Zizzi - Loughton

Table was late on arrival having to wait standing at the door of restaurant.
Once seated found out seats next to the bar hanging over our head making a uneasy dinning posture.
Holes in the lead windows forcing in smoke from people smoking outside.
Found a lot of windows broken in restaurant right next to dinners and also a hazard to children and adults.
Food was slow to start if with starters where oily being the calamari and thin more of a thin slice of onion than a slice of calamari.
The buscietta was stone cold and burnt on the base then smothered with to much pesto and cheese.
Pizza where ok but the hanging chicken kebab lacked taste and potatoes need seasoning
The new desserts where fine and service was ok

Had a lovely time super friendly staff excellent serine. Amazing children’s menu good food and very cheap. Had chicken skewers delicious. 3 adults and 4 children all happy ??

Gravadlax starter was very nice, but my sea bass was overcooked to the extent that the skin was so hard it was inedible and the fish was dry. The potatoes were ok, but the green beans had only been blanched and were completely raw. I like my vegetables 'al dente' but these were most definitely raw. I think I should have had pasta or pizza like everyone else and it would have been better!
I've eaten there before and even had a couple of large family birthday meals there and never had a problem. Shame.

Lovely waitress! However they did seem a little understaffed at what appeared to be quite a busy time. We waited a while for service but the food was lovely! Good portions. Just don’t enter it you’re in any type of rush!

Disgusting the food was tasteless and others had horrible dry food er

Unfortunately didn't have my favourite dishes and wine (mostly because it's so popular) but our server was so friendly and brilliant

We had a very enjoyable lunch. The seafood kebabs were extremely well presented and very tasty. It was difficult to choose from the range of tempting desserts but we were happy with our choices of chocolate brownie with salted caramel sauce and pistachio and chocolate gelato sundae.
It was a warm day so we chose to sit in the courtyard, which we had entirely to ourselves! Service was friendly and timely.
The car park was a welcome bonus.
We found Zizi's on our Tastecard app and it is not often that we come across a restaurants of this standard that takes Tastecard so we were pleasantly surprised. We will be going back again soon.

The restaurant was noisy, there seemed to be a shortage of staff as there were 2 parties that night. Subsequently we took a long time to be served. Food was very good tho. Value for money great as we had a tastecard.

Food was great, we shared vegetarian starter to start which was really nice, then had pollo spedeini, and a couple of glasses of prosecco. Great atmosphere, restaurant was buzzing, great service. A perfect evening meal.

Went with friends for a relaxed Saturday evening- arrived 8:30, 3 courses by 9:30 - no break between starters and mains, then dessert menus before finishing mains. Food was not great also so clear the staff wanted to leave it was uncomfortable
