Gattuso's Trattoria Pizzeria

Gattuso's Trattoria Pizzeria is a family-run Italian spot in the busy parade of shops south of Cambridge city centre, a few minutes' walk from the railway station. It trades on proper Sicilian flavours: hand-stretched pizzas, generous bowls of pasta and the kind of unfussy, hearty cooking that keeps locals coming back. The dining room is small and informal, but much of the trade is people picking up a freshly boxed pizza to eat at home, and the team are happy to talk you through the menu if you are not sure what to choose.

A classic Margherita Pizza is a reliable place to start, its simple tomato, mozzarella and basil showing off the kitchen's dough at its best. Diners clearly approve: Gattuso's holds a Google rating of 4.4/5 and sits at 4.5 out of 5 on Tripadvisor, where it ranks among the higher-placed restaurants in the city. Whether you eat in or take it away, it is a dependable choice for a no-nonsense Italian feed.
