ZIZZI REVIEWS
Great looking restaurant from the outside and inside exposed brick, good lighting and old wooden boards exposed. Menu choice brought us in as had not booked, Lulu was very helpful and friendly throughout. Plenty of staff so food served quickly, Bruschetta and Linguine first class. Be coming back soon.
Absolutely faultless from start to finish, especially as we booked a table last minute. The food was fresh and delicious, with an impressive selection of gluten free, dairy free and vegan/veggie options. Every member of staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. Can't praise it enough, we will definitely be back.
Quick Service, Drinks were served pretty much straight away. Food came quick too and was very well prepared. Had a cappuccino after and was hotter than anything known to man kind. My tongue isn’t in a very good way.

Came across this restaurant by chance last saturday and how lucky was we. The atmosphere was warm and friendly the staff was polite and helpful the interior was designed to make you feel like you was on holiday and the food was fantastic. we both tried food we had not eaten before and thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. Great value for the money and cant wait to take the rest of the family back.
Came here for 20th Wedding Anniversary with my wife. Nice and cosy atmosphere, well presented food, good customer service. Everything went well. Loved the prawn dishes, can't remember the names now. If you come to Colchester, you must visit Ristorante F. Will be coming back.
