What OpenTable Diner doesn't like about Zizzi:
Avoid this place at all costs! I had to give at least 1 star to leave a review, but my experience was so terrible that we ended up leaving without even eating. The woman at the front reception was disgustingly rude, aggressive, sarcastic, and behaved like a bully towards us. It's unfortunate because we had been loyal customers for a long time before this incident. It's amazing how one bad employee can spoil the entir... View all feedback. What Anon likes about Zizzi:
We visited this restaurant on a trip to Durham for the Lumiere festival.

With only a couple of good Italian restaurants in Durham (Bistro Italiano, Capriccio), this place falls short compared to the others.

This restaurant's reviews were a mix of extreme highs and lows. Some customers had terrible experiences, citing rude staff and poorly prepared food. However, others had a positive dining experience, praising the friendly service, delicious meals, and accommodating staff. The vegan options were especially well-received. Overall, it seems that this restaurant has the potential to provide a great dining experience, but consistency in service and food quality may be an issue.
