ZIZZI DERBY REVIEWS

Absolutely amazing! From the lovely warm welcome to the delicious food. Our host Jo was so attentive and friendly nothing was too much trouble for her. We were full after our meals. So Jo packed our puddings up so we could bring them home. Thanks to all the team Vegetarian options: A nice selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes available.

Had a great late lunch, food was good, warm, and plenty of toppings! They also have some vegan options which my friend really enjoyed (Vegan Harissa Meatball pizza and Bruchetta pics are the vegan options.) Our server Jerry was attentive to our needs, she made sure we had everything we needed, and was friendly : ).

Come here regularly with my daughter for food and always enjoy our visit. We were served yesterday by the lovely Zoe who was fantastic, she went above and beyond! Thank you.

FRANKIE & BENNY'S DERBY REVIEWS

Absolutely stunning food, wonderful staff and fab atmosphere! The corn dog things, are delicious! Lots of veggie options too! Also, very helpful, caring and fun staff! Great job F&B’s! Your pride park Derby branch is an asset! Thank you Wheelchair accessibility: My mother is a wheelchair user, and great, easy access.

We were incredibly pleased with our recent visit to your Pride Park branch. The staff were lovely and friendly, the food was delicious and the service was amazing. We had a lovely date night and will definitely be returning with our family.

Great staff served us. Being next to Pride Park Stadium on a game day meant it was quite busy/ noisy. Food was good and ice cream perfect.

First visit to Carluccio's. The food was excellent, very fresh, tasty, and portion sizes we just right. The staff were friendly and attentive. If you love Italian food, this is the place to try in Derby.

Been here twice with my partner. The staff are friendly, it has a nice environment and good food but a lil bit oily especialy the carbonara.
