| Jamie Oliver - Cheeky Essex boy springs to mind. | | | | My only complaint is I felt there could have been |
| Personally I like the guy, always seems positive | | | | more bread with it being such a basic starter. |
| and upbeat about whatever he is involved in. He | | | | Anyway we got to the main course I decided to |
| has obviously been a big success here in the UK | | | | have the Sausage Parpadelle and my partner |
| and I think he is a positive role model. | | | | decided to go for the Prawn Linguine. |
| I am a keen cook myself and like to dabble in | | | | First impressions were good for presentation |
| cookbooks with his amongst my collection, also | | | | however once again despite ordering large I felt |
| like nigela lawson;-) | | | | cheated with the portion size, not I'm not of a |
| With all of this in mind I decided to visit Jamie's | | | | large disposition but I do like value for my money |
| Italian in Cardiff city centre whilst passing through, | | | | when I am paying this sort of money. |
| on a side note I think Cardiff is a vibrant city with | | | | The taste was ok but didn't blow me away and |
| a good atmosphere. | | | | my partner felt the same way about her chosen |
| His restaurants have all been positioned in | | | | dish, I naturally polished it off quickly and wanted |
| University cities from what I can see, as this chain | | | | more however we decided to collect the bill and |
| appeals more to younger people and I guess he | | | | move on. |
| thinks that Uni students hold all the money! | | | | I will return to try another dish in a different city |
| On entering the place is buzzing with talking and | | | | and see if it varies from place to place as I do |
| people doing things such as Pasta making etc | | | | like the environment. |

| We were seated quickly despite dropping in a on | | | | however I am yet to be convinced. |
| Saturday afternoon, the waitress was smiley and | | | | Overall I would rate it 7/10 as I could not fault |
