Trattoria Rustica Restaurant in Norwich

Reviews

1. Jeremy Hooke ★★★★★

   Last night our party of nine enjoyed the most wonderful evening at Trattoria Rustica on Princes Street, one of our long‑time favourite restaurants in Norwich. We’ve visited many times, but this visit truly stood out. We chose the Christmas festive menu and every dish was exceptional — from the mussels to the cannelloni, the tiramisu, and even the vegan pancakes, which were a delightful surprise. We ended the evening with a round of limoncello, the perfect finishing touch to a beautiful meal. The Ouchai family and their team are always so lovely and attentive. Their hospitality creates such a warm and cosy atmosphere that you instantly feel welcomed and relaxed. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy an intimate dinner for two or celebrate with a larger group and still feel completely looked after. If you’re looking for a memorable evening filled with authentic Italian flavours, heartfelt service, and a setting full of charm, you absolutely must try this restaurant. #TrattoriaRustica #NorwichFood #ItalianDining #FamilyRunRestaurant #NorfolkEats #FestiveMenu #PrincesStreetNorwich #SupportLocal #AuthenticItalian #FoodieFavourites

   Went here as passing on way to cathedral. I hadn't read any reviews but from the outside the restaurant looked lovely. We were sat down and ordered 2 cocktails, one of which was a mojito...had to go back when served as tasted nothing like one, but better at the second attempt. Moving onto the food, ordered garlic bread, lasagne and chunky chips. Let's start with the chips, they were not chunky but in my opinion oven chips, garlic bread didn't taste of garlic and the lasagne was ok. If I was to look for another Italian to eat at...it wouldn't be here.

   The food was amazing! It was quite crowded and one particular server literally snapped at us “You need to keep quiet when I bring out the food”. I understand that serving a big party at rush hour is tough but I don’t appreciate being spoken to that way. Only dampener in an otherwise amazing evening. Would go back for the food. Delicious!

   Pricey but delicious food with big portions, wonderful atmosphere and decor; we had the seafood zuppa (soup) and seafood risotto - the calamari was so tender! With their coffee would have been nice if they offered a complimentary amaretto biscuit. Also, it would have been nice if they offered plant-based drinks e.g. coconut milk hot chocolate, and food, for Christmas lent/fasting.

   I went to this restaurant recently, and the atmosphere and décor were really nice, warm and welcoming. The customer service was good too, and the food arrived fairly quickly, which was a plus. Portion sizes were decent, and the pricing was quite affordable. In terms of taste, the food was just average—not bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. It’s definitely not the best Italian food I’ve had, but also not the worst. Overall, it’s a decent place to try once, especially if you’re in the area, but I probably wouldn’t come back here to satisfy a craving for Italian food.

   Excellent food, really enjoyed the meal I had here. It is a little on the expensive side, but portions are ample and it all seems super fresh. Fully recommend.

   Booked a table for Saturday night to celebrate my 21st birthday, loved everything about the restaurant. Our food was fantastic quality and very generous portion sizes. Had three courses and each one was just as amazing as the last. Service was excellent, all the waiters were friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend eating here and am very likely to come back.

   We stopped in here for dinner. The meals were good. My son had the lasagna (it came out bubbling hot) my wife had the salmon pasta & I had the seafood pasta. All in all it was good & reasonably priced. Have a limoncello they froze it or maybe it was that day because it broke all hear records.

   This is a very nice place. The atmosphere is really very nice. We had pasta with cream and ham, pasta with seafood and child portion bolognese. Honestly the dishes were not as good as we expected. Though we did not have any complaints until we saw the hair in the food. Unfortunately this was the end of our dinner and we did not stretch it to dessert and coffee. The staff was kind to take the plate off the bill.
