Lovely paninis! Looking forward to try all the other sandwiches, pizzas, and desserts.The capricciosa panini is definitely worth the wait till around 11 am (I was thinking about having it for breakfast), though personally I’d prefer it to be toasted a littler longer to get the cheese melting.Latte without latte art is a bit disappointing (strong taste with no particular flavor), but the divine pistachio tarts make up for it. The rich cream and the crispy base just work perfectly together.The spacious space downstairs is quite a surprise.

Stopped by for a quick lunch on the weekend. The queue was massive, but the food is worth it. We got a pizza, focaccia and a pistachio filled croissant. The focaccia was divine, personally edged out the pizza for top spot - although the pizza "flavour" I wanted was unavailable so maybe next time the order will change. We did actually want to eat-in initially but found the queuing system confusing, which would easily be improved with some signage. As floor space is a premium, customers are advised to wait outside while waiting for their food - which is sensible. It would be better if there was a sign to this affect so it doesn't feel like you are jostling for queue position constantly. However, the interior is cute and allows customers to view the preparation and cooking phases, so it is quite an experience. Definitely one to visit, just be prepared for a long wait on the weekend. On a side note, I thought the food was reasonably priced for what you got.

Ordered a parmigiana and spinaci arancini and a mocha. The food was absolutely fantastic! Taste very good and the restaurant’s ambience is good. Worth trying but would need to queue for the food. Definitely recommending

Came here with a friend to try some deserts. Across the 4 items we tried, there was a large gradient in how much happiness I extracted.I felt the orange chocolate cake was the worst of the items; the orange hints were interesting in how subtly it was infused into the cake, but overall I found the orange taste offputting. This was a flavor combination recommended to me by my good friend SS-chan, but I refuse to perpetuate such lies. Also the back half of the cake was way drier than the front end.This was my first time trying cannolis. Overall I enjoyed them , but can't say I would seek them out. They also felt quite overpriced. The charming lady at the register tricked my friend into getting an extra cannoli as well. He was very sad because he thought she meant the set of 3 was for 1.80, and not 1.80 each. I respect her capitalist mindset though.The lemon tortino was quite well done. Normally I'm not a fan of lemon desserts, but this one had a perfect balance of not too sweet and not too tart. The texture was like a perfectly moist cake... For the most part. The only complaint is that there was some lemon jam in the middle which made the center of the dessert way too wet.Saving the best for last, the pistachio tiramisu was a thing of beauty. Not only was the presentation really nice, but the flavors were so harmonious. Now that I've tried it, I would never order anything else from here. Absolute masterpiece.The cafe had a nice lively but simultaneously chill vibe. I appreciated the aesthetic of the wooden trays that some of the desserts were served on. If they get the other desserts to the level of the pistachio tiramisu, this would easily be a 5 star institution. Overall, a p-strong establishment.

This place is one of the best treasures of Cambridge. But like most Cambridge shops the waiting times and busyness can be very intense. It’s best to plan your trip and not just chance it on the day. Great food and atmosphere, from someone who’s been coming here years.

A visit to Cambridge is not complete without a visit to Aromi which was established in 1957 to taste its gelato ice cream. The gelato comes in various flavours but my favourite is the pistachio flavour. There is often a queue and often the popular flavours are sold out. Aromi is also a Sicilian cafe serving pizza, focaccia, arancini and cannoli.

We stopped over for the ice cream. We almost missed the ice cream shop as its a few doors to the right of the main shop. Though I must say, the other food options in the main shop looked great.A short queue but worth the wait. Pistachio and Dark Chocolate were amazing. Similar comments about the other flavours from others within our group.

Aromi is a super busy place perfect for takeaways. Their sourdough breads are amazing. They have limited pizza options though and food sells fast too. One must try Tiramisu here.it has the right blend of coffee and sweetness. The indoor seating is crammed up and mostly people seem to take away food. There is a toilet in the premises too.

Defienitely recommend a visit to this place if you come to cambridge. We order amazing margherita pizzaÂŁ4.90 and salame spianata ÂŁ5.70 and spinaci arancini ÂŁ3.52. Worth every penny. Would give this new open aromi place 5 stars but sadly they forgot to bring us one of our pizza's. Very unique taste and nice looking desserts. Lovely to see them slowly grow and see more and more places opening.
