They are not pet friendly. We had our dog with us and wanted to go to garden on the backside. We are used to see those pet unfriendly places but this should not be the case when it is outside. We come here very often but today will be our last dinner even though we love the taste.

Although we were supposed to sit outside, they said that they do not accept dogs! When I showed my dog's ESA card they bearly accepted us. I would not enter if I didn't have guests with me. What kind of place does not accept dogs? Especially outside!!! Why? I would not come again despite food being lovely.

Went to Zizzi in Canterbury today and had their '2 for £25' lunch. This was excellent value. We had a large pizza, garlic bread and a side salad to share and a soft drink each. There were also nibbles whilst we were waiting and a small hot chocolate at the end. Service was excellent and we sat in a beautiful, tree lined courtyard. A fabulous experience. Thank you Stuart

Das Essen war nicht gut, die Bedienung war unfreundlich, das Klo war ekelhaft. Aber Malte sagt die Pizza war oke, außer der Rand. Der Mülleiner ist besser als das Klo geeignet. Ein großes Geschäft zu verrichten geht nicht auf dem Männerklo. Das einzig gute war, das die Bedienung kein Trinkgeld annimmt. Wenn Sie einen Flammkuchen wollen, bestellen Sie eine Pizza

The waitstaff (Ala) welcomed us very warmly and cheerfully. We wanted to watch the Netherlands vs. Japan match and therefore only had half an hour; the food was on the table before we knew it, and Ala was incredibly friendly, helpful, and cheerful. The food was delicious, and we were finished in time for the match (unfortunately, the final score was 2-2). We regretted not having time for an appetizer or dessert. Warm regards from the Netherlands!
