    I used to come here as a student years ago when it was Zio Mario and was shocked to hear it’d changed, but absolutely loved my visit to what is now the Venetian! Very friendly staff who are extremely knowledgable regarding the wines and all the ingredients, plus absolutely delicious food and wines! I can’t wait to return!

    Ordered the soup of the day and the farmers salad. The soup was was served way too hot to consume right away. As for the salad, although it was good, it was also quite small and wasn't served with bread sticks as the menu promises.

    A lovely selection of both natural and conventional wines to drink in or take home. Many and various Italian wines & spirits with a good selection from elsewhere too (mainly European I think). The team are incredibly knowledgeable and describe the wines really well in order to find something new to try based on your preference. They are friendly and passionate about the wine so ask for their help and don’t be afraid to try something that you haven’t had before. Italian cheeses, charcuterie, snacks and deli items are also available and everything we had alongside the wine was delicious. You can buy to take home as well and I think this is the best quality Italian cheese & charcuterie in Cambridge. Pop in and check it out. This is a site that has changed hands a couple of times in a fairly short amount of time so it might have improved a lot since your last visit. The new owners are doing a fantastic job!

    Good service and comfort place for enjoy a cup of coffee. Americano is not expensive there. I can go out on time to take my bus. Excellent location for me!

    I was recommended this place by my girlfriend as she did her wine tasting course from there. I absolutely loved the pizza and the wine. And the tiramisu is to die for! The staff was lovely as well. Would recommend this 10/10.

    Great wine, great canapés and even better service. A really special little find in an unassuming spot. Sometimes they have live music too. Definitely worth a quick glass of wine while waiting for a train!

    Second time here, we got a starter platter with cheese and charcuterie for 2 and they felt like preparing one for four and told us we were lucky. A couple of glasses of cannonau red wine, a pizza to share. Truly one of the best places for a glass of wine and some really delicious italian dining out. Also amazing for some tiramisu and an espresso. The staff is extremely friendly. Fell in love with the place. Only problem is that we don't live closer to be able to come more often.

    This is the best Italian restaurant in Cambridge! Food is amazing, service is excellent and staff are very kind, caring and knowledgeable. It’s a dog-friendly restaurant and they always have treats for my dog. Highly recommended!

    Disappointed in this great place being closed Sat Sun Mon.... that must impact on business and meant we stood gobsmacked at the door and headed off in search of another eatery... which was open working hard for customer loyalty. So owners do you think you can answer the criticism as to why, unlike local competitors, you cannot offer return customers a weekend feast?

  • 5/5 Matti A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice authentic Italian place. Food was great and drink selection really surprised me as they had lots of choice for sure. The only slight downside is that the restaurant is quite small and felt quite noisy, but that of course is a personal opinion. Great evening overall!

  • 5/5 Daniele B. 1 year ago on Google
    The Venetian is the best place where to have a unique aperitivo! The choice of wines and the food is great, it felt like being at home. The atmosphere is authentic and I look forward to going back soon

  • 5/5 Sangita K. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food and the nicest staff. The Venetian has such a homely feel as well. Also a Great place to pick up wine, cheese, charcuterie, and other Italian treats. Highly recommend visiting and dining at this gem!

  • 5/5 Roxane N. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing coffee and authentic Italian food, they even have a deli counter where you can buy otherwise hard to find Italian cheeses and meats. My favourite lunch spot in Cambridge!

  • 5/5 Christian B. 1 year ago on Google
    Best coffee, best bites, best cakes and serviced with a smile! Great team at The Venetian who know how to give you an authentic Italian break in Cambridge. Try the chickpea - polenta with cheese and cold cuts as do die for! Only time me and my friends do not go there is when they are closed. Thanks The Venetian Crew

    Very friendly staff, beautifully tasty Italian food, abundant wines selection furthermore Domenico is also oenologist, so you couldn't ask any better than this regarding wine!

  • 3/5 Thomas J. 1 year ago on Google
    I actually like the cafe, it’s not usually too busy and feels like an actual Italian deli. Unfortunately they removed some of the vegan options so I can’t eat here anymore.

  • 5/5 Viana S. 1 year ago on Google
    Get Coffee here, and you will be happy.

  • 5/5 Lucy B. 2 years ago on Google
    Really glad we missed our bus- or we'd have never popped in here. Lovely deli/cafe - we only had a pastry and juice due to time constraints but I'd love to return when we have a bit more time. Very considerate and courteous staff as well.

  • 5/5 Millie-Jane A. 1 year ago on Google
    I love their selection of coffees and croissants and the staff are all very friendly. I will have to eat in one day

  • 5/5 Juan Ramón Valle O. 1 year ago on Google
    Proper wine served by savvy wine lovers. No fuzz, just great wine and great food, so some will be disappointed by the lack of overpriced luxuries like corkage, etc. Favourite place in Cambridge (by far).

  • 4/5 David R. 1 year ago on Google
    If you have a bit of time before your train then come here for your coffee. It can sometimes take time, so I don't come here when i am in a rush. It's far better than the chains thwt surround it

  • 5/5 Davide C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place! Great selections of wines. Domenico is very friendly and has a great knowledge about wines. It's he only place where I could find Vermentino di Gallura here in Cambridge. It was accompanied with farinata with pecorino and coppa ham on the top: not a nibble...a piece of art. These guys have raised the bar.

  • 5/5 Andrew D. 2 years ago on Google
    What a discovery! Amazing people, amazing place, good range of wine and Italian bites. Friendly faces greet you every time you drop by this place. Can’t recommend enough - have the Pastiera Napoletana!

    An absolute gem! Literally does what it says on the tin! Quality food, good atmosphere and knowledgeable friendly service. A guaranteed stop off for us when in Cambridge
