"The bread at this restaurant was tasty, but unfortunately, the rest of the meal was disappointing. The lamb chops were enjoyable, however, the grilled fish was undercooked and arrived almost cold. The Greek salad seemed more like a small dish of tomatoes with a couple of olives and two bland pieces of feta cheese. The final bill did not meet our expectations."

"Food was a mix of underwhelming just okay. We ordered the calamari (don’t recommend- flavourless didn’t taste fresh), mushroom arancini (these were good), and the vegetariana pizza( not bad but forgettable), broccolini side (good- probably the highlight) While the food was okay, service was pretty bad. They managed to mess up our order, which meant that our pizza and broccoli was either given to another table or cancelled and came out VERY delayed (they denied it and one of the severs was sassy about it)….. Don’t recommend this place"

"We ate twice here in the nights we were in Edinburgh and the whole experience was outstanding both times wonderful food and wine and wonderful staff. I have eaten steak all over the world and my Sirloin was the best I have ever had, really tasty, juicy and cooked to perfection medium rare! If you are in Edinburgh treat yourself to a meal heare I promise you will not be dissapointed."

"The front of the restaurant on Argyle Street may be understated, but the interior is quite pleasant with a conservative and classic decor that complements the menu and service well. The menu is extensive and features a great wine selection. The dishes are beautifully presented and well cooked, with a delightful mix of flavors and textures that evoked memories of dining in Florence. The service is attentive yet not intrusive, catering perfectly to my preference to focus solely on my companion. I highly recommend trying the steak Diane."

"After looking forward to this meal all day as an alternative to a hospital meal (been in St Mary’s next door for weeks), I was disappointed with what was delivered. The Fantasia Special looked nothing like the website images and actually whilst this element...was tasty with the mushroom sauce topping, it is described online as grilled chicken breast topped with creamy mushrooms. However the chicken was not a nice fat looking chicken breast and was more like chicken that had been butterflied as was thin and flat with just a long shape. The rice which was served in separate container was like a rice I’d get from a Chinese takeaway and some overcooked and clumped together. The side dish Of veg that I paid extra for was again in a separate container and was like the cheapest canned vegetable mix you’d buy in a supermarket and was not great at all, I’d certainly be kicking off hugely if I was dining in and that turned up on my plate. I was expecting some fresh brocolli and greens perhaps but this was just a joke. Real shame of a meal after a day of looking forward to eating this based on lovely looking web images which appear to be totally false."

"Choice of interesting rustic Italian food. But not a huge menu. Waitress managed to spill half a glass of juice over me, she was apologetic, but seemed more interested in wiping the floor than providing something to help me though (the manager did come to help afterwards)."

"We have always loved coming here and it was always excellent however on Friday it was most disappointing. My husband ordered a whole Turbot which looked fabulous although arrived suspiciously quickly. He always de bones fish himself as he knows how to do so professionally and it became quickly obvious that the fish was not cooked through. It was sent back twice but still was not properly done. Our waiter was delightful and extremely helpful and professional however his manager was definitely not. He considered it wise to condescend to my husband that he would take the bone off for him and that was when things went downhill. Rude. Sad end to what had started as a lovely evening."

"Visited on valentines day. Of course on a busy day like that it was always going to be difficult for the front of house to provide the best service. However, the main problem with zizzi as a whole at the moment is the app ordering. To get the app was easy enough with the bar code on the table with table number. But, ordering is not as personal as you expect from a restaurant. By this I mean when ordering a pizza you expect to be able to customise the toppings as its one of the most customisable meals out there. But the app had no option for this meaning we avoided the pizza. In the end, we ordered the new sharer starter, a beef shin meal with potatoes and ricotta filled tortelloni. The starter was just amazing, beautifully cooked fried calamari, oozy arancini with mozzarella filling, tangy caprese salad and garlicky garlic bread. A great starter to share, for it was a bit much but perfect for or With such a great start we were then let down by the mains. My beef shin was cooked nicely and the broccoli accompaniment paired well, but the cheesy potato that was supposed to come with it was replaced by chips, due to running out. I understand that when you run out there isn't anything to do, however because we ordered on the app no one warned us about this until it arrived, and by then it is too late to change. However, it was the tortelloni that was really disappointing. It came as described, the spicy tomato ragu was tasty, but the filling of ricotta was horrible. It had the texture of strange mash potato and was devoid of taste. Because of this we both decided not to finish our dishes. The saving grace for this visit was the starter and the service we received from a hectic front of house. When we mentioned the tortelloni the manager was kind enough to remove it from the bill, even after resistance from myself. From seeing other tables you could see that the waiter's/waitresses were truly trying their best to save everyone's nights. So I give them stars because the starter was lovely and the staff were doing their best. But the marks are lost with a poor consistency of food quality and an app that needs updating or removing."

"Our go to Italian when we fancy eating out locally. It is so reasonably priced, you cannot argue with the value you get for decent portion sizes and good service. The house wines come in carafes aswell which is great. The seafood starters are all delicious particularly rate the calamari fritti and mussels. Pizzas were something I had never thought about getting as I usually go for pasta but they are perfect. Seafood pasta is my favy, but the tagliatelle with ham and walnuts is lovely for a wee calorie splurge...when in Rome and all that (pardon the pun)"

"First of all, the looks of the female waiters in the restaurant were very disturbing and they never listened while ordering and spoke in their own language. I think I understood what they were saying for us. The male waiters were very friendly and welcomed. I ordered kebab lava cake etc. . It's a very noisy place in terms of atmosphere. My friend and I could barely hear each other. People are talking very loudly. I suggest you eat your food without talking and leave"

"This is the place to book for a delicious meal where the tortelloni pasta is rolled thinly, the pasta bases are proper italiano, the sauces are tasty and the meat specialities like veal, beef and 'pollo ' are always tender. Ask for the soup of the day for an unusual but spot on combination.try and avoid the complimentary bread and olives if you don 't want to be too full before the main meal arrives! These are not small dieters portions, so ask for a small helping if you 're worried about that kind of thing. There are no pretences or frills, this is trattoria styling with full blown flavours of Italy. The warm welcome you get from the owners is unequalled in any other Aberdeen restaurant of this ilk. Minimal improvements could be made to the baby changing toilet facilities and maybe by stocking some prosecco this restaurant would be 100% splendid. But the food could not get any better. Try, try and try again"

"I ate dinner with a friend at Pappa Roma on a Saturday evening. We ordered a quattro stagioni pizza and a seafood pasta. Both were tasty, and the portions were generous. The prices were very affordable too. The staff member who seated us at first was somewhat detached, but during the meal the staff were helpful and responded to our requests quickly. However, we found the atmosphere very poor. We were seated in a downstairs area that had a huge screen showing a football match. It was noisy and distracting, although to their credit the staff turned the sound to a lower setting when I asked. Later on, the staff put on some radio music which was loud and offputting (especially during the commercials); again, they did turn it to a quieter setting when I asked, but it was still distracting."

"I usually go to Golden Fish and chips off of Oxford Street but because of all of the Great Reviews I thought we should try poppies. We got the haddock and chips and it was flavorless. usually cod is the bland one and haddock is much tastier) All the flavor was in the crust but the fish itself was bland we added a lot of salt and Malt vinegar but didn’t help much. The fries weren’t great usually I would eat the whole lot but not this time. They give you a very small jar of tartar sauce. Not enough in my opinion! And it didn’t taste like the freshly made tartare sauce but something out of a jar : The mushy peas were good. Bathroom downstairs clean. The couple next to us got fried calamari and that looked appetizing so maybe get a smaller fish and chips and try something else"

"Smell is so important for taste AND local restaurants are so important for laziness. Pure Cyprus, a stones throw away from Finsbury Park offers Greek cuisine for the local folk. Greek food for me is mezze delights such as Hummous, tahini, tzakiki and halloumi for starters. Then followed by kebab and finally some sweet baklava."

"My friend and I visited a concert at the Apollo and decided to grab a bite to eat beforehand. We were warmly welcomed by a lovely server and promptly seated. Our food arrived quickly and was delicious with generous portions. The restaurant was very clean, though I would suggest adding tablecloths for a nice touch. The prices were reasonable and I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation."

"Where to start. It’s probably best to look at the photos tbh. The ‘poppadoms and pickle tray’ was this abomination of a poppadom. Minus a pickle tray. The bhatooray (naan) was a laughable mess of half cooked whatever. The dried beef….well. Extra naan didn’t turn up. The food arrived half cold. This entire tray of food was £56. No doubt there will be a reply saying ‘we’re sorry you didn’t enjoy your food blah blah blah’ but sending this shambles out for £56 is a joke. Basically, go somewhere else."
