Knockout!

Knockout! Paul found us a table for two and settled us in. The menu was excellent with a great choice of food. The food was superb and freshly cooked so not quick, but so worth the short wait. The service was excellent and the staff...were super friendly. Great vibe. Very highly recommended. Thank Paul and team.More

Best Italian in Cambridge!

I love this place, it's one of the few good restaurants in Cambridge. Authentic Italian run by owner Paul, who's extremely friendly and has a great team. The head chef's personality matches his brilliant cooking. Excellent seafood risotto!!!

Good location & food

Ate a early dinner before going onto the theatre. The service was friendly, the food obviously freshly prepared and delicious. The selection of homemade breads were very good and there is reasonably priced wine list. Located near the heart of Cambridge. Overall, a good dinner...and we would use regularly if we lived in Cambridge.More

Great place for a group gathering

Wonderful evening at De Luca! We were a group of 18 plus 2 babies in the function room and Paul and his team managed everything so well. The food was delicious and service was so efficient and friendly. So pleased we chose this restaurant.

The best pasta and friendly service in town

I came for a business dinner and was blown out by the quality of food and friendliness of service in this place. The special homemade pasta was simply the best I have ever had; a large portion, excellent quality and abundance of ingredients, excellent in...every way! I then came back with my wife and the food and service would even better - TOTALLY recomment this hidden gem to everyone living here or just visiting Cambridge. You’ll be in for a treat with a true Italian hospitality!More

DeLuca's Is Amazing - Enjoy!

We lived in Italy, DeLuca's feels like Italy. Their sauces are rich and flavorful. Their pasta is fresh and perfectly cooked. Their staff is warm, welcoming and attentive. And have dessert- it's just as delicious as the rest of the meal. DeLuca's is the real...thing. Enjoy!More

We’ve never booked as many not ever been to the cocktail bar, but it is in a busy stretch for restaurants & bars so I would suggest it probably a good idea.
