Tradizioni — Restaurant in Cambridge

The food? STUNNING. Would absolutely recommend.

My wife and I managed to escape parenthood (When you have children you revert back to being a teenager yourself and having to ask your parents if you're allowed to go out) for a rare last-minute date night and booked Tradizioni just a few days before for 9:15 pm. We arrived about 15 minutes early and were welcomed with a warm smile before being taken straight to our table early with no issue.

The service was brilliant. Giving us just enough time to settle in and browse the menu before being offered drinks, allowing us to order at our own pace. We started with a shared starter (anti-pasti, antipasti?) that was fantastic, followed by pasta dishes (my wife had the Carbonara and I had the Black Truffle pasta with egg tagliateli

(Ordered for Takeaway from JustEat) Vegan Options? Yes! TL;DR - Last Paragraph

Being vegan, my usual go-to are the Vegan Pesto Pizza (with Cherry Tomatoes & Mushrooms) and Vegan Mix Pizza (with Courgette, Olives, Mushrooms, Aubergine), both are vegan [Half for £8.00, Whole for £14.00]. I love their sweet and tangy tomato base sauce. The vegetable toppings are always fresh, sweet and well-seasoned. The vegan pesto adds a refreshing peppery taste to the pizza. Their pizza dough is not as thin based as what I usually prefer, but the thickness of the dough is just right with the chewy and fluffy quality it has to it. Something about their dough – that to me is like a mix between focaccia (which they do as well!) and pizza dough quality – which I like. Although, the last time I ordered it for takeaway – it was a bit too oily… not too sure it was olive oil drizzled on after it was baked or if it’s from the dough itself. Still, fresh and generous toppings.

Their pastas are alright, nothing to shout about (and a bit overpriced in my opinion) especially if you are just ordering the vegan options (tomato based). Once, I also ordered the Bruschetta [£4 for 4 slices] variety, thankfully their service is great as usual as they gave me 4 vegan options (I ordered via JustEat). All 4 options were delicious! Generously topped with fesh tomatoes, rich mushroom, hummus and tasty artichokes respectively.

All in all, I frequent at Trattoria (mostly Takeaway, never dined in before) and definitely recommend Trattoria for tasty and cheap pizza (and focaccia!) that is substantial and generous with...

Dining Club Meal-Friday 29 August 2025 My sister and I were the hosts for this meal, and our friends the father and the daughter were the guests, my sister and I arrived at the restaurant, to see our guests already seated and waiting for us to arrive, we went to where our guests were seated, and a waiter soon arrived, to ask us if we wanted a bottle each of both sparkling and still water, to which we all said yes, and soon, one bottle of each quickly arrived, when all our glasses were filled, the waiter returned to take our drinks order. The drinks order went as follows: a pint of Shandy and a Diet Coke, and two Alcohol Free Peronis for the daughter, an Alcohol Free Peroni for my sister, and two San Pellegrino Fizzy Blood Orange Drinks in Cans for myself, the father did not order any Alcoholic drinks, as he told us that he has given up drinking Alcohol, and we all said that was a very commendable thing to do.

We did not order any Starter Meals, so we ordered Mains, which were two Pinsa romana Cotto e Funghi, which are two Pizzas with Tomatoes, Mozzarella Cheese, Mushrooms, and Ham, for myself and the Daughter, my sister had the Ortolana, which was Tomatoes, Mozzarella Cheese, Courgettes, Aubergines, and Broccoli, and the Father had Lamb Shoulder Steak medium rare, with Chips, a Mixed Salad, and Garlic Mayonnaise.

For the dessert, the daughter had Profiteroles, and the Father, my sister and myself we all...
