Da Luigi Italian Bistro in the heart of Chipping Camden

 




Nestled in a 17th-century 'chocolate box' timber frame wattle-and-daub heritage building, Da Luigi Bistro is a warm and welcoming family-run Italian restaurant on the picturesque high street of Chipping Camden, where owner Marco Porta offers an authentic taste of Italy using the freshest ingredients, from wood fired pizza to homemade pastas. Arriving for lunch after a lovely stroll through Chipping Camden from our house on Hoo Lane, we enjoyed a glass of Prosecco with our family who drove in from Ely to stay for the weekend, before a delicious lunch of classic Italian dishes from homemade Minestrone, Caprese Salad with buffalo mozzarella, heritage beef tomato and fresh basil to Linguine Carbonara, Lasagna Della Casa with Béchamel, Pollo Milanese, Paccheri with prawns, courgettes, cream, and cherry tomatoes, and robust Seafood Linguine with mussels, clams, squid and Prawns in a tomato white wine sauce with chilli, garlic and parsley. With exposed beams, stone walls and gorgeous Italian ceramics, Marco's Da Luigi provides a welcoming and rustic dining experience that transports guests to the heart of Italian cuisine.
