About this restaurant

Valentine's Day Special – Indulge in a romantic three-course meal! On February 14th, we will be exclusively serving our special Valentine's set menu.

At our restaurant, we believe that dining is more than just a meal—it's an experience that brings people together. Our ethos is built on the foundation of family, community, and shared moments.
We understand that family doesn't have to be defined by blood; it includes friends, partners, and anyone with whom we share a special bond.

We offer seating across two floors, and you are welcome to request either upstairs or downstairs seating when making your reservation. However, please note that during busy periods, we may not always be able to guarantee your preferred seating choice. If you have any accessibility or mobility concerns, kindly mention them in your booking, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. Thank you for your understanding!

    We visited Trio with my parents, who were over in Spain. Mum is Italian and can be quite picky about her food. She had a bit of a thing about having to have vegetables at the start of her meal (sorry, Trio), but the staff was very polite and accommodating. The home-made pasta was lovely (I had the vongole), the burrata was too, and the pizzas were very nice. Service was very quick, polite and friendly. My husband and I will definitely be returning to sample more of the pasta (we love the look of the seafood dish but had had this at home the night before, hence not ordering it), but perhaps at a different time of week and day (we went Monday lunchtime, and it was only us in the restaurant) when there is a little more atmosphere. Overall, though, very pleasant and welcoming and the decor, lovely.

    This was our first time visiting Trio to celebrate my partner's birthday. I'm pleased we did as the food was absolutely delicious. Not just the bellies but our hearts were full too. The staff who served us were fantastic and friendly. Very good attention to any requests and delivered. Thank you and we will visit soon.

    We chose this as a convenient half way stop between Norfolk and Kent. Chose it because we all like Italian food. Easy to book online. Convenient parking nearby. Very friendly welcome. All the staff were very attentive. Food was excellent and good choice. Would definitely recommend and will use again. It was worth the slight detour off the M11.
