We are a small family business in Norwich, but our love for pizza began long before we arrived here.Our journey started back in 1980, in a little kiosk in Italy called “Panino Pizza”, where our family discovered a lifelong passion for pizza and italian street food.What began as a humble "chiosco" grew into a cozy restaurant in Italy and in 2016, brought us to Norwich with a dream to continue our tradition.For over 50 years, Mamma has poured her heart into perfecting every recipe—stretching the dough by hand, crafting rich sauces, and baking pizzas with patience and love. Her dedication is the secret behind every bite at Saporita.Today, we proudly serve pizza by the slice baked in a pan, along with freshly made focaccia, panzerotto, piadina, and generous Italian taglieri. At Saporita, our passion for pizza lives in every slice, offering a true taste of Italy in the warm, welcoming heart of Norwich.“The Passion for Pizza, from Italy to Norwich”

At The Ratcatchers, we do three things — Meat. Bread. Pasta. — and we take each one seriously. Chef's Michal & Jacek work from scratch every day: butchering Norfolk-raised beef in house, baking fresh bread, and hand-rolling pasta for every service. We are a premium, made to order restaurant. The menu is tight, ingredient-led, and rooted in quality over quantity, allowing the flavours of the food to speak for themselves.The dining room invites you to relax and unwind, with a log fire lending warmth and atmosphere in winter, and a sun-drenched patio that becomes a peaceful retreat in the summer. With attentive and friendly service throughout. Whether it’s cocktails at the bar, Sunday roast with all the trimming or celebrating a special occasion with a Chateaubriand, or just simply indulging in quality steak or fresh pasta, we look forward to welcoming you!Michal & Lydia

    We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Ratcatchers Norfolk! The steaks we had were amazing—perfectly cooked, full of flavour, and easily some of the best we’ve ever had. This is hands down the best restaurant we’ve been to in a long time. The atmosphere, service, and overall experience were all top-notch. As we came in on a Friday night, there was a live singer which made the whole evening even better. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!

    What a fabulous place. Because you enter the building on ground level and travel up in a lift it felt secretive, exclusive and very special. First impressions blew us away. The decor, the layout and the view - wow! It just got better as the time went by. Drinks were in supplied in abundance, food was great but out gorgeous waiter made our day. 10/10 and we can’t wait to go again.

    This is my favourite restaurant and is my go to place. It is small and intimate. The food is stunning. The host, Frank, is welcoming and very obliging. If you can't decide on what to eat Frank will invent a dish for you and I guarantee you will love.it. Prices are very good and everything is well worth the money. In short, give it a try, you will definitely be back!
