Zizzi

Decided to go here because it was near my hotel but it’s not anything great to be honest. It’s was decent and fair. Food was just average. But I really enjoyed their tiramisu and their chocolate and vanilla gelato sundae. I don’t know how service is here in Europe or in London in general, but it was ridiculously slow. Maybe it’s different here compared in America but it was just slow and not that of a great service. I guess that’s my only complaint.

had wild boar ragu, berry cyder, and a tasty chocolate cake. I noticed all the local places were closing and panicked trying to find dinner. they were getting ready to close but happily let me in. i didn’t feel rushed at all. the food was tasty, the service was great. the place was full when i arrived. it seems a very nice — but slightly noisy location.

service hervorragend, essen sehr gut, pizzen haben einen sehr dünnen Teig, sehr zu empfehlen.

Whenever I am in London, I have a difficult time finding food that I like. I guess you could say I am a spoiled American, but I find a lot of the food to be bland or just not what I am used to. I was so excited to come across Zizzi as it was close to our hotel The Grange at Tower Bridge AND the food was excellent! Service was also stellar. We were there late night so there were not a lot of customers, however, some rowdy drunken guys had stumbled into the place and were messing about and being loud and the servers/​manager quickly and quietly took care of the situation and carried on with their superb customer service. I will go here every time I’m in London!

We wanted good pizza and pasta after a long day and that is exactly what we got. The pasta with prawns is a great choice and the spicy sausage pizza rustica is amazing! Our service was fine. This world is filled with whiners who always look for the worst everywhere. Disregard the negative reviews.

Terrible service. No one seated me, seated myself. Ordered 3 things, they forgot one. This chain is heading down the (pasta) tubes…

The husband and I had just finished out the day with a tour of The Tower of London, and it was getting dark, so we decided to eat somewhere nearby. It’s hard choosing just a handful of restaurants to hit while you’re in town, so we didn’t really try to choose. We just pointed somewhere and said, «okay, there.»
Of course it wasn’t that easy, but for the sake of this review, let’s pretend it was.
The place was pretty, warm, and inviting. It looked like the kind of restaurant you’d like to find yourself while on your honeymoon, which, as it just so happened, Dan and I were.
Our server was sweet, and the food was… Well, I can’t remember. I like to think this means it was good, because if it was bad, then I *would* remember. Isn’t that the way it goes? Anyhow, looking back, I can only recall feeling very happy while I ate here, so that definitely counts for something. It might count for the fact that there was a whole lot of London Undergrounding going on in my day, and I was happy to be stationary for the moment, but even that is all right.
I did notice something here, though, that would become a recurring circumstance on our trip… It took an awful long time to get our check. Now, if you’re from the UK and you happen to be reading this, please feel free to drop me a message and tell me if my impression that this is a cultural thing is correct. In The States, we’re in, we’re fed, and we’re out. There isn’t a whole lot of lingering goes on… And maybe this falls back to the whole «Americans work for tips» thing, and therefor servers would love for you to get the eff out so that they can herd another group of tippers in. This actually makes sense to me.
Anyway, I think this place might possibly have been a chain, but that is neither here nor there. I remember it with quite a bit of fondness, and that is good enough for me.

I normally don’t like restaurant chains and avoid them as much as possible. This one time when we were hungry, Zizzi was close by and judging by the office crowd that comes in for lunch, we thought Zizzi offers good meals and dropped in.
We got seated immediately and after looking at the menu, I ordered a risotto con pollo e funghi and my husband ordered a ravioli. We ordered a cappuccino as well.
Service was quick; our meals were served soon. My risotto was bland; I liked the different varieties of mushrooms added to the plate but the risotto itself was super bland. Likewise the ravioli that my husband had ordered emitted a weird after taste. Cappuccino was not better.
For sure we didn’t enjoy our meal and wouldn’t recommend Zizzi.

Great Italian restaurant by Tower of London, good service, great food and good atmosphere.
Would recommend the calamari to start and lasagna as a main, fantastic lasagna.
Respectable prices

I had no problem with the service, there were plenty of free tables on a Tuesday evening and it’s a reasonably priced restaurant chain. It just isn’t great food, merely OK.
Inconsistency in main meal portion sizes always annoys me and I was the unlucky one who’d ordered the main that is half the amount of food of all the others.
We came here on in mid December and it was pretty deserted, I have no idea when they might ever be busy if peak party season looks like this.
