Il Calabrese - HOLT

Fantastic food!!! We had the vegetarian pizza which was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. The chilli spaghetti dish with anchovies was delicious and would also work well with prawns. The kids menu had good options at a good price. My 4 yr old loved the spaghetti with tomato sauce, it was a smooth rich zingy tomato sauce which was very tasty. Portions were a good size and everything was reasonably priced. Great service by the staff, as we were seated a bottle of water was placed on the table, without us having to ask. Very thankful we were fitted in at late notice, after we had arrived at another restaurant and were not impressed with the menu options or £12 for a child’s sausage and chips! Highly recommend this place and will definitely return when we next visit Holt.

Limited menu and generally poor; watery/overcooked pasta. Pizza was good though and loved the nduja paste. Shame as it is in a great location and supported by great staff. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Pizza

After trying a few times to get in to this restaurant, we discovered why. The service and food was fantastic. A proper Italian experience and so welcoming of my family. We will definitely book again next time we are holidaying here. Thank you! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Booked for a meal for family of four whilst on holiday. Based on most reviews and photos online were quite looking forward to our visit. Although the place is clean and nicely decorated the pasta dishes we received for the price were extremely small (leaving even those with smaller appetites in our party still hungry) and average in terms of ingredients and flavour. The focaccia bread was over priced for the portion and not as fresh as it could have been. The menu is extremely limited compared with small Italian restaurantswe have visited in the past. I would by no means say the food was awful but for the price paid overall for the meal we were left dissatisfied.
