The food was good when it came, but we had to remind them of two orders, and the restaurant is huge, with a wooden floor so it's massively echoey, with no ambience. We felt bad having a giggle in case we were interrupting people. If you want Italian in Aviemore, I'd choose La Taverna... although it wouldn't take much to make Giovanni's more appealing.

We found our way to ZIZZI because it was right next to the apartment where we stayed in Inverness…read more And I'm so glad we did, because ZIZZI was great! I don't know how to describe the interior exactly, so I'll just call it rustic chic. A variety of different chairs around simple wood top tables. But each table was ornately set with large clear glasses, a wine bottle with the table number and wheat stocks(?) in it, a small candle, and vivid, brightly colored menus. And let's talk about those menus, shall we? So many tantalizing options. So many things just looked absolutely fantastic, and we were just a one couple, so we had a difficult time choosing between all of the different dishes. We started off with a Garlic Bombe. It was amazing. For drinks, we started with an Amalfi Sundown and a Limoncello Spritz. Those were both very delicious and refreshing. For our main dishes, we shared a Mushroom and Truffle with Burrata pasta (cause I have come to learn that you can never have too much burrata cheese), and a Pepperoni Campagna Pizza. These were unbeLIEVABLY good. We really didn't need any more food after all this, but they went and put a Baked Lemon and Black Currant Cheesecake on their dessert menu, and I'd never heard of that before. So naturally, I had to try it. It was fantastic, of course, and an excellent way to finish off our spectacular meal. The service was very friendly, and I was quite impressed by how fast everything came out. The place was hoppin', so that's just another indication that it's a good spot to grab a bite, when it's full of customers. We absolutely loved our visit to Inverness, and should we be fortunate to go back someday, ZIZZI would definitely be on our list of places to stop in for a meal.

The accompanying photo (if I manage to upload it!) does not do any justice to the excellent food that was presented to me. Maybe if I'd added all of those beautifully HOT and soft/crisp chips to my plate it would have looked better. However, I didn't want them to get in the way of my being able to tackle the HOT and so tasty skewered chicken, Italian sausage, peppers and onions and the delicious light salad with drizzled dressing, and so I devoured them from their side plate. Did I enjoy it? Oh, yes, I really did!

The food here was solid, but honestly, the service was a little goofy. First of all, why is it…read morethat some of these restaurants in the smaller towns have no idea what to do with a solo diner? I have no problem travelling alone or eating alone. Trust me, it's by choice. In some examples, it is excessive deference; in some, the coldest indifference; in some, utter bewilderment. In any case, it drives me crazy to see a server's behavior change going from my table to a family of four across the aisle. Second, I have to tell this story about marinara sauce. Maybe this was a cultural disparity, or maybe this girl was dumber than a box of rocks. You make the call. I ordered a calzone and, when it came out, asked for some marinara sauce. "I don't know what that is. I don't think we have that." "Uh...tomato sauce?" "Oh, sure, okay." And as she's walking away, I think, "Come on, we both speak English here. How can you work in food service and not know what marinara sauce is? And this is a PIZZA HOUSE?" Okay, so maybe they don't call it "marinara" in Scotland. After all, I read that the boom in Americanized Italian cooking in the United States occurred after WWII GIs returned from tours of duty in Italy raving about the food that they had eaten there; so maybe British Italian cooking is different than what evolved in the U.S. So she comes back with a dish full of...ketchup. Wow. Okay, that was funny. We clearly have a cultural barrier here, for which I can't fault her. The thought of ruining a perfectly good calzone with ketchup offends me, but oh well. Third try: "Uh, actually I wanted tomato sauce, like pasta sauce. Like pizza sauce--what you would put on the pizzas?" "I don't think we have that." Now I'm just stunned. My mind is going through all these wild possibilities, such as, Maybe they don't use tomato sauce on their pizzas here...? Nothing but white pizza? So I splutter, "Wh--uh--what? Don't you make your pizzas with tomato sauce? Any of the pizzas? Like those folks over there, that seems to be a regular pizza, with tomato sauce, right?" "Oh, like THAT stuff? You want that in a dish?" And then she looked at me as if I had a weird skin disease but she didn't want to be impolite but she was failing and still making a face. You know that look, right? So anyway, then she brought me the marinara sauce, but what the fuck. So the calzone was good--a vegetable calzone, which included corn! And they made me a delightful little chocolate sundae with cookie pieces at the end, so I was mostly satisfied with the experience other than those two minutes which I will never forget as long as I live.
