Fantastic experience. Lots of laughter with owner Micheal and server Riccardo. Food was phenomenal, all fresh, and prepared on site. Cheesecake was the BEST I've ever had, and I've eaten a lot! 2 birthdays happened while we were there, and it was filmed, and everyone clapped and cheered to the song they put on. I 100% recommend coming here and trying it out. We will be back before we head home on Saturday. Would have taken more photos of food, but it looked too amazing to stop and take more pics.

A lovely place, and a wonderful meal. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Thank you for making it a great dining experience at a reasonable price. This place was recommended to us by the guys at the tattoo studio. We were told if we wanted a great meal to try Othello's. We went in to try and book a table and were welcomed in with open arms. I would definitely recommend this restaurant . Garlic mushrooms for both, I had gammon and pineapple, and my husband had a medium steak, all really delicious.

Although the outside looks tired don’t let that fool you. The restaurant is a very well run place with extremely friendly staff. The portion sizes are great and the food tastes even better. Both Michael & Ricky couldn’t do enough for us. We were booked in at 8pm we were promptly seated our orders were taken when we were ready and the wine was perfect. We had Scallops, garlic prawns, skate wing, surf & turf & shared a banana split because we were so full from our mains. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

First time here and we will definitely be back! Very busy night and the staff were rushed off their feet. However the service was fantastic and the food.....delicious. I could not fault anything. And the whole team had a great sense of humour. Thank you for a great night x

We had a very nice experience here whilst on holiday. We were with our children and they were extremely accommodating throughout, they moved us to a quieter table as our littlest was asleep, and were really friendly to us. The atmosphere was really nice and relaxed. The food itself was really nice, fantastic seabass, which was the stand out dish for us. Would happily recommend.

Mixed grill thrilled me, what a feast to see, The beef steak juicy, just right for me. The pork, oh wow, that fat-rich flare, Melted like magic, beyond compare. The lamb was smooth, so tender, divine, Each bite a blessing, a moment in time. A cold Peroni, crisp and light, Paired with the meats, pure taste delight. My girl joined in with a cheeky grin, Said her prawns were juicy, a win-win win. The mussels sang with a sea salt kiss, Left juicy lips in seafood bliss.

The best food in the borough of Great Yarmouth. Michael the Front of House and owner is exceptional and can’t do enough to please you. Always smiling, attentive and on hand when needed. The steak is so perfectly cooked, soft and easy to cut. The flavours are exceptional I can’t recommend Othellos high enough
