The pasta was overcooked and too spicy. Please, indicate on the menu that certain pasta is just spicy, so people won't waste their money just like I did.

Had a meal at Zizzi’s in Colchester tonight. My friend and I had a very unpleasant experience. We ordered a bottle of wine with our meal, the lady that was taking the order checked our ID’s, this action was reasonable, however as our ID’s showed I am 18 ( the person buying the bottle of wine) and my friend is 17. We then had the general manager ( as stated by said person) bring over the bottle with two glass’s but then proceeded to request for our ID’s again and refused to serve my friend even though I was the adult buying the wine. For reference the law and government website states I can buy certain alcohol with a meal for anyone 17 and over.The manager then proceeded to refuse my friend the beverage and walked away with the extra glass without asking my friend if they would like a drink. My friend then to had call the said waiter back to our table to order a drink where he processed to touch her around the waist and said “ yes darling what would you like”. She orders a coke and he walks away and it takes about 10 minutes for them to bring her drink over.We have now have two issues, however one has now taken precedence- why did a male general manager who has become fully aware of the age of my friend due to showing her ID as requested, feel it was resonable to put his hands on my friend?This form of harassment should not be accepted and we will be making a formal complaint.As for the original incident, this was badly explained and incorrectly dealt with by the self proclaimed general manager.A form of correspondence would be expected at the first stance

I ordered a spicy chicken pasta, garlic bread and some drinks. The drinks tasted very artificial like just added some flavour and alcohol sold at a club. The pasta lacked flavour and the only flavour it had was oil. Expensive for no reason. Garlic bread was reasonable.

Decent mid-week visit, food good quality for chain restaurant, definitely needs a voucher as many of the dishes overpriced in my opinion.Restaurant does get cold in the winter with doors close to downstairs tables being opened on a regular basis.The Black Forest Cocktail that my partner ordered was rather lacking in alcohol.We really enjoyed the Chicken Calabrese & Salmon & Avocado Salad were very nice.

Food is average, not as good as it used to be. Nothing wrong with it though, just had better.
was a nice place and refurbishment was good given whats happened in recent years you would have thought the bathroom facilities would have more no contact options.

I had no problem booking a table for 5 with a day's notice. For a Friday night in December perhaps the alarm bells should of rung! The waitress was polite and helpful and the atmosphere of the restaurant was ok. The reason for a low mark is the stone cold ravioli served on a cold bowl (which was taken back to the kitchen and clearly microwaved, as the tomatoes were rock hard in the middle when returned) The margarita pizza that was burnt underneath. The Gluten free pizza base that was not cooked enough in the centre (got cold quickly) and the small portion size of the hot salmon risotto. The 1 starter that was had, was garlic bread with onion. That was nice apparently. I was handed a folder to find GF/dietary options by a tick chart. This restaurant has recently been refurbished and looks nice. But disappointed with the food.
