It was a Saturday night, very busy. I was alone, but I was made as welcome as if I was a table of ten. The food was extremely good to my taste and the service prompt pleasant and helpful. Front of house manager/owner? Was most charming I observed to all customers and staff alike, pulling the strings almost effortlessly and patiently. A better dining experience I have not had in a long time.

Came here for a birthday and was not disappointed. The frutti di mare pasta and calamari were very nice. Slightly disappointed in the bruschetta though. However, the Tiramisu they gave me for my birthday was quite nice even though I don’t like coffee. Overall we had a great time.

Dinner for two on a Saturday night. Great service, atmosphere and food. Arrived much earlier than planned but the restaurant manager managed to find us a table.

Recently, we had the opportunity to visit DeLuca restaurant. Although we had already eaten dinner, we fancied an evening coffee and dessert. The restaurant was pleasant, the dessert was delicious, and the coffee was excellent, but the service left much to be desired. If I had an empty restaurant like they did that evening, I’d be thrilled to have customers, even if just for coffee and dessert. Instead, the waiter made a point of telling us before taking our order that this was a restaurant, not a coffee shop. Good luck with that kind of attitude toward customers

Booked last min tickets for last night in the upstairs piano bar, and we had a blast 💃🥳. Robin the Piano guy was fantastic. Service at the bar at the start of the night was really slow, but improved by midnight. Recommended booking well in advance as we were lucky there were tickets available. Highly recommend.

Amazing service, went here for a birthday meal and the staff were so lovely in helping celebrate! The personal touch with a birthday card plus sparkler was greatly appreciated. The food was brilliant, the king prawn starter was my personal favourite. Will definitely be visiting again

If you want authentic Italian De Luca’s is the place. Great food (especially the prawn starter which was REALLY tasty), welcoming staff and an overall very enjoyable meal out

End-of-year dinner! We tried and shared almost all the starters. All delicious. The handmade pasta gave a rustic, homely feeling, though on the softer side. The sauce blended well and was not too heavy. The pizzas smelled good from the oven and over people’s table ;) For desserts, tiramisu is quite good, especially the moist lady fingers. My friend also said the cheesecake was one of the best white chocolate cheesecakes he’s ever had. Last but not least, I was a little nervous when I booked the place as we have three Italians in the group, but they reckoned the food here was fairly nice (except that Melanzane Parmigiana should not be misleadingly categorized under pasta as it does not contain pasta 😅 and that the food from the Foggia region was actually underrepresented probably due to the exoticizing and homogenizing process of commercialization, which is common for all foreign cuisines.) (Originally recommended by a friend from London H who discovered the place during her short stay.)

I love this place so my partner booked a table for 2 for my birthday. Unfortunately last night due to poor communication between a waiter and the kitchen I was served chilli which I have an intolerance too, of which we had made that very clear on ordering . I did eat a small amount of my meal before I released, obviously we complained and a different main was offered but it really put me off having anything else. Lucky I wasnt sick so it didnt spoil my whole evening but I was left with a tummy ache later. Unfortunately we probably wont go back again....I was lucky and so were the restaurant staff, if I had an allergy it may not have been the same outcome. Such a shame, I hate writing bad reviews but on this occasion, I think I am justified.

I dont know how I lived so long in Cambridge without discovering the piano bar here! Its so, so good. I kind of dont want to tell you about it because I dont want it to be sold out and then I cant go. Amazing music and such a fun sing-along atmosphere - not to be missed! Book in advance but the prices are super reasonable. Fabulous night out in Cambridge.

Best Italian food we have had outside of Italy. The starters were amazing (love the fresh bread and broccoli soup). The mains were even better, especially the homemade pasta. The deserts were divine. My small child loved the pizza. The best part is the prices are very reasonable. Everyone at our table had a starter, main, and dessert and it cost the same amount as a chain restaurant. So do your taste-buds a favor, give this place a try.

We came here on a whim, not expecting much because the prices were so reasonable. I got the pasta special and my wife got the bolognese. They both came with home made pasta. They were incredible and the portion size was perfect! I highly recommend, though not on a Friday or Saturday because they tend to be quite busy.

NEVER THROWN UP AFTER A MEAL FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE! Just threw up so hard there was blood from my throat! The evening of visiting my partner had thrown up I woke up in the middle of the night crying wanting to throw up too but hadn t. A whole night later i have and its because we both ate at this DISGUSTING restaurant! I dont know if they tampered with our food deliberately or what but i have never had food poisoning from a restaurant before! This place should be shut down!!!!

Our time in the restaurant was lovely the food was amazing, perfectly cooked and brought promptly with incredibly friendly service Our time in the bar was a slightly more mixed bag, we thoroughly enjoyed the piano although his frequent utterances that he was glad it was the last shift of the year didnt make us feel like he wanted to be there The service in the bar was also imperfect, those I was with found the man working to be quite rude and condescending, he also did not initially pour the correct measurement of drink that we had paid for That said we did have a lovely evening and would definitely consider returning the environment itself is lovely welcoming and warm

Didnt have food but we had booked the Piano Bar upstairs, for Robin The Piano Man (robinpianoman on IG). Wasnt sure what to expect...maybe something low key... formal... maybe even a bit boring... sensible...? WELL, you will not be disappointed and definitely not bored. A super fun night, so funny. Jokes about Cambridge, loads of personality and audience interaction, and a VERY big list of songs you can request. Its a very cosy little room at the top of the restaurant, up a winding wooden stairs, grand piano, lights, and a cute cocktail bar at the back, espresso martinis, bellinis, whisky. We got in late, the only seats left were right at the front on little stools, but the best seats in the house. A lemoncello shot was won by my for singing the most lyrics

Went there to enjoy a meal for one. For a restaurant the menu is very small (minimal options to choose from) it s only an A4 sheet size with half filled pizza selections at the back. The scenery of the place has a nice glass ceiling you can look through but the paintings were very small and basic. The music was just plain pop music, I was hoping more Italian vibes or classical for an Italian restaurant but I was wrong. The starter was ok, the cocktail was nothing but a red coloured gin and the main meal which was the seafood mixture with pasta was not impressive for the price it was asking. Very pricey place for little value you end up getting. Staff were nice and friendly but I wouldn t come here again, sorry.

So Ive been to de luca a few times now and each time it just gets better and better. The pizza here is the best Ive had outside of Italy. The dough is so light I ordered a second one straight after Id eaten the first. If you havent eaten here already I urge you to do so!! Fantastic!!!

Came in off the street on Fathers Day. Was warmly welcomed (having been turned away from other restaurants). Lovely atmosphere. I had mussels and my wife had calamari. The service was brilliant. The food was truly outstanding. Having just returned from holiday in Italy, the food in Da Luca was tastier than anything wed eaten there. Highly recommended. Thanks for a lovely evening.

De Luca s is a one of a kind! I have always walked past and wanted to visit but I just never gave it a second thought Well, I finally ended up booking in and it was fantastic! The Restaurent & Bar area is lovely, but the real magic is located on the roof terrace overlooking Parker s piece - it was perfect! The food was extremely scrumptious and I cannot thank Mr De Luca, himself, for putting together such an awesome venue! P.S - There is also a piano bar upstairs, so I can t wait to visit again and use this area for some drinks with friends or a celebration!

Accidents happens, it is normal. The waitress accidentally spilled the aranciata on top of my wife new bag. Not complaining about this, could happen, but I was not expected at the end to be charged the 10% for the service. Mixed bread was not fresh, pizza nothing special. Shared plate not great, cured meat not a fresh cut. The two mains were ok, please next time do not serve lasagna with rucola and balsamic vinegar. I understand that you need to please english taste as well, but there is a limit to everything!! Parking: Not available at the restaurant, but very close to one.

Had mussels and calamari as starters. Mussels were well cooked with great seasoning so was highly satisfied. Calamari could ve been smaller pieces so it fries better rather than being such a big chunky piece but the sauce was remarkable. For mains we had bolognese and daily special pasta which was meatballs. Bolognese was classic, more like home cooked style but still great flavour. Meatballs with pasta is not traditional way to eat it but still the taste was okay. However both pasta could ve been better considering they were both £16/£17 but not much difference from other Italian chain restaurant such as Zizzi or Bella Italia. Also felt like the pasta was slightly over cooked and I would ve preferred other types such as tagliatelle or linguine. I was seriously disappointed for the fact that they don t do arancini anymore as I really wanted to try it. The service was great. They were all kind and friendly while being professional. The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing, it was a hot day but they had air conditioning with full power. Upstairs rooftop was small but looks cute and the downstairs was comfy and cosy. Willing to visit again to try different menus but I really hope they will do arancini again.

We can t say anything about the food. But the staff was very kind as we discovered that they do not offer Pizza on Saturdays after 5 and let us go without charging anything, although we had reserved a table. We would like to come back and try the Pizza.

Unbelievably good service from our waiter Franco, a true customer service hero. The food was maybe four stars, but the fifth is for him. Recommend choosing the upstairs terrace for an extra pleasant atmosphere.

This independent Italian Restaurant is a little gem on the high street. We had bruschetta, squid, pizza, a linguine vongole dish (from the days special menu) and a white chocolate and lemon cheese cake between us and thoroughly enjoyed it all. Real honest, flavoursome Italian food at its very best. Only negative is that we live in Norwich so will have to wait sometime before we can revisit (but we definitely shall when were back in the area).

Piano bar is BRILLIANT. Best night out in a long time. Its a very small space, so at first it feels a bit cramped, but actually it just makes for a very personal, intense experience! I dont know if its the same pianist every time, but ours was Paulie amd he was FANTASTIC.

The piano bar was SO much fun. Big up to the aussie guy on the piano. Drinks were fairly expensive and got hot up there but worth it for the atmosphere.

The restaurant kept filling up with smoke from the chefs burning things in the middle of the restaurant. They had to keep opening the back doors to ventilate the place. I had a pizza that had bad meat on it, I was nearly sick. They go on how wonderful their pizza is and yet it was underdone and tasteless, apart from the bad meat which I managed to pick off the pizza.
