Espousing the philosophy of great pizza at affordable rates, Pizza Express is a real gem of an…read moreestablishment. Not long ago, before the Euro, a person could take a trip to Naples and buy a pizza for 1500 lire (equivalent to 50p). Those days are long gone now, but places like Pizza Express do an admirable job of providing masses of consumers with finely topped pizzas, respectfully and unpretentiously year in year out (Pizza Express have also diversified their portfolio and now offer pizzas on supermarket shelves for people inclined to living room dining instead). This particular branch provided outside seating and on a sunny, though slightly windy, day overlooking Portsmouth harbour, the pizza tasted that little bit better. Washed down with a bottle of sparkling mineral water, Italian-style. Reminded me of those trips to Naples all those years ago Modern decor, friendly service and traditional recipes updated to include a more contemporary appeal with new styles accompany older versions of the pizza. A place where everyone can indulge in their own preference.

I had the Profuma Di Mare on short pasta rather than on spaghetti; may not sound like a big deal but i only use one hand. Some restaurants make you feel like you're being deliberately awkward but nothing was too much trouble here. Wheelchairs are no problem either. The dish was full of mussels, baby octopus and prawns; delicious and freshly cooked. You can see into the kitchen so there isn't the bring in boil in the bag cooking going on either. The other dish was Rigatoni Buongustia which the other diners were also impressed with. If you haven't been here you really should!

When the main meals came out, my friend had ordered a chicken and pasta dish, and the chicken came out cold to the touch (had clearly not been defrosted properly). When we eventually managed to flag someone down, we were not offered any drinks or anything for the cold chicken, and the food came out having clearly been stuffed in the microwave. Overall this was very poor and I will think twice about coming back to Zizzi anytime soon

I wouldn't be writing a bad review if we did something wrong but we genuinely did not! Firstly my friend asked a question about the menu and she was treated as if she were dumb.

Don't recommend

Thankfully we had booked, and had already sensed it was going to be busy by the way the matre D on the phone was negotiating with us one timings due to chef being overloaded. Arrived at the restaurant which is located on the upper deck of Port Solent and already found the restaurant packed at 8:30pm. But give them credit there was a table ready and waiting, jump queue and sit down!! So you might know Prezzo is a chain of restaurants it positions itself in my mind as a classy Pizza Express. The restaurant is clean, modern and certainly has life in it, but not in the traditional Italian sense. The kitchen is on full display and the hussle and bustle of the chefs cooking and waitresses delivering food adds to the ambiance. Shame there is no stone oven to cook the pizzas, rather some stainless steel equivalent. Then menu has a reasonable selection of starters, main's, pizzas etc. Wine list is small and simple with nothing that is really stunning. Its cheap plonk marked up in my view. Bottle of Lanson Champagne was approx £30. Chardonnay was approx £15-£18. So I went for the calamari for starters and lasagne for main. So the calamari was not great, very scrappy pieces deep fried. The lasagne again was nothing to write home about. Wife had a chicken, cream pasta dish which she loved.

The food selection was great and the pastas were tasty. The salmon penne, lobster ravioli and…read moremushroom risotto were great. The combo pasta order was not worth it. What really ruined the experience was the service from our "polish" lady server who managed to make everyone uncomfortable. She was not able to understand everyone's order, and had difficulty getting the drink order. She does not know how to serve the plates without reaching in front of your face. The place was nicely decorated and the food was tasty but with such a negative experience from 6 people, we collectively agreed we will not be back.
