About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Kid-friendly
La Pergola is a family run Italian Restaurant that serves quality, authentic Italian food in a relaxed and family-friendly environment. We are based at The Wheatsheaf Pub, a coaching inn dating back to the 15th Century, a few miles west of Cambridge city centre.
The emphasis at La Pergola is to produce wholesome home cooked food in a traditional Italian style. Where possible we use home grown vegetables and herbs that are cultivated on our allotment, and many items on the menu are homemade, such as the fennel and pork sausages, antipasti pickles and bread.
Our kitchen is home to a wood burning pizza oven. Our pizzas have a distinctive taste that is only achieved in a clay oven. The pizza dough is made fresh every day and from the dining room it is possible to watch your pizza being prepared.

    We have visited la Pergola over the past seven or eight years -- it has always been an authentic corner of Italy. The food is excellent and consistent, and the service is prompt and cheerful.

    Fantastic and authentic food. The tiramisu was fantastic, and the clay-oven pizzas were delicious and there are a range of them on offer. The main courses were really enjoyed by the two in our party who had them - including the lamb shank which they said was done perfectly.

    Amazing food , lovely family restaurant and we always come back. But if you could just speed up the service. We were in for 2 1/4 hours. You need to perhaps do a wee bit of staff training on managing order taking and timing and we just got left waiting a lot for drinks to come mid meal and desert orders to be taken. I love your food though. It’s amazing.

    Warm friendly welcome, table ready prepared for us. Excellent food, the choice was from an extensive menu and all the food was lovely and well presented. Nice atmosphere in the dining room, which was busy. The only slight drawback was the service....although we realised that some guests (ourselves included actually) were known to the staff who chatted to them... we would have appreciated this rather more if we had been given our drinks first! But the quality of all the food was really very good indeed, and no doubt we shall return again soon.

    Our first visit to this extremely authentic Italian restaurant for their Valentines night. An excellent menu was supported by friendly and efficient staff with decorated tables and a red rose for all ladies creating a lovely atmosphere and thoroughly enjoyable evening. We will certainly return.
