Menus were sticky and the room/tent at the back was very cold. But nicely decorated with fairy lights etc. Food average. Staff friendly.

The location is perfect, and the cozy Italian-inspired design makes it one of the greatest restaurants in Cambridge. We had the truffle risotto, and honestly, it was one of the best we have ever tasted, rich and creamy with just the right amount of truffle. The pizzas are also top-notch, made with high-quality ingredients. All Italian. The service was another highlight; the waitstaff were so friendly and attentive making sure we were happy with our choices. Overall, Limoncello is a gem! For sure one of my best places to eat!

The best Italian restaurant in Cambridge without a doubt Very cosy feeling restaurant, felt very comfortable with warm welcoming vibe, outstanding service from the staffs as they were super friendly and fast enough, kept checking on us, coming at the right time to take orders and foods arriving at the perfect time Remarkably quality of foods, loved the antipasti board, ordered truffle risotto and truffle pasta, both cooked perfectly with great flavour and seasoning, not the common dish you would find in other chain Italian restaurants Loved the dessert too, nice tiramisu, wasn’t too sweet for me hence makes a better one and coffee was great as well They sell lots of Italian products too like olive oil and cheese, definitely looking forward to come back to try different dishes

10/10 for everything. A warm day, sat outside for my Mum’s birthday, my Dad and our extended family. Service was spot on, in fact exceeded expectations. Staff always made sure we were happy, and acknowledged my mum‘s birthday celebration. The food was excellent, we shared starters. Burrata salad & truffle bruschetta, both delicious. We sampled a number of the pasta dishes, All excellent. Tiramisu to finish, but had to share it as a large portion (no complaints) . Couldn’t fault a thing. We will be back soon for my birthday 🎈

This is a gem of a restaurant! The service is quick, the ambience is wonderful and it is dog friendly! A restaurant always wins big points with me when they bring a bowl of water for our pup unprompted. I will certainly be back again in the future. 10/10

The food is nice that the pizza is great. Risotto is also amazing :) however, it was quite shocking that we were forgotten by the restaurant: we were asked to wait for around 20 minutes to be seated, as there were 2 large groups having their meals, and we were a group of 5 (with one elderly). We totally understood that the restaurant is so nice that it would always be busy. However, after almost all the diners left, and we (including the elderly) had been waiting in the rain for 30+ minutes, and we came to the entrance hoping we could be seated in the almost-empty restaurant. Sadly, we were still being ignored. It was until I had to ask again firmly if we were being forgotten (which I didn’t mean to or want to), and the staff immediately seated us within 2 minutes. Not sure why we needed to wait in the rain for 30+ minutes, and guess we should have left much earlier as we had one hungry elderly waiting with us. Just shocked and I don’t think I would recommend this restaurant at all to my friends. Hope what happened to ours was just an accident, not their standard of service.

By far the best Italian place in Cambridge I’ve visited - for their pizza and pasta. Pizza are must haves! Thin and light wood fired base and crust edges that stays crispy and not soggy despite being left out for a while. You can taste the freshness of each toppings, especially the sweetness and tanginess of their tomatoes and marina sauce. The pairing pizza base sauce of marinara and white sauces were well seasoned and sauced in the perfect amount, which compliments and balances other ingredients and toppings perfectly. We only tried one pasta dish, but it left a good impression to predict other pasta dishes on the menu would taste equally good, or even better. Mafaldine pasta was cooked al dente, and the truffle béchamel mushroom and sausage sauce coated each strand of pasta. Seasoning is on point, rich taste from the truffle and bechamel but not too heavy. We finished 2 antipasti, 3 medium sized pizza and a pasta amongst 4 of us and didn’t feel too stuffed from the carbs, and even have enough room for 2 plates of tiramisu dessert. We had the regular tiramisu and pistachio tiramisu. Pistachio one was on the sweeter side but the pistachio flavour is distinct. If only have space for 1, recommend getting the regular tiramisu if not a huge fan of sweeter-than-usual desserts. All dishes were served in decent portion sizes and ingredients were not skimmed. High recommend, definitely my go to for Italian food. Shout out to all the staff members and Andrea who treated everyone with so much friendliness, kindness and so patiently went through the menu as a first comer. Great service despite a busy night. Very presentable dishes too!

Came in for a quick lunch bite, ended up eating so much more. The lunch sandwiches were so delicious and full of flavor. The bread was amazing warm and fresh as well as the meats and cheese that were superb. We got the baked Camembert that was served on fresh ciabatta and was finger licking good. For dessert we got the tiramisu that was really good, light and full of espresso flavor. Would love to try them again for their pasta with fresh truffle for dinner on of the evenings. Great garden in the back that feels very cozy and comfortable even on a cold Cambridge day.

Quality ingredients but definitely non-Italian cuisine. Porcini risotto was soggy, overcooked and mashy. The pizza base was tasteless, topped with above-average supermarket products. Nothing special. If you have no idea about authentic Italian cuisine, please go and you will be certainly delighted. Deceptive! However, if you have any Italian experience, its terrible. The back garden, resembling a plastic greenhouse is too small and uncomfortable with furniture of poor taste. Interior vegetation, too much and bulky for such a packed place, causes flies everywhere. The service is too quick than it should, which is the reason behind the low culinary quality. The waitresses are as if in hurry in a fast food place, not letting you to think or enjoy properly, for a place where wine is served. Overpriced, uncomfortable, non-authentic Italian place.

Charging £19 for a lasagna is a bit of a joke, but if had been the mega top lasagna I wouldnt have minded paying. The tomato sauce tasted very acidic and overpowered the rest of the dish. The service was perfect, just the quality/price ratio is quite off. We shared starters and shared dessert and didnt order alcohol and we paid more than £40pp. I can think of a few places in Cambridge where I could eat a lot better for less money

Everything is closed on Mondays on Mill Road, so we discovered a beautiful Italian restaurant on the other side of the bridge. The food and service were great! The lobster ravioli and diavola pizza were delicious and well-cooked, and the pistachio tiramisu was a perfect 10/10. Looking forward to seeing you again on the 30th!

I had an exceptional dining experience at this restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Our waitress was incredibly attentive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The food was absolutely delightful, especially the bruschetta perfectly crisp with such vibrant flavors. Every dish was crafted with care, and we left thoroughly impressed. A special shoutout to, Esse, who truly elevated the experience. Esse personally brought out fresh truffle for me to taste, making sure it was exactly what I wanted before my dish was prepared. That level of care and attention is rare and truly appreciated. The service here is unmatched, and it made our night all the more memorable. Highly recommend!

We didn t set off to eat here, but our first choice seemed pretty sketchy. We d walked past this place and then returned, and am glad we did. It was fantastic. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. I ordered the spinach ravioli, but instead of the pesto sauce I had it with the beef ragu. It was perfect - the pasta was cooked perfectly and the ragu didn t overwhelm the pasta. For desert, I went with the limoncello affogato (vanilla gelato with Italian limoncello liquor). Not a pairing I would have thought of but it worked.

We did give feedback on the main with a response O, was the bread okay?. To be fair the bread was at least nice.

Absolutely loved my quattro stagioni pizza. This is my go to and it was beautifully done. Crispy crust and generous ham, olives and, most importantly, artichokes. Delicious. Lovely service and a great limoncello spritz. Ive only knocked a star off because I think this place will have to be saved for special occasions - 17.50 for a QS pizza is about £3 too much in my opinion and compared to other places.

★★★
March 21, 2024

We had a meal for four and, overall, were rather disappointed. While the food was fine, it was all rather overpriced and we had expected better. Pizzas were overpriced, and, while OK, were nothing special. The only wine under £30 was not available, and the wine we chose must have had a 400% mark up. We ended up with a bill which we would expect for a decent three course meal, when, in fact we only had four mains (pasta, risottos and a pizza,) two side salads and two desserts - all fine, but unexceptional. Dont normally post reviews like this, but felt a bit ripped off. A shame, as it looked like a great place.

We arrived really late, as we had been to the cinema. They kept our table open for us. Pizzas were lovely but we did feel a little pressured to finish.

Please go and eat here. Best pasta I have had in a very long time - including in Rome, Puglia, Naples, Milan, Capri, Florence and the Dolomites. I wanted a nice pasta meal for my mums birthday but found the options to be limited in Cambridge - it seems like most places are pizzerias, not Italian. After 45 minutes of looking at menus online, I picked Limoncello because they had a sausage and truffle pasta on the menu, two things my mum loves. I didnt have very high expectations when I walked in - it looked like local deli. But we got the sausage and truffle pasta, the pumpkin gnocchi and two nice glasses of wine and Christ alive, when the food came, I ate my words (and the pasta). It was absolutely spectacular. I want to bring the chef back to London and put him up in my spare room. Go eat their pasta. 5 stars.

Have been here once before and really loved it. Had the truffle Risotto which was absolutely fantastic albeit diminutive in portion size . Went again last night and unfortunately had a really poor experience. -We were placed outside in the cold and had to go and find the waitress after 15-20 mins without our order being taken -Ordered hot chocolates to warm up and it very quickly appeared that these were just water and instant powder, which is quite disappointing given the price. - Had the Margherita pizza for a main which might as well have been bought from the co-op over the road. The manager told us the the dough is made every 3-4days so likely frozen and reheated. Tasted fine but again hard to appreciate given the price and was left still very hungry. Fortunately we were kindly offered free limoncello shots for our troubles and our friend had the lasagna which looked and tasted absolutely brilliant. This is a super place to have pasta but we were left really underwhelmed by everything else. Ended up having some chicken goujons next door to satisfy my remaining hunger.

The food is great, and have visited a few times as a solo diner. Unfortunately on most recent visit (22/06) the service was sub par and not attentive which ruined my experience. I felt I was an inconvenience, I was not checked on when I was eating and once the waitress took my food away, was not asked if I wanted anything else and walked away before I could ask for anything- I wanted an a cocktail and dessert and was not even offered a desert menu unlike previous visits. Not sure if my treatment is anything to do with being a solo diner but fact I had to go to the counter to pay, because of the fact I was not asked for anything else is very frustrating, considering the service charge is put on. I would have ordered more but clearly you did not want my service. Please sort it out, one of the worst places I have been as a diner in Cambridge in terms of service and friendliness.

Hands down one of the best meals I ve had in Cambridge! Staff was lovely and the food was impeccable. I had the Limoncello Pesto Pizza and my friend had the Pumpkin Gnocchi - Would highly recommend both. They also accommodated food allergies. Can t can t to go back and try more and buy some goodies to take home!

The food was well below expectation. Pretty bland and oily through out. The restaurant was way too hot. We had booked for a table outside but were pushed to sit inside even though there was space outside. Friendly enough service though

Super yummy! I had the gnocchi which I loved, it reminded me of my childhood which was so nice. My friend had the vegetarian pizza which I tried and was so yummy. The drinks were also delicious and I had to order another. We also had the bruschetta and that was so delicious. We didnt have a booking so only had an hour but everything was speedy and chill that we still had a nice time! Emilia provided excellent service and helped us out with all out questions. Great time! Vegetarian options: Both the meals we had were veggie and so yummy!

It is a good concept of having an eatery and a deli together. Should be a foodie paradise. However, food is very average. Risotto was over cooked and was rice drowned in liquid. Not what I expected. In salads greens were not washed and so sand crunching was very noticeable. Pity.

Beautiful gem of a restaurant tucked away in an unsuspecting part of town. Quality ingredients are definitely used to create the items on the medium sized menu. I would recommend making a reservation.

This Italian restaurant has top products, but you dont get them on your plate! Why not chef? The antipasti mix (for a whopping 21.50) contains plain boiled ham, salami, some pieces of cheese and supermarket baguettes with some arugula leaves thrown over them. Nothing Italian about it, as we sit next to the display case with homemade pestos, olives, dried tomatoes and very Italian meats such as mortadella and nduja, which we can only look at with delight. The food is way too expensive for what you get, its better to buy something from the display to eat at home.

Always great for a delicious lunch. Great sandwiches (sandwich is an understatement), excellent house wine, and wonderful deli to recreate deli sandwich experience at home. The garden is good to eat in whatever the weather- covered and blankets provided for nippier days. Great, friendly service. Thank you.

I am so disapointed. I LOVE tiramisu, I have eaten it every week in my past 5 years of life, and i have never had a worse piece for 10 POUNDS. there was the smallest bit of BARELY cake with one drop of coffee. the thickest, most disgusting cream. the food sucked too. go elsewhere i wish i did

Not had the pleasure of having a sit down meal in here yet but when I can I always try to pop in for a latte and a ciabatta to take away. The coffee is always of excellent quality and the ciabatta is (particularly the number 3), fresh and hot everytime. The staff are always polite and attentive and everything is very reasonably priced. Cant recommend it enough 10/10.

Amazing food, lovely staff and surpringly inexpensive. A really nice evening. Sat in the back garden which is an enclosed patio with a trellis over the top. The trellis is enclosed by plastic awnings to keep the rain out and the heat in, and there are both heaters and blankets to keep you warm. It is still a little nippy but so charming with hanging sparkly lights. The food was perfect and just the right sized portions. Cost wise two of us ate starter, main and dessert plus 2 glasses of wine for £77! Pretty good considering how good the food and atmosphere where. The first night in a long time and you guys nailed it. Thanks! Vegetarian options: Multiple vegetarian dishes. 5 pasta, salads, breads, and pizza.

Absolutely adored the outside patio with heaters and blankets. I m from Florida and I m not used to this type of cold and I was quite warm out there! Great wine selection for a small restaurant with reasonable prices. My husband and I got the lasagna and the spinach ravioli and both of our meals were fantastic. The perfect portion and very flavorful. The side salad could have had more to it, but it was still satisfying. The real winner of the night was the tiramisu!! Oh my godddd. I ll fly back to England just for that. Absolutely heavenly. The service was fantastic. Friendly and intentive.

Food was great, and if you are into Italian food then it is well worth a try, but we just found that for the price we expected the food to go beyond just great and into the territory of mind blowing. Maybe we just arent into Italian food, so take this opinion with a grain of salt!
