About this restaurant

  • Healthy
Italian restaurant chain Zizzi opened the doors of its very first branch in London's Chiswick in 1999. Now there are over 100 branches, all decorated in an appealing contemporary style. Wood-fired ovens, open kitchens and modern interior design with locally influenced art features make for a vibrant atmosphere. As for the food, they serve up a variety of traditional Italian dishes including all the usual suspects: salads, antipasti, pasta, pizza, calzone, risotto as well as fish and meat mains and desserts. What Zizzi really pride themselves on is sourcing good quality ingredients; salads are dressed with white balsamic vinegar from Modena, for example, and offer Goddess Olives, a variety known for their firm flesh and nutty flavour. The modestly priced wine list is dominated by Italian wines, starting at £13.45 for a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. Newcastle's Zizzi on Grey Street is a surprising oasis from the bustling city centre.

    Made a reservation via top table about 2 hours before wishing to dine. When we checked with restaurant we were told that they could not fit us in so unfortunately cannot review :(

    Firstly I must say it was on a busy Saturday and I booked a table for Zizzi, the restaurant itself may or may not be to blame. However I booked a table for 8pm with Toptable and recieved a call from the manager half an hour later to advise they were actually fully booked and could not accomodate us until near enough 10pm. Clearly there is, or has been a communication breakdown between Toptable and their clients which will need adressing as I spent a good hour or do after this calling around other venues having to book a table.

    Enjoyable meal,but the pizza was too large and we needed a doggy bag to take home half the pizza. I would like to have had an ice bucket to keep the white wine chilled . Taking every thing in to account my daughter and I enjoyed our meal .

    We dined upstairs over looking the ground floor which was a good location. The waiter was excellent. We both enjoyed our food pre theatre but it was a little pricy .

    A perfect location and dining experience for a girlie catch up. All requests promptly catered for in a lively atmosphere. We will certainly book Zizzi's for our next get together.

    I stood at the door waiting to be seated for 10 minutes, during which not a single member of staff noticed my prescence. The same happened when another friend arrived. During our visit the service was ridiculously slow. Twice I went to the bar to collect our drinks myself, they had been made by the bar staff, but our waiter didnt collect them and bring them to us, he just left them there sitting while the ice melted. Having to call upon my own waitressing experience when I am out socially is unacceptable. I would also say that the wines and drinks in general are expensive. Fabulous food and beautiful decor. The 3 course meal for £19.95 is brilliant value for money. Just a shame the customer service was so poor.

    Food was ok, not as good as previous visits. Service was also not as good as it usually is, but still ok.
