Great place to enjoy a traditional Italian meal, with the highest quality ingredients. The prices are kept affordable because there is a choice of just a few mains each day. You could enjoy a quick drink or snack, but the emphasis is on spending a few hours over your meal. This is rare, as most places want you in and out quickly. There are just a few tables, generously spaced around the restaurant. Clearly the furniture was selected for its appearance and comfort, rather than its maximum seating capacity. Enjoy it now before there is a waiting list.
Took friends for an evening at this wonderful place and, two weeks later, they are still raving about it. They've returned to London, spreading the word that "Cambridge has the best new restaurant". Thank you, Maurizio and Sweet, for delicious fresh food, the perfect aperol spritz and the most fun dining experience around.
Excellent Service, Authentic Pizza….
From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by staff, and throughout the meal, Lois our server, provided top-notch customer service. She was incredibly attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed and ensuring our dining experience was perfect.
The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the pizza. It transported me back to Italy with its authentic taste and flavour. The secret, I believe, lies in the fresh ingredients they use, which make every bite a burst of deliciousness. I am already craving another visit to savour that mouth-watering pizza again!.
The only minor inconvenience we encountered was the lack of an on-site car park, as the restaurant is situated in the high street. However, this was quickly resolved as we discovered off-street and other nearby lanes offering convenient parking options.

Simply excellent!
The pizza was the best I have eaten in the UK so far. The tomato sauce is not the standard British sauce (which tastes horribly in a pizza), they prepare it freshly every day and one (at least, an italian person ;)) can really taste the difference. The dough is also well prepared.
The tiramisù was the best I have ever eaten! Although I was already super full after the pizza, I don't regret that I ordered it!
The owner, Maurizio, is such a nice person, he goes around the tables and make sure that everything is good. The atmosphere is super nice.
Highly recommended!
Lovely Italian restaurant with a family ambiance. We had some pizza and pasta, starting with a bruschetta. All of it was delicious. Staff were friendly and I loved watching the chef make our pizza while dancing to some tunes on the radio. Good vibes 😎
We called up as it was close to closing time just to check if there was any chance we could still get a meal. The head waitress kindly held the kitchen open for longer for us. Not only this but the food as always was amazing, easily one of if not the best pizza restaurant in Cambridge.
What an amazing place for Italian food on Mill road. I have been here a few times, the last time was a few weeks back. Maurizio is such a great host and the food hereplace never disappoints. This time we tried the dirty bread and it looks simple but is delicious. We went for the specials based on the recommendation and even got a special that was off the menu. A pleasant little surprise was when Maurizio suddenly turned up with some extra guanciale for the pasta just because!. Dessert was great too.. it was something I never tried before, it was a disc with dried fruits dusted with sugar and served with a lovely dessert wine. Fantastic food and service. Looking forward to going back again soon and some more guanciale!
A good spot for new and veteran daters. The pizza was the best I've had in Cambs. The gluten free pizza was spot on!
We had a best pizzas in the town.
I personally think is a doudh its a main ingredient in the pizza, and Maurizio is make it absolutely perfect.
We had Italian, Beefy and Lord Orli, and all of them been great.
Also we been look after, Lisa been keep eye and been really helpful with a menu, and been on time, she looks young, but looks like she know, what she's doing.
Overall, we had a pleasant time, and had a really nice tasty food.Btw, artichoke and garlic is absolutely killer, is one of the best starters we ever had. It's light and it's so powerful and tasty.
Thank you guys, will visit again.

I've left several Google reviews in the past few years, often claiming that the food is great. But wow, I feel like I need to alter stars on other reviews as never have I been to somewhere so welcoming and experienced the most incredible food.
From the minute we entered the restaurant, Maurizio was so welcoming and took time to come and chat to us even though we later learnt that he spends time in the kitchen too. He introduced us to his homemade tomato sauce and chilli relish about 3 minutes after stepping through the door. I actually felt as though I was visiting family, I was made to feel so comfortable.
We chose bruschetta and the dirty bread for starters. I would never in a million years chosen the dirty bread, but Maurizio sold it so well with the homemade tomato sauce and chilli relish - no regrets, would highly recommend.
The special of the day was tortellini in the homemade tomato sauce, which my partner opted for and I went for an 'easy cheasy' with mushrooms and olives - both fantastic and very tasty.
To top it all off we couldn't leave without trying the chocolate salame (homemade, of course - there's a running theme here!), Which was outstanding!
To Maurizio, your partner and your team... We had such a wonderful evening and when next in the area we will be sure to return.
The photos really do not do this food justice.
P.s. the new team are doing just great 😊
The food was great just like the atmosphere. The atmosphere could be a bit more Authentic Italian but overall a good vibe. For the pizza’s there weren’t many options I fancied but they have a large selection of pizza’s and some pasta’s aswell. Dessert was awesome aswell and we even got limoncello on the house (they do it almost all the time so give it a try). But where this restaurant really shines is the helpfulness and the friendliness of the staff. We mainly got served by Lisa and we had such an amazing conversation and she had the best energy I ever felt. She was the sweetest and treated you with upmost care and basically like family. If you’re around go here, have a nice pizza and a cocktail and make sure you chat to the servers if the restaurant is not too busy!!
