ZIZZI EXETER REVIEWS

This was my 1st time visiting Zizzi's, and I will be back for 2nd time. Booked for dinner and was greeted by our server. He let us choose where to sit. Food was delicious, very filling but managed to squeeze in pudding. Our waitress was really good, as I had downloaded the loyalty card there was an offer for £25 off which she made sure we used. Mocktails were good, so nice we had to have another one. Thank you Zizzi's for a great evening.

Had a family meal here with young children. Was seated comfortably and the service was great. Food was tasty and definitely our favourite pasta place in the area. Been again today after a long break. Still great. Delicious food and top tier service.

I was in a group of around 40 people and the servers were amazing. They were friendly and helpful. The food was good and the basil was the perfect addition to any pizza or pasta meal.

BELLA ITALIA EXETER REVIEWS

Very nice Italian restaurant in the centre of Exeter. Prices were reasonable and a good selection of wine was offered. Pizza was tasty, especially the Calzone and their Pasta is also quite good. Holiday special desserts were delightful, I actually had two. Have been here a few times and will return again. Would recommend.

We enjoyed a great meal here and despite being alone on the floor George did an amazing job and was really kind and patient. We really enjoyed our food. We had the carbonara and the spicy sausage and it was delicious. Thanks to the hard working team at Bella Italia Exeter.

Amazing experience, I visited Bella Italia for my friend’s birthday and had the best experience. The staff were really kind and welcoming, especially George who went above and beyond to meet our needs. I would dine here again, 10/10!!!.

VENEZIA EXETER REVIEWS

Had such a lovely evening, service was great and the food was really good. I had the sea bass which was cooked to perfection and was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be going back. Thank you for such a lovely evening.

We only ordered the pizzas and they were delicious! Love the pizza base very light and fluffy. Service was great and quick and the view was lovey too. Right by the river with a great outdoor area. Nice to sit here in the summer.

Myself had a Cezar salad wich was very well made My wife had a Bruschetta that looked amazing and my friends had some pizza and some meat balls. All good.
