About this restaurant

Good for groups
Good for special occasions
Kid-friendly

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. In honour of Oxford's rich literary history, this branch of Zizzi runs their very own book club! If you need another reason to visit, it's also

An elderly couple were very disrespectful to my family. I have 3 boys 9yr, 7yr and 2yr. The service was very slow and from taking our order, bringing starter, main meal, dessert menu and at last the bill. The 2yr old was getting restless in between and the elderly lady sat behind our table turned and said for F**K Sake. This was upsetting as I would have thought that the couple would understand that children can get restless. This spoilt the atmosphere and we did not enjoy our time there. The staff did nothing about this. Very disappointed!!!

We were there 1hr 30 before our theatre show but ended up having leave after starters and not have mains as everything took so long.

I’m usually very fond of Zizzi’s, but this restaurant was very disappointing. Having booked a table, we waited by the door for 15 minutes before anyone had realised we’d arrived. We then waited 40 minutes for our starters to arrive, I had to ask three waiters to check our order because the other two simply forgot. The food was tasty, but the service was appalling. I wouldn’t even give it one star. Our table went completely unnoticed the entire evening, it took forever for someone to take our plates and the staff were constantly rushing around making the environment quite stressful and difficult to enjoy my meal.
