As our forefathers said - pizza is life is pizza. (I may be paraphrasing, and possibly made that…read moreup...) We love good pizza, and even on a trip where we're focusing on local cuisine, if good pizza is available, we're willing to forego a meal of local culture to put it in our mouths. Black Isle Bar is located on Church Street, in the main couple of blocks stretch of bars and restaurants in the heart of Inverness. After a day out exploring Speyside whiskies, it was exactly what we needed for dinner. You order at the counter and find a table where they will deliver your food. The pizza menu has a handful of good vegetarian options, and there are plenty of beers on tap. My wife and I shared the Broccoli and Stilton pizza...It had a good, light, and chewy crust and overall good flavor, though I didn't taste much of the honey listed as one of the ingredients. We also shared a salad, which was quite fresh. They've got a nice rooftop garden-like seating area too (though it was too cold for us Californians to enjoy that space) Great pizza in a lively atmosphere with very friendly service. We'd definitely get it again if we were in Inverness.

After eating pub food all over Scotland, mixing it up at C&T was a wonderful break in our routine. Service was excellent, and our charming if eccentric waitress made our night when we said we were too full to order a huge slice of Tiramisu, so she brought us out half a slice, on the house! Our best meal in Inverness.

We found our way to ZIZZI because it was right next to the apartment where we stayed in Inverness…read more And I'm so glad we did, because ZIZZI was great! I don't know how to describe the interior exactly, so I'll just call it rustic chic. A variety of different chairs around simple wood top tables. But each table was ornately set with large clear glasses, a wine bottle with the table number and wheat stocks(?) in it, a small candle, and vivid, brightly colored menus. And let's talk about those menus, shall we? So many tantalizing options. So many things just looked absolutely fantastic, and we were just a one couple, so we had a difficult time choosing between all of the different dishes. We started off with a Garlic Bombe. It was amazing. For drinks, we started with an Amalfi Sundown and a Limoncello Spritz. Those were both very delicious and refreshing. For our main dishes, we shared a Mushroom and Truffle with Burrata pasta (cause I have come to learn that you can never have too much burrata cheese), and a Pepperoni Campagna Pizza. These were unbeLIEVABLY good. We really didn't need any more food after all this, but they went and put a Baked Lemon and Black Currant Cheesecake on their dessert menu, and I'd never heard of that before. So naturally, I had to try it. It was fantastic, of course, and an excellent way to finish off our spectacular meal. The service was very friendly, and I was quite impressed by how fast everything came out. The place was hoppin', so that's just another indication that it's a good spot to grab a bite, when it's full of customers. We absolutely loved our visit to Inverness, and should we be fortunate to go back someday, ZIZZI would definitely be on our list of places to stop in for a meal.

The World Cup Game was on so it was lively and fun. I will tell you, this was some of the best seasoned food we had the entire time we were in the UK (two weeks). Finally we didn't feel the need to add salt to something. The flavor was just spot on. My husband had the beer steak pie with puff pastry, I had the Cullen skink, my son had a pizza (I can't remember if it was on the kids' menu or not) and my daughter had a Caesar salad with chicken, which she eats a lot at home and had been craving. Both the skink and the stew were perfectly flavored! The fish in the stew was tender and so was the steak in the pie. If we ever go back to Inverness, we will be sure to be returning to Johnny Foxes. Oh! And our waiter was wonderful! I don't remember his name but a young blonde man with a mullet kind of haircut. Thank you to him!

I suspect my review would have been more glowing if my partner and I had ordered the salmon with aromatic rice and the burger which were both recommended. Instead we got: - wild mushroom linguine with chicken breast and pancetta - 3/5 since the dish arrived with only two visible mushrooms and no pancetta. It was a bit too cream forward for my taste and they did deliver some crisp pancetta when I asked but I definitely would not call it a mushroom linguine. If my vegetarian friends had ordered this dish they would have faced linguine in cream sauce. Tasty but missing the mark. - duck breast - 4/5 this was prepared well but nothing super amazing - bread and butter - 4/5, the bread had a little peppery quality to it which made the soft white bread more interesting

I heard about Pazzo's from a friend, and was surprised at just how good a restaurant it was…read more Located just above Riva's Restaurant and overlooking the river, Pazzo's is a small restaurant, with only a few staff working, and has an open plan kitchen, which means you get a nice whiff of your meal as it's cooking! The meals are very, very tasty, and are very well priced at around £6 per meal. It is rarely busy, partly due to it's location being just above a larger Italian restaurant, but deserves a larger clientele. The staff were very friendly, and bent over backwards to ensure our meal was of the highest standard possible. Well worth a visit!

The pizza was cooked in pizza pans in the oven instead of straight in like most Italian restaurants do now resulting in a thicker base that wasn't as authentic and crisp.
