Aromi in Cambridge

Really impressed by this pizza spot; the food and the staff. The traditional Caponata pizza was outstanding and a must try at this slice of Sicilian heaven in Cambridge!

Aromi is great to visit both for sit-in meals and for take-away (I have had both). They have great options for both of these at all times in the day, at quite a reasonable price. It is popular, and occasionally there are waits for service, particularly for take-away. Lots of great options!

Great food and gelato! Still, I wouldn't recommend latte. You only drink milk foam rather than the taste of coffee.

Wow, wow, wow. What a find! I'm gutted I live 100 miles away as already want to go back. Found the absolute delight of a place when visiting Cambridge. Originally went past Friday lunchtime and the queue was HUGE. got me intrigued as to what was worth waiting in the huge line. Googled the reviews and we went Saturday morning and I'm so glad we did. The smell of the place hits you when you enter and you immediately feel peckish and need a coffee. The food on display looked insane and I'm only gutted I didn't buy more. The pistachio cake was everything and more. Tasty, moist creamy flavour which despite looking dense was light and fluffy. May just be the best calendar ever had. And I've had alot. Run, don't walk to this place.

Rip-off!!! We bought an ice cream for my daughter earlier today. 2 flavours -1 cone - on their board it states that it’s £4.90 however they charged us £9.80. When I tried to understand why they are charging us twice the amount the girl kept on telling me that it’s because my daughter chose two flavours. Will never return again!!

Good pizza. The problem was the service, from the people at the counter and the people that serves you pizza, everyone was pissed off and annoyed by us. And it was not only me, but everyone who was ordering before. The hygiene is also not very good, the silverware was dirty, and the glasses for tap water looked like they need some upgrade. As I said, pizza was very good, but I would not go there again.

I wish have in London. Everything I eat was incredible delicious!

The waiters are very sweet and helpful. Wine and pizza are delicious 😋

Food is really good, but staff working behind the counter is really rude.

Ice cream was perrrrrrrrfect! We ordered tiramisu, mandarin, pistachio and nut. The portion was very big and the price for that ice cream was cheap. Really liked the place. Try this and you won’t regret.

Delicious food, but the service is disgusting... the staff is inhospitable, it feels like we are annoying them or they are just tired of the flow of people...

Lovely food! Quite a bit of choice. Value for money. The queue took about 15 mins for a take away and then a few mins wait if you want it warm. In my Opinion it was worth the wait. Really enjoyed the pizzas / focaccia and tartlets we tried

The dining space seemed a bit small. They need a sign on the side door as people keep walking in through it and get turned away by staff. Overall, very good restaurant and highly recommend going if you’re hungry in Cambridge.

Ice cream was tasty but service was rather slow. Staff look frustrated to be serving you in the first place. Ice cream counter was too high for wheelchair users to reach.

The pizza dough was amazing, but the tomatoes base was a bit sweet for my usual liking. We have to queue 20mins for a takeaway.

I love the atmosphere , when i was walking to class when i have time i go and have a breakfast with coffee , inside decoration everything was really good

Beautiful food and drink and atmosphere but the staff needs to be Italian even better Sicilian would make the whole experience a lot better #justsaying

The food here is superb as always. I usually sit inside however I was busy and decided to take away. I think it’s a poor system where you have to shuffle past the queue all the way outside to where you can faintly hear your order being called and have to awkwardly shuffle back in. It would be great to have a proper system. Aside from that the food is delicious and authentic. I would recommend and will come here in future 😊

Perfect pistacio hot chocolate. Never tasted anything quite like it, it was like drinking pure melted nutty chocolate. The croissants were absolutely delicious too. If you visit Cambridge, this one is a must.

Visited on a Monday evening… had to search out a member of staff and ask for a table. Waited a long time to order and considered leaving. Service is bare minimum in this place but of course a service charge is applied and then once you’ve taken yourself to the counter to pay they prompt you to leave a second tip! They literally carry a pizza from the oven to your table. The menu is very limited across the board, pizza is nothing special. Gelato is very basic. Couldn’t wait to leave, won’t return. Poor value.

The line is a little longer, but it's cheap and delicious! There are two floors, Level 0 and Basement 1, so there's plenty of seating even if it's crowded. Will visit again. * Ordered Caponata（茄子披萨）、Magherita（玛格丽特）、Tiramisu

great coffee, bit busy around lunch time so prepare to get takeaway.

delicious fresh and large portion, nice service

Worst service I’ve ever experienced. Ordered food and they forgot about us, offered no apology, and wasn’t sincere about trying to help the situation. We walked out without our food, and at that point they got £26 out of us for free

The food in the evening is poor quality. The aricini are smaller than the day time ones and are greasy and lukewarm. The ragu one was tasteless and had some pink coloured stuff in them. The pizza was so thin on the base you could see through it. It can’t have been more than 2 mm thick. It was a very disappointing meal we won’t be repeating.

The food here is amazing, truly gorgeous. There were massive queues from around 11.30am until 3.30pm, so we left it until then to try the food, was definitely worth the wait. However as there were only seats left downstairs, one member of staff didn't seem happy for us to be down there, even though another had told us we could sit down there as it was s busy. So we did feel a little bit out of place as she was trying to clean. But other than that I would still return for food.

Absolutely shocking service and terrible manners and communication. £30 for 3 sandwiches and I was charged 3 times because the lady at the bar didn’t know who was in charge and how to explain what had happened. No cutlery given and I was given the wrong drinks order and the correct one never came as a replacement,AWFUL SERVICE.

Great food, good service but boy ard you rammed in! We had a table for 2 but were so close to the next table it was more like table for 4!

Food was tasty it wasn’t very hot more on the cold side, not much variety even tho it looks like they have a big menu through the window. The people working on the shop they were not very welcoming, they take your order like they are annoyed to have you there.

Probably the worst service I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant. Extremely poor and un-attentive staff. They brought out the dessert of tiramisu before the main course, and when we refused and asked for it to be brought out at the end, a minute later another waiter came back with the tiramisu. We again refused, and once we asked for it at the end of the meal, it was nowhere to be seen.

It was delicious. Large portions, there is an opportunity to eat at the institution or take food with you.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon following a recommendation from an Italian friend. Tried the Caponata and Pancetta Pizza, both delicious. Indulged in Cannoli Ricotta, Panz Crema, and a velvety Pistachio Hot Chocolate. The Cannoli Ricotta stands out with its fried pastry, sweet cream cheese, and a hint of lime—a highly recommended delight. Despite a busy shift, the staff remained friendly and helpful.

The food is amazing, there is usually a queue and you need to wait to get a seat, but the food is worth it. However, yesterday the staff decided to serve their friends, skipping all the people that were already waiting, and my 15 mins wait turned into a 50 mins wait, since they ordered 6-8 pizzas that went before mine and other 10 numbers that were waiting before me. This is not fair, especially if they are making people wait outside in the cold.

Pizza superiore a molte pizzerie italiane

Great pizza and tiramisu. The pistachio thick hot chocolate is worth trying, but you need a spoon. Will visit again. 😊

Absolutely love it here, the food is incredible and always keeps me coming back whenever I visit Cambridge.

Loved it! Came down on Monday morning , really quiet, quick service and the Pastry was fantastic

Pizza and coffee was fresh and great! Would have enjoyed if I get to dine in. Maybe for my next trip in Cambridge.

the food, specially the pizza, is amazing! really delicious. however, go there if you are patient enough to stay in a long que for quite a while to get a chance to go inside a very small restaurant and after you get a seat next to the door which with every time opening, you freeze to death and your food get cold quickly! they are earning money, why are they not expanding?!

They put their card reader for tipping next to the actual card reader for paying! The tipping machine took a tip from me without my permission. Definitely a con, I’m sure I’m not the only person to come across this

The food options are quite limited, but whatever you order you are in for a wonderful treat. The cafe area is quite tight with not a lot of space.

Tourist trap: Waited 40 minutes to get 2 slices of pizza - it was served in paper bags that stuck to all of the topping which made it a complete waste of time and money. Service was also rude and seemingly annoyed that their shop was busy and made us wait outside. The pistachio Arancini was good but overall I would not recommend.

Ωραία ποικιλία από ζεστές πίτσες, γρήγορη εξυπηρέτηση. Καλές τιμές. Τι άλλο θες;

It is not surprising that there is always a line outside Aromi during lunch time. This is the best it gets for Italian food in Cambridge, and the prices are super fair. Aromi is a family business, which is rare in town. Here you will find a wide array of Sicilian delicacies, from amazing deserts to arancinis, pizza slices, and full sourdough pizzas. If you are there in the afternoon, please do not forget to try their “thick” hot chocolate - it is simply divine. As a suggestion, the ordering system/table service system could be better explained outside as it often causes confusion.

Very bad in serving customers..

I came here last November (but only posting the review now LOL) and the food is definitely really amazing, i think i got the margherita pizza and a scottish egg? (I LOVED IT HAHAHHZ) And the drink, which you have to try, its so good!!! The queue last November was long as heck and even people waiting outside the shop when its raining, i think its quite a locally known shop, the seats are very tight given its quite a small place but regardless im very fulfilled and will come here next time visiting cambridge <3

1 hour waiting time for a slice of pizza to go, extremely unpleasant.

Always good food and delicious coffee here, of course - there is always a queue - worth the wait.

Bit of a mixed bag. We tried a selection of pizzas, all of which were pretty good. Arancini and cannoli were a little disappointing. The service style of the restaurant needs a bit of a rework. Staff at the counter, despite being friendly, are very slow to serve customers meaning big queues that hardly move. Given the level of trade, I’m surprised the restaurant isn’t just constantly cooking a range of pizzas and cutting and serving as they go, as opposed to cooking individual slices to order. Trying to find a table was pretty tough, especially given there were families sitting at tables without food. Whilst the upstairs seating area is nice, the basement is a little dingy and that ended up being the only space we could find a spot.

Lots of pizzas to choose from, taste is good. My pizza was served with a wrong flavour, so I told the staff and he kindly waived the price for my dessert.

The food is excellent, but the vegetarian options are limited. Finding somewhere to sit can be stressful as it is always so busy.

Buenísimo! Auténtica comida siciliana! Las pizzas buenísimas, y las focacias deliciosas, lo mejor. Tanto pizzas como focacias las hay de muchas variedades, donde recomiendo la de parmigiana. Tienen buenos precios, y los tamaños son grandes. La masa es muy crujiente, y esponjosa a la vez. También tienen postres como tartas o bizcochos, panzerotto o cannolis. Nos ha encantado

Very nice food here, the spianata sandwich was massive and the arancini was nice too. The Italian deserts are done properly and all in all is a reasonable price for what you get. It’s all self service at the till so you’re queuing with take out people and it wasn’t the friendliest either. We ended up sat downstairs near the toilet, they could probably improve the service and atmosphere but I was fine with the good food so have kept it at five stars.

Amazing Italian food in the heart of Cambridge. Nice atmosphere and great service as well.

Fabulous. Great coffee, amazing pistachio creme filled Cornetto (croissant). It was so great for a mid-morning break from Christmas shopping. We went back for a late lunch and post shopping bottle of wine, and the Spianata did not disappoint. I believe it will become a favourite coffee shop for us.

Great pizza, but certain staff need to be trained in customer service. Passive aggressive and blunt upon arrival. The food however is very good, hence the long queues. The ordering system could be better.

Possibly the best pizza i have ever had in my life and I've been many places. It was that good I had to tell the chef. Unbelievable.

A cosy place to rest your legs after strolling around Cambridge. I really like the ambience this cafe gives. The menu are quite varies, from pastry, gelato, cake, and pizza. Vegetarian and vegan are available.

My wife and I love this place. The food and coffee are wonderful! It gets busy, so it can be hard to get a table, but it's always a great option for lunch.

ماالومهم يوم مدحو ايس كريمهم لذيذذذذ مش طبيعي 😋🍦👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Unbelievably slow, disorganized and unfriendly. What a shame

disorganised, slow, terrible coffee took 15minutes to order 2x sit in coffee & biscotti. 1 person taking orders, but trying to serve & prep food at the same time. 1st hazelnut latter was awful, coffee over extracted. sent back & requested a mocha, that took another 5mins queing & explaining. espresso was also over extracted. pizza might be good, but dont use as a coffee shop.

Went for a meal in the evening. Is quite a busy and cosy little place. The food is very good and so is the staff. Toilet downstairs. Did not notice accessibility. Highly recommended.

attracted by the pizza throughout window ordered few pastries and dessert they're all amazing

好吃的意式披萨！工作日午餐也可在这里买个小披萨饼解决！很方便！

Delicious food and great service. RODRIGO THE BEST!

Love all pastries here, especially pistachio croissant and almond cake top with pistachio sauce. Always my fav spot for coffee break in town 💗

By far the best pIzza I've had in the UK. This is great take away. I had the prosciutto, so good!

Fantastic little spot. Can't always get a table, but it's always worth a visit. I always take visitors here and we always have a great experience and meal.

Looks like a lovely place, a bit disappointed by the menu and the food

Incredible focaccia and delicious arancini and the pizza is to die for. It is always busy which is a bit of a bummer but totally worth the wait to get something to go. For staying in it's best to make a reservation or just be early. I haven't tried the cannoli but it's the next on my list!

A very busy centrally located Italian patisserie. If you want Pizza, coffee, cannoli this is the place to go. It's very busy, but has a nice interior and also does take away. They have a gelato store around the corner too.

Best gelato in Cambridge! To even more specific, best pistachio gelato I’ve ever had! I’ve been eating here bi-monthly for over 3 years! Highly recommend! Also the pizzas and filled croissants are amazing!

I liked the food and quantity of food was really good. If I am so hungry I can prefer. However taste is not great. I tried margherita pizza and it made me feel like “this is not tomato sauce, it is just paste”. Maybe next time they can use actual tomato sauce with some oregano.

Suggestion：Choose pizza number 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and do not order 2 10 11

First visit. Very crowded. Had to order at counter for both eat in and takeaway. Ate in and didn't have to wait too long. As I have a small appetite, I wanted to eat half at location and half to takeaway. Generous portions, but not easy to peruse the selection because it was so crowded. Good selection of meat and veggie fillings, can't comment on vegan or food intolerance availability as not applicable to me. Would have been useful to have a menu to study before queuing up.

Lovely food and coffee, nice atmosphere and good service.

This is by far the best Italian place in Cambs, with excellent coffee, delicious pastries and great focaccia choices. Personal favourite: the arancini, especially the spinach one, when available. Expect long queues, especially on weekends.

I loved this place before Covid, but was disappointed when visited it last week with a friend. They used to have one of the best hot chocolates in UK, now it's usual watered staff they have everywhere. They used to have very tasty pizzas, but just average now. Sad. I am afraid I would not call back again now

Just passed by when the place opened up. Good timing. Got in by coincidence. It turns out to be very good Italian food. especially enjoyed the crunchy arancini, and the pistachio tiramisu. Pizza is good too. Nice vibe. Feels like in Italy. Highly recommended.

Had my breakfast here with a cappuccino and a pistachio croissant and they were both delicious. I also tried the cioccolato & ricotta cake and it was good too. Didn’t really like the tartellette instead. Overall, I recommend this place for breakfast and lunch too as the counter was loaded with pizza slices and focaccia.

Stumbled on this on visit to Cambridge Absolutely fantastic food! A real find! Some of the best Italian food outside of Italy and better than most eateries in Italy! Very welcoming and great service - highly recommend!

delicious pizzas. Staff were friendly and smiling. Busy restaurant.

Queues for this place were very long, but worth the wait. The pancetta pizza and Pistachio arancini were super tasty. For desserts, the salted caramel gelato was good, but the pistachio gelato could've had a bit more flavour.

The pistachio croissant from this place is just something else!

Delicious pizza and gelato at reasonable prices. I especially recommend the caponata pizza!

Worst service for takeout. Took 15min to bag two items + one of them was microwaved but served cold + no proper carrier for the hot pizza. Taste was ok but not worth it

We waited in the queue for 20ish minutes, ordered the pistachio arancini, pizza margharita (a slice) and focaccia parmigiano - the arancini was very tasty!! but the pizza and focaccia were very underwhelming, pizza lacked sauce and focaccia was too greasy and all you could taste was aubergine.. overall it was okay, but wouldn't go there again.

Always busy. Food looks amazing and tastes nice. I tried the Arancinis and ordered them to go. Very generous size and tastes pretty nice.

Queue is quite long most days! But it’s worth the wait as the quality of the food here is another level to your standard pizzeria! I think the service could be a bit more quicker which would reduce wait times, maybe introduce a window queue for take out separate to the dine in section! Overall the prices are quite good and the food well the pizza on sourdough is fantastic!

Excellent pizza and very reasonably priced. Would recommend putting in boxes cut up rather than straight into a bag though - toppings stuck to the bag.

Honestly the best ice cream i have EVER had…ridiculously good

Fantastic people! Grate food! Pistachios ice cream s are the best in whole Cambridge! Well recommended!

Great cafe with a wide range of Italian foods. Well priced and all freshly made.

came here with my dad for lunch, we had a sandwich each both of which were very fresh and tasted great. we also tried the pistachio arancini which was good! portion sizes are big & worth the money.

I've only ever had supermarket or chain restaurant pizzas before, so when we stumbled across Aromi on a late Monday morning I wanted to give it a go. Very glad we did because both of our pizzas were delicious, a cut above any that I've had before. Coffees were very good too. I've seen some negative comments lower down about the service, but it was fine for us on what was admittedly a fairly quiet Monday morning.

Crunchy and tasty Italian pizza. Need longer waiting time and queue during peak hour.

Cannot believe I wait for a whole hour for a pizza tastes just ok. Terrible service as well.

Gone a bit down hill since it became popular but still better than Costa.
