The Courtyard Italian Restaurante

Nestled in a cozy alley, this charming Italian joint is a hidden gem. Run by a duo, they whip up delicious Italian dishes made fresh to order. What's special is they encourage you to take your time and savor each bite. The owner is incredibly friendly and chatty, making you feel like part of the family. It's like having a homemade Italian feast right here in Norwich. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming meal experience.

Had a really nice meal at this lovely little Italian restaurant, can highly recommend the Seafood Lasagna. Will definitely dine there again..

What a gem to find! We live locally in Gorleston and stumbled across this place on Google. Intimate setting offering freshly cooked food. Limited menu - which we like - but will cook any variation for you. Quality ingredients and expert cooking producing delicious dishes. Probably the best meal out we've had for some time. Friendly, attentive service where nothing was too much trouble. And, most importantly, the chairs are so comfortable. Would highly recommend. We will be returning. I cannot fault this place!

Lovely tiny restaurant, the quality of food and personal service were outstanding and rare for these times. We booked for a birthday meal and were delighted with the whole experience. Well done and thank you!

Been here many times. Small cosy venue. Exceptional service and excellent food

Closed - Incorrect time information on google We attended approximately 9.30 and the venue was in complete darkness gates had a padlock on... although google stated it was open? Im unsure the owner understands the meaning of 'Opening Times' - if they dont allow people in after 9pm - then they are closed for business after that time.

Our visit to The Courtyard has been one of the most positive experiences at restaurant we've ever had. A true hidden gem tucked away down an alleyway. The owner Daniel, the chef and kitchen staff are truly passionate about delivering authentic Italian cuisine in small but gorgeous, rustic feeling and relaxing environment. If you're tired of frozen, mass produced food. Over seasoned or undercooked dishes from highstreet chains or struggling businesses this is the place to be. All the dishes are prepared and cooked from fresh for you on order. We had the mushroom linguine and spicy meatballs and both were perfect pasta dishes. We went for the chocolate dessert to finish, which was on another level and all portions were very generous.

Such a very friendly restaurant, with such amazing food and wine. Can't wait to go back again, won't be long. Had beautiful evening celebrating our son's Wedding Anniversary xx

Wow! What a hidden treasure this place is. From the get go, the service was brilliant - the owner(I assume) was very welcoming and chatty. The food was just incredible - you won't leave this place hungry. There's also a great selection drinks! And the atmosphere was just lovely. We will definitely be back again soon. Thanks for a great evening!

I cannot praise this little restaurant enough. It's cosy, intimate, friendly - I could go on! There were 8 of us and we were made to feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble for the Matre'D. The chef is a star - considering the size of his kitchen, he produced the most fantastic food. So much flavour, a good selection to choose from and very well presented. This place is a real little gem and we can't wait to return! Sheila and Peter Freeman
