Very good food with large tasty portions. The staff was very helpful, everything we needed was immediately there to help and serve us.
the store does not have parking very close so you have to look for it well around. The environment and the decor, nice but not something special.
But at the end of the day food is what counts and believe me it will compensate you.

The food here is delicious! They have a big selection of things to choose from and all reasonably priced. I would particularly recommend the Norma pizza - the aubergine on it was so crisp and tasty. Would be nice to see the interior decor be changed up a bit to make it feel more its own place (it’s quite similar to the restaurant that was here before), but still has a nice atmosphere regardless.

First of all we've been lucky enough to get a place in this restaurant without any booking in advance. It is a busy place because they serve real Italian food which is always popular and tasty. We enjoyed our meal and nice service. I would definitely recommend this place. There is also an option to get it delivered. I had a sea bass and my friend had pasta with Italian sausage. I've tried his food too. Delizioso!
Edit: I've been there for a lunch after some time. The place still doesn't disappoint and I enjoyed even more because it wasn't too busy.

Al Pomodoro has recently moved and reopened on Hills road. It is very busy since, but we managed to get a table for a small dinner. The menu is very extensive including many vegetarian and other choices, so we will be back to try more dishes. So far, it is delicious. I liked the orecchiette. It does get quite noisy when it's busy. The bathrooms are clean and nice.

We enjoyed a really nice dinner here. It was easy to book online and we got seated just before it got really busy in the restaurant. The menu looked great with a lot of seafood dishes, I was a bit hesitant to try the seafood since Cambridge isn't anyway near the sea but the seafood dishes ended up being the best of the night!. We ordered the seafood and meat Arancini out of which the seafood one was hands down better for me. Our mains were the seafood linguine and meat risotto, my partner found the risotto too watery and added quite a bit more parmesan to make it creamy. My seafood linguine was amazing, i don't know if they used a broth but the linguine tasted just like the sea. Delicious! Dessert was the fried pizza dough with Cinnamon sugar which was light and airy. Very tasty. Only thing I would recommend was the restaurant felt like a showroom with all the lights on and everything ramped up to full brightness. A little gentler lighting or even switching off half the bright lights would have helped the atmosphere be a bit more intimate and less like a showroom/laboratory. But otherwise would recommend, Be warned portions are huge so go hungry!

Highly authentic family run restaurant, with an extensive menu and generous portions. We had the Ele pizza and the seafood linguine and tiramisu for dessert. Plenty of families eating here with children well catered for. Some of the best Italian food in the city.

We enjoyed our experience overall: staff was welcoming and nice, although we had to wait for our drinks for a long time.
Food was great apart from octopus which in my opinion was undercooked.
Also, I didn't like toilets here, not very clean and the hand wash tap will sprinkle you because of its location and the water flaw.

The truly authentic Italian food was severed promptly with generous portions.

We sampled several wines and were very pleased by our selection. The staff was second to none waiting on our every need. Topped off with desert that everyone enjoyed....we still could not eat all of the food.... they generously wrapped the food to take home.

We 100 percent recommend this restaurant with highest regards, Enjoy!!
