Nice lasagna, had a tea with it but was pipping hot so could not drink with my meal so beware of that. Staff were standing right next to our table all throughout the meal talking and staring in our direction, felt very awkward and I comfortable trying to eat, please address this and move the staff

BAH HUMBUG! After a hectic shopping trip today my partner and I decided to stop in for some lunch. Shown to our seats and the atmosphere was very subdued. The waitress who served us was very pleasant. The food was nice but not memorable. Upon entering we were informed that no vouchers were being accepted over the Christmas period and it also turns out that over the Christmas period that Blue light discount has been stopped too. How very Christmassy of you Zizzi at a time of the year when a little discount could help some people through. Even though your website states that you do accept blue light??♂️??♂️

Very friendly staff, couldnt do enough for us. Told us about allergens as we had an allergy. We were early for our booking and they accomodated us. Great food and service couldn't fault our visit.

Went to zizzi's while shopping as usual,but the service and food not the usual standard.I ordered the Casareccia Delle Casa which was very dry&only had 3 tiny bits of chicken in it?Partner had the Herb Rolled Pork Belly which again very dry&hard&greasy potatoes.The service was very slow,but its wasn't that busy to be honest!Staff seemed to be talking amongst themselves rather than attending its customers!We wouldn't rush back to be honest

Had some lovely lunches with hubby in this restaurant. I do love the garlic bread with balsamic glaze as a starter. Simple and yet delicious. The king prawn linguine has been my main course for several occasions. While hubby favourite is lasagne. Sometimes, simplicity is the best.

My boyfriend and I visited Zizzi for our anniversary, and unfortunately, our experience was marred by disappointing service. Despite the promising menu, the waitstaff seemed disinterested, avoiding eye contact and taking a considerable amount of time to attend to us in our corner table. Ordering through the phone added to the impersonal touch, and when the food arrived, they neglected to inquire about our preferences, leaving our pastas cheese-less. Additionally, I tried to use my uni days discount, but the waiters refused, citing an event in Cardiff. I would have appreciated being informed about this beforehand - when being seated, as the chaotic experience left us feeling frustrated and disappointed. It's unfortunate that such a special occasion was overshadowed by this issue.

Lovely restaurant and great service for all of us, had kids colouring on the table also. Kids menu was a good selection. The only downfall was the kids starters didn't come out till after the mains which was weirdWheelchair accessibility: All ground floor accessible

What a disappointing visit from start to finish. Due to an event in the Arena opposite the restaurant Zizzi weren’t accepting affiliate vouchers or parent offers. There was no mention of this when I booked a table the day before. Also due to the event they had taken the Classic pizza off the menu - as the chef would have to make two types of pizza dough…they eventually obliged in making me a rustica pizza but served on a plate (I refuse to eat off a chopping board). The dish arrived and I had to send it back, it was so thin and crispy and was more akin to a poppadom with toppings - I told them they shouldn’t call it a pizza. The chef’s excuse was that the garlic oil made it crispy…it was inedible. I ordered the Zucca salad instead which was ok but not great. The manager was very nice about it all so I will give them credit for that. This has put me off Zizzi for a very long time. Everything about it used to be so much better.

Amazing food and service, the gentleman who served us was very attentive and checked up on us to ensure we had a good time. I had the margarita pizza with harisa chicken which was delicious. Would recommend to anyone looking to have a great time!

The food here is great and the service from ordering to food coming out was pretty quick.Just a couple of little niggles, the food for a small child could have been a little better presented. The spaghetti Bolognese for a 3 year old came with very long spaghetti and the ice cream came with a large spoon where a smaller one would have been more appropriate. Other than this everything else was spot on.Kid-friendliness: More thoughts needed on presentation for young children
Arrived on a busy early Saturday evening without a reservation. Table found for us. The waiting staff was polite and efficient. Only after a quick meal before going to a gig. Opted for the fiery chicken pizza. Which was very

Atmosphere and food were great, been here twice and the service has been excellent both times. Shout out to our waiter Jack who was so friendly and helpful :)

Soul bread was hard and felt stale. Also, ravioli was a disappointment. The cheese was not fresh. Plus, the sauce was like ready from the tin or packed box. Nothing authentic. Total disappointment

We were in the Capital for an evening watching Jimmy Carr. My fancied going to an Italian restaurant, so I booked a table on their website. Which was really easy to do.The restaurant was very crisp and clean, with plenty of seating. Pizzas are cooked in an authentic pizza oven. The bar had copies amounts of bottled wine. The staff were attentive during each course and regularly checked on everything to do with our visit. They were also friendly, welcoming, and professional. We even shared a laugh and smile.We both decided to have the 3 course set menu, which had a decent variety to choose from. For starters we both chose the King Prawn Spiedini. The prawns were succulent and cooked to perfection, the accompanying garlic sauce was delicious. For mains my wife chose the Spaghetti Chorizo Carbonara and I chose the Pan-fried Sea Bass. The Carbonara was rich, creamy, and plentiful. The bass was succulent, smoky, and had a lovely crispy skin with caramelisation. For dessert my wife had the Lemon Swirl Cheesecake and I had the Tiramisu. Both desserts were light, refreshing, and a perfect end to a perfect meal.
