Zizzi - Cheltenham in Cheltenham

Came for a late valentines meal with my partner and we couldn’t find any faults whatsoever! Has to be one of the prettiest restaurants I’ve ever been to being an old church. The food was absolutely outstanding, the best pasta and sauce I’ve ever had. The baked cheesecake was delightful. All staff were brilliant, Tom was so enthusiastic and friendly, he really made our evening that much better, he seems born to do customer service. Friendly, funny and also professional! All in all it was a brilliant evening. 10 out of 10 across the board. We will 100% be coming back!

Tom was great, food was fantastic - would visit again!

Food was delicious and we had great service from Maddie.

Great service, attention and recommendations from Maddie. Rumours of being the GOAT are true.

Maddie was brilliant and helped make it a lovely valentine's meal for me and my partner. It had been a while since we'd been to Zizzi's but we've fallen for it again. Lovely place, lovely food, lovely staff.

We had a lovely valentine's night meal at Zizzi's Cheltenham. Our server Maddie was so friendly! The atmosphere and service was absolutely amazing :). The food was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful - from starter all the way to desert. I highly recommend Zizzi's to anyone - where else in Cheltenham can you go and have lovely food, great friendly service and in a converted church!

Lovely meal for dad's 90th birthday. The lady serving make it really special. Thanks. Only downside, it was a bit chilly in such a large old building on a cold day. Best take a jumper.

Rebecca was lovely, nothing was too much trouble and the chef produced my perfect meal!!! Really appreciated my aversion to potatoes being accommodated etc!Thank you x

Nice meal in an old church building. Some vegan options on menu

Lovely food and lovely service, our waiters Tom and Steve were incredibly polite and efficient, we couldn’t believe the speed we were served! Beautiful building and atmosphere too. Would definitely recommend!

A big disappointment today Tue 21st. We arrived at the restaurant around 3 PM, but the staff completely ignored us, even though the restaurant was empty. This is the second time this restaurant has let us down.

Kate was fantastic Very friendly and attentive Great food Brilliant location

Our waitress Ada was brilliant and very attentive, food was fab too!

Had really good food here, good prices too with the offers on Zillionaires. We were served by Tom who was really helpful and friendly, and even recommended us a dessert to choose. Would definitely return :)

My husband and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary today at Zizzis at it was amazing. The atmosphere was lovely, the service was brilliant and the food was delicious. Our waiter, Tom, was so friendly and made sure we had everything needed/wanted. His reccomendations were spot on (the lemon drizzle martini was perfect) and he checked on us throughout our meal to ensure everything was OK. Rebecca, the manager, also makes the best cappuccinos! She must do it the proper Italian way, which is hugely appreciated! We will definitly be returning and Zizzi's will now be our regular spot, thank you!

Lovely quiet village area with a lovely village hall and a nice playground at the back.

It is a lovely setting, but it was very cold inside the restaurant. When I ordered a latte with whole milk, I was told that they don't have any whole milk. Then we were told that they had run out of cups, meanwhile there were only two tables occupied in the restaurant, our table being one of them. Two of my nieces said that their pasta dishes were bland and my sister said the same about her lasagne. When it's came to paying, my niece informed the waitress that she had vouchers and the waitress rolled her eyes. We had said at the beginning that we didn't want the optional service charge adding, but waitress added it anyway. The bill was so confusing that we didn't realise this had been added until afterwards. The waitress had shown some singular orders as a three course order and had lumped a number of orders that way, which made it difficult to work out individual bills. It was a birthday celebration lunch for two of my nieces, so we could have done without these hassles. We won't be going back, or recommending this restaurant. Very disappointing.

rebecca was a very good server and very understanding

I’m a frequent visitor to Zizzi restaurants, this was my first time in Cheltenham zizzi and it was comfortably my worst experience at Zizzis. Firstly, though its novel being in an old church it was absolutely freezing inside, We had a booking at 7pm we ordered pretty quickly and got our drinks and starters quite promptly. However it took the staff over 30 minutes to remove our plates after we finished our starters. We then waited a further 20 mins for our main course, I enquired to a waitress as to why our mains were taking so long she simply replied that everybody was waiting and that the kitchen was backed up without offering a reason as to why this was the case. I should add the restaurant was only 25% full, we also 2 couples sit down and then leave after speaking to one of the waitresses without ordering anything not sure why that was the case. The staff seemed to care about the takeaway orders more than the restaurant orders. Was not impressed, staff are very unprofessional.

The staff were very welcoming and looked after us brilliantly. We were a party of 22 and our food and drinks arrived promptly. The service from the staff and Kate in particular was exceptional.

All fine, though the heating didn't seem to be very effective and we were a bit cold!

Brilliantly looked after by Maddie - thank you!

We had a great time at Zizzi’s ! The location is amazing and our waitress Kate was lovely and made sure we had a great experience.

Maddie was amazing and food was superb !!!

Food was good though one meal arrived a lot after the others by which time things had gone cold. Service was slow and not very friendly especially given how empty the place was when we arrived.

Excellent service from Kate, food was outstanding as always - overall a lovely experience. Thank you very much!

Love the food here! Kate was great as well! Service was fab!

Lovely food, stunning venue and really great service from our waitress Kate. 5 stars all round!

Lovely food and great service from Maddie

Kate was excellent, chilli was hot!! Kate was so attentive, a credit to your business

Loved it. Such a great location, good food and lots to choose. We will be returning.

Ada was a great server , very friendly and made the birthday dinner a lovely experience

Couldn't ask for a better waitress than Maddie! She is such good fun and very knowledgeable!

Poppy, our waitress was brilliant! Older daughter and I (actually, our whole family) have always very much enjoyed our trips to C'ham Zizzi's since it opened, many years ago. We have a vegan + vegetarian in our family, and always find we actually have a choice on the menue. The food is delicious, the service smiley and very good (especially Poppy) and the ambiance beautiful. Long may you stay open!

Lovely Tuesday evening out - service by Kate was excellent, food was lovely, atmosphere quiet enjoyable night

Lunchtime on a Monday. Hard to create atmosphere as only customers there, but great Xmas decorations and tunes!

We had a nice visit to Zizzi Cheltenham. It was very busy, all tables full. The waitress we had (Kate) was excellent. There were 11 of us, and apart from 1 or 2 minor things we had she dealt with us excellently. No one complained about the food or the wait times so a thumbs up.

A group of 7 of us went to Zizis before heading to the cinema. The food was excellent and the service was very fast so we got to our film on time. We ordered quite a lot of food and several meals had changes. Ada, the lady who served us, was very attentive. The only thing I will say is that I found the room quite cold so I kept my coat on for the meal.

First time in Cheltenham and it's beautiful! Utterly gorgeous welcome from the fabulous Bekkah, total queen, love her to bits, totally fabulous addition to any team! Lovely service from Ruby, all spot on with attention and requests. Beautiful setting too, would recommend!

Friendly efficient service from Steve. Good food, swiftly served, at a great price. We'll be back!

Food took well over an hour to come out and the beef ragu was pretty dry and had very little meat. The starter and desert were nice.

Great food and Jack our server was very accommodating

Ate here the other day. Was absolutely delightful food. I had the beef ragu and a beautiful honeycomb cheesecake. Could not say a negative word about the dishes. However, I did feel my experience was ruined by the atmosphere. The managers in the background (I think I can recall that one was called Steve) didn’t seem to be treating their staff very well. A lot of angry gestures and at one point I think one of the poor girls was crying. It was a beautiful place to eat and the food was great but was ruined a little bit by the poor management.

Nice pizza but on the expensive side. It was very cold inside and I noticed people sat down with their coats on. The toilets were very cold with little evident hot water and a cold hand dryer which made it worse. The service was slow to start but very pleasant once you got their attention. I went here when it first opened many years ago and it had a buzzing atmosphere with tables on the balconies too. Just seemed on a Friday night a little sad.

I had a wonderful time yesterday evening at Zizzi’s. My pizza was marvellous and my server Jacks delivery was magnificent which really enhanced my experience. I will 100% be back.

I came to Zizzi this evening and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The food was decent and well priced but what stood out was the service. A young lad called Jack was a fantastic waiter for me and my girlfriend and we will definitely come back thanks to him!

Not a bad experience here. Situated in a nice part of Cheltenham, not too difficult to get to from the centre. Food was ok, granted it was a set Christmas menu, the prawns were good however lacked flavour in the pasta. The tiramisu was still frozen when received. The starter was great, so credit where it's due.

Lovely food, nice building, friendly staff especially Jack who brought a smile or 2 to our evening.

Our Waiter Tom provided an excellent service. Made a quick drop in experience an enjoyable memorable one.

Tom was absolutely fantastic. The food was great and very reasonably priced.

Monday night, family meal out. Food was average. Prawn/lobster pasta was excellent, though teenage son was disappointed by the carbonara. Pizza was good. No better or worse than any other pizza chain. The big cavernous church space should make it a exciting venue, but the atmosphere was very flat, and cold, on the Monday night.

Lovely meal and very friendly staff. Cheered is up after a miserable day.

Ada our waitress was wonderful! Thank you!

Beautiful building to enjoy our meal. Service was good. Food was delicious.

Was a lovely experience with Morgan serving our table, definitely coming again

Great food and service was excellent

Food was absolutely amazing, and Kate made sure we had a lovely time by being super super friendly! We were very happy 😊

Had an amazing meal in zizzis today with a few friends for a late birthday celebration. Our waitress, Morgan, was amazing nothing was to much she was very knowledgeable and attentive. She really made our experience stand out and always had a smile on her face. The food was amazing alway love the pollo piccanta 🤩

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Morgan at Zizi Restaurant made our dining experience unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, Morgan was attentive, warm, and truly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time. Not only did Morgan know the menu inside out, but they also had amazing recommendations for both food and drinks, perfectly tailored to our tastes. Every dish arrived at the perfect time, and Morgan’s genuine enthusiasm made us feel like we were dining with an old friend. It’s rare to find someone who cares this much about each guest’s experience, and it absolutely elevated our night. If you’re lucky enough to have Morgan as your server, you’re in for a real treat. Thank you, Morgan and Zizi Restaurant, for a wonderful evening. We’ll be back soon!

Great venue, good service but none of us liked the food. I’m a pizza addict but didn’t want to eat more than half mine. Won’t be returning.

I regularly come to this zizi’s but was extremely disappointed with the service i recieved. We were one of only 2 tables in the resturant yet we ordered our drinks and then watched the 2 members of front of house staff walk around (I understand that the other table was a larger table but they werent serving this table and were still not making out drinks) and clean tables while no one made our drinks. We watched the chef’s getting annoyed as they were putting our food on the pass and no one was coming to collect it. After a while one of the chef’s had to go into back of house to get someone to run the food as the manager was seemingly just sat in back of house. I understand things get stressful as I worked for ask italian as a manager for nearly a year and i know how the company works. After the food was brought over we asked for water (which we had asked for about 20 minutes prior) and the manager made a comment about “where am i supposed to put it” and i understand having a joke with your customers but it honestly just came across as rude in this instance. Like i said i come to zizi’s quite regularly and the food never disappoints but the service was nowhere near up to standard this time. Also the pasta crisps weren’t offered which i know are supposed to be

Tasty food in a fantastic location, fast friendly service which can all be done via your phone if you prefer.

Lydia who served us, was first class 👏

Lovely food, we came mid week and the atmosphere was nice busy but not overly so you can have a quiet word with your dining partner! Lydia did a fantastic job, she was very friendly and attentive :)

Unique place, always good food, great time serving you.

went for a birthday of my friend's and we had such a wonderful time - our server was kate and she was fantastic not to mention imcredibly funny and kind . still need to make a note of where your bowls are from as well !!

I’ve only been once and had pizza and some starters. It’s not the best food you’ve ever had but it’s a good 4/5. The interior is amazing, I will definitely come back to try something other than pizza.

Choose this as a treat for my 15 year old. Zizzis' Chelt was shocking. Left feeling hungry, ripped off, and totally uncared for. It's been along time since I've had such a bad dining experience. They seemed keener on geting the deliveroo orders out. Main meals were around £19 but portion size was like a starter and not that tasty. Writing this to save others from wasting their money and time. Booo!

Our waitress Ella was very kind and attentive, lovely evening out :)

How cool is it to eat in an old church? It was such an amazing experience—something I never thought I’d come across! I have to give credit to Zizzi for always surprising me with these unique spots. We stumbled upon this church-turned-restaurant in Cheltenham, and we didn’t hesitate for a second before going in. The experience was awesome. If you’re in Cheltenham, I highly recommend stopping by for a pizza. You won’t need to pray for the food to be good because it’s Zizzi, and they never disappoint!”

Great ambience, great staff, great food. What's not to like.👍👍

Fantastic service from savannah and Tom ! Great food and a lovely lively atmosphere.

was a lovely meal with lovely servies

Everything was great. Especially the place is amazing.

A friend and I had a great evening, enjoying our delicious food. We were served by lovely Lydia who was very polite, friendly but professional, and ensured we were looked after well. Thank you!

Came here with my family and was a car crash from the outset. Was greeted by a girl at the front who looked like she’d never smiled in her life. We told her that we didn’t have a booking and she looked at us like we’d shot her cat … she then said there was no space and we proceeded to look around at about 50 empty tables. After a bit of commotion, eventually the manager on duty, Steve came over to save the day and offer us a table. Happy we were to finally be seated, we ended up regretting as although the food was fine, the service received from the team, and in particular Steve, was awful. I’d never seen such unhelpful and unhappy people at a restaurant… it felt like we were more at a funeral! We used to attend here back in the day when there was beautiful piano music being played by a young man, the venue was busy and the service was amazing. 0/10 for Steve and his team as we would’ve had better service walking around a graveyard. Will not be returning. I also hear the staff turnover here is quite high and delivery drivers refuse to pick up orders from here due to the way they are treated. I wouldn’t be surprised!

This is an amazing restaurant. The service was absolutely amazing and so kind. The food was so delicious and there is a huge variety to choose from! Definitely worth visiting and definitely worth trying!

Lovely experience i had the chorizo carbonara and the waitress ella was very friendly and helped us out a lot!

We were served by Tom. He is lovely. He deserves a raise

Served by Lydia who was great, very professional, patient and laughed at our jokes !! 😂. All staff very friendly and helpful. Food delicious, prompt service but not rushed. What’s not to like !!

Waitress Savannah was really nice. The fondue is amazing!

Bit disappointed, waitress took order and said she could make a pasta dish with veg and white sauce. And then it has hardly any veg. Some of the dishes were also not warm enough. Pizza that we ordered didn't have peppers and they didn't even add it.

Savannah was a great server made a wonderful experience for us food was lovely and is always a great place to go :)

Been a few times and always been good but it was a disappointment this weekend. It took over 20 mins to get drinks (saw them in the bar for ages and servers just kept walking past) long waits to give our order and then 40 minutes to get food. It wasn't full but we noticed take out meals flying out so they clearly put that first. Food was OK but not worth the price tbh and as we were there for a birthday it was a real shame. Few wrong drinks etc as well. There was clearly a staff issue as there was only 2 waitresses and one bar staff on for the majority of our time there. Who were lovely but clearly struggling. Our table spent over 300 pounds and definitely wasn't worth it.

Lydia was an amazing server very attentive. Nothing was too much. She was very helpful with a change in order. Could not ask for a better server.

Lovely meal and service today from Tom! Thank you!

Savannah was lovely and attentive and food was great 😊

Savannah was just perfect. Informative, knowledgeable and respectful to our needs.

Savannah was out waitress and she amazing!! Me and my friends had a great time

Savannah was exceptional. Lots of energy and very attentive. We were a table of 16.

Savannah, our waitress was lovely from the moment we walked through the door. Help us get free food! Recommended loads of dishes to use and was overall so so friendly. Engaged in good conversation and really added to our meal! Thank you so much! We had a great time🫶🏻

Savannah was absolutely brilliant, chatted with us and gave us the best recommendations - made our experience!! Highly recommend :)

Excellent menu with plenty of choice. Really good service and the old church is a great venue.

Lovely atmosphere, great service from Savannah and everyone, scrumptious food

Tom was great, really lovely and welcoming. Had a great experience :)

A great experience at Zizzi Cheltenham. Firstly what a beautiful restaurant in an old Church. Tom took my two bookings for the two consecutive nights. On the second night he was also our waiter. He has a good energy and was very helpful all evening. We both had a pizza which was very large and delicious. The evening before I tried the Sicilian salmon which was quite nice followed by chocolate and lemon and panacotta icecream which was lovely.

Ada was an excellent server today. Very attentive and polite

We came in today without a booking. Welcomed in and sat down lovely table loads of options for us and the kids, fantastic service from Tom start to finish!! Food was very good! Will be back again!

Savannah made our evening supper even better with excellent customer service.

such a beautiful venue and amazing food and lovely service from savannah :)
