Came in yesterday for lunch after searching for a dog friendly restaurant. Reviews were good so decided to give it a try. We ordered 3 courses and some olives. Some menu items were not available which we were informed of quickly. Olives were great quality and i could have devoured several portions. I ordered the fried mix, everything was great, the stuffed olive and fried courgette were the best part. It also had 1 piece of fried polenta, 2 mozzarella sticks and 2 other cheese and herb fritters. I could tell some were pre frozen but quality was top notch so they didnt detract from the fresh items. My friend had the burrata which looked amazing, lovely presentation, portions of everything were great. For main we ordered a slice of lucifero pizza and a Da vinci piadina . Both were freshly prepared and had plenty of toppings. To finish we both ordered an affogato, espresso was lovely and strong. Not too bitter, the ice-cream was hazelnut and even had a chocolate center. (I highly recommended this if you visit). The restaurant was busy when we arrived, had a great homely atmosphere, staff were attentive and friendly. I will definitely be returning soon to try some more of the menu without a doubt.

It is one of the restaurants that offers you fresh pizza and they have the flexibility to prepare the taste that suits you

I have been here twice now. The first time was fantastic and so was the second.

Lovely Italian restaurant close to the centre of Norwich. The food was delicious and the service good. The chicken in a mushroom sauce was great, as was the melanzane. The profiteroles were gorgeous.

Delicious Italian dishes and desserts. The seafood risotto I had was wonderful. Very friendly staff. Great ambience.

Have been a few times when in the city. Superb Pizza, and tremendous Pasta. Great authentic Italian Food. Small and informal dining.

Not sure why this restaurant has good reviews. Starters were good but it was just prawns. No one enjoyed the main courses. My main was inedible, it was octopus and it was so tough, you couldn’t chew or swallow it. Sent it back but it was the same the second time. So I had no main course and ate what my partner left. The seafood in his was very over cooked, I would think it had been reheated. They seemed to have people in reviewing the food. There were a few tables they were making a fuss over and we were neglected and service was slow. The only redeeming thing, was the cocktails were good but food and service were bad.

Had amazing birthday party at Cosmo. Lots of food and tasted amazing. Good service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend and will definitely go again!

Great restaurant. Fresh Italian food and amazingly crispy pizzas, would thoroughly recommend.

order nearly tookl 2 hours to come, I order at a percific time so it doesn't interrupt my 1 year old bedtime routine. today that wasn't the case. why have a order time if you don't stick to it and deliver it when you feel like it?

This is a really lovely place to enjoy delicious Italian food. Fourth visit over the last couple of years as visitors to Norwich. Extensive menu means you can choose from a wide range of authentic pasta, meat and pizza dishes. Wine list works. Service is great. Atmosphere lovely. Strongly Recommend. Tip: try the sirloin steak and any past seafood dish, like the others, are generously portioned.

The complimentary lemonade was nice. 45 minutes after ordering, went to ask how long the food would be as we had a theatre booking (reservation at 6pm, theatre at 7.30). Just before 7, the waitress advised that it would be around 15 minutes, they hadn’t started cooking it. We said we couldn’t wait. It then changed to 10 mins, 5mins and then, as we got up to go, it was in the oven! Zero confidence at this point. If your kitchen is backed up, you should perhaps advise diners that there will be a longer wait for food. Won’t be returning any time soon.
