Very nice restaurant in the old part of rickmansworth. Service and food was spot on. Lovely warm atmosphere. Typical southern prices which are confusing for a North Yorkshire lad who wonders why you all pay so much down south?? Guessing same price as anywhere else in the town.

A very good meal served in a friendly and professional manner by interested staff. An older building but not excessively noisy, and given a 2-hour slot for our table. Parking at the back in local authority carparks accessible via neighbouring street.

I got he mozarella starters and a pizza beginning with C (meaty). I loved them both! Didn't like the beams, being tall doesn't help. Food on the other's plates tasted just as good. Nice atmosphere. Overall, I think I prefer the one in Bushey bit I would come here again just for the pizza!

I’ve rated this place before and nothings changed, it’s still brilliant. But, there was no Emily serving us previously, there was this time. I don’t know her, am not related to her, she simply served our food. She is brilliant, a real breath of fresh air. She created a pizza for me, was a pleasure to chat with and is both friendly and professional. Go to Zaza”s for the food, but seek out Emily to serve you!

The food was 4* or 5* however the service was 1*. Shared a starter of flatbread and main courses of calzone and pasta. Food quality was good, it was hot and nicely presented. The Maitre de who showed us to our table was good however the waitress was very inattentive and made many errors. Multiple requests for menus, multiple requests to order food, several requests for drinks, incorrect drinks brought etc etc.

We visited on the Monday after the King’s coronation. Despite the certain busy days that must have preceded, we received incredible service and the food was great. Our visit was made so good all thanks to one person: Jan. I’ve worked in the hospitality industry for a decade, and it’s safe to say that he is one of the most professional and proficient front of house member I’ve met in a long time. He had the perfect balance of upselling and keeping us happy: any changes we wanted to make to a dish? He would agree AND recommend a twist. If we said we were full between courses? He would offer a 5 minute break! Not hungry for dessert? He would recommend something delicious that didn’t feel too heavy. Jan is an absolute asset to the team and the company; I only hope that when I go back next he will still be there because he has a bright future ahead, either running his own restaurant or as a consultant working elsewhere in the hospitality industry.

We went to Zaza for dinner one Saturday night for dinner. We sat upstairs and found it incredibly noisy, so much so that I couldn't talk to the person sat opposite me. This wasn't due to the other people there it is just the acoustics of the room, with its hard wood floors and low ceilings. Although the food and service were OK I wouldn't go back at a busy time as I didn't really enjoy the experience.

This was my second time at ZAZA Rickmansworth and am a regular customer of the Bushey venue, and an occasional customer of the Berkhamstead venue. We had booked for 4 and turned up with 5 and were very grateful that the venue managed to accomodate an additional person on the spot. We felt the venue looked a little tired. The service once we had sat down was much less attentive than expected from a ZAZA. We weren’t offered drinks on arrival, we had to ask to order and we had to chase the water and ice we had ordered twice. The food service was more prompt and the food was lovely and great value for money - we had the Tuesday night set menu deal for £28.90 including wine. We weren’t checked on either during the starter or main to ask if our food was ok. If service is automatically added to the bill then the basics should at least be faultless. Not sure I would hurry back to this particular branch of ZAZA.

Visited here for an evening with friends on a Friday evening. The restaurant was busy when we arrived at 7.30 and getting busier. We received a friendly greeting and were shown to our upstairs table. Whilst all our party had yet to arrive we did have to attract the servers attention to order an aperitif. The menu was reasonably extensive with a good choice. I opted for the Calamari followed by the Pollo Picante. I’m afraid that the Calamari, whilst plentiful, was chewy and quite dry as indeed was the chicken and chips. In retrospect, I wish I’d opted for the Sea Bass as a main since I understand from my chums that it was excellent. Whilst we had a superb evening it was due to the company rather than the fare which I found expensive for the quality provided which goes for the wine too. I think that, in the event that I return, which is unlikely, I would choose if possible a table downstairs since it was very noisy upstairs with the acoustics. Overall, an underwhelming meal that I felt was over-priced and low on quality which was a shame.

Drinks menu also has very good selection. Stairs to upper floor are steep and narrow so if you have mobility issues I suggest you ask for a table on ground floor.....but toilets also upstairs which is a nuisance.
