REVIEWS OF Zizzi - Cardiff

Becci (14 February 2010)

I've eaten at Zizzi’s three times since the New Year came in and it was fantastic every time. They always have vouchers online to use which are very good offers, like the - buy one meal get the other for a pound and the latest one - get two courses for a tenner! The building is lovely and the food was great value and really nice. As for the service I have no complaints. The staff are always smiling and friendly and we have had excellent service every time. I would definitely suggest a visit to zizzi at Cardiff!

Victoria (14 April 2009)

I went to Zizzi for a hen night. I had never been there before and thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was such a beautiful place to eat and I am looking forward to my return very soon, as for those who question the service, I received good service and quick and healthy portioned food.
