• "Great locations and views of the river in the summer evenings, they open up the bifold doors and it is really great."

Cons:

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Food took ages to arrive, they forgot the starters which didn't come until after we had finished, pasta was 100% microwaved."
• "Worst pizza I’ve ever had. Usually a big fan of Zizzi, but pizza was so thin it was like cardboard and dry."

• "I would be overestimating if I said I had 20g of mince in my spaghetti bolognaise."
