Stazione in Cambridge

I would give 10 stars but Google wont cooperate. The food and atmosphere were great. I would definitely suggest reservations, though they arent required.

I ve been coming here for over the last ten years and have always had the most incredible food and wonderful service. I ll be coming here for years and years to come !

We went in for an early evening meal on an exceptionally quiet night. The service was excellent, the food first-class and the atmosphere just right. We would thoroughly recommend this place.

Good food. Reasonable price. Restaurant in the basement. However, guests who want to sit outdoors under the roof of the restaurant can still accommodate them in the area in front of the gate to the basement.

This is a very friendly and welcoming place to eat the staff get a 10/10

italian restaurant? no way

Went to Cambridge for a friends 50th and found this restaurant have to say amazing food and great service/banter from the owner guy. The side bread and olives we lovely too! Would highly recommend if in the town.

We had our wedding reception here and Ab and the staff were great. Everything was just what we wanted.

Happy with the food. Thank you

We stayed in Cambridge with some friends and had breakfast at Stazione Restaurant. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We dined in the outside seating area which was very pleasant. Toilet facilities were inside the restaurant and were very clean. The food was very good and plentiful all severs with a smile and a hot cup of tea. Would recommend and certainly revisit in our next trip to Cambridge.

Delicious pasta dishes, carbonara and bolognese ave. A magnificent salad. Really adorable and charming welcome at a time when everything was closing. A great experience

Lovely evening meal. Staff were very friendly and caring.

Good quality, good prices

Absolutely LOVE stazione! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is perfect, and the team put their heart into what they do. Would highly recommend.

What can I say cant fault this restaurant. A lovely dining experience, the food the staff the ambiance we left very satisfied.

best place to eat in cambridge, excellent service and excellent food

Thank you for making best English Breakfast in Cambridge

Very nice food. Very nice staff

Lovely venue great food and very hospitable staff.

In the letter they already say that the minimum to pay by card is £40. With that Im starting to get suspicious! And coincidentally, when we asked for the bill, and we were alone in the restaurant, the dataphone didnt work!!! A great coincidence, or is it that they showed off their great fortune-telling skills, since they told us before trying it!! But the boss had everything under control! Coincidentally, you have a cashier right above, to which the boss accompanies you without any problem!! Honestly, I think they have very rehearsed the act!

Read the small print on the menu if you want to pay with a card, wont accept anything except cash if you spend less than £40. Mediocre food.

First time here and I can t stop thinking about the delicious flavours, the food was incredible! The staff were extremely friendly, with amazing customer service. I can t recommend this place enough! Everything was 10000/10 (if I could give more stars I would!)

Took a trip to Cambridge today and came across this wonderful Gem of a restaurant. Truly wonderful food with a warm friendly family run atmosphere.

Food always delicious .

Stazione is our go-to restaurant in Cambridge. The food is always delicious, generously portioned and full of authentic Italian flavour. We love the ambience and the chats with the owner, Ab and his lovely team. Had a fabulous lasagne there yesterday, and my husband really enjoyed his carbonara.

great food and accommodating to our group!

Amazeballs

Very excellent meal! Could only be improved by a jazz saxophonist..!

Pizza was floorless

Such a respectful, accommodating staff and great portions. Student deal is an absolute steal given the quality you get. If you re ever in Cambridge, please please come here!

Good menu - not a pizza palace like most of the other Italian restaurants in Cambridge appear to be. cannot say anything bto add to all the stars. Kid-friendliness: Menu seemed to cater for kids

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Today we had the best Swordfish weve eaten in this country. Service is first rate and the owner makes everyone feel special. We will definitely return again soon.

Had a delicious lunch at Stazione today. The best swordfish Ive ever had in UK. Friendly and efficient service, I would definitely recommend.

Had a fantastic lunch today with friends. Swordfish and Sea-bream are out of this world as well as Seafood Risotto . Owner was extremely accommodating Food

My wife and I visited on a Monday evening. We were given the option of eating outside, but chose to go in the very nice basement main restaurant. Service was very prompt, from friendly staff, nice food with good sized portions. I can recommend the wonderfully tendet swordfish, and the delicate homemade tiramisu. So good that well be straight back tomorrow.

Fabulous lunch last weekend. Great atmosphere. Amazing staff. Such tasty food. Highly recommend

Pasta and Reviolii too good and flavourful- Best in Cambridge

Great little find in Cambridge! Beef & Veal Ravioli was amazing, as was the service. Will make sure I visit again.

Recently dined here after living in Cambridge for 5 years and never been! We were searching high and low for somewhere to eat on a Friday night and stumbled here with our party of 7. We were welcomed with excitement and smiles, immediately seated and sorted with drinks and starters. The food was AMAZING. You can 100% tell the food is homemade and made well. I enjoyed the salmon, it was a generous portion which you don t often get around Cambridge. My partner had the spaghetti bolognaise which again, was amazing. The risotto was also lovely and the rest of the party had the pizza s which, clean plates tells me everyone loved that s too! We will 100% be back for more, especially in the summer!!

Kid-friendliness: Owner is very kind and respectful person Food

Faultless service from the owner Ab and his team. This was our second visit to we have been to this hidden gem. The food was just as good as the first time and they are very helpful with gluten free options. I highly recommend the spaghetti bolognaise.

You cant eat it, its unhealthy, expensive and they scam everyone with their card payment clauses and if it has gluten dont eat there because they have a lack of control over the dishes and also 4 euros more per dish

They have overcharged us for gluten-free food, and a high price for service. I do not recommend it.

Been here twice and each time has been great. Took my girlfriend here and the staff were kind and attentive and the food was good, owner was very sincere. We especially liked the lasagna. Don t know why there are so many one star reviews, seems like someone s trying to review bomb it. There s really nothing wrong with this place. Maybe it s because of the service charge? Better than US tips these days anyhow.

Such an amazing atmosphere and food as well as lovely staff. I definitely recommend anyone in Cambridge to go for a meal. I will be returning soon!

Great relaxing atmosphere the food is fantastic tastes amazing. First time i have been here during a short cambridge visit and it is well worth it. Food is cooked to perfection and i am very impressed. I got the started picture forgot to take a picture of the main. I recommend the lasagne for main and bruchetta as a starter. Ab is a great host and cares about his customers, friendly, talkative and good company.

We went for a birthday meal and it was a really lovely restaurant, we would definitely come back again!

Wouldnt go here if it was the last place on earth. Avoid like the plague. Owner is awful, if you ask around many people will tell you about his arrogance and discrimination.

Terrible service, rude.

Great service, lovely waiter!

What an amazing hidden gem of cambridge, delicious food for a very good price! (£10 for a student meal). The owner was so lovely and friendly, with quick service.

Awful, disgusting.

Nice Italian food. Excellent service, we really enjoyed our dinner here. Food

Lovely food & good price. Staff were very friendly, getting us a seat without and helped celebrate a birthday by putting a candle in dessert!

Great food. Great service. Great vibes. Very inconspicuous -- in a good way. Just make sure your order is over £40 if you plan on using your card. Food : 5/5

I really enjoyed my lunch, this was fine for me a very pleasant atmosphere for lunch, I will definitely do this again soon

I visited Stazione last night and it was a last minute decision, yet my best decision! The staff were super friendly and kind. They were happy to make small adjustments for me and my friend. The food was also amazing with quality service. Would definitely recommend if visiting Cambridge or already live there :) Food

A wonderful hidden gem. We found Stazione on a quiet February Monday evening. We werent sure what to expect as we descended the stairs, but we were met with a very warm welcome. The waiter was friendly and couldnt do enough for us, even offering to go to the Tesco opposite to get drinks that he didnt have on the menu. We ordered carbonara, and the marinated lamb chops. These came with two free sides of home made chips and a salad (because were quiet tonight) Both mains were delicious. With the carbonara on par with the dishes my Italian relatives have made for me. While we waited for our mains the waiter returned with a plate of warm bread, olives and dip. Again on the house. You just dont get that kind of service in a chain restaurant. We had the home made tiramisu for dessert which was decent. Stazione is definitely recommended.

Specially orders some Tomahawk Steaks for our staff party and they not only came PERECTLY cooked but the owner was so attentive to our table and really gave us exceptional service. The food was elite and the atmosphere and staff were fantastic.

Amazing food, the restaurant itself looks astonishing. The service was very attentive and friendly.

Stazione is one of the best places in Cambridge to eat , went there for a work party and the food was so good, the manager is so lovely and helped me so much with my food allergies. 100% recommend and you will not leave hungry

Had a pre theatre meal and Ab Attia looked after us so well. He even went to Tesco to get some J2O for my daugther. He was very friendly and happy. Food was all home cooked definitely worth a visit and we will be back. Thank you Ab

Very friendly, fast and good food. We went with a 15% discount for buying tickets for panting along the river, so we ended up at 18.50 pounds per head.

Beautiful, clean place with calm music, we ate breakfast - it was delicious,( breakfast till 11:30) coffee latte looks like it should be. Kind polite staff.

A hidden gem, the food is first class and they really bent over backwards to get us a table. Highly recommended

Excellent ambience. Very pleasant waiter if a little slow. Cabrese salad delicious. Lamb unfortunately too tough. Ravioli very tasty. Reasonably priced and well definitely be back.

friendly staff

The food was delicious. The tiramasu is the best!!!

Very welcoming. Had a lovely time here

Once again we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We reserved a table for a family of four a few weeks prior; not realizing there was going to be a set Valentines Menu. Truly grateful the staff were able to accommodate us with items from the main menu for the kids. Just like last time the dishes were demolished as they were extremely tasty. The portion sizes are super filling but well worth it. This is the first Italian restaurant outside of Italy in the area that had us reminiscing about Italy. Thank you again for the delicious meal. Kid-friendliness: Our children all under 12 years old have enjoyed this restaurant. They ate all their food with no complaints and left nothing but the sauce. Staff are lovely and friendly. Highly recommend

We had a lovely lunch at this restaurant while visiting Cambridge . It is a very nice family owned restaurant. The owner Ab served us himself and offered us extra starters for free. The quality of food was great cooked with extra virgin olive oil. I will definitely stop by again when we are in Cambridge.

Very nice lunch, very reasonably priced. . Unfairly unbusy (when everywhere else was crammed) since food and service were fine - from the outside it may look not great, but appearances were deceptive. Recommended.

We popped in before going the corn exchange, the food was fantastic service was as good and great value. Will be returning for next visit pre show.

Best pizza I have had in ages... Chicken with Rosemary. Followed by an amazing tirimisu. Highly recommend.

Super nice Italian restaurant the staff very nice, the owner even takes time to chat. Food very tasty, toilet super clean. Well worth eating here.

Wheelchair accessibility: No parking no wheelchair access 12 %added gratuity1/2

Lovely food & great service

I love it here my sister and myself always come here when shopping in cambridge it is amazing every time

Excellent steak and wine .

Excellent food and service every time! This place deserves some praise, the food is fresh and delicious. Service is attentive and very nice. Pizza is thin crust, pasta has the most beautiful flavours. Best Italian in Cambridge.

Not gonna lie this restaurant can be one of the worst in Cambridge. Ive ordered Spaghetti Bolognese and its so watery. The pasta was plain and really flavorless. You will regret having it. Oh also if you want bad serving experience this will be it. The waiter was so impolite that he rushed us checking the bill even we havent finish the dinner

Fantastic restaurant, food is excellent, and the service is very good, Luca especially. They took food intolerances very seriously and were very accommodating with altering dishes to suit. We enjoyed it so much, we went back again another night. Both nights, the food and service was impeccable. Very good knowledge of the large selection of wines and spirits, and great recommendations given on both those, and the food. The restaurant is nicely decorated and doesnt feel tightly packed like some other restaurants. A very pleasant place to be. Yes, there is a 12.5% service charge included, but believe me, if it wasnt, you would give a decent tip anyway. Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating

Received an excellent service, very attentive and friendly staff. Delicious food and tasty selection of wines. Really enjoyed the live saxophone music while having a wonderful dinner experience with a friend in the outdoors seating. Also, a perfect spot for sunshine on a beautiful day!

Very nice place, really good food, great service, okay prices, I recommend it

This was a very poor experience for us. The menu was limited and the food we ordered was OK but nothing special. However our problems started when we came to pay. Firstly they have ridiculous minimum charge of £40 if you want to pay on your debit/credit card. Otherwise they send you up the street to the cashpoint. Then there is a compulsory 12.5% service charge, which you pay even if you receive poor service. Our bill came to £37 and we had to go and pay at the bar downstairs as they dont have portable card machines. After realising I didnt have any way of withdrawing cash, rather than accepting my card they made me set up a direct bank transfer. When I said I wasnt going to pay the service charge the waiter started arguing with me! The manager redeemed himself by backing down when he saw I was not going to accept this nonsense, but the whole experience was ridiculous. Its 2023, people dont pay restaurant bills in notes and coins and we tip for good service only.

Quite possibly the best Italian restaurant weve ever been in. Food was tasty and portions were of a good size. Highly recommended.

My partner and I recently had a very tasty small lunchtime snack and glass of wine at the Stazione Restaurant, Cambridge. Ab Attia the Proprietor was an excellent host and really looked after us admirably. In fact, all the staff were of the highest calibre and the atmosphere of the restaurant was excellent! We will definitely visit Ab and his team again and can highly recommend this fantastic Cambridge establishment!!

We came in for what I considered a light lunch and was shocked to see our bill came to over £100. Two items that were delivered extra to our order that were returned as they were a mistake were still charged for and on top of this was a whacking great service charge. Although the food was reasonable I would never frequent again as it is not the customer s job to pay the staff s wages exclusively and everything else be pocketed by the management. Reading some of the other reviews it sounds like the management are unpleasant any way and why should people like that have the public patronise their establishment.

Just never buy steak as it literally boiled and a tiny bit flamed meat. Worst steak ever ate.

Nice and friendly staff, excellent food and cosy atmosphere.

Dont eat here. First off there is a 40 Pound credit card minimum and if your bill is less than than that the menu instructs you to withdraw cash at the nearest ATM which just so happens to have a credit card skimmer attached to it (how coincidental). Additionally there is a 12.5% charged added on top of your bill for god awful and service. Our waiter had to be flagged down multiple times, didnt bring out food she previously said she wont and then proceeded to add an additional 3 pounds on top of the bill for no reason.

Absolutely awful experience. Mediocre at best food. Terrible service. Petty waiter. Dont come here. Plenty of other great options in Cambridge especially Italian. If you want to get nickle and dimed for pasta thats equivalent to a 3.50 Sainsbury meal deal entre then this is place for you.

Delicious food, very good service and lovely atmosphere Kid-friendliness: There were children in the restaurant and they were catered for very well, shared dishes, highchairs etc Food : 5/5 |

Scammed me and my friends. They will take money from you and not give you what you paid for. Avoid this place!

Food was perfect. Service was great and all round atmosphere was good.

This was probably the best tea strainer I ve ever been to! I recommend it highly Kid-friendliness: They even let kids choose drinks from the bar Wheelchair accessibility: They are extremly co-operative to wheelchair users

Super food with lovely people. I am intimate basement setting. Very good value, excellent sword fish and risotto. Very quiet on the night we went highly recommend

Why isnt it packed out? Beautiful food, great value. Lovely staff

Had dinner yesterday. Absolutely beautiful. My Carbonara was delicious and service amazing. Cant wait to return again. Sue. Kid-friendliness: We have taken our dog and ate outside.

We visited the place last Saturday evening and we had a very good experience. The food was very tasty, the atmosphere very relaxing while a keyboard and a saxophone were playing jazz music, the service was fast and the staff was very friendly. Especially Luca , was more than amazing ! And of course our dinner finished with the best tiramisu and a very flavoured limoncello! Highly recommended!

Lovely food and great surroundings

What a hidden gem of Cambridge town centre This is the most beautiful family ran Italian restaurant romantic and classic decor with a relaxed atmosphere of a time gone by . traditional Italian menu (the mushroom starter and lasgana is to die for!) friendly, warm and professional service with a genuine smiles. How restaurants of a bygone era were ran with attention to detail a warm and inviting atmosphere. You must come here to avoid the chains that have taken over the high street. I promise you will not be disappointed . The pre theatre menu is a must and so much food, portions are fabulous and it s a real taste of Italy. The amatore white wine is a perfect complement and after a bottle we had to have it in the red!! We loved everything about this charming Italian, and hope you do to. Support local independent businesses - we must Hayley x

Wow wow wow! Stazione s is the place to be if you want a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, relaxed with wonderful food! L I d highly recommend Stazione to anyone! (Top Tip: Have the Lasagne and you will not be disappointed!!!)

Even though they didnt have several things on the menu we ordered they bent over backwards to try and come up with alternatives or apologies. Great service and the food was amazing too.

Meal was good and our waiter was very fast and efficient. I will say that you need to bring cash with you because if your meal is under £40 you cant put it on your charge card. But over all service was fast and the pasta was delicious.

Great food and service

After being let down by another restaurant where we intended to eat steaks, I enquired to the owner as to whether he could put in a special order for our staff Christmas party for some larger steaks than they normally serve. He happily obliged, gave us a respectable price and we all had a fantastic time. The staff, service and exceptional steaks really made our night special.

One of the best interiors in Cambridge, & the food is very tasty. Good options of starters & main courses. Will try the desserts next time!

Great food and lovely staff. We have visited many times, before covid and this was our first trip back. Great venue if your going to a show at the Corn Exchange as it is just around the corner

food was absolutely delicious and service was very quick and friendly!

Friendly, helpful staff. able to make small changes to components of a dish. Chef very proud of his tiramisu!

Service was excellent and very friendly. Food was very nice and lots of it. Well worth checking out. Will be going back next time in Cambridge.

Beautiful, very pleasant, quite professional staff, more than good food...

Very friendly service. So far always managed to get a table. Food is freshly prepared and hot with plates warmed. Lovely Italian food.

I came to Stazione with my family my son had a margarita pizza which he said it was delicious, I had a spinach ravioli served with parmesan cheese that was nice and my husband had a risotto also with parmesan cheese that he loved. We also had desserts me and my husband having the tiramisu and my son having the vanilla ice cream. Overall, the food was delightful and the service was amazing!

Came based on reviews, was a bit apprehensive as the entrance is small and down some narrow stairs, however, it opens up into a beautifully decorated restaurant. We were greeted at the entrance by the owner, who assured us that vegan options were not a problem and would make us something special depending on what we wanted. The vegan pasta meal was excellent, and my carbonara was spot on. MASSIVE portions so be prepared.

we came from far away and we chosen this place to relax...but very disappointed customer service...we ordered few drinks was to much cold because we was with child and they didnt let us to sit down inside because we didnt order food...no more coming back

Very quiet when coming in, especially on a bank holiday weekend when every other restaurant was full, which speaks for itself. After a lengthy wait the waiter/manager brought us out the wrong order. After complaining in a very calm way, the manager started shouting and swearing. I was totally speechless. There were young children and families around that were visibly upset by his outburst. Due to his outburst we decided to leave. I would sincerely advise others to find a different place to eat. I d give 0 stars if I could.

Delicious veggie breakfast. Reasonably priced, friendly staff.

Prices are high and don t treat you with respect and just wants your money

Food was not fresh (as they say it would be) & medium warm. In the beginning the waiter (or boss) was friendly and promised that fresh food and if we didnt like it we did not have to pay, but when we didnt like the food, he became arrogant and unfriendly. Just do not go here, not worth it.

Magnificent breakfast! The waiters were very friendly, we wanted an English breakfast and we went after hours, and they did us the favor of making it for us. If we return to Cambridge we will repeat!! Good quality at a good price.

I came here with my kids for a late lunch. We arrived about an hour before they closed the restaurant before the evening service and so only the outside seating area was open. Our food (two pizzas, one fish and chips and one swordfish and chips) took 45 minutes to come. It wasnt busy so really no need for such a big delay. After asking what was taking so long, I was told that all the food is ready but the swordfish is taking longer to grill than expected, did we want the rest of the food now?..... Yes of course! I dont want the rest of the order sitting under a heat lamp! When the food finally arrived, I cut the fish in half for my 4 year old daughter, I saw that it was completely raw inside. The waiter wholeheartedly agreed, apologized and took the food away. 5 minutes later he returned with the same plate, half of the fish I had just had been thrown back into the fryer. So I had a thin (original) half of cold fish, and a thick (refried) overdone side. I know that kids dont have developed pallets yet, but come one! They could at least have thrown a fresh fish in! My daughter spilled her drink all over the table, and while the waiter was quick to come over to clean it, he didnt offer a replacement (free or otherwise). With all of the above in mind I would have thought they could offer a complimentary drink, but no. The rest of the dishes were ok, nothing special but not horrible. Service needs fixing and the ridiculous wait for food needs to be fixed. I will not be returning.

Beautiful lasagne, homemade chips to die for and friendly staff! Service was quick too on a busy Saturday in central Cambridge. Will definitely come back!!

Great food, great staff - can t go wrong. Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely pavement restaurant very authentic Italian food, served quickly. The staff were very attentive but not overly so. Excellent quality and servjce overly so.

Had lunch here Sunday 14th May 2022, staff very friendly and efficient, food was lovely, well presented and tasty, one in our party who is a big eater had finished and the waiter asked if he wanted any more, when they declined he then offered a complimentary dish of home made fries which he accepted they were fabulous! All in all, a very nice restaurant which we would use again.

Food was very poor, 2 people in our party had to send meals back because they were cold & tasteless. The owner offered an exchange of meals but they were still only average. The carbonara was edible but quite bland , the seafood spaghetti dish had piles of spaghetti and approx 6 pieces of seafood only! I didn t see any pizzas so can t say what they were like but we won t be going back again .

Its not worth it. There is no love in the work, and this underground hole has no atmosphere

We chose Stazione to celebrate our wedding anniversary and didnt regret our choice. We had a lovely evening. The food was excellent as always. Best steak weve had in the UK. The service was attentive without being intrusive and the ambiance was cosy and relaxed. Thank you for making our evening special

Just been to Staziones, with my sisters Pearl & Dianne, first visit an hopefully not the last. The service was excellent, nothing was too much. The food was amazing, had home made Ravioli it was so tasty as well the Polli Tricolore. Couldnt fault it. Would recommend visiting when in Cambridge

Good food friendly staff

Awful manager got aggressive about food allergies and the other staff member was useless. Bill had a 12.5% service charge added that the owner argued about us not wanting to pay.

I have now visited twice. The first time the waiters outside were unhappy to cater of a pushchair even though it wasnt particularly busy. They also have a non optional 12.5% service charge and a minimum of £40 card charge. It is stated on the menu however it is covered up by the fold at the bottom of the menu cover. Food was nice but service wasnt great. Second time was about as (non) busy as the first and they were okay about pushchairs this time however the food was not as nice. My issue was at the end I showed my blue light card which shows a 20% discount on the blue light app, however the man only took 10% off the bill. When I went to the till to query, the lady at the till took 10% off the updated bill. I was trying to explain that that still only makes 19%, not 20% (10% of the original bill + 10% off the already 10% discount is not the full discount. I would have let it slip if the service would have been excellent. We wont be returning, I gave it a second chance and was as disappointed as the first time.

Great service and exceptional food!

Terrible! Very poor quality food, forced to pay cash if the total is less than £40 and 12.5% service charge! Day time robbery. I dont think any of the locals eat here, this place is a trap for tourists only! If you are lucky enough to read this, please stay away from this place!

Amazing goats cheese salad, very fresh and very tasty as always! Tiramisu was beautiful also! Staff are very accommodating Great place to people watch also, highly recommend

A gorgeous lunch had with friends. The Goat cheese salad is absolutely amazing!! The hospitality is spot on, so well looked after as well. The homemade tiramusu was so light and delicious too.

Rude waiters, fussing over everything. Average food. Never going back. Made a commotion with our outdoor seating with a dog. Made us move thrice. Didnt let us move an empty chair. We had a guest on our table who wasnt eating, so he bluntly told us there will be a service charge for occupying the seat. Never have i heard that. And if for once the restaurant was busy and we were holding business, sure, i could accept that but there were barely 3 tables occupied and at least 7 vacant outdoors and all vacant indoors. The tome was so rude, the service was slow and seemed so reluctant as if doing us a favour. The gnocchi was good but the sauce was bland and when he asked for feedback, we said so. So he snapped, saying that its homemade. So what- I still found it flavourless!?!? Dont ask for feedback if you dont know how to take it. Horrendous experience. Please dont go. Unwelcoming experience, never seen rhis before in the UK. Need some hospitality training.

We had their delicious breakfast outside. Great service.

Great location, food was amazing the staff were so attentive even made something special for us. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Lovely tasting Italian food that genuinely is Italian! I know getting bolognese is basic but was comfort food and tasted great.

Abs the owner was delightful, first time customer and food was amazing like the host as a really lovely guy.if you read this Abs its Alex .Recommended to all those who want real Italian food which your taste buds will love.10 out 10

Really shocked to read some of these reviews. Our experience, was nothing but positive! And we are extremely fussy! The staff were so attentive. The manager Abbs was so welcoming. Made us feel very welcome. Yes there is a service charge( but was so worth it) Our food was delicious. Nothing was to much trouble. Will definitely return

I needed a speedy light meal before returning to London Good service and very good seafood risotto I am disabled so sat outside warm evening couldn t go downstairs to main restaurant

I ve lived in cambridge for 20 years, and like most walked past this restaurant. However I had the delight of dinning there recently. I fully recommend trying this place. The service was great, extremely friendly and accommodating. The food itself was very well cooked. All very fresh and full of flavour. Moving onto the highlight of the evening the desserts! I sampled many of them, each as exquisite as the last. My particular favourite was the tiramisu, along with carrot cake. Some of the best I ve ever had! Overall the experience was what dinning should be. I felt like it was a treat, and the owner is such a genuinely nice person. Who really cares about delivering the highest quality of service to his customers. I ll be back again.

Wonderful Italian experience, with very pleasant owners. We sat outside and had a fabulous lunch here. The portions were very filling and freshly made. As my daughter has allergies, the chef even took her to the kitchen to see that the kitchen is clean and hygienic. I will % be going back. Thanx for a lovely lunch

An interesting Italian restaurant with a creepy waiter and a mandatory 12.5% tip. The cleanliness of the toilet could also be better. The prices of the dishes themselves are quite high. Its a pity that such shortcomings can spoil someones experience, because the food is tasty.

Italianita in the middle of Cambridge. Wonderfully eaten.

Food was cold with no flavour. I dont think it was fresh and it had a very sharp salty taste to it. Also, Why would you automatically add 12.50 % service charge on the bill and your waiter didnt even check how was my food???? Very bad experience. Would never go back

Attentive service, good food and prices, no rush meal, large venue for big parties. Menu encompasses all tastes.

Fantastic tasty food and such friendly service! Great music and comfy seating! Highly recommend.

Popped in for lunch today! Fantastic place, the owner is hands on and makes you feel very welcome, I had lamb chops which were very tasty. Really enjoyed the food. Lively restaurant. You wont be disappointed.

A very welcoming place to eat!

Loved everything! Food was excellent staff were very friendly and helpful but not overbearing. Would happily recommend to anyone who likes good Italian food

We walked in (2 of us) and found a table (weekday) luckily though I feel if it was a weekend, we wouldnt have had so much luck! Was a nice lunch-busy atmosphere, and I could see quite a few people were repeat customers (based on engagements with staff) and for obvious reason - the food was great and the guy I think seemed like the owner really had a great way about him. Portion sizes were BIG (had to help my mum finish hers begrudgingly) and Im a big Italian food eater and loved both dishes. Food arrived fast, which might be useful if youve got a theatre/comedy show somewhere around Cambridge. All staff clearly professionals and really friendly.

Staff were wonderful and accommodating for a large dinner our boat club had. Food was nice and they gave us plenty of options.

I liaised with Ab to arrange a black tie dinner for a large number of guests, on occasion of our Boat Club Dinner. Ab was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the process, the food was fantastic, and the level of organization was very impressive. I can t recommend Stazione enough, for both corporate and private events you will feel truly heard, and it is clear that everyone involved with the restaurant cares deeply that your evening is a success. We will be back!

The most rude manager Ive come across. There was a group of 5 of us and we sat outside and had just one drink. When we came to pay the waitress informed us that there was a £40 minimum spend on card... We then received the bill and paid the balance for the drinks which was just under £20. The manager then demanded that we had to pay the service charge of 12.5% which he said which he said was mandated as per the menu. However this apparently was written within the food menu and we had only received the drinks menu which didnt state say. We then started a discussion over this which ended with the manager being verbally abbussive and threatening.

Good food. Good service

Many restaurants in the UK claim to be authentic Italian, but the majority fail to combine the flavours the way only Italians know to do. Stazione isnt like all the other Italian restaurants. This restaurant is located in the heart of Cambridge, opposite the Market, and the food is simply exquisite. Everything we tried, from the bruschetta to the quattro stagioni pizza, was amazing. The staff was great, too, especially Rafa. Very welcoming. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Cambridge.

Came into Cambridge for lunch come across this restaurant with seating outside was ideal for lunch with the nice weather. Ordered food which was pricey but didn t mind if it was good food , no kids options only adult choices and I had my two children with me . When food arrived at the table very bland , I tried the food I ordered for my girls very much the same very bland and tasteless i didn t like the taste so left untouched begrudgingly as the price was quiet expensive for lunch , then I get charged at the end for £6 service charger I asked to take this off as I didn t know it wasn t optional I was told they can t do that . This was clear too me at the start or on the menu . I left paying £48.77 3 lunches that we didn t touch and I had two small children with me . Shocking service never would I recommend this place for the taste or the service avoid all costs

Cant fault it! Delicious food, friendly staff, speedy service. Thoroughly recommend!

The staff are friendly and very accommodating. The food was amazing. Would definitely recommend. 5 star service.

We stumbled across this restaurant on our first visit to Cambridge. The food was impeccable and we asked the bar tender for a wine which was out of stock but he brought a great one over instead. The service was great as well as the food! It s a very romantic setting inside and i would recommend it highly!! We had the Nicolello red wine, pizza and ragu pasta!

The hangry man . We had a lovely lunch here, lovely breads to start and then a mixed platter consisted of meats and fish s, very Italian , very nice indeed. The waiter and waitress were absolutely joyful and lovely, a fantastic experience thanks guys for your hospitality. The hangry man .

Wonderful food I had coffee and a Caesar salad, both were amazing. Great outdoor tables by market square in Cambridge. Highly recommended

We only went for a light lunch but it was wonderful. Lots of flavour and very morish. Would definately go back for a larger meal. Smashingstaff to. Excellent.

Food was delicious, excellent sitting outside but also stunning decoration inside, very gentle and attentive staff, and not very pricy :)

Nice food great customer service

Family meal with Kids aged 10 and 14 Kids hoofed their food, Dan (10) managing a full adults bologneise and garlic bread. I never thought hed eat it but he loved it so much he went to thank the chef himself ! My other sons fish was amazing too; fresh, huge and splendid batter. I had a pizza which was larger than I should have eaten but I could not help myself. We ate in the gazebo on the street in the evening, really nice to be outside and recieved pleasant attentive service. Best meal we have had anywhere as long as I can remember.

Enjoyed a really lovely family lunch. Great food and very friendly and attentive service. Will definitely be returning and would recommend it. Lots of seating inside and out.

Excellent restaurant - good menu and reasonable prices. We went for lunch on two consecutive days in July and sat outside. The perfect spot to watch the Cambridge tourists!

This is the best Carbonara Ive had in Cambridge so far. Id strongly recommend it to everyone!

Fantastic food and service, in a beautiful setting. We had pizzas and they were delicious - we even ate the crusts! Recommend and will return.

Quality of the food wasnt very good at all.

Absolutely amazing service, All the staff are very friendly and attentive. The owner moved us to a cosier corner as soon as it came available. As for the food, WOW!! The chef cooked our meals to perfection. Would highly recommend for any occasion!!

A hidden gem. Superb food, great value, very friendly and welcoming service. There is a beautiful indoor seating area as well as the really nice outdoor area.

Food was spot on and great service but there was hidden charges (service charge) which added 5 pounds to meal ? it was worth it

The worse ever!!!

Me and a friend popped in for a quick lunch. Server was polite and we were seated quickly. Drinks came quickly aswell. We had a platter to start which we both couldnt fault. Fish was tender. Very nice overall. Waiter didnt check up on our food and didnt offer us anymore drinks. Our plates werent cleaned until our mains came out. We both had ravioli and both dishes had a dry bland filling. I had the duck and orange and it was tasteless, if I wasnt told it was duck I wouldnt have been able to guess. Our plates werent cleared and I had to catch the attention of the waiter to get the bill. The waiter did apologise for the food but nothing was offered in return for the bad food. When given the bill we felt quite ripped off as the prices were very high and we were then told that the service charge wasnt option. We paid 80 pounds for two courses we didnt particularly enjoy and now after a few hours we both dont feel particularly well

The pizza was good!! And great service.

1. The food quality/taste didnt meet the expectations given by the price 2. Requested the meal to be spicy; what I received was not spicy at all and they dont have any spicy sauce as well. Utter nonsense from a restaurant

Everytime we visit Cambridge we stop here. Super welcoming owner, always made to feel welcome and comfortable. Fabulous with our young family always willing to grab us a high chair and clean up the mess left by my toddler, despite our best efforts. Wonderful, tasty food. Even our picky teenager loves it here

The total experience was not up to scratch, the staff were rude and not very sympathetic to the needs of disabled people and people with prams. I would not recommend this restaurant for people who are disabled and people with twin buggies.

Delicious Italian style pizza,very good staff

Great coffee You might get more than you bargained for

Excellent. Will return

We were unable to book any of our choices of restaurant and were struggling to find somewhere with availability at about 6:30 last Saturday. We decided to try Stazione and went down the stairs into the restaurant. We were immediately welcomed with very positive attitude, of course they could seat us, a party of 6, even though they were busy. From there nothing seemed too much trouble and we all had a really pleasant evening. We had a bottle of local Venetian white wine, which was lovely. We all had pizzas, which were delicious, and followed with equally tasty desserts. Although they were busy, the staff still came and looked after us, and we had great chats and were posed some puzzles. Absolutely great, and would recommend to all without reservation.

Food was good.

Very friendly manager bringing the best part of Italian culture to Cambridge town centre
