Zizzi (St John's Wood)

Zizzi to some is merely a faceless chain restaurant, but the truth is it does what it does very well! If you are looking for decent quality italian food at a reasonable price then this is the place. We're not talking artisan bread and rustic tuscan feasts here, we're talking carbonara, marinara and spag bol. Nicely presented and well-cooked. Also, for the diet-conscious, their spaghetti pomodoro is only 5 weightwatchers points Moreover in these credit-crunchy times, money is more and more important and zizzi constantly have an offer on for buy one get one free or buy one, get one for £1. These usually run Monday to Thursday and make it great to meet up with a ...  Read the complete review

Zizzie is an Italian food chain. I have visited several of the branches in central London, most often the one on the Strand. The food is decent, and in the same mid priced range as other similar restaurants such as Strada (£7-12 for mains). My favourite dishes are their pesto pasta with artichoke, although the sauce can be quite heavy, and their mushroom and chicken risotto, which is very good. The portion sizes are decent, the only time I had an issue with the food was once when I had the pesto pasta take-away, and I felt ill after- I chalked it up to the fact that I had eaten it an hour after it had been cooked, although not sure why that should be a ...  Read the complete review

Yesterday I had dinner at the Sheffield branch of Zizzis. Zizzis is an Italian resturant chain. They serve a variety of pizzas, pastas, meat and seafood dishes. We arrived at about 7pm, and although the resturant was very busy we were able to get a table for 2 straight away. The resturant is set out really nicely, with a balcony all around a central section where there are more tables and the kitchen. If you are on the balcony you can watch the chefs working which is quite fun as they make pizzas and set things on fire. We shared garlic bread to start at a cost of £3.45. We got quite a big portion, and it didnt taste really ...  Read the complete review

I have been visiting the Zizzi chain of restuarants for many many years now. I keep going back because i find the food delicious and the prices very reasonable. I have been to several Zizzi restuarants in the South East, Beckenham, Bromley, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells, and Sevenoaks. All of them are great, but my boyfriend and i particulary like the Sevenoks restuarant. This is because the staff are great and always go above to beyond to make sure your meal is an enjoyable one. ** Why I love Zizzi's** If you love simple Italian food, then you will love this place as much as i do. They serve Pasta/Risotto dishes, Pizza/Calzone, Salads, ...  Read the complete review

I visited a Zizzi restaurant for the first time about 3 years ago. I like their look; there was a wooden floor and the tables were laid out nicely and it looked nice and spacious inside. The lighting was done nicely and is not too dim unlike some other places, it's nice and clean and has a pleasant atmosphere. The food at Zizzi's is Italian style and they have quite a nice variety on their menu; from pizza's to pasta dishes and calzone's. I've tried their spicy calzone and liked it a lot; it's very meaty and flavourful and the dough isn't too thick, which is great in my opinion. I think their pizza's and calzone's are stone baked and they have a lovely ...  Read the complete review
