LA PERGOLA AT THE WHEATSHEAF REVIEWS

I have to give this Italian Gem 5 stars. I love that it’s very authentic Italian. The waiters have an Italian accent and its charming. The food is absolutely delicious and transported me back to Rome and Sicily. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. The decor is very outdated but they focus on their food which to me is more important anyway.

Fabulous food, good service and great atmosphere. Very reasonable prices for what is really, really good food. Portion sizes were excellent and the carbonara was one of the best I've ever had.

Loved it! Strong feeling of a family run restaurant. Excellent food! Was fully booked when we went - rightfully so - so we sat in the bar area. Cambridge’s hidden gem.

DE LUCA CUCINA & BAR REVIEWS

Amazing service, went here for a birthday meal and the staff were so lovely in helping celebrate! The personal touch with a birthday card plus sparkler was greatly appreciated. The food was brilliant, the king prawn starter was my personal favourite. Will definitely be visiting again.

What a delicious meal! I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone. I found the Squid starter especially delicious and would say that the service was nothing short of exceptional. The waiter was charming, warm, professional and polite and was quick to give great guidance and recommendations.

If you want authentic Italian De Luca’s is the place. Great food (especially the prawn starter which was REALLY tasty), welcoming staff and an overall very enjoyable meal out.

ZIZZI CAMBRIDGE REVIEWS

Second time here and so pleased they’ve kept the vegan options!! I’ve seen pizza express remove all their vegan options but Zizzi’s continues and it’s wonderful. Quick service and staff were super helpful trying to find us a seat. Delicious and fresh meal. Would come again and again!.

The atmosphere,the food and the staff were amazing. The bolognese was amazing.

Excellent service and amazing food. Everything we ordered was very flavourful and the right amount.
