Myself, boyfriend and my friend who was visiting decided to come here on a Saturday evening. I…read morebooked a table as I have heard its quite a busy restaurant. We were seated straight away and offered the menu and drinks list. The only thing I didn't like about this place was the service. I found the staff to be quite moody, unfriendly and not very attentive, there seemed to be a group of adults with their children for a birthday who they seemed to be focusing more on than the other customers. Being italian myself I always find italian restaurants have the most friendly staff who always try their hardest to ensure your dining experience is the best it can be...this place had the opposite effect on me. This is a shame as the food is really good and I really enjoyed our meal and variety of cocktails. Some of the younger staff members need to put a smile on their face and be more attentive. Our starters came and we had no knifes, it took too long to get a staff members attention that we gave up and just ended up cutting our starters with the fork. My boyfriend ordered another beer and it was just slammed on the table and the waiter walked off without asking if the rest of us were happy or needed anymore drinks, we then had to try and get another waiters attention again to order more drinks. Its such a shame as I would be happy to go again for the food as it was very tasty, was at good prices and the fact the restaurant itself is really lovely. Its a shame some of the staff aren't as pleasant as the food, not even a thanks for coming when we left.

It's hard to believe you're in Croydon. (Not exactly the culinary epicenter of England) Had the Quattro Stagioni pizza (yeah I know pizzas aren't exactly Italian fine food) but it was great - thin crust and plenty of the good stuff - pepperoni, mushrooms, etc. There's a separate desert menu with daily specials. I opted for the profiteroles (obviously), my wife went for the (daily special ) cassata. Both were great. We'll be back for sure.

Zizzi's is a great example of this. After a mega pants couple of weeks on the job and romantic fronts', three of my fierce but fabulous musketeers and I, decided a collective debrief of our woes, followed by some finely chosen motivating words for each other was in order. We caught up over the obligatory lattes, then dived head first into the menu which was serviceable but not anything out of the ordinary. Our waitress appeared somewhat reluctant to take our order. She swished past our table four times, before I got the ball rolling with a neatly timed from the till to the table intervention. The bruschetta or Bruschetta Al Pomodoro to give it its fancy name was lush with just the right balance of tomatoes, garlic and a cheeky dash of red onion.In fact it was moreish enough for me to make a dive for the last piece on our table. My lasagne was ok...nothing crazy just ok. it tasted generic almost like a reheated ready meal. It's my own fault, as it was exactly the same the last time I had it there. As I plunged my fork in for more, I longed for a more authetic, flavoursome, rustic lasagne like the last one I had Babbo's on Albermarle Street. Wow I loved that one so much, that my ex said he thought I might throw a 'I can't believe it's over ' hissy fit when I finished it. Which was just about the same reaction I gave him when we broke up! Dessert as we all know is my absolute favourite part of any meal (bar my latte), I went for a gelato trio - two scoops chocolate, one scoop pistacchio. A pleasant surprise and a definite step up from my encouter at Afters Originals. Silky smooth chocolate and nuts...what more could sweet nut ask for? Zizzi's delivers exactly what you think it will for a reasonable price. My only bug bear about the Croydon branch oh dear the decor ! A cheesy, cheap looking, loft style exposed brickwork job circa 1980s inside and a sludgy terrocotta exterior so ugly it offended my eyes, and compared really unfavourably with the more neutral but customer sympathetic interiors and exteriors of Pizza Express, which is further along on the same road. And how did the catch up go? Well we didn't mend the two broken hearts in our midst or solve the work chaos that's engulfed two of us, but we did leave with hugs and smiles and that can't be bad can it?

The new owner and the staff made the night very special and every time I have been back since I have been recognised as soon as I walk through the door.
