    Nice venue with high ceilings and view of Royal Opera house, although downstairs looks a little cramped, so I would ask for upstairs table. Pizza was tasty (spicy as requested) and my partner's fish was cooked properly. Having ordered pudding, I had to ask when it was coming - I think the staff realised they had forgotten to put the order thru : it arrived very quickly afterwards and the waitress apologised for the delay explaining that we would not be charged for the pudding. Basically, the problem was dealt with efficiently, so we increased our tip to show our gratitude.

    Was disappointed with the lobster but the eggs were amazing. Service was good but didn’t appreciate being rushed out ready for the next table.

    I love Zizzi and visit Birmingham stores regularly. I was here during half term and I felt that the restaurant was cramped with very little space. The tables were very close together. I was upset that this branch had no arancini which is my favourite dish. My other courses were fine but overall I am a little disappointed that this store wasn't up to par with others I have visited. Staff were friendly.

    Firstly we arrived and there was no record of our booking (thankfully I had email confirmation) so they fit us in. The tables are really close together, you can't get up without knocking into another table. The staff were friendly but waited over half an hour for our main course. It was extremely busy. Pizza was lovely but the risotto was very bland.

    We booked this via OpenTable and the website stated the table will be held for 15 mins after the booking time and then it will be released. We booked 5.45pm for a pre-theatre show, we arrived at 5.55 (10 mins late) and the manager rudely announced that he had released the table to someone else "because you did not call and we are very busy!". I explained we were travelling on the underground and was unable to call plus we the website states it will be kept for 15 mins after the booking time, which we were within. He said the website says "10mins", it does not, and said did we "want to wait for another table or not?" Very rude and unnecessary. The guy with him at the reception was embarrassed by his managers actions and looked down. I stated firmly that we were within the 15 mins, the website states 15 mins and it was very poor that they had let our table go. Suddenly, he found us a table for 4 as booked - so poor. After that the service was good, food was fine and we finished on time and made the show. The manager needs to be coached better in customer service techniques! Crazy, unnecessary situation - let the other guys run the restaurant and move him on!

    This Zizzi is in a good position, very near to the Opera House in Covent Garden - but would be good for many other theatres in that area of London, so convenient for pre/post theatre dining.

    Nice Zizzi very near to The Opera House and Covent Garden in general. Always better to book as they tend to get very busy,
