The thin crusted pizzas hit the spot after a full morning of exploring Windsor castle. The hot chocolate at the end of the meal was fantastic! Service is amazing with all the staff super friendly even to 2 loud kids of mine read more

We went at 615 pm on a Thursday. One party there, yet we stood there waiting for attention about 5 minutes while 4 women that worked there were talking. Perhaps it was work related but they just IGNORED us. We were seated right next to the door (boo) and then sat there for another 5 minutes before a man finally visited. We ordered a pizza & drinks. Drinks were fine (bottled) as I saw no bar so I am not sure what mixed drinks would be. Pizza was elongated, very pale crust & very thin. Sauce was light but good. We got triple pepperoni - but if that's 3x the pepperoni - a single must get 2 slices. (See pic) that said, good flavor and just what we wanted - - lite meal. No salad options appealed to us. Desserts look good but only in pics on a professional 'chain' menu. I am not mad about going here. But it could be do much better with service & anything to Mayer not feel like a chain either pre-made drinks & desserts. read more

Zizzi's a nice enough space close to Windsor Castle parking...and open when the castle closed at 4:15 (winter hours). On our arrival they made a production of whether they could seat us at one of their empty tables, and whether they would seat us at a window seat. Other than that the service was very efficient and friendly...given the patrons were primarily tourists eating after visiting the castle I give them a lot of credit for that. On to the food...it certainly eliminated hunger pangs but the food is mediocre. I ordered the "Classic Margarita" pizza. I don't know how you can make a pizza so tasteless, it will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. Maybe the oven was not hot enough, the crust was an unappealing shade of off-white. Maybe the chef forgot the fresh basil, they ran out, or maybe they just sprinkle dry basil on the sauce. I don't know how cheese can be made tasteless. Upon our return I felt the need to book a trip to New York to undo the damage. The spaghetti was ok, slightly overcooked but edible. Another positive is the menu clearly identifies vegan, vegetarian, gluten free menu items, always appreciated. Given our time constraints, hunger, the convenient location yeah we probably would eat there again...it was mediocre, not bad. read more

My coworkers & I were here on a business trip in August & had stayed in Windsor. There were a VARIETY of places to eat at & Zizzi was one that we all eyed on. Every time we passed by this hot spot there was always a long wait. So finally on our 3rd try we were convinced by the cute server to stay & wait for a table that was almost done ONLY cuz they don't do take away on salads! This was on a Thursday night after 7pm & we got seated after waiting about 15 min. Any longer I would've opted for Mickey D's next door! I had the following -- **Bruschetta Al Pomodoro: Toasted garlic ciabatta heaped w/ fresh tomato, basil & red onion w/ a drizzle of olive oil. This was a simple & tasty appetizer. **Insalata Cacciatore: Juicy confit duck & crispy pancetta crown a salad of mixed leaves, lentils & spring onion w/ Grana Padano cheese & balsamic vinegar. Ohhhh myyy, absolute DELISH! One of the best salads I've had yet during my stay here! Great ambiance, clean spot & friendly servers. Only thing that bothered us is that everything was slow. Maybe it's within the European culture that they take their time in everything they do & enjoy it as it is, unlike us "fast-paced" Americans?! =P Anyhooo, we were looking for a quick dinner but it ended up to be 2 hours long. Regardless, it was a pretty good dinner & with great company! read more

I went here for the first time about a month ago. LOCATION: This location is in a busy area because Windsor Castle is right nearby, but it's not too crazy. 3/5 ATMOSPHERE: The ambiance is okay. If I had a suggestion, it'd be switching out the chairs because the basic wood look just looks too basic and boring, and I think by doing a simple switch of just those would make the restaurant seem much more cozy and inviting, instead of giving off harder vibes lol. 3/5 SELECTION: It's an Italian chain restaurant, so they have pizzas, pasta, etc. They also have a separate vegan menu, which is nice, except that you have to ask for it. I think it'd be nicer if they just included it in the regular menu. 3/5 WHAT I GOT: I got the Vegan Lentil Ragu. You have the option of getting it with wholewheat penne pasta or non-gluten containing fusilli pasta. I ordered it with the fusilli because while I'm not allergic to gluten or have celiac disease, I typically eat gluten-free because gluten tends to be hard on my digestive system. So anyways, when I ordered it, I said, "can I get the Vegan Lentil Ragu with the fusilli?" and the waitress said, "with what?" and I repeated "with the fusilli pasta," making sure to point to it on the menu too. So it seemed like she got it down. But, when it came out, it was the wholewheat penne pasta. Usually, I'd speak up and say that's not what I ordered, but we had already waited nearly an hour for our food, even though it lowkey wasn't even that busy (but more on that below). So, I didn't feel like waiting any longer and had to deal with having gluten in my system. It was disappointing. At least it tasted okay. The pasta was cooked thoroughly, the sauce was fine (although I wish there was a little more), and the lentil mix was alright too. It wasn't amazing, but at least it wasn't overly oily, salty, undercooked, or spoiled -- just trying to think positive lol. But yeah, I was still disappointed that the waitress got my order wrong, but I was too starving and upset from waiting too long to ask for my actual order. 3/5 SERVICE: So yeah, the service was super slow (like I said, it took nearly an hour for food for four people to come out), despite them not being terribly busy or anything. And, the waitress clearly didn't know how to put my order in correctly or something, even after my clarification. Overall, my experience here was way worst than I expected. 2/5 read more

Zizzi - Vegan Lentil Ragu (£8.95) w/wholewheat penne pasta --I ordered the fusilli though: rich Italian lentil ragu with linguine & fresh oregano - Italian Near Me - Windsor, WNM

I didn't rate it. I know it is somewhat naive to expect wonders at a chain restaurant, but even with that in mind this was definitely a sub par experience. I kicked off with some cheesy garlic bread. You can't go wrong with garlic bread right? Turns out you can at Zizzi's Windsor. Bread? Check. Cheese? Check. Garlic? Hey, you didn't really want garlic did you? Oh you did?! C'mon, give us a break here. Have some red onion instead, you won't even notice the difference. Onion breath, garlic breath, it's all the same yeah? Moving swiftly on, next up was pizza. I have nothing meaningful to say about this course. It was adequate and unremarkable, satisfactory yet instantly forgettable. It was the Vauxhall Astra of pizzas. Next up was dessert. No-one wanted dessert. However, we were there for a birthday meal. Upon entry I had done the obligatory surreptitious handover of birthday cake and candles to our waiting staff, safe in the assumption they would understand their role in the supposedly often played out scene of dining out theatre for which this prop was a necessity. Sadly I was mistaken... My clandestine attempts to indicate we were ready for the cake went unnoticed or unheeded and eventually I was left with no option but to outright ask for them to bring the cake. The waitress looked at me with a shocked expression and exclaimed "But now it isn't a surprise!" before disappearing to get it. If only she had been able to foster this profound sense of perception several minutes earlier we could at least have all engaged in the charade that it was a surprise. There are a plethora of other places to eat in Windsor, go try a different one. read more

You know how sometimes you except and await something for so long that when you finally get it, you're left a bit ... unsatisfied? Well...the anticipation of eating at Zizzi's was quite the opposite. After a business trip brought me back to Windsor, Zizzi's was at the top of the list of what I look forward to most (the 3-hour European dinner spectacle). Granted we were in and out pretty quickly by Euro standards....servers actually seat you and check up on you! We had to try as many things on the menu as possible so of course we started with the Cichetti: risotto balls (pretty good), mushroom bruschetta (amazing!), and Ravioli Croccanti (ok). Spaghetti Chitarra alla Pescatora- yummy seafood and hearty marinara Zucca e Pancetta - lots of flavor, rich dish Penne della Casa - also rich and homey flavor. The Chianti - perfect complement to the meal. The Dessert - but of course! (Torta Cioccolata...chocolate was a bit too hard but hazelnut mousse was so fluffy and vanilla mascarpone mm mmmm mmmmm) So sad when it's all over ... until the next trip! read more

Good food in a cozy ambience. I had the mushroom bruschetta and the red pesto strozzapretti which were both delish. Also had a Passion Fruity which I loved. My server was very kind and friendly too! read more

For a chain restaurant this was very good (like much better than Olive Garden could ever be). Excellent options, plenty of veggies, great pizzas and pasta, wonder fresh mozzarella, and nice service. Food allergy friendly. Am am generally not fond of chains but this is a winner. read more
