Ad- @limoncellocambs THANK YOU 🤩 What an amazing dinner for my sons 19th birthday. From the service to the food to the decor… You absolutely smashed it! If you want real Italian flavour then you need to visit.

Reviews Summary

Limoncello is celebrated for its authentic Italian cuisine, particularly its pizzas and truffle pasta, served in a cozy and charming atmosphere. Diners rave about the friendly and attentive service, with special mentions of the delightful courtyard garden. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, a few reviews note pasta being slightly overcooked on occasion.

"Wow... it's a lovely place to eat and take away if you do not manage to finish. I absolutely love the decor, service and food ... it's so delicious 😋 thank you. Recommend cocktails as well🍸 👌"

Anna Głogowska

"Absolutely loved this place! The sausage and mushroom pizza was delicious and very filling. The pistachio tiramisu was absolutely scrumptious — I highly recommend everyone give it a try.

The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere was cosy yet bustling. We made a reservation in advance, as I’d heard this is quite a popular spot in town."

Janet Chuen

"Very good steaks. A good selection of italian cuisines. I am afraid i will leave this city soon or i would love to pay more visits to your restaurant. Love it🥰"

My 9 Top Italian Restaurants in Cambridge (by a Local!)

Limoncello has an Italian deli in addition to the restaurant, so you can sit alongside the delicious olives, meats and Italian foods, or sit in the courtyard garden at the back if you want some fresh air. A more traditional Italian place, the salads at Limoncello are excellent, as are their pasta dishes, and I really like the atmosphere when sitting in the deli area – it’s just a lovely little shop. They also have proper gelato, if you’re looking for something to take away.

Best restaurants in Cambridge: 18 great places to eat in and around the city

Cambridge's oldest Italian deli that has stood on Mill Road since 1997, this place also doubles as a restaurant or trattoria. With a rustic, homely feel, its hearty Italian dishes are always delicious and bring a slice of the Mediterranean into the city. With an outside patio area where customers can sit and enjoy their food on warmer days and a deli area inside where you can purchase Italian food, it's a favourite in central Cambridge.

Simon's Quest: The best pizza in Cambridge (ranked) 🍕

A thin crust pizza made with spicy Calabrian n’duja, pepperoni & spianata, all from their own on site deli. Made from “00” pizza dough but also comes with an excellent gluten free alternative too. Well cooked with a nice crispy base and high quality ingredients but a little steeper than other pizzas and could do with more topping around the edges.

A charming little slice of Italy, Limoncello serves up gorgeous fresh pesto, juicy olives, and great antipasti and cheeses. The punchy Italian coffee is well worth a try, especially when paired with a slice of bouncy panettone or bite of biscotti. Take it outside and enjoy while watching Mill Road go by…
