Il Calabrese

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.

We managed to book a table during our recent stay, and we found it to be outstanding. We dined early in the evening so the restaurant wasn't full but that suited us. The food was great, especially the arancini starter. Would acknowledge what some people are saying in regard to some of the portion sizes, but wouldn't see it as a massive issue. The portions were more than adequate for us. Thoroughly recommended.

Popped in for lunch, a definite return to place. The platter of antipasto was super, far too much for one, but so good. There’s a very good pizza menu, but we opted for crab pasta. It came looking and smelling very good. Not many ingredients, but definitely the best crab pasta meal I’ve had. I like simple but delicious when it comes to my fish and seafood. We had a salad bowl between us, it complemented the pasta wonderfully. Top it off with tiramisu, home made of course absolutely glorious meal.
