Zizzi - Solihull 10 Poplar Road, Solihull B91 3AB

"Dreadful. We came 6 months ago and the service was so bad we negotiated a bill that was sort of acceptable but we would rather have had good food and service so we thought we would give them the benefit of the doubt again. What a mistake. Service, food, toilets, a disgrace. If the owners think this kind of restaurant is acceptable, well, I’d suggest you have a meal out at one of the local competitors and see where your customers are going. Very happy to talk to senior management if they are interested."

"Nice restaurant and friendly staff but service was a little slow.. that said it was a Friday afternoon and the day before NYE.. we only saw three waiters & two kitchen staff covering 50+ guests?! Food was nice & kids pizzas were huge, although the 'green risotto' portion size was very small.. more of a starter than a main so wouldn't bother ordering this again!"

"Lovely decor inside but floor very slippery, food was " different " - nice but a bit bland for me, not much spices in it. Very nice cocktails"

"Arrived here late Friday after long day and drive.. staff were welcoming. We had a blip with my order, however everyone was so lovely in getting my food right that they deserve every star. Not every team will treat you well if there's a problem...but here the staff were top! Would definitely come again!"

"Overall a great experience with a bit of room for improvements! Tonight we chose a set menu of a 3 course meal which cost around £24 per person. This deal itself was a huge bargain considering the usual prices so we were extremely happy to have found this deal!! Sadly however I found there wasnt a lot of variation on this set menu, and as a pasta lover my only tomato pasta option was lasagne! When putting through my order we were told to use the speedy order through the app however this did not work so after spending time sorting our meals we then had to change this. Instead the server took my phone(with my permission) and copied the order through to the kitchen however despite my order being wrote down for her to see she still put through a smaller beer and the normal lasagne (even though we wanted to pay extra for the all out lasagne). The drink was not a problem and she immediately sorted this for us! The overall service was satisfactory however compared to other times that I have visited, today was slower service than usual! To shorten my review I will give a quick summary of each meal: Bruscetta- Super light and tasty however I would have liked a little less Garnish and some more onions. I still Highly recommend this dish as it was a light starter that sets your tastebuds up for an adventure of flavours! Chilli Garlic Bread- Everything you want from a garlic bread however my spice loving partner would have liked a bit more of a kick from the chilli, as it was rather lightly spiced! Lasagne- Decent portion however if like my partner you prefer a more meaty lasagne then this lasagne will not be for you. With a great mix of cheeses and six layers of lasagne you cannot go wrong!! Chicken Calabrese- The cheese on this was a little too harsh for me but thats purely my own preference so I wouldnt let this affect your opinion on this meal! The meal itself was super filling and larger than it appears!! The chicken is super juicy and tender with such amazing flavours! Hidden underneath the chicken are multiple layers potatoes, which are incredible with this sauce! Such a delicious meal!! SeaSalt Fries- Described as sea salted fries however there was hardly any salt at all! Instead there was an intense rosemary flavour (which was perfect for my partner as he loves rosemary) but I werent too fond as Im not a fan of Rosemary. The cook on these fries however was perfect!! Fluffy inside with a crispy coating, just yummy!! Passion Fruit Cheesecake- This was my partners dish so I will be speaking his words (he is a trained chef). As a lover of passion fruit I was super excited for this but sadly it was too sweet! The passion fruit gel on top was super sweet and then to accompany this dish was more sweet passion fruit coole. This dish was a little bit of a let down however something to cut through that sweetness would take this dessert to the next level. Choc-Banana Brownie Sundae- I personally love bananas and love brownies so I was super excited for this dessert however again I was a little dissapointed. The bananas werent ripe and I could taste this throughout. The banana brownies were questionable in flavour and the chocolate ice cream was super rich. I felt the flavours were all super rich and I think a biscuit or crumb would take this to the next level! Overall a great experience and I highly recommend a visit. The desserts were a let down but the main event has been and still was incredible."
