Zizzi in Southampton

Less than half capacity when we were seated, but the waiters were more interested in cleaning tables which were not in use and which did not have any customers waiting for, instead of asking for our drinks orders. Waited over 10 minutes to be asked what we'd like.The food came quickly and it was nice.The main was brought to us before we'd even finished our starter. Was not offered cheese or pepper for the pasta, no one checked on us during to see if we would like anything.The restaurant did at this point get busier but still not full, many tables empty still.We asked for our leftovers to be boxed up, so they brought us a box each to do it ourselves. I have never been expected to do this before in a restaurant, I would expect them to do this in the kitchen.The wait for the dessert was fine, not too long.However waiting for the bill was another 10 minutes at least. I kept trying to catch any waiters eye, and they glance at you but as soon as you make eye contact they look away. Was tempted to just walk out as we were being completely ignored.The whole experience took over 1.5 hours, much longer than expected.The food was nice, but the service was lazy and half arsed. Felt uncomfortable at times, like we were an inconvenience for being there. Not a dining experience I'll be coming back to again

Went there to celebrate a birthday dinner with a big group of friends.Service : was okay.Food: Giving 3 stars because of the quality of the food. I had a starter and The Zucca salad with some extra chicken. I also tried the Carbonara. Was absolutely tasteless, couldn't even taste the main garlicky ingredient.Overall: My standards are higher with italian food, I didn't get that "wow" effect. Tasted like a franchised version of an italian food.Good point: toilet is clean! :)

Disappointing in every wayWe have tried Zizzi food in different places like Cambridge, London and Edinburgh. Never really had an issue. Fair quality and prices.This time in Southampton everything was very poor quality.Salad leaves were almost rotten, tomatoes sour and the plates dirty.The actual mains we ordered were basic recipes but so badly cooked.I am so sorry to say we won’t be returning.

Been going here for years even sat outside once we were able to start mixing again after covid. Went last night and was very disappointed with the menu. Not half the variety there was even back in November. Drinks and cocktail menu also limited. Used to do a nice g And t range which is no longer available. The food was OK but not as tasty as before. Also worth noting they no longer accept Tesco vouchers. Won't be going again.

Had 2 separate experiences here the first time was amazing collection food gentlemen was very professional seemed like a manger.But second time was not that quite she was quite polite I kindly asked if I could input the discount code as she was “seeming frustrated and she stated if I don’t that at your work would you like it assuming I had touched the till which just left me with a bad taste in my mouth” food was average nothing to brag about defo won’t be visiting as the staff clearly has no patients

I found the waitress to be quite rude yesterday, as we wanted to use the scan functionality provided on menus as this was easier to claim back (business team building lunch), instead of trying to help us to use it she was incredibly rude and pushy.Although it was lunchtime, alot of the menu was not available including a large chunk of GF.Food was okay, but don't think I'll go to this branch again.

Great food especially beef pizza 😁 we didn’t know that sizes are bigThis was my first time and won’t be the last 👍🏻

I’ve been here on two different occasions, staff had always been friendly, advisable and welcoming. Service was quick, we were seated after a few minutes of entering, despite the capacity of the place. On my previous visit, I’ve tried the Rustica & Fiery Roquito and the Calzone Carne Picante. The Roquito was good, mediocre. The Calzone, however, was simply just better, the combination of tenderised meats and the overwhelming flavour left an impression. On my recent visit, I’ve ordered Rustica Meat Sofia and my friend ordered Rustica Pinoli. The Meat Sofia was underwhelming and lack the flavour, sounds better than it tasted. The Pinoli was definitely better. The goat’s cheese is very tasty and just wow. For dessert, my table shared a Tiramisu Brownie, which I don’t recommend. The texture was a nice combination, but we couldn’t taste the coffee flavour at all, so I wouldn’t be calling this a tiramisu. We also couldn’t taste the coconut and mascarpone as stated. It was bland. Overall, good service, food is okay, but could definitely get your money’s worth elsewhere.

Fantastic evening with my partner. The service was well catered for and efficient. All the members of staff were welcoming and helpful.The food portion sizes were great value for money. And the restaurant was very clean and tidy.

Great place to eat with really helpful staff, and the food is good to..They have a fast app u can use from Yr table to order food and drink if you want.. 😁
