The Courtyard Italian Restaurante: Reviews & Ratings
If you live anywhere in or near great yarmouth, do definitely visit this hidden gem!! Best italian food I have ever tasted, best service and the cosiest vibe! You are hosted by Daniel and the chef is Andy and they are the nicest people! BEST!
What a little gem! This felt like a truly authentic, unique and homely dining experience. The restaurant is tiny (do book!) but this adds to the charm. I enjoyed watching the chef prepare all the dishes with love and he interacted with us. The food was delicious and nothing was too much trouble if you wanted something changed. Service was excellent - relaxed, charming and fun. We had a really great evening and can’t wait to come back. Thank you.
Me and my partner had THE most amazing dining experience at The Courtyard! I’ll firstly start with the atmosphere, it’s fantastic! Such a small intimate diner with the most fantastic cook and such a friendly owner! There are 6 tables inside when we was there tonight and each one of us was all chatting away! The wine recommendation we got from the owner really blew our heads off with the beautiful sweet taste (I’ll attach a photo for anybody interested) And lastly the food... wow. One word, Speechless. Out of this world food! I personally recommend the carbonara!!! Overall I now understand why the reviews are so brilliant for this restaurant. One of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had and to top it all off it is so so reasonably priced! I would have paid double for the experience we had tonight. Couldn’t recommend enough , we will definitely be back soon. Thank you very much The Courtyard :)
After almost a week of being on a boat and eating a pub food we have moored up in Great Yarmouth with a hope of finding some good food. The Courtyard Italian was a gem. It's only 15 min walk from the Yarmouth yacht club moorings. The food and service were amazing. The best pasta I've tried. It's Italian with an incentive twist. My seafood lasagna was light and delicious, it's a very cosy place, also we were lucky to get a table it's best to book in advance. Definitely a place to visit if you like your food.
What an amazing hidden gem. Absolutely loved dining here. The food was delicious and the chef will adapt the menu to what you want. The service was super friendly. It’s very small so always book. The bruschetta was the best I have ever had, overflowing with juicy tomatoes. The seafood lasagna was filled to the brim with seafood. And the desserts were dreamy. I can’t wait to visit again.
What can I say? What an AMAZING experience! The atmosphere in this picturesque restaurant is in-matched. The food is to die for, you NEED to get the Swordfish! Every dish can be personalised to your liking, as everything is cooked fresh to order. Not to mention the service, which was also brilliant. A charismatic and friendly team. Overall a lovely experience and will definitely be returning
I have eaten here a fair few times now and had my last birthday meal here too and have had a 10/10 experience every time! The atmosphere and friendliness is perfect especially from the chef and Daniel who always have a lovely conversation with me and my boyfriend when we’re there. I have ordered the spaghetti bolognese every time I have been because it is just so good, my boyfriend has tried a variety of the menu items and has always been more than pleased with his food. The portions are good and the desert items (especially the brownie) are delicious as well. This is by far one of my favourite restaurants, credit to all that work there!
Booked for my friends birthday, what a beautiful little gem in great Yarmouth. Food brilliant service fantastic, atmosphere lovely. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely be going again. Prices very reasonable. The chef out of this world. I'm so sorry I can't remember the chef's name. But Kelly was a brilliant hostess. Thank you.
