Advantages: Good range of food, pleasant atmosphere, doesn't seem like part of a chain Disadvantages: None
The first time I went to Caffe Uno (and yes it IS spelled with two F's!) I didn't even realise it was part of a chain! It has just opened up, and it was so nice and so individual, and the food not at all packaged or pre-prepared, that I thought it was one on its own. It really doesn't seem like a chain as it has nice little touches which make it seem special. It wasn't until I went to visit a friend and saw one in her home town that I realised!
Caffe Uno is an Italian style cafe restaurant, decorated in a fairly rustic style with wooden tables and wicker chairs (more comfortable than they sound!) and a bar area from behind which drinks are served (although there is nowhere to sit at the bar, it is more for decoration than anything else. The lighting is quite ambient, all in all providing a pleasant atmosphere.

"You went out for dinner AGAIN?!" screeched my mother down the phone this morning, "No WONDER you're getting short of money!"
It's true - I seem to eat out far too much for someone on a student budget, often to the same places over and over again. But last night I decided to try Caffe Uno, a restaurant which, in my one and a half years in Cambridge, I have never got round to trying.
The restaurant itself is stylishly decorated - the interior is warm and simplistic, nothing too over the top. As we walked in we were shown instantly to a table, and we sat down with the menus to choose our meals.
The menu is very Italian, and quite varied. There is a range of about 12 starters, priced from £2.25 to £4.95, including vegetarian options. I went for the "Bocconcini di Mozzarella e Proscuitto", grilled mozarella wrapped in parma ham ...

This is one of my favourite eating Places in St Ives Cornwall.
In 2008 we were not able to use it as there had been a fire in the building, which was badly damaged and took oabout a year to restore it, which as it was a listed building had to be back to how it was.
It is located on Wharf Road so overlooks the Harbour.
It has about 40 covers so is not overly large, but as it is popular Booking is strongly advised, even when we visit St Ives in October.
As the name of the place CAFFE PASTA PIZZA suggests that is the main things on the menu, but there are also Steaks.
The staff are very attentive without being obtrusive, and they obviously have been well trained with a good work ethic.
Starters :-
Soup, on the nights we were in Was Green Pea one night and Wild Mushroom the other. What I like is that you get a Large ...
