Limoncello
We're proud to have such a wonderful place for people to relax and have an Aperol Spritz. Open in all weathers due to our louvred roof gazebo, we offer a fantastic array of traditional Italian pizza & antipasti. 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!

Great italian food and menu. Quaint atmosphere and rear seating great in summer. Deli/restaurant is great idea, as you can buy what you eat!

We has a lovely evening at limoncello. The staff were incredibly friendly and the food was delicious- the pizza, gnocchi and olives were all to die for! The restaurant was on the pricey side, but it was perfect for a special occasion.

Love it here. I miss my holidays in Italy but fuel and energy charges in the UK are too expensive so I can't afford to go away but i will be taking a trip to this restaurant whenever I need an Italian hit.

Not great. Went for lunch. Nearly £50 for 4 panini's and 4 coffees. Decidedly average food. Nothing outstanding. I had a latte which was 'warm' asked for a coffee that was hot got another 'warm' one. They added a 10 % service charge to the bill. Don't bother. I know it Cambridge but it is expensive and not worth the money.

The best espresso in Cambridge, that I've tasted. Friendly staff, they've made an effort for small talk. Good selection of Italian goodies, and before I forget nice Italian music. Thank you for your hospitality.

The pumpkin gnocchi was literally the best gnocchi I've ever had. The baked camembert could have been a bit strong tho. Very generous portions of Tiramisu.

This place looks as a deli from outside, but they managed to create a really nice open space in the back, where they serve a nice menu of Italian dishes. We tried to pizzas, there were okay, the dough was not very puffy and a bit on the crunchy side, but the taste was good and the ingredients on top really nice, I guess those are the same they sell in the deli. So in general a nice place and we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for saving my day Limoncello! I bought some ice cream as a treat but unfortunatelly they fell down after just after leaving the shop 😭 Luckily, lovely staff of Limoncello offered me new portion when I came back sad about loosing my ice cream ♥️ I will be definitely back! They also have delicious olives and cheeses and some other Italian products that I haven’t tried yet, but planning to come for a dinner soon :)

So this is listed as a deli or coffee shop but in fact it's also a 6 table excellent Italian restaurant including a creative Italian wine list. We've eaten here several times and never disappointed. Excellent tortillini (sp) and try the haloumi salad, drizzled with balsamic vinegar, superb! And the olive plate for starter, there must be 15 different kinds of olives. Pizzas look pretty creative too though we haven't tried yet. Be aware it closes early (8 pm on a Friday night) so check their closing times before you go. Also have gelato... And all reasonably priced.

Great home made pasta, mediocre pizza. It's a good lunchtime spot. We heard that the ciabattas were very good but never tried them.

Came back for the pasta but it was severely overcooked the second time around. I couldn't even get through half of it. I won't be coming back. I'm not sure how well this place will do long term as there are much better Italian delis closeby.

My husband and I just moved to Cambridge from coffee-centric Portland, and were hoping to find a good coffee place with reasonable prices. Sure enough, the barista here knew just how to make us a perfect espresso and mocha, and did it the good old fashioned way rather than with the automated machines you see in Starbucks these days (at least in the States). He was friendly and the shop had a peaceful atmosphere. We'll be returning!

A good little deli, with cheese, charcuterie, and coffee. They also offer some fresh pastas, pesto, an olive bar, and pizza dough. Expensive, but if you crave nice jamon or speck and don't have time to go to London, then this is a good option.

Absoultely stunning if you are looking for anything Italian this is the place to come. It is stacked as far as the eye can see with Italian delicasies and delights. A brilliant place if you are having an impromtu dinner party or just a nice romantic dinner.

Limoncello is the perfect deli. Stacked to the rafters with sweet and savoury treats from Italy and elsewhere, this place is dangerously delightful. I walked in in search of some stilton and came out loaded with perishable goods I could neither afford nor resist.


The helpful advice and generosity provided by the shopkeeper makes a visit to this deli a treat in itself. I was plied with tasty morsels and left pining for what I imagine to have been the Golden Era of pre-supermarket Victorian England: if only all shops were like this today.
