"We were looking for a quick meal near the Millennium Centre before the opera, and Italian cuisine seemed like a good choice. The restaurant is spacious and bright, and during the early evening, it's a popular spot for young families. Since we were aware of our time constraint, we opted for pasta, and our waitress kindly reminded us that we needed to eat quickly. Our meals—Pasta della Casa and Crab Cannelloni—arrived promptly and were both delightful. The house pasta, which featured baked cassareccia, roasted chicken, pancetta, baby spinach, and a creamy sauce topped with Reggiano cheese, was rich and satisfying. The cannelloni turned out to be a lighter yet equally delicious option. While Zizzi isn’t a fine dining establishment, it’s perfect for a quick bite or a casual meal. Plus, it offers stunning views of Cardiff Bay, and its proximity to the Millennium Centre makes it an ideal spot for a pre-show dinner."

Not the best Zizzi I've been to in terms of food, but it was satisfactory. The service was excellent.

This Zizzi wasn’t the best I’ve been to in terms of food, but it was still satisfactory. The service, however, was excellent.

Really basic. Cocktails were not nice and presented really poorly. Food tasted like they were ready meals warmed up. Never will go again. Prezzo is so much nicer.

Nice meal with friends in a lovely waterfront setting. Service from the waiter who took our order and waitress who took drinks order was friendly and efficient but greeting on arrival was poor as I was told they could not find my booking. When I said I had booked through Opentable he seemed displeased and said bookings often didn't come through but we were just lucky he had a table free! Not a good start but once we were seated we had good service and a good meal.

When we arrived, we were informed that our reservation had not been noted, making the booking feel pointless. The staff seemed distracted, almost floating around the restaurant while sipping drinks and chatting, clearly oblivious to the customers and their needs. Occasionally, they’d stop by our table to check if we were ready to place an order, but only after a long wait. The food arrived in small batches, and we eventually gave up on waiting for them to take our dessert orders.
OpenTable
Upon our arrival, we were informed that the restaurant did not receive notifications for bookings made through OpenTable, rendering our reservation pointless. Throughout the evening, we noticed the staff chatting among themselves, drinking, and meandering about, seemingly oblivious to the customers. They would occasionally grace us with their presence to check if we were ready to endure another lengthy wait for our food. The dishes arrived sporadically, and after a while, we lost patience waiting for them to take our dessert orders and decided to leave.

We were searching for a place near the Millennium Centre for a quick meal before the opera, and Italian cuisine seemed like a fitting choice. The restaurant is spacious and filled with light, making it a popular spot for young families in the early evening. Given our time constraints, we decided on pasta and informed our waitress that we needed to eat quickly. Our dishes—pasta della casa and crab cannelloni—arrived promptly, and both were delightful. The house pasta, which featured oven-baked casareccia pasta, roasted chicken, pancetta, baby spinach, and riserva cheese in a creamy sauce, was rich and satisfying. The cannelloni was a lighter option but equally delicious. While Zizzi isn't fin...
