Buzzy De Luca has rapidly established itself as one of the best Italian restaurants in Cambridge, with a reputation for good food competently executed by chefs in an open-plan kitchen. The menu is well balanced and fairly priced, but don’t come here expecting pizza or spag bol: the regular repertoire may feature classics such as aubergine parmigiana and rigatoni alla mamma, but it also deals in liberal interpretations of sunny Mediterranean cuisine ranging from slow-roasted pork and BBQ risotto to salmon with a pistachio and honey crust. The drinks list sticks more closely to the Italian theme with a good range of wines by the glass and carafe, not to mention an impressive selection of cocktails. De Luca’s sleek, modern styling and friendly service will suit most occasions, from romantic date nights to students out on the town.
