Having been to this restaurant twice, I feel torn between giving it 3 stars or 4 stars. Perhaps 3.5…read morestars would be more appropriate. The first time I came to Sorrento was a few years ago now and I really enjoyed the evening and food. I thought the staff were amazing and was impressed with this little restaurant. However, I recently went a few weeks ago around Mothers Day. When I telephoned on the Wednesday to make a reservation for Saturday I found the man on the other end of the phone to be a bit abrupt. He advised me that the only slot they had was for 6pm, just after they open and added "if you want any later then you'll have to go somewhere else". To me, it sounded quite like I was inconveniencing him for making a booking at their restaurant. The food I ordered was fine, starter was better than the main course, but it wasn't as good as I'd expected and felt a bit disappointed as I remembered it being better the time begore. Even though I didn't feel particularly welcome to make a booking, I'd still recommend trying to make a reservation to avoid being turned away as this restaurant does get full pretty quickly. I think I'd return again just to see if next time I enjoy the experience a bit more, if next time I feel it's any better then I'll amend my review and leave it with 4 stars.

The quality of the food is of an acceptable standard, and I haven't been disappointed yet, but then they do have to compete with several other Italian themed restaurants within close proximity. They have a pretty good selection of wines but short on beers, but the prices rare quite reasonable ranging from £10 - £25 per head depending on how many courses you have. They also subscribe to voucher codes which regularly give two for one offers etc. so if your on a budget then try this link, you could save some pennies! http://www.vouchercodes.co.uk

This is my second time here, even though I grew up around Chadwell Heath for years. The service is…read morea bit slow and understaffed, however when the food arrives, it's all worth the wait. The atmosphere is very relaxed and it feels like your in Italy in a small terrace on the hills. As I am a huge prawn fan, I always order the butterfly buttered prawns with the garlic sauce. The stove baked pizzas are very homemade and crisp. Price is reasonable, your looking at about £15 exaggerate per head for a stater, shared pizza and wine, and they even give you free olives in garlic and lemon sauce for free as soon as you sit down. Will be coming back more and more.

The meatballs in tomato sauce with melted cheese with a hint of rosemary made for a nice first course, the chicken and pancetta rigatoni in a creamy sauce was cooked just how i liked it, sadly We didn't have time for dessert as we were off to see Lee Evans at the O2 (which was subsequently cancelled) NB: Wildwoods shares its position in the high street with ASK, but Wildwoods wins hands down for service, food and atmosphere.

We've been going to Zizzi's in Romford on and off for lots of celebrations over the past few…read moremonths. Our wedding anniversary on New Year's eve, Mother's day in March, my birthday in April and now Father's day - 16th June. We had originally planned to take advantage of the Father's day special 3 course menu for £19.99 each (Zizzi's do these deal quite a lot, if you get on the mailing list you can get notifications and vouchers throughout the year)! We decided not to partake in the three courses as we had to go elsewhere after our meal. We booked ahead for a 1pm reservation, and got there 15 minutes early. We were seated straight away with a smile from the manager. And were seated in a nice quiet spot next to another couple and close to the open kitchens and toilets. We sat and decided what we'd like and a waiter came along very quickly to take our order, within 5 to 10 minutes! So we gave him our order straight away without much of a wait. I ordered a pollo prosciutto insalata and a lemon san pellegrino. Elle ordered a super zucca insalata with chicken skewers and a coke. Our drinks came almost immediately after ordering and we sat and had an interesting conversation while waiting for our food. Compared to a few years ago Zizzi's Romford has changed its decor; previously they had an artist paint his impressions of Romford as murals on their walls, (I see a previous reviewer didn't understand "the graphitti" on the walls, maybe this will help them understand?) specifically Romford is famous for its greyhound racing track (for 90 years - founded in 1929), one of the last left in England. The art on the walls depicts greyhounds in various racing poses. They actually had a few signs saying what the artwork was and who the artist was who created it, but I digress. The new decor, similarly are murals from a local artist of deer and hummingbirds. (see pics) They look very nice, maybe not to everyone's tastes but I like them. Anyhow....Food. We get the food within 15 minutes, and it's delicious! I really enjoyed my food and finished very quickly. I seem to be taking a lot of pictures of empty plates recently....Elle enjoyed her food too. We ended spending £32 or so. We will definitely be going back, we may try a different branch for our next visit.

Main: ...But if you're going to put skinny pizzas on the the menu that include an "Italian naked slaw" maaaaaybe add a little more info... The skinny primavera pizza was really nice - the wholemeal base has come on in leaps and bounds and was actually delicious. The "Italian naked slaw" however turned out to be an old looking pile of greens (mostly rocket), topped with some aged looking fennel and a crap load of beetroot. Fennel and beetroot. Surely that cannot be a thing, Italy?? And in no way can that monstrosity be a 'slaw - naked or dressed to the nines. Doesn't help that I hate beetroot with a passion. Replaced with a normal side salad which was much much better. Dessert: Lemon ice cream concoction and an Irish coffee. Neither were the best I'd ever had and I normally rate Zizzi's Irish coffees (this one had too much cream and wasn't hot enough FYI). We had a tastecard which we were planning on using - until we heard our waiter tell the table next door that tables had to be booked two hours in advance to use them. We never booked. Who books Zizzi's 6:30pm on a Monday night?? We used the tastecard via another waitress. SO HE LIED! All in all, a poor representation of a Zizzi's. And WHAT ON EARTH is that graffiti about outside the restaurant? Will you look at that - I was only going to write a basic review and it turned into a rant...that's what happens if you mess with my 'slaw!!!
