Our story

Tripolitania is a soulful neighbourhood cucina inspired by the rich and complex flavours of Libyan-Italian cuisine. At its heart is a story of heritage, history, and home – and at its helm, a chef with a deeply personal connection to the dishes she serves.

WE LOVE DOGS

We’re huge dog lovers here, and we adore welcoming well-behaved pooches into the restaurant. Just a little heads-up – we have a limited number of cosy dog-friendly spots, so please make sure to book ahead and let us know your four-legged friend is joining. Tail wags guaranteed.

WE HATE WASTE

At Tripolitania, we’re genuinely passionate about cutting down food waste. Anything we don’t sell that day or week gets transformed into new specials... nothing goes unloved. Every peel, stalk and trimming has a purpose: it either goes into our house stocks or straight into the compost. Good food shouldn’t be wasted, and we work hard to make sure it never is.

WE LOVE LOCAL

We’re proud to keep things close to home. All of our meat and fish come from trusted local producers, supporting small businesses while ensuring exceptional freshness and a lower carbon footprint. Our vegetables are grown right here in Suffolk and Norfolk, picked at their best. And because great food deserves great drinks, we also champion local breweries and wineries, celebrating the incredible craft on our doorstep.

What Our Guests Say

Utterly delicious food and a warm welcome at Tripolitania Restaurant tonight... I overheard that they have only been open for 7 weeks, but it's not at all evident - they seem to have everything running smoothly and well. [...] It was worth every penny. Our best meal out in a long time! Thank you to the whole team. We don't live locally (yet) but we'll be back!

What Our Guests Say

Didn't actually want to leave this review as I would like to gatekeep this place before reservations blow up but OMG what an amazing place! You can tell the moment you walk in that so much care has gone into restoring it - it feels warm, intimate and magical. The lovely owners have absolutely nailed it with their Libyan–Italian fusion; the food is incredible. I stopped mid-bite in delicious amazement to announce so.
