From breakfast to dinner, all day long

Aromi is a true all-day destination. In the morning, the scent of freshly baked bread and strong Sicilian coffee fills the air, drawing in those looking for a cappuccino and a croissant or a hearty breakfast.

In the evening, the pizzeria transforms into a casual dinner spot, serving whole sourdough pizzas, antipasti, and Sicilian desserts. The menu is simple but well-executed, with options for vegetarians and those with dietary needs, and the gelato – made fresh daily with organic milk and real fruit – is a highlight for many.

Warm, lively, and unmistakably Sicilian

The atmosphere at Aromi is warm and convivial, with a bright, Mediterranean feel that makes it easy to forget you’re in Cambridge. The space is compact but welcoming, with a mix of small tables and counter seating, and on sunny days there’s outdoor seating to enjoy. Staff are generally friendly and happy to share their favourites from the menu, and the background of Italian music adds to the sense of being in a Sicilian town. While the café can get busy and a little chaotic at peak times, that energy is part of its charm – a sign of a popular, well-loved local spot where good food and good company come together.
