Zizzi - St Albans is an Italian gem nestled in the heart of St Albans. With a rich menu brimming with unique flavors, diners rave about the standout dishes like the salmon and pesto risotto, Rustica Pizza, and Casareccia Pollo Piccante. The warm and inviting atmosphere is complemented by attentive staff, particularly renowned server Nicole, who leaves a lasting impression with her friendly demeanor.

Guests have highlighted the vibrant energy of the restaurant, perfect for both family dinners and casual meals with friends. One family noted how the staff made their kids feel welcome, providing coloring sheets to keep them entertained while enjoying generous portions of delicious food. The tiramisu, an absolute favorite, is often described as a must-try dessert that perfectly rounds off the dining experience.

While some diners found the price slightly steep, they swiftly agreed that the culinary quality justifies the cost. However, a few visitors suggested improvements in cleanliness, particularly in the restrooms, to elevate the overall experience. Regardless, Zizzi - St Albans continues to impress with its delightful offerings and welcoming service, making it a top recommendation for anyone seeking authentic Italian cuisine in a friendly setting.

The food here is absolutely amazing, unique and flavorful. I enjoyed the salmon and pesto risotto followed by an absolutely gorgeous tiramisu (pardon my spelling ), at first I thought a little pricy but when I tasted the food it was absolutely worth the pricing! Along side my meal I had the passion fruit mocktail and it was absolutely fantastic, I ended up only having two though as one costs roughly 5!! Only slightly odd thing I found was the waitresses spoke about ordering online through our phones: whilst the concept does have me scratching my head over the use it did make things a lot faster which was great, especially since I was hungry. In my opinion it does take away a little bit from the experience however regardless the staff were still brilliant and regularly checked up on the table and were quick to clear our plates. In terms of atmosphere there are no complaints! Only thing I'd suggest is giving the bathroom a good clean!

Had a fantastic meal at Zizzi! The food was delicious, especially the Rustica Pizza and Casareccia Pollo Piccante. The highlight was Nicole—so warm, welcoming, and attentive. Her great service made the experience even better. A wonderful spot for tasty Italian food with a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Had a great meal at Zizzi! The starters were spot on. We had the sticky pig pizza the wagyu royale pizza and both of them are so good. The atmosphere was lovely, and the service was just as good. A big shoutout to Nicole, who was so friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed.

We visited Zizzi for a family dinner and had such a wonderful time! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially with our kids. They were patient, cheerful, and even brought out some crayons and coloring sheets to keep the little ones entertained. The food was fantastic — generous portions, plenty of kid-friendly options, and everything came out hot and fresh. Our children loved their pasta, and the adults enjoyed a delicious variety of dishes too. The atmosphere was lively but not too loud, making it a great spot for families. It felt relaxed and comfortable, and we never felt rushed. Zizzi really hit the mark — we’ll definitely be back!

Came in very spur of the moment, got myself a salad. Have to say food was pretty good, actual atmosphere had a nice and spacious feel. Service however was exceptional. My server was called Beth and she was chatty and outgoing. Really made my day. Overall solid choice. Would come again.

Our waiter had great recommendations and checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxed. Highly recommend Zizzi for not just the tasty food but especially for the warm and friendly service that truly sets it apart!
