The best restaurants serving Italian food in St Thomas Portsmouth South East

Visited Zizzi’s Portsmouth (Gunwharf Quays) with my Partner for our 1 Year Anniversary. Our first date when we got together was Zizzi so we thought we would keep the tradition going and visit for our Anniversary. Our server Julia was very polite and helpful as we had a One4All voucher to use for our bill which was gifted from some friends, and I wanted to make sure I was able to use it! We were! Service was very quick, efficient, and the food was top quality! Warm, fresh, and tasty! My Partner had the Mozzarella Bomb for the Starter and I had the Bruschetta, both was exquisite and presentation was appealing! For the mains I had the Spaghetti Chorizo Carbonara which was creamy and cheesy. My Partner for her main had the Spaghetti Bolognese which is her favourite! Finally, for Dessert we both had the Salted Caramel Chocolate Brownie! Our Drinks for the night was a Morello Cherry Refresher Mocktail and a Passion Fruit Sparkler which, both, were refreshing and left us both wanting more! The only reason for 4 and not 5 stars in the pricing, it’s very pricey for what you receive and for the size of portions but well worth it as a treat every now and again! Would go back in a heartbeat!

Foods good. But the service is terribly slow. Used to come here often. Haven’t been in a year and nothing changed. Always short staffed and long waits for food, although good.

Service was exceptionally slow, drinks took a long time to arrive. My hot drink had to be made again as it was a cold chocolate rather than a hot chocolate. It was extremely cold and we sat with our coats on. Not really how you want to eat lunch. There were heaters dotted around but none of them actually on. It wasn't busy and we sat with our plates infront of us for 14 minutes after we finished eating. It took another 10 minutes to be approached again for our bill. We asked for a print out of our bill and it was such a hardship to our server called "Ben" In the time we were there we had three different servers. Not the best lunch date I have had. But please F&B put the heating on in your family dining establishment. It's not like you can't afford to!

Fab service. Great offers and deals. Thanks for s great night out. Recommended for students and blue light card holders. Christmas offers too. 👍😊

Great salads, pizza, fish and deserts. Pistachio gelato, brownie and goat cheese salad is to die for! Service is quick
