"To get to the first Zizzi to open in Edinburgh in seven years, you have two choices. If you’re working up an appetite you can walk up from Cockburn Street or indeed if you want to keep fit. The easiest option is from the Royal Mile, look out for the entrance to Mary Kings’ Close, walk down the passage as if you were going into the attraction, turn left and you’re there. We went along to the launch evening, and were enchanted to be met by some of the residents of Mary Kings' Close dressed in their finery for the occasion. Now, I can't promise that sort of welcome each time you visit, but you'll instantly feel at home. You walk into an L-shaped space. Before you is a fabulous view down over Princes Street and beyond. I am instantly drawn to the left of the room where, in an open kitchen the team are preparing pizzas to bake in the roaring oven behind them. Starters are being prepared to the other side. It's a hive of activity. Later when I talk to Steve, the manager, I discover that he had the pick of staff from other Zizzi's and has brought the best to lead his team. He did have to find other staff to replace them mind you! Much as the pizzas looked delicious, I was keen to try one of the other dishes and was tempted by the Zizzi fish stew. A rather nice touch, the menu indicates dishes that contain 600 calories for those wanting to go for a lighter version and incredibly this dish is one of them. To start with with have a platter which showcases some of the dishes from the menu. The calamari (from the sharing menu) and the garlic bread with mozzarella and tomato and pesto bread from the “dishes to start”. The calamari are among the best I’ve ever tasted. Both the breads are delicious and the way I like them, crisp and not too much topping. Mr EF waxes lyrical about his insalata di pollo (chicken salad) which is again one of the 600 calorie dishes and includes chicken, pancetta, green beans, cannellini, onions, tomatoes and lentils in a aioli and lemon dressing. It’s moist and has just the right amount of dressing. My fish stew is chock full of fish and seafood in a deeply flavoured tomato sauce with sliced potato – each element cooked perfectly. Portions are generous! We get to share 3 desserts between us: lemon tart, tiramisu and chocolate tart. It was difficult to chose our favourites as all were a very fitting end to a lovely meal. Just to mention, the drinks list is extensive and reasonably priced and don’t miss the chance to try the limoncello! We continued to enjoy the atmosphere throughout our meal and the excellent service. Prices are reasonable – do go and give it a try especially if Italian restaurants are not your first choice. It’s really special."

Very good pizzas. If you like a little kick or a challenge try the Divalo pizza.

last night in edinburgh and just looking for something fast. I have pizza and risotto. pizzas were good and risotto that I felt was very wet. eating was not great to be honest.

Great food! They have a large selection of gluten free items. My son has celiac's and was excited about all the choices. The employees were friendly and the restaurant was clean. View menu

a very beautiful place from the royal mile for good Italian cuisine. a reliable chain for good eating, but we had some difficulty finding the place because it is within this close.

authentic Italian cuisine with an eclectic atmosphere. very lively with cheerful wall graffiti. pizza rostica was a thin, rectangular shaped, caramelized onion goat cheese. garlic bread was well infused with roses. flashlight was 20€ and good for vegetarians. the teig was also free of ice for our joy!

In case you didn 't know, it rains a lot in Scotland. One evening my wife and I were walking around Edinburgh and taking in the sights, when it began to rain on us. My wife was on the verge of a hangry attack, so we decided to grab a bite to eat and get out of the rain. The first place that we came across was Zizzi, which is an Italian restaurant chain in the United Kingdom.

We went here for Valentines Day and loved it! The food was incredible and I would go back here any day. The garlic bread with cheese was the best I've ever had. For mains I got margherita pizza which was really good and Gary got another pizza which he also really liked and he got their special long based one. For desserts we had a little brownie cake thing that had chocolate sauce in the middle @with ice cream and that too was very tasty. The only think I'd say is we did have to wait like 45 minutes for the bill despite asking a few times but I'll let them off since it was valentines day and they were rushed off their feet. They also have toilets with very nice lighting ladies I know you'll...
