Zizzi - Dorchester in West Dorset

Lovely environment to eat in. Food piping hot and promptly served (early evening setting). Served by Laila and very well looked after. Great price. And worth noting that we were there because we'd been in the previous evening and had had a great meal too. If I had to be super picky it's only to say to Zizzi head office that I find there is so much menu choice it's a bit overwhelming...

Great customer service,quality food and fast service by Laila

Wonderful service, lovely food. A little noisy

Amazing food and hugely helpful, accommodating staff!

Blake was our waiter amazing service will be back soon

Lovely evening spent here. The food was delicious. Ordered of the set menu so got 3 courses for £26 which was really good. Our server Blake was so friendly and helpful when we asked for take away boxes he sorted it straight away

Pinoli pizza was better then pizzas in Rome! So good.

Really delicious food. Blake was very quick and super polite. Definitely recommend.

Very cute place, servers were very friendly and the food was great. Best range of drinks I’ve ever seen. Super cool and refreshing !!

abin was very friendly, great service!

Kieron sorted us right out, food was good too

Kiren was amazing at serving us today thanks!!!

Amazing customer service food was excellent

Booked in our choir group of over 50 people. Everything was perfect from the table layout to the food and the staff members couldn't have been more friendly and attentive. We had the lunchtime set menu, very reaonable. Everyone really enjoyed it, thank you to Blake, David, Abin & Zzanette. We booked our second group in for next week!

Fantastic service, great friendly staff, definitely be back again!

Lovely food, service from Blake was faultless, would highly recommend

Really good food and service. Our waiter Blake was really helpful.

Really good food and amazing service from the waiter.

Blake was a good waiter, friendly

Always a great family friendly atmosphere on a busy weekend evening, but you definitely need to book. Staff are very friendly and the food is really good. Always some sort of discount to be had which means decent value. It's a great restaurant choice in brewery square.

Food was amazing and brought quickly to our tables. Lovely waitress who helped with ordering and keeping our twin girls entertained.

Very good Our server Laila was very friendly and happy to engage in conversation

Excellent food. Lovely service. Quite busy and a bit slow

This chain restaurant is very restricted in its information for the ingredients in its food. The staff reported that they were unable to assist and I had to wait for the Allergy Manager to come and take my order. He insisted that I had to check the on-line company allergy chart myself and said that the food was prepared off-site. Meaning that they couldn't alter anything. The whole experience was very uncomfortable.

Amazing hard working staff lovely attitude. Food was great our server was Laila.

Visited with friends for a get-together. Initially, left standing at the door waiting to be seated….we had a reservation. Food was lovely …. the Server did not serve from the left but instead straight over us! We had a query about one of the dishes….asked twice to check but this never transpired. The Server, who never introduced himself, could do with customer relations skills. Will not return or recommend.

It’s great, amazing food and our waiter Davied was really good and kind

Food was amazing worth the price, the waiter Blake made it even better great service by him

Stopped by for a light bite after the cinema. Every member of staff we spoke to was friendly and helpful. Particular shout out to our server Laila, and the tiramisu was delish.

Great meal for 21st birthday Ebony and Kieran made it very enjoyable and sand a lovely happy birthday song for us !

Fantastic! Kieron was very friendly

Went for a meal with my husband and had a lovely evening thanks to the team for your great service,but would like to mention Emese in particular as she was such a lovely person, service with a smile and chat whilst dealing with our orders. She was run off her feet but still made time for each guest that we saw her serve, she is a credit to your team. Thank you and will return again soon.

Lovely food, lovely meal, but most importantly love service provided by our waiter, Ed, he provides us with a lovely experience and will most definitely recommend him and Zizzis to all of my friends and close and distant family. Ed, the skies the limit. 5 stars from me! Thank you for this experience, will be here again

We regularly visit here and as always the food is great. Emese our host was amazing and made amendments to our order with ease and always made sure we had enough drinks and food.

It was my first time visiting Zizzi’s. I was very impressed. The food was excellent and the service was superb. Our lovely waitress Emese provided a brilliant service throughout and I would definitely visit again.

The place is always busy and for good reason. Best food and service. Our server Emese was so friendly!

Excellent service from Kieran who was personable and helpful.

Had a lovely lunch out with my sister, and had a very lovely waiter called Kieran who was very accommodating! Thank you!

Really lovely atmosphere, food was great and staff were really friendly - especially Emese.

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with our first (and last) visit to Zizzi. Restaurant is very nicely decorated and our waitress was lovely. However the food was a great disappointment. Son had children’s pizza which was so small it was served on a side plate/saucer. Not only small in size but so thin with barely any topping. Daughter had spaghetti bolognaise which tasted like the sauce was out of a tin. Puddings were the saving grace. Very expensive for very cheap/nasty food. Will not return and have advised friends and family not to waste their money going.

Always such a brilliant experience! Particular thanks to Emese for being so lovely and her great customer service!

Real friendly helpful service. Tasty food.

Laila was exceptionally attentive! Had lovely food in a very nice atmosphere!

Food was great, service was speedy and staff were super friendly especially Laila who was superb. More pasta crisps would be nice - THEY ROCK!

Our waitress Emese was really nice and helpful :)

Lovely meal, great service by Emese. Thank you xx

Very nice food. Friendly staff, especially Emesse. Good value for money

Service was AMAZING!!!! 10/10 service and food!!! defo will be back

Always a good experience at Zizzi's Service and food.... excellent!

We had a fantastic Saturday night at Zizzi’s Dorchester! The place was buzzing—queues out the door the entire time we were there—but thanks to our booking we were all set. Despite the hustle and bustle, the service was impeccable. Our waiter, Jarad, was attentive and efficient, and handled everything with ease. Assistant Manager Kieran ran the floor like a pro - the swan metaphor springs to mind! Zsanet and Blake were also just as impressive, checking in on our table as they walked by and making sure we had what we needed – always something with four children at the table! Jarad, Kieran and the whole team turned an ordinary meal into a standout experience! Their warmth and proactive approach make them a credit to Zizi’s – honestly – top London restaurants could learn a thing or two from them!

On arrival the man who greeted us was happy polite and friendly and took us to our table within a couple of minutes. All the staff were happy and friendly and looked like they enjoyed their job and were happy to be there. Our waitress was absolutely lovely, didn’t catch her name but she had beautiful lilac coloured hair. She was so friendly and checked everything was ok during our evening a couple of times and asked if everything was ok with our meal. We had a drink and a complementary small bowl of crisps/nibbles to enjoy while we waited for your food. Our starters were amazing and were brought out to us quickly. We had Mushroom Brindisi and a Chorizo and Mozzarella Bombe. Mains was Beef brisket and Venison Stufato and spaghetti chorizo carbonara. Desserts were Baked Lemon and blackcurrant cheesecake and a honeycomb cheesecake. The waiting time on each course was just right. 10/10 for each course. It was my best friend and I who enjoyed a meal here for my early birthday treat. I had never been to Zizzi before, I can’t wait to return as it was just amazing, the food, staff, service, the lot. Fantastic.

We booked a table for a meal to celebrate a family birthday before a visit to the cinema. This restaurant is situated right next to the cinema so I am sure they would get many bookings like ours. Table was booked for 7 but we were disappointed to find that when we turned up just before, there was a queue of about 7 groups that had also booked tables and none were ready. Everyone was crammed waiting in the entrance. The restaurant was very busy. We were told there was about a 15 minute wait. After waiting patiently for 15 mins, only one of the groups had been seated. We were worried about the cinema booking so asked the staff how much longer they thought it would be and were told that it would probably be another 20 mins. At this stage we left as we didn't feel we would be seated and served in time for the film. It's such a shame that Zizzis seem to prioritise money over guest experience, clearly not leaving enough time in between table bookings. It ruined a celebratory evening for us and definitely put us off visiting again.

Amazing and friendly service from the moment I walked through the door. The food was delicious and I felt very valued as a customer. Thank you.

The team were dealing with some absolute weapons of customers this evening. We were told 30 mins for a table in an overly professional manner which was great. We went for a drink and came back, they found us a table and they were busy!!! Chefs doing a great job and foh team dealing with people complaining about an hour wait for food, when actually they had been there for 50mins. We were laughing at the audacity of people these days. Laila was brilliant as our server and the supervisor/host (who looks like James blunt, steady on ladies) were absolutely fantastic. I hope we didn’t disappoint anyone or let them down. It was a brilliant visit on the back of a clearly hard night for the team. Good night my lover, good night my friend. The pizzas were the one for me

First time dining here and it was excellent from start to finish

Our server Zsanet was marvellous. She was extremely helpful and friendly. The food was exquisite as always and we had a lovely table with decent seating and view. Love Zizzi

Our server, zsanet, was absolutely lovely! Couldn't have faulted her, thank you so much!

Went for dinner with a couple of friends tonight, thankfully booked in advance as it was very busy! Food was fantastic, their dessert menu was incredible - so good I ordered two!!! I believe the server was called Keiran, he was exceptional, very busy sorting all the tables but maintained a high standard service! Will be back again !!! :)

Zsanet was really friendly and helpful!

Fast service nice atmosphere it was very busy very pleasant staff

The atmosphere was buzzy and enjoyable, we were looked after by Laila who was attentive and very pleasant. The prices where extremely good with the 3 course menu being very cost effective.

Laila was so lovely and couldn’t do enough for us, food and drinks were great and really nice atmosphere

Arrived quite early on a Friday eveningand the place was rammed! Must be a good sign. Drew a short straw and got the hard metal chairs instead of the comfy ones. Onto the food: Starters, prawns on a skewer. Not much to say, just prawns on a skewer with some tomato sauce. Just OK. Pizza: I had a sticky pig rustica. Rather an odd pizza. Extremely thin base,to the point that it shatters. Very thin layer of tomato sauce but only on half the pizza. Various bits of pork scattered about. Cheese, loads of honey and some teeth breakingly hard strips of pork cracking. I love pork crackling, but on a pizza? And rock hard? Overall taste of honey and not much else really. To be brutally honest, I prefer a spicy meat feast at spoons for half the money. Dessert: Sundae type thing in a champagne glass, not a sundae glass. It was actually the best part of the meal. Very nice, but then for over £8 it ought to be, So a 3 course meal for 2 with 2 drinks comes in at nearly £90. Terrible value for money. Thank goodness I had tesco vouchers to take up the bulk of the bill! Top marks to the waitress. Very attentive, chatty and prompt despite it being crazy busy. She was running about the place like mad.

Great good. Quick service. Lovely staff. Perfect 'tiny tummy' menu fur our 2yr old for only £3.50. Thanks to our server, Ellie.

Had an amazing experience at Zizzi Dorchester with our server kieran and Blake both amazing and very attentive. Food was amazing as always!

Perfect service by the lovely Laila definitely will be returning again soon

Food was brilliant, had starters and mains, service was just as good, thanks to blake our server.

Zsanet was amazing and made the environment great for my friends, babies and myself.

As I entered the restaurant I was greeted by a lovely man named keiren, he was very polite and efficient with service to make sure our experience was the best it could possibly be.

Great restaurant, friendly staff, amazing food

Had the Butter Bean Stufato, and the Black Forest fondant. Both from the specials menu, and both absolutely delicious!

Food was lovely. I don't normally like chain restaurants. But hey

Came with friends on 11th January. Having already eaten in a Zizzis before un Cardiff, my wife and I were really looking forward to this. On arrival we were seated at our table which was way too small for a group of 4. Once the food arrived we had to put the water jug on the floor to make room for everything and even then, the table was very cramped. The big negative for me was the constant draft coming from the entrance of the restaurant whenever somebody came in or left which was very frequent. Food quality: just average really! Nothing to shout from the roof tops about. The Tiramisu was a let down and my friends chocolate brownie was frankly shameful in size for £7 Can safely say we won’t be back in a hurry.

Table booked for 7:30. Big queue when we arrived and all had booked a table. Average waiting time was 15-20 minutes. When we did get seated we were told they only had one table which was right by the door so could feel a draft constantly and had people who were waiting for a table watching us most of the evening. Sat by a large group of about 20 people who were very noisy. Not enough staff on. Had to keep calling them over to get any service. Pizzas were cold when arrived so had to send back. So expensive! Desserts now £7-8 each. Not value for money. Would not recommend.

Fabulous and speedy service Great food, no faults

After not having eaten at Zizzi’s for years we will be returning again very soon. Amazing food, couldn’t fault it! All the staff were friendly and amazing but Kieran our waiter really did make this a great experience. Would recommend to anyone

A bit overpriced and they managed to serve an alcoholic drink, rather than a non-alcoholic one and just laughed when I asked for a replay.

Lovely meal for lunch with my partner and toddler. Kieran was fantastic, cheerfully interacting with our daughter throughout our lunch, she loved him. The food was delicious. We had mozzarella tomatoes starter, spicy meatball pasta, spicy chicken pizza, and chocolate sundae to finish. I was surprised by the prices a little, but haven’t eaten out in a while, so may be a little out of touch. Over £17 for a pizza with minimal ingredients. The meatball dish had lots of meat, probably didn’t need all three meatballs, two would be plenty. Flavours were lovely. Have always enjoyed coming to Zizzi’s over the years in Dorch, and nice to see the quality and service is still high. Highly recommend for a filling, delicious meal with a smile. Thank you Zizzi’s team, we will be back again for another special occasion

Great service, great 🍸 drinks,and we had some food

Always love coming here on my way down to the beach. Such a beautiful space and even better service and food, thank you Zizzi Dorchester!!

Had a really lovely lunch here today, service was great and food was tasty

Food was lovely and you could tell everything was fresh and perfectly cooked, great attentive service by Kieran and everything was quick and efficient, thank you so much.

Poor service as it took half a hour just to get our drinks and then to have the server keep on about my friends allergies. I will never go in there again. We literally had our drinks that we paid for and walked out.

Wonderful food. Lovely staff. Only negative was the restaurant was really cold.

We were grateful they squeezed us in as they were busy. Abigail our waitress was nice and friendly and very good with the children. Food was good for a chain restaurant. Only thing we found disappointing was how close the tables were. I’m not expecting loads of room but I don’t like people touching me or my coat repeatedly when going between tables. It’s just a bit irritating when you’re trying to eat but overall a nice experience.

Very friendly, served fast and constantly checked in on by our server Laila. Took our little one and they were great with her.

Leila was very polite and friendly.

Very enjoyable experience. Abigail was very attentive and deserves a pay rise. Would definitely come again.

Great food, Abigail served us and was excellent.

Emese was fantastic and took great care of of us

Amisha was an amazing server and we would be glad to have her again anytime. The food was very good.

WOW WOW WOW. My partner and I took our 6yo daughter out for a New Years Eve meal here and so glad we did. The attention to detail in absolutely everything was second to none and this includes the attention made to me being Coeliac. The atmosphere, food, drinks and staff were all faultless and we have found our new local place to eat out. We had 3 courses and each of my plates came out with a little GF sticker which I thought just shows these guys understand the rules and seriousness of allergies. We could not fault a single thing during our time in here of around 2 hours. Now I'm hoping I've got the right person but the name on our receipt is Meg. I would personally like to thank Meg for her time, help and knowledge with regards to the GF items I could have. Meg made our evening that little more enjoyable and less stressful when it comes to allergies. Meg, I hope you had a drink on me and we'll be seeing you again very soon. I can safely and honestly recommend Zizzi's Dorchester to anyone in the area looking to have an enjoyable meal out. Happy New Year to all.

Had a lovely meal out in this busy restaurant. All the staff were really friendly and attentive and the food was yummy. Would defiantly recommend .

Waiter Abbie was so friendly and efficient. Very attentive and cheerful. Brilliant pizzas as well.

Abigale was great, food fab as usual. Happy new year to you all.

Abigail was very attentive on a very busy night! Thank you

Served by Abiagail who was super patient , very kind and knowledgeable about the menu
