Our authentic Italian cuisine and friendly welcoming atmosphere make our restaurant the perfect venue for a relaxing evening for customers old and new. A glance into head chef Rafe's culinary beginnings sets the scene for what we guarantee will be every foodie's dream.
Our restaurant has built a reputation for both its amazing Italian food and relaxing atmosphere, all food is cooked to order so most tastes and requirements can be accommodated - we do not provide a separate children's menu as we find all children are more than happy with our recommendations! A glance into head chef Rafe's culinary beginnings sets the scene for what we guarantee.
Since the inception of the restaurant in 1999 we have been insistent on using top quality produce with the finest prosciutto, bresaola, Italian cheeses, biscotti etc hand picked from Italy and our fresh ingredients sourced from local suppliers. When in season we buy game from the Kirby Cane estate, pork and beef is Suffolk or Norfolk reared and all our meat and poultry is freedom farmed and English.
The Olive Tree Italian restaurant has built a solid reputation throughout Norfolk, Suffolk and the whole of East Anglia for delivering the very finest Italian food. Our head chef Rafe's has spent a lifetime perfecting his culinary skills which delight and excite our customers time and time again. So what are you waiting for?

Our first camper outing and first time visit to Suffolk - what a beautiful age old county with surprise after surprise round every corner and in every village. We stayed at Wardley Hill campsite which is only a few minutes walk from another hidden gem - The Olive Tree restaurant. The chef is originally from Naples and his English wife is front of house. What a lovely welcoming couple. The food was gloriously Italian simple and very tasty, just like being in Italy again. Vegetables from their garden too. Will definitely go again and look forward to it. Grazie mille, Ci vediamo presto.
