This restaurant is one of my favourite,it is located near Westminster University and it's a great place where students can go for a nice fulfilling meal with a glass of wine between lessons.I used to do this with my classmates for years and always been extreamely happy.Pizas are great and the restaurant is bright and huge with lots of space.Very Italian atmosphere inside.Worthy to visit.

A friend and I came across this place one evening after work and we were both starving so thought that a good hearty italian dish would satisfy our rumbling stomachs. Although Zizzi does pizzas, salads and calzone, we decided to order the pasta. There were many pasta dishes to choose from and most of them were suitable for vegetarians. Although we were spoilt for choice we ended up ordering the same thing - playing it safe by going for the most simple dish and we were more than satisfied! The portions were very generous - a large plate brimming with pasta, and very quick to arrive. The service was very good also. Nice, cosy atmosphere. Would definately go back again.

Zizzi is a small chain of Italian restaurants at the upper end of the scale for such chains. They pride themselves on cooking all their pizzas in a traditional wood-fired oven - so on a recent visit, what did I do but order pasta?!The food was reasonable, I felt, without being exciting; the house wine was good, and good value (just as well, as we had a fair bit!); the service was pleasant, if almost too brisk at times, though one order was wrong when it arrived and had to be replaced; and the atmosphere just right for our party - a group of old and new friends on a Friday night out. I don't think it would be so good for a romantic meal though as the room is quite large and noisy.I ate a fresh tasting seafood salad to start, and followed with penne cooked with wild mushrooms and spinach. The latter also had a pleasant fresh taste, but I'd have welcomed a stronger flavour. I found a little salt improved it a lot (I don't normally add salt to my meals) but only realised halfway through my meal, when my friend pointed it out, that we'd not been offered parmesan, which on reflection would have made all the difference. I don't know if that was an oversight, given that we were a large group and mostly eating pizzas, but another time I would make sure I asked for some.Prices were reasonable - we paid about £30 per head, but that included a lot of wine, and some people had desserts as well.
