رستوران روستایی

this is the only restaurant I can say I am a "regular":amazing food, helpful and friendly staff, great atmosphere.

Easter weekend so booked a table via online. We were shown to our table and after waiting 20 minutes had to ask for service though our food came very quickly.
The place was bigger than we expected and the tables are crammed in much too close. We had to keep moving to allow staff to squeeze past which became irritating.
I had gnocchi which was okay though slightly overcooked.
Staff were very friendly but seemed very rushed.
Not really the cosy Italian experience we expected from a ‘family run’ restaurant, but I guess it was Easter.

First time coming here. Food was fine, but the service was not good at all. The head waitress serving us seemed quite blunt, nor friendly or welcoming; leaving both my Husband and I feeling quite uncomfortable and wanting to leave. Also took a good twenty minutes trying to get somebody’s attention so we could finally pay the bill.

A disappointing experience, and with all the choice in Norwich of places to eat, I would NOT recommend this place.

We love this little gem of a restaurant.
We’ve returned a few times now and love it here. The cosy and traditional aesthetic combined with really authentic great food.

My husband loves eating here and seeing somewhere display their culture so proudly with such a focus on simple, homemade food! He is French and all his family are in France so I think visiting somewhere like Trattoria reminds him of his family dinners. Very ‘come as you are’ where you don’t check the time, just eat good food, drink good wine and enjoy the company.

I love the service here too, each course is cleared away promptly and food arrives quickly - but we are never rushed to finish or get the bill. Once we ask for dessert or an espresso we are almost always left to our own devices to finish in our own time and head to the bar to pay.

There was a new server the last time we visited and, though very sweet, would excel with a bit of help with training. She seemed really perplexed that we wanted to taste the wine, and I explained that sometimes the wine can be corked/tainted and it’s just something that happens every now and then, though I got the feeling she thought I was trying to insult Trattoria by tasting the wine.
For some reason I then tried to defend my reasoning by explaining we had a corked bottle just the night before at a pub nearby 🤣 we have all been there and she will do well with a bit of experience and some mentoring.

We will happily continue coming to Trattoria!

Superb food, excellent service, and great atmosphere. One of our favourite restaurants in Norwich.

Lovely experience in a gorgeous venue, decided we fancied pizzas and they were good but I am certain their pastas would have been nicer. The drinks were super expensive for soft drinks but overall lovely pizza and nice desert.
