I know Zizzi is a chain, and I don't usually bother reviewing those, but I was incredibly impressed with the service here!
We brought a group of people over, including my 8 month old sister, and my 4 year old brother who was exhausted from a looong day of sightseeing, afternoon tea, and theatre (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). Shortly after sitting down, he began getting restless and at some point started screaming. Embarrassing, all the more so since my father apparently is not as strict anymore as he used to be with us, so he just allowed the tantrum. My husband and I don't have children, so I had no idea what to do to stop him...
The staff at Zizzi, however, was so kind and patient! They immediately brought out a kids' placemat for him to color and do other stuff with, they got him a bowl of carrots, celery, and breadsticks to keep him busy, and they made sure his kids' pizza came out immediately. And when he was really throwing a tantrum, they offered to make a balloon for him and show him the fire in the kitchen! I was very impressed and thankful for their efforts. They were so friendly! My little brother calmed down soon after, and fell asleep on their comfy benches.
As for the food, we've enjoyed every meal we've had at this Zizzi. Good quality, authentic Italian food and generous portions. Try the cheese fondue, yum! Nice antipasto platters too.
Thanks, Zizzi! Glad we picked your place for our family dinner. read more
