Excellent little Italian, simple menu and cooked very well. Husband & wife team very friendly and chatty despite being very busy.We're looking forward to our next visit.

Disappointed with my visit here.Had a pasta dish, whilst the food was nice the portion size was very small and was more like an appetizer.Selection of deserts was poor, choice of only two then charged extra for a scoop of ice-cream to accompany a slice of gateaux.

Lovely for a breakfast stop. Best cappuccino in Norfolk in our opinion. Love the grated chocolate topping. Very tasty pastries too - light Andy crispy. Friendly, pleasent staff. Will definitely keep coming back.

Small, authentic Italian restaurant with delicious food and fantastic service.When we went, there were only two members of staff; the chef and the waitress. Not a single gripe about being on her own and service with a smile, nothing was too much effort l, which was refreshing.The pizza was tip-top and the pasta was delightful"

Fantastic food!!! We had the vegetarian pizza which was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. The chilli spaghetti dish with anchovies was delicious and would also work well with prawns. The kids menu had good options at a good price. My 4 yr old loved the spaghetti with tomato sauce, it was a smooth rich zingy tomato sauce which was very tasty.Portions were a good size and everything was reasonably priced.Great service by the staff, as we were seated a bottle of water was placed on the table, without us having to ask. Very thankful we were fitted in at late notice, after we had arrived at another restaurant and were not impressed with the menu options or £12 for a child’s sausage and chips!Highly recommend this place and will definitely return when we next visit Holt.

Popped in for lunch, a definite return to place. The platter of antipasto was super, far too much for one, but so good. There’s a very good pizza menu, but we opted for crab pasta. It came looking and smelling very good. Not many ingredients, but definitely the best crab pasta meal I’ve had. I like simple but delicious when it comes to my fish and seafood. We had a salad bowl between us, it complemented the pasta wonderfully. Top it off with tiramisu, home made of course absolutely glorious meal.

After trying a few times to get in to this restaurant, we discovered why. The service and food was fantastic. A proper Italian experience and so welcoming of my family. We will definitely book again next time we are holidaying here. Thank you!

The menu was very limited with just 4 pasta and 4 pizza dishes for mains, which in itself, would not have been a problem if the dishes we chose had been good. My pasta dish was bland, under-seasoned and the pasta overcooked. The portion size was small, but on this occasion I was grateful for that. My partner ordered a pizza....one of the four only on the menu, the Sicilian, the base was well over-baked and the topping had a horrible taste - inedible she left most of it. We expected an authentic Italian experience, and it is not difficult to do so given that the menu was so limited but we left wishing we had gone elsewhere.This restaurant has good reviews but based on our experience we cannot recommend it.

We managed to book a table during our recent stay, and we found it to be outstanding. We dined early in the evening so the restaurant wasn't full but that suited us.The food was great, especially the arancini starter. Would acknowledge what some people are saying in regard to some of the portion sizes, but wouldn't see it as a massive issue. The portions were more than adequate for us.Thoroughly recommended.

Booked for a meal for family of four whilst on holiday. Based on most reviews and photos online were quite looking forward to our visit. Although the place is clean and nicely decorated the pasta dishes we received for the price were extremely small (leaving even those with smaller appetites in our party still hungry) and average in terms of ingredients and flavour. The focaccia bread was over priced for the portion and not as fresh as it could have been. The menu is extremely limited compared with small Italian restaurantswe have visited in the past. I would by no means say the food was awful but for the price paid overall for the meal we were left dissatisfied.
