    I order takeout every few months from this restaurant. I've tried the Lasagne which is delicious…read moreand filling and flavoursome, and the Ravioli al Granchio. I would heartily recommend.

    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.

    I'm happy I get to add this place to Yelp because I had such a great experience here last night. I…read morejust moved to London this week and my husband told me this area of Croydon was loaded with restaurants. So I took myself to dinner here and was greeted by a darling elderly gentleman who I presume was the owner. He, and much of the staff, have fairly thick Italian accents so right away, I knew I was in good hands. The staff work collaboratively here so while you may order with one person, another refills your wine glass and and another checks on you to make sure you're happy. Service is amazing here. And everyone is genuinely warm and welcoming. I started off with a 150ml glass of Sangiovese. House wine is ridiculously cheap here - very much like it is in Italy. Nowhere in London have ever been able to get a glass of wine for under £5. For my starter, I had the spinach and ricotta stuffed mushrooms which came on a toasted wedge of sourdough bread. Soo good! I also had the lasagna which I couldn't even finish. It was cheesy and gooey and delicious. 5 stars for service 5 stars for prices 3.5 stars for food It was all delicious except for a teensy bit of cheese overload. I could tell that the food was amazing beneath all these cheese anyhow, so they really don't need it! Grazie, Tre Fratelli, for being my dates on a Friday night.

    Very nice English Italian style food chain. We ate in Stratford-on-Avon. Excellent pizza and…read morecalzones of great variety. A little noisy; a little upscale but not too expensive. Good Chianti. Okay service. A reasonable place to eat but certainly NOT typical good modern English cooking.

    I've always thought that simplest food franchaise concepts, are the ones you can replicate over and…read moreover and still manage to keep current and financially viable for the business and its customers. 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?
