A great place to eat, the food is fantastic and staff are truly wonderful. BIrthday visit last night, a great evening with friends who had not been before they will be back, as we will... Thank you all X
This restaurant was a breath of fresh air yesterday lunch time after being kept waiting half an hour or more and ignored at Las Iguanas (just nearby) just to get a drink at the bar while waiting for a table. We were so grateful to receive a warm welcome and a happy friendly waitress and tasty fresh food (sat outside in the sunshine)
Well done!
We are here 2yrs ago too and any time we are in Cambridge will definitely come again.
Thank you so much
Such a great restaurant right next to the river hidden gem food was 5* fantastic staff very polite and accommodating
I can strongly recommend la mimosa,the ambience,food and staff are always first rate,you will not be disappointed
We went yesterday as a table of 8, 4 kids and 4 adults. It is a great location on the river, the staff were warm and friendly and most importantly the food was delicious (especially my mushroom starter). I will definitely return.x
We had a lovely meal here yesterday. Service, as always, was second to none. A very happy, friendly atmosphere too. Thank you for making mine and my mums mother’s day so lovely.
The food and service are exceptional and the staff cannot do enough for you, superb again thank you
Fantastic celebration - delicious Italian food, brilliant service - perfect place for our 50th celebrations �
Great food , staff and view . Highly recommended 😊
Fabulous lunch very friendly excellent service. highly recommend 5*
The staff were great, very welcoming and remained helpful throughout the evening. Food was very enjoyable.
Best in Cambridge � absolutely top class food and service
A fantastic Italian that I only found out about by being invited to a intimate wedding reception there. The food was great and the service is very much traditional Italian style, friendly and make you feel like a member of the family.
We had a lovely dinner. Everything was delicious, the appetizers exceeded my expectations. attentive staff. great location near the river is what you need on a hot summer day. We had a great meal and will definitely be back again soon.
Lovely food. We did wait for a bit for the menu but the waitress ( assume the owner) is so nice and warm....we loved the food and atmosphere was amazing. Highly recommended 👌
The food we had at La Mimosa was so great, my girlfriend finished her Ravioli with crayfish and prawn before I did, and that never happens! I had the chicken and mushroom, which was spectacular, the sauce is incredible especially. We were fortunate that this restaurant was closeby our hotel, it is worth the travel to experience the good alone.
The service was warm and friendly and the waiter was singing as he carried our food over to us, adding a excellent touch to the atmosphere
Would definitely visit again!
Absolutely tasty food. We ordered salate, pasta and dish of the day and all were super tasty. Aperol was well made as well which is rare nowadays in Cambridge. Nice view on the river. Highly reccomended to visit
Fantastic authentic Italian restaurant with great food and service. Outdoor setting next to the River and alongside Jesus Green Park. We all enjoyed the food in a relaxed garden setting. Highly recommended, second time we have been, and will definitely be going back.
The food here is absolutely top tier. 5 stars! I absolutely reccomend it. The lady who served us was lovely with great service.
1 star dropped because it was a bit of a strange experience trying to enter the restaurant but the door was locked. We had to wait for 2 minutes in the cold while the lady at the bar just watched us. Once we got into the restaurant, we had to wait another 4 minutes for our pre-booked table. But once we were sat down, the rest of the night was lovely. I understand that they were short staffed though.
Despite the start of the night. The food is absolutely worth it.
Before we had our dinner in the restaurant I went in to get a nice hot chocolate with Baileys for takeaway to have something warm on that quite cold punting tour, which started next to the restaurant.
After that, we were hungry and decided to go back to this very nice and authentic Italian restaurant. You could directly tell that it is a family-run business - we got to know the business owner, who was telling us about the 20 year history of the the business and his family, his wonderful wife and youngest daughter supporting him that evening.
We ate the sea bass and crab ravioli which were fantastic. The restaurant is beautifully situated directly next to the river with an amazing outdoor area. The restaurant itself is very charming and comfortable furnished.
All in all a perfect and delicious evening with the pleasant nature of the local run family business. 100% recommended!!!
This has to be one of (if not) the best restaurants on Cambridge. The family run establishment provides food that's simply magnificent. This is my 3rd visit to this restaurant, and it just keeps getting better. Courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable staff with the style and panache of a top top top restaurant. 5 stars for everything
From the phone call to book the table to the farewell at the door a wonderful experience at this family run resturant. So friendly and welcoming, the best Italian food we have had, and at a very reasonable price.
The location on the River Cam just a few minutes from city centre, by the punt boat operators, is stunning, the sort of place you might expect to be a bit of a tourist trap rip off, but absolutely not! After a superb meal and a few very reasonably priced glasses of great house wine/prosecco, we meandered back to our accomodation along the river bank path. Perfect! Go there!
Visited on a lovely warm Friday evening for a Mum and Daughter dinner, we arrived 30mins before our booking, the staff accommodated our early arrival and were so friendly and pleasant! The food was incredible and the wine was fantastic. Atmosphere was so beautiful I would highly highly highly recommend visiting!
Forgot to pack a picnic? This place is great for ordering pizzas to-go so you can enjoy in the park. Dining in is fine, but not a must. They do have the coveted chili-oil if you are a fan of dipping your crust.
Ravioli was so delicious my partner wanted to lick the bowl and the carbonara was just as good
As has been said before the chocolate cake is delicious.
Terrific service so 10/10 and thank you for a wonderful meal
The BEST Italian restaurant in Cambridge. No doubt! The food is amazing and the location is lovely. Donato (the owner) will make you laugh the whole time.
(Go for the pasta 😉)
This place is a gem, delicious Italian food with generous portions and a house wine that fits the food. We had a friendly waitress who was extremely helpful and no long delays between courses. The venue is also picturesque and in summer the outside dining area looks great for watching the world go by whilst enjoying a pizza or something else (maybe from the extensive desert menu..?) Pizza pasta and meat or fish dinners all available and from what we saw passing our table to go to other diners we will be back to sample more!! Thankyou
A solid spot for some Italian eats. My friends and I each just got a separate pasta dish. I thought the tagliatelle alla carbonara was excellent; wonderfully creamy yet not too heavy, with a very balanced and not overwhelming flavors. I also tried a bit of the lasagna which I thought was good but not great.
I thought the prices were quite expensive, though to be fair the portion sizes were quite large. The nice decor and location both contribute to a pleasant dining experience. The service was also good, though it seemed like they forgot about us before finally getting us the check. Overall easily a net positive experience.
We called mid afternoon about a table booking for that evening. Although me and my partner thought that the answer would be no, we were very surprised that the owner was able to accommodate us.
The owners are very warm and welcoming people. The food was spot on and we have never had a bad meal in the past. It is a lovley restaurant and both my partner and I were very pleased with the experience
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!
