An interesting Italian restaurant with good food and a building which is made almost completely out of glass (gifting all patrons with a fantastic view of Mumbles Bay), it's therefore hardly surprising that Verdi's is so popular! 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! read more

Verdi's - Italian Near Me - Swansea, SWA

Great coffee, great location on the sea front. As we're getting older and I have relatives who find it difficult to get around I find Verdi's is very convenient and easy to access with relatives in wheel chairs. Great to take a coffee, nice cake or a light lunch while walking them along the promenade in a wheel chair. read more

Location, location, location! The food is fine, but the view is bliss! Verdis sits right on the bay in Mumbles. Lots of natural light, Windows, and a large patio overlooking the water. The food consists of sandwiches, pastries, and pasta. It's okay, but nothing special. Who cares! With a view like this, all is good in the universe!! read more

I came here on a sunny day with my friends and it was great to sit outside and enjoy some tea/coffee while looking out on the marina. We didn't try any food, but it looked really good and the beverages were great! read more

Great location on the promenade with great views of the bay from inside and outside the cafe. Food is your average pizza and pasta affair to a reasonable standard. Fast an efficient, choose your table and then queue to order your food. Whether ordering a coffee or lunch, it doesn't take long. Service is of the non hassle variety so it's great to just and relax with a coffee. read more

Both times I have been here, it has been very busy, so I have gone around to the ice cream shop with a few tables outside there to enjoy my coffee. The ice cream shop sells water, filter coffee, and fizzy drinks in addition to the ice cream. I did have the small chocolate sundae after dinner one night and it was nice. I am not a fan of chocolate sprinkles, but everything else was nice. The small sundae has two scoops, one of vanilla and one of chocolate. There are layers of chocolate sauce and chocolate sprinkles. It is great because it is right on the pier so you get a lovely view of the bay and if you are walking along, it is a good place to stop and rest. read more

A beautifully located cafe/ice cream parlour/restaurant in Mumbles. It sits near the pier and the glass walls make it wonderfully bright, and afford splendid views over Swansea bay. The menu is a little bit expensive for what it is, but it's alright quality. What you pay for here is the incredible location. There are plenty of tables outside for when the weather is warm, so you can sit in the sun with your coffee and browse the bobbing boats or people watch. Menu is Italian, sandwiches, pizzas and pastries make up the cafe menu. A broader range in the restaurant. This is a gorgeous place to come on a sunny morning to have a latte and a teacake and read a newspaper in the sun. read more

I love Verdi's. It is an institution and even after all these years the quality is still there. A testament to any place in Mumbles is where the crowds are not on a sunny day but a grey one because it's that good to brave the chill to have it. I've been coming here for over ten years and will continue to do so. In my humble opinion the hazelnut ice cream is the best but if you go for any of the sundaes they are great too. read more

I love Verdi's. The food is lovely and they do the most wonderful salads. My husband loves their pizza. The walks around the restaurant are lovely too as you are right by the sea. read more

Verdi's is alright. The ice-cream is pretty nice (a lot of different flavours), and it's in a great area - especially if you've been for a walk down the mumbles. It's a little bit overrated - and expensive - but always enjoyable none the less. read more

Located on the Quay side with great views across Swansea Bay. Extensive range of excellent pasta dishes but poor pizza plus about 40 different ice creams read more

The location of Verdis is lovely, situated on the edge of the sea with excellent views of the Swansea bay. The building, with glass windows all the way round makes it really easy to look out at the views. The food seems to be good (I have had pasta and a sandwich) and the pastries and ice cream are amazing. You have to queue up to place your order but once you have done this then the service is swift. A downside is that, because the location is so good it can get very busy, and get a bit of a noisy, hectic feel. I enjoyed my visit to Verdis, for the ice cream and the views, but if you want a quiet afternoon coffee then this is not the place to come. read more

Verdi's enjoys a fantastic location at the end of the prom near the pier. There are tables outside with the amazing backdrop of Swansea Bay. It doesn't get much better than sitting sipping coffee on a sunny day. If the outdoor are not your thing you can sit inside this large cafe and enjoy the views through the huge windows. I've only ever had ice cream and coffee here but they do Pizzas and other italian snacks. The coffee is very good as is the ice cream. If it's cold outside a nice hot chocolate and those views is just the thing to perk up a Sunday afternoon. read more

Very popular cafe and gelateria on the promenade with great views of Swansea Bay. The menu consists of sandwiches and foccacia, pizza and pasta. It always has 3 or 4 pasta specials as well. Very busy on a sunny weekend. The food is always freshly made and well presented and the prices are reasonable. The ice cream is also very good, but it's not Joe's! read more

Verdi's - Italian Near Me - Swansea, SWA

Way too expensive. Left after looking at prices. £30 for family of 4!

When I visit Swansea twice a year, Verdi's is always high on the list of priorities. Friendly, beautiful views, lovely drinks and tea cakes, the ice cream desserts look amazing- but i've never had one. It lost a star because I would love to sit outside, but recently it has just become completely inundated with pigeons - yuck- this really puts me off. It's great to have a good long walk/cycle along the front and look forward to Verdi's at the end. read more

Th location of this cafe is superb, you can finish a great walk along the seafront with a nice coffee or an Ice cream. However, while Verdi's does provide decent food I have always thought they are more interested in getting the crowds in and out, before actually providing decent service. Obviously they never have to worry about losing business because of the superb location, and while the service is not great I still go back time and again. read more

I've eaten here several times and the food is pretty much standard but to me overpriced for what you receive. You pay for the stunning location more than anything else and ice cream wise Joe's which is a stone's throw away is far better quality. BUT the coffees and the location do make it an enjoyable place to visit every once in a while, it's just not the place I would choose for a meal. read more

The best coffee, ice cream and pasta in Swansea. Ignore the traffic, wandering pedestrians etc in Mumbles, and enjoy a great culinary experience. read more

I like leaving nice reviews, but I nee to be brutally honest about Verdi's. The location is fab as you overlook the bay right across to the university and the marina. The parking is easy and close by although you have to pay for it (not sure if that's Verdis or the Council). Inside it always seems chaotic not sure if you sit down and get served at your table or order on the way inturns out you find a table in the crowded glass conservatory-like building and then go up and order no problem if there's two of you but if you both want to see what's on offer or if there's only one of you, you have to leave you things on the table as people are fighting for a place! The food is expensive for the quality; e.g. pizza is not great for the price. On the upside they serve Joes ice cream which is always great but on a sunny day get one for a fraction of the cost from the ice cream parlour and sit on the beach! read more
