Maurizio Dining & Co. in Cambridge

A lovely unique place. Staff friendly,welcoming and knowledgeable. The food was amazing. Will definitely be visiting again.

Amazing food at a great price, plus really welcoming and accommodating staff! Couldn’t have asked for a better meal or better experience, will definitely be back

Casual Italian Restaurant The food tasted good. I love the unique smokey flavour of the pizza. The crust of the pizza was thin, not chewy. Tomato sauce of the pasta didn't taste sugary. You know, tomato sauce normally has more added sugar than we expected. The tiramisu tasted amazing. So airy and creamy, not too sweet at the same time. Reminds me of the tiramisu of Signorelli's Deli. It looks like a restaurant with history, as it looks so rustic. But still, everything was clean and tidy. The staff were very friendly to customers. I will return to try other pasta and pizza. And more tiramisu.

We had a pizza each and thought it was one of the best that we have ever tasted. Crispy at the edges but moist elsewhere with very tasty toppings. The service felt a little haphazard but there err a couple of large parties that came in at a similar time and in no way diminished our experience. Very relaxed atmosphere and a good selection of beers, wines - maybe need a little more choice on the soft drinks? Would certainly return if in Cambridge.

Food was great! Lovely flavours and very good sized portions. The service was a bit lacking which was a shame. We felt a bit forgotten about at times.

Great drinks! Dolce (lemon pudding) came completely frozen - which was clearly not supposed to be

Lovely atmosphere- genuinely Italian feel, amazing pesto gnocchi, would definitely go again

Delicious food, great wine, friendly service.

Lovely Italian restaurant with great atmosphere. Food was delicious. Great service

Amazing food and lovely staff!! Maurizio is a must if you’re in Cambridge!

La primera cena fue tan buena que tuve que volver para una segunda. Una de las mejores cosas de Maurizio es el personal! Katya (sp? ) es preciosa, y trabaja más duro que casi nadie en el restaurante. El propietario es una delicia, yendo de mesa en mesa para promocionar platos y vinos. Y el Chef es increíble, creando pastas, pizzas y más en un espacio pequeño con sabores grandes. ¡No te pierdas este lugar si estás en Cambridge!

Katia was very kind and helpful. Hope she would get a promotion. Foods were very nice. We had a great time here. Thank you Katia and other staff who served us.

Overall decent food, a little over priced but the vibes are great and definitely outweighed any minor issues A little bit chaotic but it was a particularly busy night! Food was ok - pasta portion was quite small for the ££. Pizza was very yummy and a good size! Service was charming but… inconsistent!

Delicious work meal with colleagues and a visiting academic. Food was authentic, delicious and with generous portions. The Limoncello was popular all round too. Thank you!

Their sixy sauce is incredible. One of the best pasta I have ever eaten!

I tried the gnocchi with bolognese, very delicious, I would have liked a little more quantity. The service was very good, the local people had very good energy, and they wanted to provide very good attention, always with good humor, a very homely, family atmosphere. I recommend these places they are not easy to find.

The staff had great energy and made the experience super welcoming and fun. The best tomato sauce I've ever tasted

Fantastic food, we all loved our pizza and pasta. Tasted so authentic and delicious. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. Only regret is wr didn't have room for dessert!

Absolute love it. Me and my partner really enjoyed the traditional flavours and vibes of a authentic Italian restaurant/pizzeria. Great people Great prices Amazing food! What more else you can really ask for?!

Visitamos hace unas semanas y tuvimos una comida encantadora, pizza muy buena sin embargo regresamos anoche y tuvimos una comida terrible, una pizza estaba 'descuidada', estaba tan húmeda que era imposible decir qué era queso o base, sí lo reemplazaron pero regresaron con uno que era principalmente tomate. Así que nuestra experiencia fue mixta, una muy muy buena y otra muy pobre, así que en el mejor de los casos inconsistente, así que desafortunadamente hemos decidido no arriesgar un regreso.

Came in for an early Valentine’s meal with my partner and OH MY this is the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to!! Very reasonably priced, incredibly fresh and tasty pasta dishes, beautiful homemade tiramisu, lovely atmosphere and SUPER friendly staff! It was our first time visiting and it won’t be our last, I can’t think of a single thing to fault this place. We shared a lovely bottle of Italian red wine but would love to come back to try all the different and wonderful negronis they have to offer. The waiter serving us had a smile at all times and was so friendly, and even put our limoncello on the house. Was a perfect choice for our date night and super happy we’ve found another amazing gem on Mill Road. Skip booking the chain restaurants that charge a fortune for food made with little love when you have a genuine family owned restaurant that does everything miles better!

Omg we really loved this place, food tastes really authentic and absolutely delicious. Family run business, felt like we were in Italy. Highly recommend this place.

Went for a lovely date here, food was impeccable and staff were really lovely

What a brilliant place, authentic Italian food, perfect drink selection, after meal cocktails are not a problem, as as for the owner he really delivers the best vibe, what a character he’s superb. I will return here for drinks alone, let alone the food. Best food I’ve ever had in Cambridge. As far as pizza goes in Cambridge this is a must try, Dave Portnoy alone would give this a 9.5 it is unbelievable, being brutality honest this is the best pizza in Cambridge by far

I, 22 years of age have lived in Cambridge my whole life and have visited what I believed was every restaurant in town however this establishment has transcended my perception of what a restaurant has to offer. We started off with the “whole buffalo mozzarella” which would not have tasted any more fresh, followed by the Italian Stallion pizza. Served exceptionally quickly, we were further amazed by the authenticity of the taste the meal had to offer; not to mention the negroni that complemented the meal altogether. Will be informing my friends and family that haven’t visited.

Absolutamente suprema cocina italiana. No podría recomendar este restaurante más. Recomiendo la pizza ‘Hey Gorgeous’. El entusiasmo y el conocimiento que el personal implementa en sus alimentos está fuera de lo normal. Además, la selección de bebidas complementa el fantástico menú hasta una T. Voy a volver!

Qué lugar tan bonito, la comida era fantástica, las bebidas eran brillantes, volvería solo para los negorinis, qué brillante vibra trajo este lugar

Me and my boyfriend decided to do a collection order from this wonderful place, we had never heard of it before , it did not disappoint, i had the ragu beef and it was so amazing and you could tell by the taste it was cooked amazingly and not fake meat, very pure meat. It was so amazing. Thank you so much, will definitely be coming back.

Fantastic tiramisu and pizza, very reasonably priced place for delicious food and the owners are a delight!

Nice food, but it's a bit cold in winter!

Good selection of cocktails (if you love Negronis, this is a great spot) and wines. The staff is always extremely friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious (pizzas are quite big)! We always love to come back here :)

Maurizio and his team welcomed us all for a Christmas meal and drinks and we all had the most wonderful time. The food was delicious and we were treated to some of the best mulled wine we've had in Cambridge. Thank you so much for your kindness and for taking so much care of us! I'm sure we'll be back....!

This is a little gem, food was great, staff were brilliant , had a very family feel in the restaurant and felt very welcome, would absolutely recommend and will be going back, this is my new favourite Italian restaurant.

Always loved. Welcoming atmosphere, tasty food, generous atmosphere.

Excellent venue for our Christmas Party. Food was amazing and the staff were excellent. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening

Amazing authentic italian food and beyond friendly staff!

great atmosphere and the owner was very funny and welcoming! food came quickly and was delicious. will definitely be visiting again!

Had an amazing experience with a large group, even after surprising them with no reservation and walking in right after they opened. We needed food, and drinks, and fast, all on a deadline before our good friends wedding festivities were kicking off with a welcome party later that eve. Maurizio was super kind, took charge, and offered to order for the table. The amount of food was perfect, the wine was on point, and most of all we had an incredible time overall! Would definitely head back here in a heartbeat, the food was excellent but the service was the best part and made for a super memorable evening and highlight of the trip!

Wow! Italian place run by italian people, is there anything else to add? Seriously, SO GOOD! Don't miss it, it feels like being in Italy for a tiny bit :)

Absolutely fantastic pizza and super atmosphere. Hidden gem’

Amazing dinner, They took care of everything from the beginning to end. Gorgeous service with lots of familiar space, quality products, very interesting customers around. Difficult to get a table but worth to wait. I'll be back to taste other pizzas l saw around. Good drinks , at the end ask a Negroni...

Extremely small and overpriced salad (caprese).

Fabulous 👌Family run restaurant! Food, atmosphere and staff all great. Sharing Cheese Board to start. Italian Stallion pizza was excellent and the GF pizza was the best ever. Chocolate salame and lemon pudding to finish... Stuffed and happy! Will definitely be back. 😊

Probably the best Italian restaurant in the British Isles. Go go go!

I come here for the fabulous fresh pasta and was not disappointed.

Really nice place for an evening meal and a cocktail. Had a great time. Thanks.

Cenamos aquí recientemente ya que era mi cumpleaños y nos dieron 2 tragos de limoncello en la casa! Gracias. Muy acogedor por el personal y muy educado camarero joven. Nos ofrecieron la opción de dónde sentarse y la camarera era bueno para hacernos saber información sobre los platos. A mi hija le encantó su pizza y yo tenía la pasta de carne (que podría haberse servido un poco más caliente y tal vez un poco de guarnición (pero eso es solo una muy leve crítica). Me encantó el ambiente y la cálida bienvenida y sin duda nos gustaría volver a cenar aquí en un futuro próximo.

A warm welcome and delicious food

Fácilmente la mejor comida italiana en Cambridge y entrega la mejor pizza auténtica fuera de Italia. Comer aquí varias veces y las maravillas siempre te hacen sentir como en casa!

Absolutely gem of a place, food was amazing service quick and friendly we will definitely be back.

Grace was amazing. We were so well looked after. Great evening

Fabulous pizza ….thebest I’ve had in Cambridge xx

An absolute waste of time and money! Never again!

Amazing authentic Italian food and wine, beautiful restaurant very different which I loved, Great hosts, nothing was too much trouble, We will be back

great food and drink and service from Grace

Fantastic food, service and experience. Strongly recommend.

They served us raw pasta and none of the waiters knew what was happening. Ultimately we waited an hour for them to realise they forgot about our order.

Very friendly, personable and helpful staff, tasty pizzas and some lovely happy hour cocktails!

A very sweet classic Italian restaurant. Admired their service and passion about their recipes

Really lovely place and friendly staff. Mansata was really good and very friendly. The food was delicious and quite reasonable too. Definitely need to come hungry

We booked Maurizio’s for a large work social event. It was first class, from the planning catering for 28 through to the evening. The food was fabulous, everyone happy. The team at Maurizio’s could not do enough for us. Thank you so much Sweet, Maurizio, Grace and the others. We will be back for sure 👌 🍕 🇮🇹

The most amazing pizza! Try the Lord Orly.....OMG. And some fabulous pasta too.

Super tasty pasta dishes and very nice chef ☺️

We had the best pizza we've ever eaten and the pasta sauces were delicious and fresh! On top of the amazing food, the waitress did everything to make us feel at home. The decor and music made us feel like we were visiting an old friend in Italy. Thank you for the great experience!

Amazing waiting skills, fast service, large pizza with delicious toppings, will be returning!

We had a lovely dinner with a large group. The service was excellent and the hosts tremendous. Would highly recommend.

I was browsing Mill Road for dinner on a Friday night and the delicious aromas of pizza made me pause and look at the menu. I was initially thinking of takeaway as I was a solo diner. Mansata the waitress kindly brought me into the restaurant and gave me some chilled water and table to decide what to choose. I decided upon the beef ragù pappardelle to takeaway. The menu is quite extensive - there is lots to choose from pizza, pasta and salads. Everything is made on site. Then after some consideration I decided to dine in and I’m glad I did, Mansata brought me to a window seat and the pasta was quick and did not disappoint. I had a Rataouille moment where I felt transported to Italy with the pasta. The beef mince was very tender and flavoursome. The pasta was one of the best I’ve tasted. Thank you to the chefs for bringing your authentic Italian expertise to Cambridge. Thank you to Mansata for your positive energy and warm hearted service - I probably would have missed out on the opportunity to try this delicious food without your amiable guidance. Highly recommend for authentic Italian food, friendly service and comfortable solo dining.

Absolutely fantastic food, warm and welcoming service by Maurizio and all the staff, and cosy atmosphere

I can't begin to express how delighted I am with this experience, from the moment I walked in and was greeted by a joyfull and precious young lady, to the food being served in what can only be described as record time and being so delicious. Wonderful experience and would definitely return here.

We were offered a welcoming short wine tasting by a brilliant young sommelier and learned about four new-to-us wines! This was free! We then started with the friarelli -- a dish I've only ever had in Italy -- turnip greens sautéed in olive oil and garlic -- fresh and delicious. Next was the pappardelle with country mushrooms and Tuscan sausage in a cream sauce -- velvety and unctuous! The 'Lord Orly' pizza with a thin, crispy crust, spicy n'juda tomato sauce, anchovies and olives might be one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten (although I tried the Larda Bianca and that is also delicious!) Our Barolo wine, a Valipocelli was a very wise choice (sommelier advice) to accompany the pizza -- it was strong, with a balance of tannins and dark fruit. We ended with the dessert 'Nutella Bella' with chocolate hazelnut spread generously across the pizza dough. The service was warm and friendly, the Patron, Maurizio, was welcoming and the atmosphere genial. I think Maurizio's is my new favourite Cambridge restaurant!

Great experience- Maurizio was engaging and helpful and helped me to build a meal the perfect size for dining on my own. One of their chefs was training out front and very helpful and ending as well. Wine was lovely, past was perfectly cooked, sauce was flavourful. I think the only possible improvement was the tomatoes in the caprese- not the rich, deep red I’d like to see but the accompanying buffalo mozzarella was soft and melt in your mouth. Excellent! Clean, cute bathroom with some humour and a bit of positive affirmation too- lovely touch. When I later met Sweet, we had an amazing chat. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in Cambridge. 7 out of 5 for atmosphere 🍷

Really weird experience. A while after ordering, we were told our group of 6 was too big, had ordered too many pasta dishes (5), and we needed to order a sharing pasta instead. With different dietary requirements and tastes, this didn't work for us. We couldn't understand why we needed to do this, and there was no warning on the menu or when our order was being taken. After several rounds of back and forth with the waiting staff (they were doing their best), we were told that the owner was adamant that we couldn't order 5 different mains, then later that if we really insisted they were willing to do it, but it would be at least a 45 minute wait. We'd already waited a while at this point so paid for our drinks and left. Still don't understand what happened, it's not a tiny restaurant so making five dishes shouldn't be unreasonable? We were the only table sat in our section on a Saturday evening, so expected better service. Edit: for the avoidance of doubt, I want to clarify that the wait time quoted wasn't the issue for us, it was just the final straw particularly given how it was delivered ('if you're really insistent on having different dishes...'). If we had been told before/when ordering (or shortly after) that there would be a wait as the owner suggests, it would have been fine. We really took issue with being told 2-3 times that it was impossible to have what we originally ordered. That conversation had already taken a long time and the experience had been soured, which is why we didn't want to wait longer. There were so many opportunities to explain the options we had that were missed and resulted in us feeling really confused and let down.

The absolute kindest staff! We were there to celebrate a birthday and the whole team made us feel right at home there- we were so appreciative. Highly recommend for a fun night in Cambridge with relaxed atmosphere and delicious food!

Amazing pizza, pasta and service. We will be back.

Fantastic meal. Food was amazing, the service was so friendly and helpful, and it was a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend

Fantastic pasta and the homemade chocolate salame(it's not meat) but it is the best sweet I've had in 4 years!! Absolutely recommend

Delicious food and lovely service!

Great little Italian spot! Can tell they care about their food and ingredients.

An amazing pizza and great service from Grace and Stefano 👍🙂🥰

We're so glad we skipped the restaurants in town and choose this delightful Italian restaurant on Mills Road. The food was authentic and delicious - possibly the best pizza we've ever had! The staff were warm and friendly and the Italian chef made everyone feel special. We totally recommend this restaurant.

Mi familia y yo tuvimos un tiempo espléndido en el restaurante italiano que era tan encantador, eran tan serviciales - tuvimos la tabla misto, semental italiano, proshiuto y hongos, pasta pesto. ¡Todos los cuales eran deliciosos! Debido a que era la graduación de mi hijo, el propietario nos dio a todos una inyección de limón en la casa (: gracias por la experiencia gastronómica encantadora!

Visited with a friend on a Saturday evening (22 June) as several friends/colleagues had recommended it. We had high hopes and were looking forward to visiting. I don't usually post reviews but got to say we were extremely unimpressed. We arrived about 8.30pm and were shown to a table and given menus. We were then abandoned/ignored for around 25 minutes. Nobody came to take a drinks/food order, despite it being quiet - most other people had already eaten. We tried getting the waitresses' attention and even shouted over but were still ignored. We were about to leave when the waitress eventually came to take our food order. We had to point out that we still wanted drinks as she only offered to take food orders. The food then arrived very quickly. We ordered a garlic bread pizza as a starter but our mains (two pasta dishes) arrived without any mention of the garlic bread, which we eventually received as an addition to the mains rather than a starter. The food wasn't good - the pasta tasted like it was out of a packet with a sauce quickly thrown on it. Both mains were served on a pizza-type plate rather than bowl so the presentation was also unimpressive. We both said we could have made the meal ourselves at home for a fraction of the price. In fact, the olives were the best part of the meal. We quickly finished and ordered the bill. It overall had a 'kids left in charge' feel to it - very unprofessional and amateurish, to say it's not exactly the cheapest of restaurants. It was not what we were expecting. The images of food on the website are very different to what we were served so maybe it was a particularly bad day. We certainly won't be returning and have informed our other friends/colleagues that it's very much gone down hill. There are plenty of better options in the Mill Road area, Beduoin is a particular favourite.

Mark be (1 comentario) Visita con un amigo un sábado por la noche (22 de junio) como varios amigos / colegas lo habían recomendado. Teníamos grandes esperanzas y estábamos deseando visitar. No suelo publicar reseñas, pero tengo que decir que estábamos muy poco impresionados. Llegamos sobre las 8. 30 pm y fueron mostrados a una mesa y menús dados. Luego fuimos abandonados / ignorados durante unos 25 minutos. Nadie vino a tomar un pedido de bebidas / comida, a pesar de ser tranquilo - la mayoría de las otras personas ya habían comido. Intentamos llamar la atención de las camareras e incluso gritamos, pero aún así fuimos ignorados. Estábamos a punto de irnos cuando la camarera finalmente vino a tomar nuestro pedido de comida. Tuvimos que señalar que todavía queríamos bebidas, ya que ella solo se ofreció a tomar pedidos de comida. La comida llegó muy rápido. Pedimos una pizza de pan de ajo como entrada, pero nuestra comida principal (dos platos de pasta) llegó sin ninguna mención del pan de ajo, que finalmente recibimos como una adición a la comida principal en lugar de un entrante. La comida no era buena - la pasta sabía como si estuviera fuera de un paquete con una salsa rápidamente echado en él. Ambos platos principales se servían en un plato tipo pizza en lugar de en un tazón, por lo que la presentación tampoco fue impresionante. Ambos dijimos que podríamos haber hecho la comida nosotros mismos en casa por una fracción del precio. De hecho, las aceitunas eran la mejor parte de la comida. Rápidamente terminamos y pedimos la factura. En general tenía una sensación de "niños a cargo" - muy poco profesional y amateur, para decir que no es exactamente el más barato de los restaurantes. No era lo que esperábamos. Las imágenes de la comida en el sitio web son muy diferentes a lo que nos sirvieron, así que tal vez fue un día particularmente malo. Ciertamente no vamos a volver y hemos informado a nuestros otros amigos / colegas que ha bajado colina abajo. Hay un montón de mejores opciones en la zona de Mill Road, Beduoin es un favorito en particular.

The best pizza in Cambridge, and amazing negroni cocktails.

Not very busy - which was a shame. Lovely waiting staff and really really good pizza - Had a Aperil spritz and that was perfect. Hubby had a beer - we will return.

Really great food and service. One of best Italian restaurants I've had a chance to eat in. Definitely recommend, and definitely I'll come back!!

Me and my husband waited 45 mins for two margherita pizzas, olives and green salad. We ordered sparkling water which wasnt available at the restaurant. We ordered at 19:00 and there was no food until second waitress noticed asked us whether we ordered and told her 40 mins ago. The pizza came burnt not charred, nothing special. Tomato sauce is too thick. (tasting too puree like) The salad and olives was ok. The second waitress was nice enough to deduct service charge and apologised from us.

Our first visit. Very tasty Pizzas and drinks, very friendly service and we really liked the ambience! Thank you very much for this great experience!

Our first visit tonight. Great tasty Pizzas and drinks, very friendly service and we really liked the ambience! Thank you for a special evening!

Unfortunately this wasn’t a good experience. I love Italian food and had some expectations but this was a disappointing visit with below average food. The food in general didn’t taste good, my pizza was extremely average to poor with a floppy base and low quality sauce, my friends pizza “couldn’t be more average”, so yes, not the best. Our green salad was boarder-line awful, with a terrible dressing with a very low quality balsamic / olive oil and a very poor mix of ingredients including olives which had almost disintegrated into a fermented mess. With two glasses of (very average - sorry) house wine it cost over 60 pounds and we felt very shortchanged. The waitress was quite patronising as well. We spotted a mistake when we received the bill and they didn’t acknowledge it. Rather, she ignored it when we asked about it and insisted that it’s correct. But when we were about to pay, she took the money off and charged the correct amount. Why not just admit your mistake!? Overall very disappointing!

Great service, delicious food, great homey vibe. They have the best prosciutto ever. 🌸 The mill road fair today they had the Best mulled wine ever!! 🍷

My friends and I had a wonderful experience at Maurizio's celebrating one of our birthdays. Our hostess was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the dinner service, offering us advice and help with unfamiliar menu items. Despite leaving past closing time, she even offered us all free limoncello shots upon finding out the occassion. As for the food, the la larda bianca pizza and seasonal gnocchi special(which I hope will become a permanent menu item) were exquisite, achieving a rare feat of both perfect texture and incredible taste. As loyal customers of Maurizio's for the last 1.5 years, we have never had a bad experience and it was this outstanding display of both culinary skill and customer service that prompted us to write this review. It is difficult to imagine a better pizzeria than Maurizio's who, in our opinion, serves nothing less than the finest pizza in all of Cambridge.

Honestly the most amazing pizzas in the world. Hand made my an Italian family the traditional way. The Lord Orla pizza ( anchovies, spicy relish , blue cheese and olives ) is simply a masterpiece. And wines all very reasonable and tasty

Came here with my partner on a Friday night. We ordered the mixed antipasti board to share as a starter, then 2 x pizzas (one with anchovies and capers, the other with gorgonzola and giancale). We were a bit disappointed with the antipasti - it was expensive and could have done with some olives, relish, etc. But the pizzas were amazing! Thin and crispy and so much flavour in the toppings. I would go as far as to say they were the best pizzas we’ve had in Cambridge. Overall it was a lovely evening and wouldn’t hesitate to eat here again in future.

Amazing for venues! Had our cheerleading annual dinner there and the food and service was impeccable! ◡̈

My favourite Italian spot in Cambridge. Food is excellent, atmosphere is warm and service is great.

6 of us went for my husbands birthday. Staff very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and home made. Will definitely go back.

A warm and welcoming ambiance to celebrate a family birthday. As close to a genuine taste of Italy as possible. We will return soon.

Amazing food and perfect service! My new favourite restaurant in Cambridge.

Warm and friendly service with quality Italian food and wine. Particularly recommend the tiramisu.
