Came quite late one evening as we were in the area driving home, seated by I believe a manager, who later didn’t really pay us much attention as they were standing by the tills ‘cashing up’. After trying to flag down a couple of other servers we finally got our food, wife’s ragu pasta needed replacing as it wasn’t hot enough as it had sat on the side to be brought to the table for too long.. garlic bombe was delicious and hot, toward the end of us being there a waitress called Lauren ? I think that’s her name, she was blondeish and cleaning the cups/glasses behind the bar, she came over and really gave us her all. So it’s been a mixed visit really. Didn’t start too good but was saved a little by someone else. Would come back, probably not an hour before closing and I’d probably make sure we dress up rather than coming in our work clothes so we fit in a little more Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2

Friendly servers, great food and a wonderful atmosphere. Zizzi’s really has rustic Italian feel and elite cuisine, and is very worth visiting when you’re going on a fancy date or just when you’re nearby. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Your booking never made it to the restaurant! Luckily there was availability. Restaurant less than half full, arrived 7:30, first response 7:45 for drinks. First course 8:30, main meal cold and returned, at least discount given. Waitress was excellent and understanding. The Chef’s are too slow and when pressured make mistakes. Needs work, hate to think what it would of been like if it was full.

I spent 35 minutes calling them to change my reservation but they kept hanging up saying they can’t hear me, if they took the cordless phone into a quiet room they could hear me but they didn’t so very frustrating. They could not find our reservation either as it was made on this app so I’m guessing u less the restaurants check their emails they have no idea we’ve booked! When we got there it was very loud, so loud my father had to take his hearing aid out as it was so loud which then meant we couldn’t talk to him as he could not hear us. Food was great as always but customer service and speed was poor as usual but I keep going back as the food is great

More information

Despite occasional service hiccups, repeat diners often return specifically for particular standouts — garlic‑rich starters and seafood plates get frequent praise — and individual team members have a reputation for turning a rough evening into a memorable one. If you want a smoother visit, aim for earlier evening slots rather than arriving right before closing.
