“ 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. ”
“ La Pergola is a true Italian restaurant. Great food, fresh ingredients, excellent service, and relaxed atmosphere. As italian myself, this is a great place to feel at home, and have real Italian food as if I were in Italy. The owner and his family are great, friendly and professional. I recommend this place 200%. ”
“ Great food & service! I’ve come here on several occasions through the years & it’s always maintained a great quality. The pizzas are great & I see many people ordering pizzas, but you should try the pasta and starters as well because everything is great On Sundays, you have to order 2 courses at least for lunch. But if you are too full, you can get the dessert to go. The tiramisu is an excellent option for that ”
“ I enjoyed a delightful Sunday dining experience at La Pergola. The highlight of my visit was their Sunday fixed price 2-course menu, offering any main, pizza, or pasta dish along with a dessert for 21.95. For starters, I indulged in the Scamorza In Carrozza—a heavenly creation of deep-fried breaded smoked mozzarella cheese, elegantly drizzled with a tantalizing balsamic glaze. The dish struck the perfect balance between crispy and creamy, setting the stage for a memorable meal. My choice for the main course was the Pappardelle Mare e Monti—a generous serving of wide strands of egg pasta adorned with a flavorful ensemble of wild mushrooms, prawns, and pancetta. The rich and creamy cream and white wine sauce elevated the dish, making each bite a harmonious blend of textures and tastes. Highly recommended for those seeking a Sunday feast outside Cambridge ”
“ A little bit of Italy in rural Cambridgeshire. Lively, full of Italian families (good sign) and special celebrations. Great selection of dishes on a Sunday (and when I've been other times too). It is quite hard to have a conversation because of the noise levels. ”
“ Been here many times and it is hands down the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to! Everything is very authentic and nothing feels pretentious or like they're trying too hard. They put in the perfect amount of effort. The owners and staff are all so friendly and welcoming. As a chef I can tell how much love and passion they put into the food and its beautiful to see! Strongly recommend and I plan on going back much more often! ”
“ It was a friend of ours who introduced this restaurant with us. Hidden from the bustle and hustle of the city, this Cambridgeshire restaurant offered the best authentic Italian cuisine with us. Any Italian restaurant I go to, I would actually order the most basic, safest pasta there is and it would carbonara as I love white sauce-based pasta. Yesterday, 8th October, I was curious and asked the staff which was their bestseller so I can try it and lo and behold, he wasn't wrong. Their pappardelle mare e monti is to die for! Well-seasoned food that even my husband who has no palate for seafood, loved it. My daughter was torn with her Margherita pizza and the pasta. Thank you to the staff for bringing Italy to us here in Cambridge. Hoping to be back again! ”
“ Stumbled across this little gem whilst en route to a show. We were looking for some good quick food. Walking in this place felt like we just teleported over to Italy We asked for quick service as we were in a rush and they were all happy to oblige. Amazing service, amazing food and a beautifully authentic experience highly recommended - we don’t live local, but will definitely be returning ”
