensive amusement arcade - fun! And then there is the pier itself with its views and bracing fresh air. Another option is to climb some steps up to a cliffs above (behind the cafe) from which you can enjoy further views. Fun place to visit!!

Waiting, had time to look at the menu for the Pier Cafe (http://www.mumbles-pier.co.uk/pier/menu.pdf ) and gaze around the ornate Cafe interior - chandaliers, polished wood floors and tasteful wicker chairs. Wonderful views over Swansea Bay from the huge windows - light and airy feel inside. Cheerful little tables outside for warmer weather or hardy smokers. Plenty of choice on menu along with pretty Ice Cream & Soda Bar to lure the young ones (if they actually need any luring when ice cream is mentioned - but the Bar just makes sure). Highly recommended, especially in colder months if just paid 50p to brave the Pier extremeties (perhaps to visit the Ape Lady ) and need a warming liquid and nourishment reviver.

I can remember begging my parents to let me try a banana split back in the 60's.

Introducing Science Ice Cream - Wales' first liquid nitrogen ice cream parlour!…read more Liquid nitrogen ice cream is different, in the best possible way. As each and every serving is made right in front of your eyes, it's fresh. That means that the flavour is everything it could be. As it's frozen in seconds, it's also very smooth. That means that there's a velvety texture and a creaminess that you won't find in the tub at the bottom of your freezer. The Science: The liquid nitrogen rapidly creates miniscule ice crystals, quickly evaporating after coming into contact with the ice cream base. Liquid nitrogen boils at -196C, meaning that there won't be a trace of it left by the time you've given yourself brain freeze. I think it's safe to say if Science lessons were this much fun (and edible) I would have left school with a completely different career path.

Not only is the location wonderful and a perfect location to stop and rest while visiting the castle, but the ice cream is just downright tasty.

We felt very welcomed. It is on the pricey side, but not ridiculous.

We were beyond pleased that this restaurant popped up on our map and that there was about an hour before closing. The restaurant location is beautiful and overlooks Bracelet Bay which on this occassion was lit up by a bright full moon. We dined on: - Pasta Bolognese - Luciana Pizza - Pepperoni Passione Everything was tasty and filling. We ordered a chocolate brownie to go. Yes -- our Welsh friends cringed slightly when we did that. The food was even delicious the next day. We even made a mental note that we want to come back at a different time of day and eat there again. Not being from the area, we found everything to be reasonably priced for a pretty Italian restaurant. It was the perfect way to end a meal with new and old friends. If you are in the area, definitely check it out.
