  I’ve been in Cambridge with my family and we stopped in this very interesting Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was great as well as the service and food was delicious! We... read more had a selection of mixed starters and a main course, with coffee and dessert in the end and literally every dish was fantastic. The owner and the waiters take care of you since the moment you step in and price is not bad at all.
I totally recommend to stop by if you’re in Cambridge, because you won’t regret it.

In particular, we love the wine selection and would highly recommend the establishmentespecially in the upcoming summer months when the sun is shining and the outdoor sitting area is open (like today!).

  My Grandad is a regular here, and he wondered if the manager Ab would remember him as he hadn't been for a while.

The food was fantastic, I had the prawns to start followed by the seabass, and finally the profiteroles. All three courses were absolutely delicious. Ab and his wife Ramona were lovely, and really looked after us. We'll be back! 🙂

  Disappointing Italian restaurant located in a basement.
Drinks: my Aperol Spritz was bitter rather than sweet and was a stingy portion; my partner received a brand of beer which was... read more different to the brand requested.
Starter: this platter of cold meats, vegetables, olives, calamari and shrimp in a tomato sauce was the best thing about the whole dinner. Note, though, that this was £10.50 per person, making it £21 for us two.
Mains: we have severe issues with our mains. I had the carbonara. The pasta was al dente to the point of being undercooked. I visited Italy a couple weeks ago so I know al dente, but this was verging on brittle. There was barely any meat. Was not offered parmesan. My partner had a seafood spaghetti with about 3 muscles and 2 shrimp. His spaghetti was sincerely undercooked and the tomato sauce is the blandest, most watery sauce I have ever had. His was about £15! Both portions were outrageously large so we got them boxed up - we will add our own meat and sauce at home!
Dessert: an adequate but overpriced tiramisu.
Staff: mixed experiences with the staff. We waited a lot - to be seated (despite many empty tables), for a second menu, to order, for the food itself, even to pay! Furthermore, I am certain the menu (the dessert menu) says the service charge is 10% but our bill had 12.5%. The male staff were not warm - almost begrudging our presence - while the female staff were ok - though seemingly all expected us to clear the two other places of our four person table!
Environment: like walking back in time to an early 00s club. Music choices are questionable - going between Christmas songs and rock/pop, the bass of which makes a thudding in the confined, window-less basement. The lights are harsh and unshielded, and bounce around the room in the various mirrors. Even the menus themselves are scruffy, with dozens of scribbles and hastily crossed out prices drawn back on in pen.
Considered whether to give 1 or 2 stars. Have opted for 1 because the starter and dessert don't really make up for an otherwise entirely awful evening and the venue fails to provide decent, cooked through food delivered by approachable humans - the basic function of a restaurant and the thing we pay for.

The manager is abliging and friendly. They have heaters out side and you have a choice open air or under cover. Quite accomodating. I also had complementary bread and olive oil. Nice touch. I will continue to dine here forsure.
