After University a group of me and my friends popped over to zizzis to grab a bite to eat. Martin served us, and was amazingly helpful and considerate from the moment we walked in the door. From being kind, to offering snacks on the house whilst we wait, and bringing over a takeaway box for left over food before we even asked, the service was brilliant from the start to finish, let alone the yummy food that came with!

We had a really lovely experience at Zizzi Gunwharf. It’s a great venue with a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere and a fantastic choice of dishes on the menu.
The food was flavoursome, tasty and really well presented. Everything we had was delicious, and we felt it was great food and good value for money.
The service was fast and efficient, and Darina, our server, was particularly pleasant, friendly and helpful throughout our visit.
We’d also recommend joining the Zillionaire’s Club, as there are some great deals and offers available. Overall, we’d highly recommend Zizzi Gunwharf if you’re stopping in Gunwharf Quays and would happily visit again!

My family and I just had a late lunch at Zizzi’s Portsmouth. We were served by a lovely lady called Darina. She also suggested to download to Zizzi app to get the offers the company offers
Service was excellent and efficient. During the meal Darina checked on us several times. The food was amazing too, everything was fresh and delicious. The waiting times between courses were minimal.
Definitely worth it. We will come back soon

We visited before our late night ferry crossing. Four adults, a toddler and a weaning baby. The baby had a newly discovered allergy and so we were a little worried but the team were fantastically diligent. The food was great and service prompt. Nothing was too much trouble. Darina was very friendly and funny! She was wonderful with the children (and the oldies!)
Thank you we will be back!
