Limoncello Cambridge — Restaurant in Cambridge

By far the best Italian place in Cambridge I’ve visited - for their pizza and pasta. Pizza are must haves! Thin and light wood fired base and crust edges that stays crispy and not soggy despite being left out for a while. You can taste the freshness of each toppings, especially the sweetness and tanginess of their tomatoes and marina sauce. The pairing pizza base sauce of marinara and white sauces were well seasoned and sauced in the perfect amount, which compliments and balances other ingredients and toppings perfectly.

We only tried one pasta dish, but it left a good impression to predict other pasta dishes on the menu would taste equally good, or even better. Mafaldine pasta was cooked al dente, and the truffle béchamel mushroom and sausage sauce coated each strand of pasta. Seasoning is on point, rich taste from the truffle and bechamel but not too heavy.

We finished 2 antipasti, 3 medium sized pizza and a pasta amongst 4 of us and didn’t feel too stuffed from the carbs, and even have enough room for 2 plates of tiramisu dessert. We had the regular tiramisu and pistachio tiramisu. Pistachio one was on the sweeter side but the pistachio flavour is distinct. If only have space for 1, recommend getting the regular tiramisu if not a huge fan of sweeter-than-usual desserts.

All dishes were served in decent portion sizes and ingredients were not skimmed. High recommend, definitely my go to for Italian food.

Shout out to all the staff members and Andrea who treated everyone with so much friendliness, kindness and so patiently went through the menu as a first comer. Great service despite a busy night. Very...

We had the misfortune to visit Limoncello for lunch when visiting our son in Cambridge, If there’s one good thing about Limoncello then it’s the location.

It is bad sign when 90% of the menu is vegetarian, then you have an average of £12 for starters and £20 for main courses, I paid £75 for 3 main course a beer and 2 coffees. With wine glasses at £10 if we had ordered wine with our meal, we would had look at £105 for the check.

For a decent meal and good portions, you would not argue to pay over £100 for 3 meals. However, with Limoncello things are slightly different.

Limoncello turned out to be nothing more than frozen food heated in an commercial microwave with a single cherry tomatoes thrown in, and I am death serious on the fact of the single cherry tomato…!”.

Had visited Italy recently, Limoncello’s Italian food version was deplorable, though soulless and bland. We were so hungry we exited the restaurant and walked down the road looking for a place to eat some desserts.

Food was so bland and characterless and to add insult to the injury for £20 I received 7 to 8 tasteless raviolis that were completely dependent on the slathered sauce for any lifeline of flavour.

Considering the efforts other restaurant are making within the industry to deliver real value for money during these difficult times. Limoncello is serving a culinary embarrassment.

The only close to enjoyable was the ichnusa beer.

Inexcusably bad and overpriced food. Don’t eat here. Just don’t, not when there is such a selection of good restaurants across Cambridge that are...

Unfortunately I had a poor experience here on Saturday (29/1/22). I came here with two others and ordered drinks (tap water, apple juice and Americano) and three ciabattas but this took over half an hour to arrive; with the drinks arriving after the food. During the time in which we were waiting (outside), two other customers ordered and were served their food and drinks before us. These people seemed like friends of the owners and were regularly checked on by multiple members of staff which is fine but they were seemingly prioritised over us. We made a very simple order which made it hard for me to understand the wait time. The prices are high for otherwise average sandwiches but we knew the prices going in. The biggest issue about my experience came after the meal and is the only reason I’ve decided to write a review. When paying, the waitress who served us told me it was an inconvenience for her to take off the service charge, something that is not my problem. I would’ve paid it if the experience was better. When I brought up my issues I had over the long waiting time, I was given a vague excuse. I understand establishments can have issues but drinks coming after the food? Something I couldn’t understand which the waitress could only say “sorry about that” whilst doing something else. I saved my breath because she clearly didn’t care. It’s probably a good thing I didn’t get her name as I would have mentioned it in this review. I’ve had good experiences here before and love the aesthetic of this place but I won’t be back in a hurry....
