The food was absolutely delicious but our favourite part of the visit was being served by Daniil, he was such an attentive and friendly server, he engaged with our toddler and laughed and joked with us whilst grating parmesan on the sons pizza which made him giggle We will definitely be visiting again soon
We booked a table for three at 7pm midweek, and chose the option of outside. We booked by phone direct, which was easier then online. We were able to use a taste card to get 2 for 1. We arrived on time and were given a choice of table under cover or on the pavement. We chose on in the shade. They were very attentive bringing water and taking a drinks order, we took a while to order staters and mains from a wide choice from salad with meat, fish or veg. and a wide range of pizza and pasta. Food came in a reasonable time. They were reasonable generous portions. My pork meatballs were piping hot in a cast iron dish. Our meal was not rushed. They were attentive and readily refilled the water jug. We were given the sweet menu. Again there was a wide choice from gateux and cheesecake to glacier and a variety of flavours of toppings, We had chosen to park on the road nearby, in little park street about 5 minutes walk away. There was an hourly charge we paid £5 for two hours.there are regular warden patrols so we skipped the option of coffee and were switly brough the bill and paid at our table. It felt safe that time of night with a fair number of people about, many taking advantage of a very warm evening.
Just had the best Gluten Free pizza and it was the same size as the main menu! I was on my own on this occasion and I was very well looked after by Amelia and Luka, Highly recommend
We were served by Trisha, and she was really welcoming. She was able to suggest meals that she thought we would like based on our preferences. When the food arrived we weren't disappointed.
Probably one of the most pleasant experiences I've had in a restaurant. We were served by Demi who excelled in customer service. We will visit again as the food was outstanding. Thank you all at Coventry Zizzi.
