Prezzo Norwich Tombland

The second Prezzo in Norwich resides in a beautiful Georgian house right by Norwich Cathedral. Many seats with window-​view look out on what can be the busy neighbourhood of Tombland, but the walls inside of the restaurant are equally as pleasing to look at. Decorated with posters and prints of David Hockney, and with a walk-​in wine cabinet with a window for guests to peek in, the house has been adequately modernised to suit Prezzo’s du-​jour style.
Portion sizes at Prezzo are very generous! Plates full to the brim with pasta you are sure to get value for the very reasonable price you pay. Not just serving pizza, but also Italian classics like calzone and risotto, you are sure to get a good impression of Italian food — though naturally the chain-​restaurant element polishes this to a degree that the appearance of your food is more refined than an authentic experience would be. Several menu items also have the choice of «going light», meaning your portion size is reduced and a side salad is added to the dish, for just another pound. Yet still a «light» portion can be so filling as to leave left-​overs!
Waiting staff at Prezzo are very friendly, attempting to answer any queries you have. If they are unable to help, they are happy to bring in the manager in order to assist. Service isn’t the swiftest, though you must bear in mind that there are two floors to cover, and tables are spread in various areas. The bathrooms look clean, but are upstairs, so it is uncertain what provisions are made for people with disabilities.
Overall, there are many charms to dining at Prezzo. Meals are worth the price paid, served hot and fresh, and staff is friendly and always keen to make it the best service possible. With interesting bonuses like advertising to offer take-​away, this surely is a good pick for date nights, eating with friends, or ordering a meal to pick up on the way home from work.
