Cafe Class - Ham and salami and cheese for two

This is one of my coworker's favourite place to eat in woking and a number of us came after work…read morefor dinner. The restaurant looks like a deli and has a number of dishes in the display case, if you didn't know, you would have never guessed that they have a full kitchen and do special things for dinner. They provide a service where they will continue to provide you with different types of dishes until you are full. Most of the dishes were tomato-based, with a lot of vegetables, cheese, and potatoes. Not a lot of meat dishes. All the dishes are very hearty with chunks of ingredients drenched in sauce. Not refined food, but very homely and tasty. The wine selections are good and service is wonderful.

Yes! This place is as good as it gets. We were drawn in by Trip Advisor reviews. Upstairs it looks…read morelike a deli with glass fronted displays of savoury and dessert items and some tables to sit and eat; downstairs there are tables and a bar - although the bar was not manned while we were there. The café has attractive, interesting and imaginative modern décor both upstairs and downstairs. There is bottled lager and a wide variety of wine. I enjoyed both. It's a fairly new place and the deal is amazing value: £12.50 for as much antipasti as you can eat. Super proprietor Dominic said, just say stop when you've had enough! The plates of antipasto just kept on coming until we could eat no more. There were 6 of us. I thought every plate was delicious. After calling stop, Dominic insisted we try another couple of dishes. The hot and cold antipasti did not major on meats, there was a wide variety including tuna salad, pasta dishes, grilled thinly sliced squash, funghi, a stuffed seafood dish, Italian sausage dishes, aubergines and more. I stopped counting at 14 different dishes and there were plenty more. I was compelled to make room for some dessert samples - again delicious. All the staff were great; what a pleasure it was to eat there. I always think an Italian restaurant would be the first place to try in a strange town if you wanted a happy dining experience; although not a strange town, it was a very happy dining experience. It was different to the standard "eat until your eyes pop out of your head'. My daughter's eyes lit up when she spied someone with a dish of gnocchi; Dominic gave her a serving to take home. All in all, Café Class was a great find, and I am keen to go back. If anyone wants to take me, I'm theirs.

Zizzi - Zizzi restaurant in Woking

Zizzi, you've won me back. After a slightly less than satisfactory experience in the Winchester…read morebranch, I was in two minds about trying this one. I needn't have worried though. It's a little off the beaten track, outside of the giant shopping arena that is Woking town centre, but it's only a 10 minute walk from the station. From the moment we walked in without a reservation, the manager and staff made us feel welcome. I liked the decor in this one, nice and airy despite an overall dark woody appearance. I fancied sharing a Fritto Misto to start, but neither of my two companions were interested. However the manager offered to do a half portion for me so I could indulge myself. One of my companions ordered the tomato and pesto bread, which I have to say was a spectacular colour mix on the board that it arrived on. I followed this up with another favourite, the Risotto di Pesce with a side order of garlic bread. Having mentioned that I didn't want cheese on any of this, the manager intuited that I might have dairy problems and asked me if I was OK with the butter used in the risotto - that was a star added to the review right there! We were joined later by another friend, and the staff didn't bat an eyelid at this late addition to the group (we were well into our main course by then). She ordered the chicken salad, which arrived promptly so she could eat before the rest of us had finished our meals. Great food as always, super friendly staff, cool ambience in the restaurant. The toilets were clean, and I was particularly impressed by the rectangular sinks and the designer combination tap - very stylish and I haven't seen those before anywhere else, so thumbs-up for the design choices. In fact, I'm giving two thumbs up and a full five stars for this Zizzi. Excellence on all fronts.

Zizzi restaurants are a classic choice in the UK. They're slightly pricier than your usual pizza…read moreplace but I can assure you that it's worth it. The quality of their pizzas is great, especially their "Rusticas". If you are concerned with price they usually have discounts available on websites like toptable, etc. My sister in law ordered a risotto that looked very nice but I didn't taste it so I can't really comment. All in all is a good reliable Italian restaurant. The calzone carne piccante was good but not great. Next time I will try the calzone pollo spinaci. The calzone dough reminds me of american pizza. It's yummy too but it reminds me of pizza hut. however rusticas are the real Italian deal :)

Where do I start? In all my years of living, of all the trips I've taken with my ultra-wealthy…read morefriends I can only name a few memories I've had with them but my experience at the Pizza Express in Woking 10+ years ago...unforgettable, it was March the 10th at around 5:16 PM to be exact with the wind around 7 mph to the south east and as I remember it we went in a black Bentley. I say mph and not km because I got used to the imperial system after visiting with my friend Jeff in Palm Beach several times but had to stop visiting him because of my tendency to be too honorable. The customer service was exceptional, the employee repeated my order back to me and said, "Mate, you look awful hungry. Let me upgrade that medium cheese to a large for ya ole chap. No sweat!" It was a very unusual thing for me to do to be in Woking at this time. My friends ask me, "Hey, remember that golf trip?" "Hey, remember that time on the Yacht?" "Ole' chap, remember that time we partied at Windsor?" and I just can't remember those times but the one hour and 52 minutes I spent at Pizza Express 20 years ago I'll never forget. You can have the worst memory and won't forget your experience at Pizza Express in Woking even 20 years later. Only complaint is that the AC isn't the best but I never did have a sweating problem, I got shot at in the Falklands which led to a peculiar medical condition due to my overdose of adrenaline which has made it now to where I can't sweat. Go to Pizza Express in Woking, you'll never forget it. I had an absolutely royal experience.

Pizza Express is a fairly good chain, and Woking's branch is no exception…read more The service is good quality and the staff are polite and efficient, catering to requests or alterations to your order successfully. The tables are quite close together and on occasion the place can get quite busy, but it is a nice place to go that's reasonably priced with friends or family.

On one of the great snow days of woking, I could not be bothered to cook, so we popped out for…read moredinner. Zucchini (the new italian) was completely empty, so we thought we'd mosy on down to Enzo's, which came heartily recommended by a colleague. I'll cut to the chase. The appetizer was vile, and the main (pasta for both of us) was semi-synthetic, and good insofar as it wasn't as bad as the appetizer. The basket of bread they bought us is the worst bread I've had in ... well, the world actually. Even Florence's unsalted horrors were better than this paper-flavoured dusty thing. I'd rather have had cheap sliced bread, toasted, than what they served us as fresh bakery bread. I had a small piece to check if what my fingers told me was accurate (it was) and didn't touch the rest. As an appetizer we had the fritto misto. The only thing that was borderline edible (and even then, I'll bet it came straight from Iceland freezers) were the calamari. They weren't good, but tasted nowhere near as bad as the shrimp and (oh. my. god.) whitebait. I had 3 of those little fishies, and stopped. If 3 random ones are awful, then it's not going to get any better. For the record. I'm greek, and we love seafood, and I gobble down whitebait like no tomorrow in the summers back home. This truly was awful. The meatballs in the Penne siciliane were store-bought and tasted almost like the swedish meatballs IKEA serves. Not what you'd expect in a small town's small restaurant-pub-bar. I had fettuccine.... I can't remember what. With broccoli, feta, tomatoes and cream sauce. They were actually very good, if slightly overcooked. Sadly, they weren't 100% fresh, as the plate had obviously spent some time in an oven being kept warm. Some were very dried up around the edges. Also, some broccoli pieces had an odd flavour. But that might've been my brain playing tricks on me. I did rather like the pasta. Just would never want to have them make it for me again. I'll make it myself at home, thanks, and I'll bet it'll be a hundred times better! Service was lovely. Thankfully, I'd been warned. My colleague said that Enzo sold his business recently and an older vietnamese couple have taken it over. The ambiance and service were correspondingly subdued. We only went because he also said they'd kept the chef. I would not go again to test out my theory, but perhaps the chef, being italian, stayed home due to the snow that day? Maybe someone else will try it out and let us all know. Overall, for £13 each (with tip) it's jiust not worth the trouble. It was £6.80 for most pasta dishes. Keep walking, head to the embers inn pub down the road, where you can feast like a king on traditional british fare for half the money.

Yes, Enzo's has been taken over, and although Tu & Lee can hardly be described as 'older' it does…read morehave a more subdued atmosphere during the week although weekends are far more lively. I can only say I have always been very disappointed by the food served in the past at Enzo's. In my opinion there is far better Italian food available in Woking at far better prices and this has not changed. Overcooked fish, tinned tasting sauces etc are just some of the delights served and as the chef is the same this hasn't changed either. However the Vietnamese specials, which Lee prepared to her Grandmother's recipes are fantastic. Light, fresh and very traditional and a great change as this type of food is not readily available in Woking, more is the pity. I wont say there aren't some teething problems while the new owners settle in, but all in all give it a go - you might be surprised.
