Picture the scene – you are on holiday and stumble across a bustling market square full of fruit and vegetables, flowers and flavoursome food items. On the corner of the market you notice an inviting terrace – full of tables and green umbrellas and people enjoying a morning coffee or a delicious-looking lunch.
This image of the Mediterranean is kindly brought to you and the centre of Cambridge by the independent Italian restaurant Don Pasquale.
Established in 1973, Don Pasquale has been run by the same family ever since and enjoys a reputation for classic Italian cuisine, well-prepared and simply presented.
With its Pizzeria and Gelateria, lovers of all things Italian can feel perfectly at home and children are well-catered for too with their own menu or half portions of all the main pasta dishes.As well as breakfast, brunch and lunch, the atmospheric restaurant is also open in the evenings for dinner.
The seven-page menu offers pizzas, pasta, antipasto, salads, ciabattas and home-made desserts and if you need a recommendation, we suggest the Spaghetti alla Carbonara, the Penne con Pollo or one of the amazing Calzone Pizzas followed by the Affogato all’ Amaretto. There is also a great selection of wines and Italian coffee.
Completing the authentic sense of a classic Italian restaurant is the open kitchen where you can watch a member of owner Pasquale Benedetto's family at work – always a positive sight in any restaurant.
