The best restaurants serving Italian food in Cambridge East of England

Had a lovely meal before a show. Our waiter Henry was great he looked after us and was very pleasant.

Food was tasty, though there was not a huge range of main dishes and portions were on the small side. The service was good initially then non-existent. It appeared that staff were inexperienced and mostly unsupervised. To elaborate.... Though we'd made a reservation, no-one checked it. Three different waiters tried to take our drinks and food orders, each unaware of what the others had done. The main dishes arrived quickly, after which we were abandoned We waited 45 mins after finishing the mains to order and receive desserts. No cutlery was provided and the staff were all but invisible. By the time the spoons had been brought, the ice cream accompanying the dessert had mostly melted.

The service was not the best, we had to wait to be served a very long time that we thought to walk out. Pizza is okay but the toppings are below average.

Really nice atmosphere and the food was outstanding. A real hidden gem.

Just wanna give some credit where it’s due. I haven’t tried EVERY pizza place in Cambridge. But from what I have tried, and to my tastes, this is probably the best. This is maybe my third time trying pizza 1889? It’s simple, thin enough, not too doughy, baked well with a crispy bottom and crispy crust, it doesn’t flop everywhere! And it tastes good. It’s not trying too hard like some other places, (no disrespect). It’s a surprising conclusion, since a shipping container outside the light cinema isn't what you’d expect to be the best, but it’s true. Dave wouldn’t go crazy with the score, but I think it’d be respectable. We are in Cambridge after all haha. For context I always get takeaway here, my review does not reflect dining at the container itself, (the prospect of which I’m not particularly attracted by).

Very good value meals that were quite tasty Abience inside are not all that good as its just a brighty lit big single room..abit like a village social club. Drinks were normally priced.....The area was abit rough..we were confronted by a couple of Arbury boys on the way out asking for ciggerettes..nothing more All in all a ok pub.

Ordered pizza via Deliveroo - was promised it in 40 mins. Turned up over 3 hrs late when we had gone to bed. No refund through the restaurant or Deliveroo. Both saying the other are responsible. Stay clear of both!
