Absolute gem of a restaurant. It's quite small (I counted seating for 26) so I would recommend booking. The owner and staff have created a warm, very friendly atmosphere and we were made to feel very welcome. The menu caters extremely well for the majority of diets and everything is freshly cooked. The owner is very helpful and is happy for you to pre-order your choice of meals in advance. This means you don't run the risk of something not being available , which is always a possibility when it's fresh ingredients and cooked to order. We had pizza, tiger prawns and jerk pork burger, all of which were fabulous and the tiramisu dessert is amazing. The level of service was perfect, not rushed, attentive, extremely polite and friendly. Thank you for a lovely evening, Desmond's has just become our first choice restaurant in Lowestoft.

Very talented owner who not only has a great menu, food and drinks at very reasonable prices but is an accomplished artist and singer. Good luck in your new venue at 149 London Road South, Lowestoft.

Had a private dinner party here tonight and food was delicious and served efficiently by Bethan and owner Desmondo, who did a fabulous job of serving food hot and on time. Drinks and food very reasonably priced and tables looked gorgeous too. Poetry by Desmondo added to the evening event too.

This is a real hidden jem wonderful home cooked Italian bistro which is a cafe during the week and opens Saturday evening as a bistro. Desmond makes all guests extremely welcome. The tables are laid with crisp white table cloths and silver cutlery . Food can be adapted to suit your need and price is extremely reasonable. Would highly recommend 👌

Honestly this place was quite average. Had heard good things about the food but we were quite disappointed. The calamari was chewy in places and the pepperoni pizza looked and tasted like a frozen pizza (harsh but truth). I ordered a dish off the specials which was listed as chicken alfredo. I feel as though they definitely should specify on the menu that this is NOT pasta and that it is in fact chicken in a mushroom sauce with potatoes. It tasted fine but nothing to rave home about. We were a little disappointed as we were seated in the snug at the front which was cramped and draughty. The staff were pleasant enough, no complaints there. Unfortunately wouldn’t return.

Absolutely faultless food and service, only pizza that’s ever compared to the ones we had in Rome, super lovely staff too!

This is not a very big place and they only seem to have one sitting. They opened at 6 and we were booked in for 6:30. Every table was full but it wasn't too noisy and there was some background music but it wasn't too loud. We all really enjoyed our food and had a lovely evening. Our waitress was really good too, although she kept telling us that she didn't work there any more she had just been called in to help out. Parking nearby wasn't easy, but that's not the fault of the restaurant. My only complaint is that I was sat on a bench seat and it wasn't very comfortable. It was ok after I folded my coat and sat on that though. I let my wife and my sister sit on the chairs opposite and they didn't have any complaints about their seats.
