I haven't given many reviews in the last 18 months for obvious reasons.
But I also feel that Cambridge has very little to offer, in terms of good eateries, so there hasn't been much to say until just this week.

Limoncello used to be a nice little Deli selling Italian produce. Way over priced, but decent selection of stuff.
They gradually added a cafe set-up and then opened their garden with a more full food menu.

WOW!

Huge improvement. The deli is much smaller, but still there. The focus is clearly now on table service, indoors and out. GREAT DECISION!
They have a simple, no frills menu. Reasonably priced with good selection of panini's, some mains and desserts.
Lovely service. Good tasting food. Casual atmosphere and beautiful garden seating.

I feel it's the best option for spontaneous people in the neighbourhood to pop in and chill out with a nice glass of wine and a comforting meal.

Unlike many other Cambridge cafes/restaurants, Limoncello doesn't serve poor quality food at high prices.

They have struck the balance just right!

Lovely atmosphere, good food - although some people wanted a slightly larger portion size. Nice wine and the espresso martini was enjoyed by many.
