A little about us

Based in the heart of Cambridge, we are a much loved family-run café and pizzeria serving up authentic food, with that famously cheerful Mediterranean atmosphere.

From a perfect, rustic sourdough pizza to fantastic focaccia, delicious arancini, a traditional selection of cakes, cannoli and an artisan gelato worth queuing for, everything is lovingly handmade by our chefs following our family recipes. 

See our skilled ‘pizzaioli’, Italian for ‘pizza-makers’, in action stretching the pizza and pulling it out of a traditional stone oven, in our shops window, to the amusement of the passing crowds, come along and enjoy the show!

A whole, not a slice!

At last you can now eat a WHOLE Aromi sourdough pizza - as delicious as the slices we sell in our cafes (with 3 days fermentation included!), but big enough for dinner! And to go with it - a tasty choice of Sicilian antipasti, cakes, cocktails and of course our famous artisan gelato.

Our new whole sourdough pizza and evening menu can be enjoyed Monday to Sunday from 6pm at our Bene’t Street eatery. No need to pre-book, just turn up and enjoy the best pizza in town.

Take aways and deliveries are also available. Visit our order page for more details.

Cambridge crowds queuing for an Aromi gelato has become a recognised summer city scene!  And please - it's not ice-cream, it's gelato! Our gelato is one of the creamiest and lightest kinds you have ever tasted. It is prepared daily in our kitchen, by our ‘gelatiere’, Italian for ‘gelato-maker’.

Real ingredients, real gelato

Our gelato is prepared daily in our kitchen using real ingredients like fruit, organic milk and sugar and no artificial flavours.  We use 20 kilos of real strawberries for our Fragola flavour, we brew 20 litres of real Sicilian coffee for our Espresso flavour and we use organic Sicilian lemons for our best-selling Limone gelato. And our slow-churning process makes our gelato deliciously soft and smooth.

Wondering what’s the secret behind our crispy and light sourdough?

Well, it is made of three simple ingredients: flour, water and mother of yeast. During a slow 48-hour fermentation, starch and gluten are naturally broken down, so the final result is a much lighter, easier to digest dough where you’ll only have to take one bite to enjoy its goodness without the guilt! Our flavourful toppings change seasonally and include the finest Italian air-cured meats and tasty Sicilian cheeses, all paired by our skilful chefs following our cherished family recipes.

Our Story

Following in the footsteps of Caffe’ Cipriani, our beloved family coffee shop, set in the charming piazza of Acireale since 1957, Aromi opened its doors in 2013. Since then, with its cheerful Mediterranean atmosphere, it’s been serving traditional Sicilian dishes, along with many cups of its special blend coffee, to Cambridge crowds, bringing a slice of Sicilian life to town.

All our freshly made, authentic delicacies, are a testament to the Aromi ethos: handcrafted honest products prepared using traditional Sicilian techniques.
