La Strega in East Cambridgeshire

Incredible food, freshly made with care and attention, great vegetarian options and dog friendly too! My girlfriend and I loved this place and will definitely be coming back. Also was very affordable, only £50 for a three course meal for 2 with multiple drinks! Will always be tipping at La Strega!

Real authentic food & the service was great. Have eaten here twice, the tiramisu is to die for!!

Dog friendly! Very nice atmosphere 😌

Food was delicious and Giulia was very accommodating! Highly recommend!

Lovely restaurant and service. Highly recommend!

This is a cute and cosy place which serves authentic, tasty food at good value. We will be back!

Great food and amazing service! Highly recommend

A delightful mini-Italian restaurant with cosy decor. The food was delicious but give yourself time, as the food is cooked fresh, so be prepared to wait a while over an authentic Italian beer or a refreshing Sicilian lemonade. Will definitely go again 👌😋

Fantastic evening at La Strega with my pals after eel festival! The menu is all vegetarian and they are great at catering to different allergies. Very cosy, excellent food, excellent drink.

Proper Italian food freshly made Well worth the wait as it’s all freshly made by truly Italian chef Also board games here too!

A proper Italian, unique was amazing board games to play while you wait and lovely owners Thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience

Nice relaxing atmosphere. We visited after the park run and had opportunity to try delicious coffee and tiramisu.Very unique place to visit with fantastic music.

Such amazing cuisine can't go wrong, and the owner is so nice.

Incredibly authentic and proper chill

Hidden gem in Littleport. Authentic Italian cuisine. Excellent pastas, aranchini, coffee, negronis, cornettos and produce. Super friendly staff and open kitchen. Would recommend.

Beautiful independent restaurant with amazing vegan and gluten free options. I had the homemade gnocchi and tirimasu - absolutely delicious! You will not be disappointed by this authentic little restaurant.

The parmigiana was amazing! I didn’t like the alcohol taste in the tirimisu but my dad loved it. The food was 10/10 and very authentic Italian .

My favourite authentic Italian restaurant with loads of vegetarian and vegan options, the owner puts a lot of effort to make you feel comfortable and welcome and the food is always incredible! Highly recommend for anyone who is in Cambridge or around to try this place

Not sure you know,but La Strega also makes delicious cakes like the one for my daughter’s birthday!Letizia listens to your wishes and then comes up with something better than you could imagine like a cake made out of pan di stele,chocolate sauce,fresh whipped cream,rasberry and chocolate pieces! Thank you for the cake!I can not describe how tasty it was!

We celebrated Mia Mamma’s 80th birthday at this wonderful gem of an Italian restaurant. What made it even more special, the food is all home cooked and freshly prepared to order; exceptional flavoursome vegetarian cooking… molto delizioso! The atmosphere was warm, relaxed and homely! Thank you both for a wonderful night… we look forward to our next visit! ❤️

The best italian food i've ever eat. The owner is so warm person. Just come and see for yourself.

Wonderful little hidden gem. Had a wonderful lunch here today.

La Strega is hands down our favourite restaurant! We're from Cambridge originally so had quite a lot of choice and have been to some fancy places, but we always choose to come here for our special date night or bringing friends and family. The food is AMAZING, real real Italian food a far cry from any chain and even other independent places. The restaurant has a really cosy homey atmosphere and the staff are absolutely lovely without being overbearing. Be prepared for dinner as a real whole evening event and go slow! We love it so much we had our mini wedding reception dinner here and the team really went above and beyond to make our evening magical and just so special, including making our beautiful beautiful cake. It's vegetarian but it feels like it was by accident, there is no compromise on the menu - they do the traditional thing of making amazing dishes with simple but high quality components. Huge thanks to these guys for so many beautiful evenings, we love you!

Great food, nice service and atmosphere, only one little negative it's a cutlery have a shape edges not to comfortable in use. Very recommended

Fabulous!!! Zia Leti was so attentive to my allergies super Fabulous never been so sure of my food❤️ Thanks Leti

Called in for a bite to eat and a drink. Great.

Fantastic little vegetarian place. I feel like eating in an Italian home. Thank you. I will be back 😁

Such a lovely little restaurant. As a vegetarian, I was spoilt for options. We will be definitely returning.

The food truly is magical. Lots of options on the menu and they are always happy to accommodate dietary needs. We recently had them cater a family dinner and they went above and beyond to make a special, delicious meal for us.

This was a nice restaurant with a very homey feel. The food was delicious, priced very well, and the staff very friendly. Hands down the best! Will definitely be going back.

My husband and I went last night we moved here about 8 months ago and we were saving our visit here for a special occasion. We had a *small* glass of wine each and some olives for the table and our bill came to £17.10. That is robbery, an individual small glass of wine costs more than a bottle of wine from the coop. The lady was also quite rude, she saw we were in the restaurant for a good few minutes before she said hello to us. When we were asking questions about the olives she was short and abrupt. The impact your character has when you’re a customer facing business is so important, and whilst the place looks wonderful and the food menu looks good, I unfortunately won’t go back because of the rudeness and insane prices. I know we are all feeling the consequences of the rising costs of living, but you can’t support your local restaurant on those prices. We were very disappointed!

Don’t get me wrong the food is tasty if a bit cold considering we only live a few minutes away. It’s the amount of food compared to the price that makes me give a low rating. My first photo is of the Gnocchi Al Ragu which is potato in sauce and it costs £11.70. The second photo is of the Lasagna which to be honest didn’t look as appetising as it tasted.

Awesome spongecake with gooey nutella and cherries core

Delightful restaurant, the food is amazing and you can tell the owners really care about their cooking. Always exceptionally friendly as well. Whenever we have friends visiting from out of town we take them here

Spectacular food every time. Authentic and delicious. Great service and excellent value for money. We will be going back again soon!

Very large bowls with very little in Organic vegan water available Not for the hungry Not good value Well suited to organic types

Best tiramisù and cappuccino in the whole Cambridgeshire! I felt in love with pesto! 100% recommend

Have eaten here twice now as thought the first bad meal was just a bad day and the we all have those. Second meal was so bad we couldn’t eat it! Pasta was actually uncooked, food was tasteless. Really disappointing. They do good coffee though! Hi, I sent you a chat reply on my visits to your restaurant.

Was such a lovely meal and service was good and friendly

Small and friendly with very good authentic food. Loved this place and will be going back.

£13 for a sharing boars gets you 3 small slices of bread, and 2 small slices of 2 different cheeses (4 small slices total)...not enough for 2, nor enough to warrant £13. A £30 spend might be enough for one person

Excellent food, efficient friendly service. Will definitely come again

Tiny restaurant, but great, authentic Italian cooking. Appears to be family run. I had gnocchi in a Ragu sauce; it was great. And their tiramisu is terrific!

Food was OK when it finally came, sadly we waited a whole hour between starter and main course with only two other guests in the restaurant and no explanation. Will give it another go though

Outstanding dinner at La Strega. The food was phenomenal, tasting homecooked and absolutely delicious. Even though when eating out I'd almost always choose something meaty, here the vegetarian menu didn't feel in any way a compromise. The tiramisu was incredible too. Could not recommend it highly enough, a real gem in the heart of Littleport.

Edited to 1 star from 2 star: Received an abusive message from The Restaurant regarding my review when it was nothing but factual. Restaurants should be open to feedback as well as wanting to hear how they can improve. Visited as a couple at around 1730 on Saturday and had a very odd experience from start to finish. We inadvertently visited the restaurant on an 'Apperitivo Night'. There was no advertisement outside, on the tables or spoken word from the staff before we sat down about how the night worked until we finally asked to see a menu and it was then explained. They essentially turn the restaurant into a cold buffet and offer a drink as part of the deal. With the buffet essentially just being what bar space they have with no capacity to keep any of it warm. Dishes included were olives, cheese, poorly made pasta and various breads with no site of any protein or meat in any of the dishes. The food was extremely disappointing with the exception of the arancini. My partner ordered an Aperol Spritz and it was made without Soda or prosecco, essentially just pure Aperol and ice. With us having close proximity to the bar and kitchen, we also heard the staff argue with eachother. Overall it was a very confusing visit to La Strega, we both would have preferred if they had kept their normal menu and service as other reviews of this place seem brilliant and all mention how good the food was.

Absolutely gorgeous food, wine, atmosphere and friendly helpful service. A wonderful experience.

Piccolo, tranquillo, è molto piacevole. Cibo ottimo per tutti.

Lovely food, friendly owner and the tiramisu is the best I have ever had.

Lovely people and genuine Italian cuisine. Home made and delicious dishes that will not disappoint!

A pleasant small business serving delicious home-made Italian food. The taste is great and well balanced. I particularly like the peach juice! Fresh and tasty. Can’t find anything similar in UK.

Delicious food with big flavours; great, friendly service; pretty, cozy restaurant. A top quality, but affordable place to meet your friends, or even dine alone. They also do collection takeaway, so if you fancy staying in, you can indulge in restaurant grade food in front of the telly.

Lovely place, food and owner. Highly recommended!

The perfect experience throughout! From the welcome to the farewell, the service was brilliant. A great selection of drinks and delicious, freshly prepared food, politely served in great time. We all had a lovely evening and look forward to returning again soon! Thanks Team La Strega!

An amazing place to try real Italian food prepared with love !!!

The food is so good. Simple yet delicious. Great menu and lovely little restaurant. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely look forward to going back and trying out their summer menu. The tiramisu pretty much best one I've ever eaten.

Authentic Italian food, very rare find, the mains were delicious, the desserts looked good too. They also have a lot of Italian products.

What a lovely little restaurant! The food and service are fantastic and we're so pleased to have La Strega in the village!

The most delicious lunch! We had a leisurely three courses, the meal was all fabulously authentic Italian. Brilliant value for money and we definitely will be returning soon! Thank you 💋

Best Italian food ever tasted in the UK. For context, I'm Italian!

Me and my friend ate here for the first time yesterday and wow the food was absolutely delicious. La Strega is an amazing place to eat and can't wait to return.

Very nice and cozy Italian restaurant with a great selection of vegetarian options!

Gorgeous GORGEOUS food. 4 of us ate here on Saturday night. We shared 3 starters and each had a main and a soft drink. It came to £80 which felt like such a bargain. Fully recommend the broad bean houmus which is unlike anything I've ever eaten before. The gnocchi was incredible - it has an uttterly unique, earthy taste which is amazing. I'm going to have to go back enough times to try everything on the menu before I choose a favourite. Thank you!

A small and lovely authentic Italian meal. Not your typical high street chain and well worth a visit for some home cooked food.

A simple, delicious lunch at a reasonable price in a welcoming environment. Menu is easy to navigate- the focus is on tried and tested, simple tasty fare. Will visit again!

This place does brilliant, proper coffee and delicious deserts. Wonderful authentic menu on offer as well. Can't go wrong. You won't find anywhere serving these dishes for miles around.

We had a delicious lunch in this relaxed, friendly and comfortable veggy deli cafe. It was lovely to have the time to really enjoy the food, to share, to talk and unwind. A great place....we'll be back! (.... the best Tiramisu ever!) Thanks.

Just had lunch at this great new veggy/vegan Italian. Between us me and my wife shared bread and olives with fava bean dip then for main the gnocchi ragu and borlotti bean and pasta soup. All totally delicious.

Absolutely lovely restaurant, lovely service and great value for money food (and authentic) Would highly recommend!
