About Us
THE DREAM THAT BECAME A DAILY RITUAL
After years of working hard for someone else’s dream, when you feel it’s time to build your own.
That’s where DNC BAR began — from a desire to create something truly authentic, and to share our passion with the people around us.
After more than ten years of experience in Italian and international restaurants and hotels, we decided to bring to Cardiff a different idea of hospitality:
not just another bar, but "a small embassy of the real Italian Aperitivo".
A place where every gesture, every aroma and every glass raised in the air means one thing:
"making every guest feel at home — even far from home."
ITALIAN HOSPITALITY IS IN OUR DNA
For us, hospitality isn’t a job — it’s who we are.
Even after many years in the UK, our warmth, care and passion remain unmistakably Italian.
You won’t find impersonal service or copy-paste cocktails here.
Every drink is treated like a one-of-a-kind creation, crafted with precision and meaning — because every cocktail tells a story.
Sit at the bar, and you’ll never be “just another customer.”
We will learn your name, your story, and make you feel like part of the family.
Because "DNC Bar isn’t a place you visit — it’s a place you live."
NOT A TREND — AN EXPERIENCE
In a city full of trendy venues, we chose authenticity.
While others chase fashion, every drink, every board and every Italian tune here invites you to slow down, smile and reconnect with what truly matters.
An elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, where time flows at the right rhythm, the lights soften, and every detail whispers the same message:
You’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
A REFLECTION OF THE ITALY WE LOVE
Our dream is simple: to create something that’s recognised for what it truly is —
"an authentic Italian experience in the heart of Cardiff."
A place where flavour, warmth and culture meet every day.
Because real quality — when it comes from the heart — knows no borders.
“The real Italian Aperitivo in the heart of Cardiff.”
Not just our motto. Our promise.
