The restaurant serves square pizzas that you can order in half and full sizes.

An Italian restaurant in Cambridge has been named one of the best in the region. Tradizioni won the award for the best restaurant in the East of England at the UK Italian Awards 2026.

The UK Italian awards celebrates businesses across the UK with regional awards being given out to “give the whole country a chance to shine”. Other categories included best chef, best pasta restaurant, and best tiramisu.

To win the award, Tradizioni had to register and acquire enough votes from the public to be shortlisted as a finalist. The restaurant was then visited by the award’s judges, who then decided on the winning businesses.

The Gala Final Dinner was held on Monday, March 30, in London where all of the winners were handed their awards. The evening was designed to “celebrate everything that makes us proud of our unique ties with Italy”.

Found on Mill Road, the restaurant first opened in 2014 and has made itself a staple food spot on the street. Tradizioni serves a range of traditional starts such as burrata with rocket and cherry tomatoes, bruschetta, and fritto misto.

In terms of its main courses, the restaurant has plenty of popular pasta dishes to choose from as well as steaks, lamb chops, and fish. Tradizioni also offers pizzas but rather than the usual round shape, the pizzas are square and come in half or full sizes.

You can either book a table in the restaurant or enjoy your meal at home by ordering a takeaway. You can also order products and ingredients from the deli shop to recreate your favourite dishes from Tradizioni at home.

Reviews of Tradizioni describe the restaurant as a “beautiful place” and the food is “consistently lovely and authentically Italian”. Tradizioni can be found on Mill Road next to Sedgwick Street.

The restaurant is open from 12pm to 10pm on Tuesdays to Saturdays and from 5pm to 10pm on Mondays.

It’s the seventh time in eight years that Cambridge have come out on top in the Men’s race

Cambridge have secured their seventh win in eight years of competing in the Men’s Boat Race against Oxford. It means the Light Blues have continued their run of recent dominance over their fierce rivals.

But it was a different story for Cambridge in the Women’s race, who were beaten for the first time since 2016. The Light Blues have dominated over the past decade, but it was Oxford who came out on top after a blistering start.

Oxford burst into the lead from the start and maintained the place at the front all the way to the finish line. It was a closely-fought battle of strategy with Cambridge holding on right until the final few hundred metres, but it was Oxford who took victory in the rough and windy conditions.

“I’m excited that I’m not too wet,” Sammy Houdaigui, cox for Cambridge men, told Channel 4. “That was a fantastic race. All credit to Oxford and the eight rowers. We had the right athletes in the boat and I’m glad I got to be a part of it.”

Harry Geffen, for Oxford, said: “It’s mixed emotions. We’re gutted to come away with a loss. A lot of people thought we’d roll over but we gave it all we had. That’s racing.”

He added: “It was pretty rough out there. We practiced for that, especially yesterday. Nothing quite prepares you for when you’re 12 minutes deep and questioning whether you’ll make it. We stuck in there and that’s all you can do.”

She felt really proud to hit the milestone just in time for Easter

This 10-year-old is celebrating the Easter weekend by marking a huge athletic milestone.

Olivia Snoddon, who has a personal best time at the weekly 5K in Hillsborough Forest Park, took part in her 100th Parkrun on Saturday morning.

And the Co Down schoolgirl marked the occasion in style, storming to a new personal best of 21:31 and an impressive age grading of 79.32% – her previous PB was 22.05 minutes.

Olivia told Belfast Live afterwards: “Today I ran my 100th Parkrun and I felt really proud. I love coming every week and seeing everyone, and all the volunteers are so kind.

“I’m really happy all my hard runs helped me get a PB. It felt amazing to finish today, and I’m excited to keep going and reach my next milestone.”

She started taking part in the Parkruns with her dad Steve when she was just eight years old and quickly developed a strong passion for running.

These days, Olivia is often one of the first people to arrive at the event and has progressed to the point where she is now regularly the fastest female taking part overall.

Olivia’s dedication has also been recognised at a regional level, having recently qualified for the Northern Ireland Athletics Junior Cross Country Endurance Squad. She is also a proud member of Lagan Valley Athletics Club minis.

Speaking to Belfast Live ahead of Saturday, dad Steve said the family are all very proud of Olivia and her achievements: “We’re incredibly proud of Olivia. To reach 100 Parkruns at just 10 years old is a fantastic achievement, but more than that, it’s her attitude.

“She genuinely loves running, is always up early and ready to go, and gives it everything every single week.”

US and Iranian forces have been searching for a missing American crew member after a US warplane was shot down.

Iran claimed to have shot down two US warplanes, one F-15 flying over the southwest of the country and a second plane involved in a mission to rescue the F-15’s crew.

Two crew members were in the F-15 jet. One member was rescued and the other airman is still missing, the BBC’s news partner CBS reports.

The pilot of the second downed plane, an A-10 Warthog, ejected safely over the Gulf and was rescued, CBS reports.

Iran is offering rewards to anyone who can capture the missing crew member alive, Iranian state TV reports.

US crews were reportedly met with gunfire during search-and-rescue efforts.

Senior international reporter, Joel Gunter explains what we know so far on the situation.

A “masculinity crisis” is building in schools across the UK, a teaching union has warned, after almost a quarter of female teachers it surveyed said they have been subject to misogynistic abuse from a pupil in the last year.

For the fourth year in a row NASUWT teachers’ union has surveyed a rise in teachers reporting misogyny from pupils – up to 23.4 per cent from 17.4 per cent in 2023.

One teacher said she was called a “f****** slag” by a pupil, while others said sexual noises and gestures were made at them, they were called misogynistic names and said they were meowed at by male students.

Another teacher responding to the survey said a student had made naked images using artificial intelligence (AI) of her and others.

“We have a masculinity crisis brewing in our schools,” NASUWT general secretary Matt Wrack said.

“Teachers desperately need increased support to deal with this new frontier of behaviour management – it affects the wellbeing of everyone in the classroom.

“This generation of teachers faces an unprecedented task that requires urgent action from policymakers.”

The latest poll of more than 5,000 teachers focuses on female staff rather than students. It found more than one in five teachers said they have been subject to sexist, racist or homophobic language from a pupil in the past year.

Female teachers described being ignored and mocked by their pupils, including being referred to as “love”, told to “calm down”.

Many female teachers reported that pupils say misogynistic things to them after they attempt to address concerns about their behaviour, the NASUWT said, and some say male pupils do not listen to them because they are female.

One teacher said she faced misogyny on a daily basis, including abusive language.

“Have had boys joke about raping girls in front of me and laughed about it when challenged,” the teacher said.

“Parents have told me if I can’t handle teenage boys then I need to ‘work in a f****** nursery’.”

Mr Wrack said: “If female teachers are reporting that they cannot contain gender-based aggression in their classrooms – and that is exactly what they are telling NASUWT – then we have a ticking time bomb on our hands.

“These pupils are the same boys and young men who will go on to be husbands, fathers, and colleagues in the workplace.

“They may eventually develop influence in the public sphere.

“We must help them and their victims – including teachers – before it is too late.”

He said social media and artificial intelligence companies must be held responsible for misinformation spreading on their platforms, and face sanctions if they do not.

Mr Wrack added: “Our young people are being exploited to feed tech billionaires’ endless appetites for profit and power, and our education system is under attack as a result.”

A Department for Education spokesperson said: “Misogynistic views are not innate, they are learned, and we are committed to using every possible tool to achieve our mission of halving violence against women and girls.

“Our updated RSHE guidance is designed to make sure all young people can identify positive role models, and we are providing resources to support teachers to recognise the signs of incel ideologies so we can intervene effectively, including through the Educate Against Hate programme.

“We are strengthening our mobile phones in schools guidance to make it even clearer that schools need to be mobile phone-free environments and launching a consultation to seek views from experts, parents and young people to make sure children have a healthy relationship with phones and social media.”

A dad-of-three said he was asleep with his three children when two men began prowling outside their home on Friday, April 3.

A family have been left shaken after two men were caught on camera prowling outside their home in North Berwick.

The frightening incident unfolded outside the property on Dall Hollow at around 2.30am on Friday, April 3.

Video footage, seen by Edinburgh Live, appeared to show two figures approaching the home, with one trying to gain access to the house.

A dad-of-three, who spoke anonymously, said his three young children were asleep inside the property when it was targeted.

He has been left fearing what might have happened if the crooks had entered his home.

He told our sister title: “It makes me sick to think if my front door had been open that they’d be in my house whilst me and my kids are asleep.

“I checked my camera not expecting to see anything. I was gobsmacked to see in that first video they tried my car door, house door and if you watch to the end you can see they got into my neighbours car when the tail lights go on.”

In the footage, one suspect can be seen unsuccessfully trying to gain access to the family’s car. He then tries to open the front door of the house before walking out of the camera’s frame.

Another individual is seen approaching a neighbour’s vehicle in the street. He gains access and the motor’s taillights illuminate red.

A second video shows the two dark figures returning about 30 minutes later, and attempt to break into the vehicle again before leaving.

Police Scotland has been contacted for comment.
