REVIEWS OF Zizzi - Cheltenham

JAP and TAP (6 July 2011)

We dined at the above restaurant last week, and found the service excellent. The staff were attentive without being negligent. The food was great, not one table to spare when we were there. Food was hot and not expensive. The atmosphere was brilliant and I would go back at any time. Can we have one near Durham please?

Tracey (15 July 2010)

This restaurant will blow you away, the food is brilliant and service is perfect, you must try it!
