I had a really good visit to Zizzi in reading with my five-year-old. The food was great, as was the service; special credit to our waitress, Darcey, who was friendly, attentive, helpful, and just all round great at customer service.

We had mac n cheese and carbonara. The pasta was overcooked or worse, just microwaved as it was rubbery and sticky. Bot dishes lacked any flavour. Zizzis food has gone downhill, we used to loving coming here.

Food was really nice as were the drinks. The waitress was pleasant. Issues around it advertising sign up and get free garlic bread, to find that is not available for almost a month. Was advised the 30% was before 5pm but upon checking found it was all day, so did get the discount in the end, but shouldn’t be this difficult. Overall it was nice but not spectacular.

Very average. Some of us had the Pasta Superiore and this was a mistake. Poorly cooked pasta, over cooked salmon and cloying sauces. Veggie lasagne looked radioactive with no texture whatsoever. Only bright spots were the deserts.

Zizzi used to be one of my favourite place to go n eat. Nice restaurant, good food and nice view by the river. However, last night experience was putting us off ,can't believe we have been asked for a tip as well after all. We ask for a table for 2, restaurant almost empty, they giving us a table next to 2 other loud people ,and the table was right next to each other (from all this big area ) we ask if we can move towards the door and the guy tells us it is very cold there because of the draft coming through the doors. Instead of giving us a table for 4 people which was on the heater area and I repet the restaurant was almost empty (3-4 people inside )to look after the customers, they sending us there . Obviously had to eat with my coat on, and it was so cold. I was hungry and i couldn't be bothered to go find another place . I was eating in this cold .While I decide what to eat we are being told we should've have 50% off of the mains but the sistem "doesn't work" from the office so they can't give us this . I was like it isn't the customer fault is it ? Change us less then. We can't he said , that's why we are letting you know now so you decide if you want to proceed. Like if u don't like it basically you can go. Shocking 😵 .Excuse me but if you have an offer, the customer comes expecting that and you don't help in any way all you tell them is: u better pay the full price or go we don't care, nothing we can do. We ordered the food which was quick to arrive like I said 3 people in the restaurant wasn't that difficult, anyways food was excellent. While I talk to my partner and I'm eating we have been bothered so many times asling us how is everything. If I need smth , I'll ask you don't need to disturb me all the time .No offence but all I need and want is peace. Leave me alone to eat my food. They brought us some complementary pastas 3-5 pastas in a bowl. I remember the time you used to offer half of the paper bag with this.And pizzas used to be normal price, not 20£/ pizza like now and you still offered us more. Now, you can't afford anymore seems like . My partner needs to wash his hands before we go and he comes back freezing from upstairs saying he regrets he went there . It was freezing 🥶, the water to wash his hands the same and he was so cold after eating in the cold anyway . Zizzi, I've been eating in this place for years , never had such a bad experience, and on top of it when I was to pay the full amount obviously because it is my fault your system doesn't work is it? , they asking me to tip them. For what? What do you mean tip ? Said no obviously, the girl was in shock like she couldn't believe it. First of all why are you forcing this into people and secondly apart from the food, this place didn't make me feel good or warm or anything. Matter of fact as soon as I eaten we wanted to get out . I'm disappointed because I used to like the place. I won't be coming back.

I am a coeliac, and when I walked in and said this to an employee he left me with a joke and no information. I was without help and in the dark when looking for food until a lovely woman came and helped but as an individual new to being coeliac I was quite anxious and it wasn't a good way to start my dining experience. After ordering food however my experience was amazing the food was very nice and was clearly labelled with not containing gluten. Furthermore, we asked for water 5 times and the employees were quite rude when we asked. In general, me and my party were pleased with our dining experience but we felt disrespected and made us think they had no care for us as customers. Our server ,who was a lovely woman, I have no complaints with she was amazing with explaining how gluten free food works and was a very good waiter to us. I would recommend Zizzis

Food was nice, but service was poor. Waiters looked disinterested and we felt like we weren’t cared for even though there was only 2 other tables in there at the time. They asked other tables how there food was but not us/ Whilst food came quickly, the service was lacking as they seemed moody, and then when we paying they insisted on giving a tip.

Luego el anfitrión del asiento nos pidió que cambiáramos la mesa. Estaba tratando de explicarle la situación en la que era tan grosero. Acabamos de salir. Si tienes un niño con necesidades especiales ten en cuenta este restaurante.

Comida servida rápidamente y buenas porciones. Muchas opciones para la familia. El servicio fue genial y la gestión fue bien educada. Manejaron muy bien una queja de mesa a nuestro lado. La mesa de al lado les había pedido que dejaran de abrir la puerta principal porque hacía frío. (Algo que no podían hacer ya que la gente tenía que entrar y salir) el gerente masculino trató bien su queja así que me llenó de confianza que si tenía algún problema se manejarían bien. ¡El pudín de chocolate fundido es brillante! La única caída es la falta de ciertos ingredientes temprano en una tarde de sábado. No hay helado de café o salsa de chocolate disponible. Mi hija estaba muy decepcionada.
