    Main menu best seller!

    Place was amazing with friendly staff. Food was on point and drinks were great! Our waitress was Josephine! Highly recommend!

    We LOVE this place! It's a staple for us every time we come to London. They have such a large menu so it's easy to come for multiple visits. I love that they have a gluten free menu and their gluten free menu items are very good. The service is a little slow, probably because they are always so busy. But the food is wonderful. I love the chicken spiedini, but we've tried many dishes. My mom really enjoyed her chicken pasta. The gluten free pizza is also delicious!

    Delicious food! Had the goat cheese & carmelized onion arancini balls - super delish!! Lots of vegetarian & vegan options also.

    The advertisement for chilli-infused dough caught our eye. We opted for the Skinny Pizza Primavera with the chilli infusion. I'm very sensitive to while my husband loves spicy foods. There was a good amount of spice for me. The skinny pizza comes as a half pizza and side salad. We ended the meal with the summer special cheesecake dessert so I can tame the spiciness. The service was good. It got a little slower as they got busier, but overall good.

    My husband and I dined here around 10pm on Friday night. We had spent the day on a long bus tour to Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath where they fed us "lunch" at 3:30. So when we got back to Earl's Court I was hungry and Zizzi had some pretty good reviews, was right by the tube, and was still open. We walked in and were promptly seated, however, it took forever for anyone to come over and greet us. We actually saw one server make a gesture to another like, what are you doing? You need to go talk to this table. So after about 10 minutes or more we were finally greeted. My husband ordered a glass of wine. I ordered a still lemonade. We went ahead and ordered food since it had taken so long for anyone to come talk to us. We ordered the cheese fondue to start and then a lasagna to split. Our drinks were brought out promptly. The fondue took a while, but the cheese itself was delicious. I could've eaten up with a spoon. The bread on the other hand was hard and stale, so that was unfortunate. The time lapse between our appetizer and entree was extremely long. We had 3 different people come by to tell us it was in the oven or would be out shortly. Again, we arrived around 10. Our lasagna arrived around 11. That's crazy. Did they forget to put it in? Worse yet the lasagna was pretty unimpressive. We both agreed that we much preferred the lasagna we had before the theater at Wildflower earlier in the week. The bechamel on this lasagna was great, but there was a serious lack of noodles in this dish and these huge square chunks of something in the sauce that did not sit well with me at all. It also desperately needed both salt and pepper. So, although the cheese fondue was very good, the bread, the lasagna, and service were all quite unimpressive.

    We really enjoyed our dinner here. The ambiance is not too fancy. The food was delish. We had a shrimp appetizer. Pasta and salmon dinner. And for dessert... frozen sorbet with chocolate syrup. I could have just had the chocolate syrup. It was so yummy! We stayed at the KtK hotel George around the corner. So it was great to walk here. It's located near Earls Court tube station. Very convenient.

    Amazing staff Annalisa and Cherif were so attentive and knowledgeable on the menu, their recommendations were outstanding, food was amazing we started with the house garlic bread with cheese and balsamic caramelize onions-we had a new pizza specialty with pull pork, and the house specialty pasta with a spicy chicken pasta was on point. The desserts we're great we had the house specialty and a new item a chocolate calzone it took about 32 minutes of a wait for it, but completely worth it. That's my only reason not to give them a 5 star. For last meal in London this was perfecto!

    I don't usually review chain-restaurants, but I figured this one's ok since it's part of my UK adventure. This place was really busy on the Saturday night that we went. To their credit, we were seated sooner than the twenty minute estimate I was given. Our food was quite delicious, and looking around at nearby tables, everything looked super-tasty as well. A fair selection of wines made the meal even better, and the ambiance was quite well done-up. The only thing that I found disappointing was the "garlic bread," which was just slightly greasy naan.

    I had my first meal here when I first arrived to London, and it was absolutely amazing!!! I always tell myself that when in doubt, go for ITALIAN!! Italian never goes wrong! I wasn't sure where to eat upon arrival, so I just strolled down the street to explore and see what's poppin'. I noticed that Zizzi was packed with people and everyone looked very happy, lively, and excited in the restaurant! Very good vibe! I walked in, and I was immediately greeted and seated! It's the BEST feeling to travel to a foreign city by yourself and be treated well! By then, I was starving! When you're hungry, you think you have the stomach for an elephant, but in reality, you can't eat much more than usual. I looked around to see what others ordered and the lady next to me got this seafood skewer with potatoes! The dish was nicely presented and colorfully garnished, so I asked for the name of the order and ordered the same dish. Unfortunately, they didn't have anymore seafood, so I got chicken instead. Whoa!! THAT CHICKEN WAS DELICIOUS and TOTALLY UNEXPECTED! (Well, I'm from the USA, and we usually eat frozen chicken, which is tasteless.) Along with my dish, I had a sweet and fruity strawberry cocktail! Everything went perfectly well. The service, ambiance, food! Loved it! FYI, Zizzi is a very popular chain in London, and sometimes I feel that franchises and chain restaurants are average....but this is ABOVE AVERAGE!!!

    We are vegetarians from the US, and ordered a salad with baked squash and beans which was excellent and filling, and so as the mushroom risotto.

    What a lovely spot to stumble upon! I went looking for gluten free pasta and found it here easily…read more I was seated right away and was able to connect to their WiFi, which worked great. They had a lunch special when I went and it was very well priced. I got the caprese as my salad and the pistachio pasta as my main, with gluten free pasta. The gluten free was amazing! Really good texture and the pistachio cream was just perfect. They gave me a lot of Parmesan, which made the dish just perfect. They have gluten free pizza too which I hope to try someday. The service was very kind and I enjoyed the ambiance and aesthetic of the restaurant. Everything was simple but flavorful. Even the olive oil on the caprese was super rich and amazing.

    Lunch menu is a great deal but unfortunately I didn't think the food was very good. For £14…read moreincluding service you get two courses. The menu has three options for apps and I think seven for mains (3 pizzas and the rest are pastas). I opted for the caprese and the lasagna al Forno. The caprese was nice enough although non traditional with olives and sun dried tomatoes included. I thought the olive oil and balsamic could have been better quality and the mozzarella was weirdly cold, almost like it had been frozen and thawed. The lasagna was lacking in flavor although the pasta was cooked well. It was a good sized portion as well. Service was quick but not rushed. The place is bigger than it looks from the outside. Washrooms were okay although located downstairs in kinda a dodgy setting.

When we called they said they would hold from closing if we were on our way. We all hopped in a uber quickly and they had a table ready for us when we arrived. Service was sweet and they helped us navigate the menu in search for vegetarian options. They never made is feel rushed. The food came quickly and everyone enjoyed it. I had cappellacci with spinach and mushrooms in a butter sauce. It was fantastic I tell you! The cappellacci was light and tender in a rich buttery sauce. I also tasted ravioli in a tomato cream sauce and it was great. I had some brandy in a sniffer that they warmed up for me. It was some of the best brandy I have had in a while. I loved my experience here at this family restaurant. It will always hold a special place in my heart and mind when it comes to London.

On a cool night sit outdoors but we sat inside today in a candlelit spot. You can tell it's a restaurant for regulars as we saw them asking for their usual spot. La Palombe a few doors down is also owned by this same owner but we haven't tried. Delicious Al dente pastas!
