Testimonials

My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday night for our two year anniversary. The staff, especially Luke and Emelia are so friendly and personable and gave us great recommendations on an already wonderful menu. We ordered the antipasti appetizer the pumpkin gnocchi, and a pepperoni pizza, and all were wonderful! The tiramisu is also a great dessert addition and would highly recommend if there is any left. The atmosphere of the restaurant is quite unique as it is a grocery and deli during the day. 

If you are visiting Cambridge this authentic Italian is well worth a visit and should not be missed!

Trip Advisor

What a great night out. What a find. From the outside you will not get the full picture. Venture in and go to the rear enclosed garden. The service was first class, our waiter knew his food and drink. Great recommendation for wine as our first choice had sold out. His choice so good so good we had two bottles. The food was pure Italian. Beautifully served and presented and the quality of produce very good, and the taste....heaven. A great night out for the two of us, when in town next will definitely return

I haven't given many reviews in the last 18 months for obvious reasons.
But I also feel that Cambridge has very little to offer, in terms of good eateries, so there hasn't been much to say until just this week.

Limoncello used to be a nice little Deli selling Italian produce. Way over priced, but decent selection of stuff.
They gradually added a cafe set-up and then opened their garden with a more full food menu.

WOW!

Huge improvement. The deli is much smaller, but still there. The focus is clearly now on table service, indoors and out. GREAT DECISION!
They have a simple, no frills menu. Reasonably priced with good selection of panini's, some mains and desserts.
Lovely service. Good tasting food. Casual atmosphere and beautiful garden seating.

I feel it's the best option for spontaneous people in the neighbourhood to pop in and chill out with a nice glass of wine and a comforting meal.

Unlike many other Cambridge cafes/restaurants, Limoncello doesn't serve poor quality food at high prices.

They have struck the balance just right!
