Savino's is an authentic Italian coffee shop located on Cambridge’s bustling Emmanuel Street. Inside, you’ll find Illy coffee, homemade cakes, panini and salads. The cosy cafe is run by Peter Savino, who creates food inspired by southern Italy where his family originates. All of the produce used in his establishment is either sourced locally or, in the case of the traditional Italian meats and cheeses, imported from Italy. Despite being squeezed between a Subway and a dry cleaners, Savino’s is by no means lacking in charm. The walls are hung with posters depicting Sofia Loren and classic Italian movies, as well as a large collage of photos of past guests including Tom Hiddleston. Newspapers on every table and little pot plants on glass shelves near the ceiling further augment the atmosphere, as do the massive chalk board menus and tiny tables to match. Try Savino’spiattomisto, which comprises cold meat and cheese as well as roasted vegetables, olives and home-made pesto and the soup; soup flavours are imagined up each day by Peter’s wife Sara, depending on what vegetables she has gotten from Cambridge market that week.

Nice coffee with a gently buzzing atmosphere and a good place to meet a friend for a relaxed chat. There are certainly better coffees in Cambridge but Savino's is well worth it if you are in the area.
