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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Been to Lucianos (Luccios? Carluccios??) a couple of times in the last year and it's a decent place for Italian. The food has been great, with a decent pizza, fantastic beef ragu, and the best carbonara I've graced my tastebuds with the second time. I cannot stress enough, the food is FANTASTIC. Portions could do with a little more, but what I've got thus far has tasted lovely. Both times I've come in the place has been eerily quiet, so either something's up with my timing or the place is just... quiet? Regardless, the service has been timely, albeit mild-mannered, both times which isn't an issue at all. There is a 12.5% service charge stuck on as a heads-up, which you'll find in tiny text at the bottom of the menu. Not a fan of that trend as a whole, as I'd much rather tip good service and good food where it's due. My only complaints are the pricing (which is *STEEP*, especially for Dorset at £50+ for dinner for two) and the fact they took beef ragu off the menu - it was a fantastic dish and taking it off the menu is a crime against humanity. Bring it back! Either way, Luciano's food is fantastic, on the proviso that you aren't the person paying for it... But I don't know if that says more about myself or the restaurant. If the staff were a bit chattier and the British economy wasn't doing an impression of the Titanic (or things were a bit cheaper), I'd give five stars.

OMG! my wife and I were in Dorchester today and decided to go for a cheeky lunch so we went to Al Molo where judge Jeffries was and OMG we were not disappointed all of the food was absolutely nothing but Amazing as was the atmosphere and service we didn’t book although I would advise you to having been there! People just didn’t stop coming in! I can honestly tell you that the food was the very very very best meal I have had out in a very long time! So listen people if you’re in Dorchester it’s a must try ! I will drive there again just to go back to Al Molo for lunch or dinner wonderful restaurant and the chef owned the food and Absolutely nailed it! Thank you for a wonderful lunch all you guys at Al Molo! We will be back! And last but not least it was excellent value for the money!! If you people don’t try it then you’re missing out!
