Zonzo Restaurant

Forget sophisticated settings and haute cuisine, Zonzo Restaurant is more about keeping it stylish and affordable. Work colleagues trotting in at lunchtime, tourists at the hotels nearby wanting a little Italian experience, and busy executives meeting up on business make up most of their clientele in addition to the regular patrons, who love to watch the pizza chef in action.

A look at the menu reveals the kitchen juggling with a great volume of dishes starting with thinly sliced fillet bresaola served on a bed of rocket salad sprinkled with shaved Parmesan cheese or marinated char-grilled calamari with balsamic vinegar. These could be closely followed by a pan cooked 8oz sirloin steak with shallots and porcini mushroom served with special Zonzo gravy, and lightly grilled corn-fed chicken breast covered with bacon, tomato and melted cheese. There's plenty of choice on the dessert list as well, from layered cocoa sponge filled semifreddo style with vanilla cream and chocolate drops, to the lemon flavoured ricotta cheesecake.

The beautiful painted murals showcasing scenes and places in Italy help diners at Zonzo get a touch closer to an authentic Italian experience.
