La Mimosa

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!

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

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!

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!!!

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!
