Really nice food - massive portions and staff and very quick to take your order but that's not necessarily a bad thing

Zizzi - The new artwork on the walls

Zizzi

0.2 miRomford

We've been going to Zizzi's in Romford on and off for lots of celebrations over the past few…read moremonths. Our wedding anniversary on New Year's eve, Mother's day in March, my birthday in April and now Father's day - 16th June. We had originally planned to take advantage of the Father's day special 3 course menu for £19.99 each (Zizzi's do these deal quite a lot, if you get on the mailing list you can get notifications and vouchers throughout the year)! We decided not to partake in the three courses as we had to go elsewhere after our meal. We booked ahead for a 1pm reservation, and got there 15 minutes early. We were seated straight away with a smile from the manager. And were seated in a nice quiet spot next to another couple and close to the open kitchens and toilets. We sat and decided what we'd like and a waiter came along very quickly to take our order, within 5 to 10 minutes! So we gave him our order straight away without much of a wait. I ordered a pollo prosciutto insalata and a lemon san pellegrino. Elle ordered a super zucca insalata with chicken skewers and a coke. Our drinks came almost immediately after ordering and we sat and had an interesting conversation while waiting for our food. Compared to a few years ago Zizzi's Romford has changed its decor; previously they had an artist paint his impressions of Romford as murals on their walls, (I see a previous reviewer didn't understand "the graphitti" on the walls, maybe this will help them understand?) specifically Romford is famous for its greyhound racing track (for 90 years - founded in 1929), one of the last left in England. The art on the walls depicts greyhounds in various racing poses. They actually had a few signs saying what the artwork was and who the artist was who created it, but I digress. The new decor, similarly are murals from a local artist of deer and hummingbirds. (see pics) They look very nice, maybe not to everyone's tastes but I like them. Anyhow....Food. We get the food within 15 minutes, and it's delicious! I really enjoyed my food and finished very quickly. I seem to be taking a lot of pictures of empty plates recently....Elle enjoyed her food too. We ended spending £32 or so. We will definitely be going back, we may try a different branch for our next visit.

Starter: Garlic bread with cheese and onion - always a winner…read more.. Main: ...But if you're going to put skinny pizzas on the the menu that include an "Italian naked slaw" maaaaaybe add a little more info... The skinny primavera pizza was really nice - the wholemeal base has come on in leaps and bounds and was actually delicious. The "Italian naked slaw" however turned out to be an old looking pile of greens (mostly rocket), topped with some aged looking fennel and a crap load of beetroot. Fennel and beetroot. Surely that cannot be a thing, Italy?? And in no way can that monstrosity be a 'slaw - naked or dressed to the nines. Doesn't help that I hate beetroot with a passion. Replaced with a normal side salad which was much much better. Dessert: Lemon ice cream concoction and an Irish coffee. Neither were the best I'd ever had and I normally rate Zizzi's Irish coffees (this one had too much cream and wasn't hot enough FYI). We had a tastecard which we were planning on using - until we heard our waiter tell the table next door that tables had to be booked two hours in advance to use them. We never booked. Who books Zizzi's 6:30pm on a Monday night?? We used the tastecard via another waitress. SO HE LIED! All in all, a poor representation of a Zizzi's. And WHAT ON EARTH is that graffiti about outside the restaurant? Will you look at that - I was only going to write a basic review and it turned into a rant...that's what happens if you mess with my 'slaw!!!
