About Zizzi - Portsmouth
Overlooking the waterfront in Portsmouth, Zizzi is an Italian restaurant on PO1 3TA serving pizza and pasta from a varied menu that includes a 3-course set menu, a kids' menu and gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options. The room is spread across two floors and takes table bookings and walk-ins, with table service at lunch and dinner. Dogs are welcome inside, and a braille menu sits alongside the standard one. A children's menu keeps younger visitors fed, and the kitchen covers both classic and plant-based Italian dishes.

Customer Review Summary
Diners single out the food and the attentive front-of-house team as the main draws at this Portsmouth Zizzi, with several naming the 3-course set menu and the salmon risotto as standouts. Service earns repeated praise, with multiple reviewers describing their server as friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to keep things moving, and one noting how well a server handled a family with children. Value also comes through, particularly on the set menu and kids' meals. One reviewer, however, reports the toilets were worn, dirty, and in need of a deep clean during their visit, calling them disgraceful for a restaurant. A few suggest it is a reliable return visit, with repeat customers describing the consistent standard across multiple trips.

“Everything was great either way one exception. Toilets are disgraceful. I would expect toilets in a restaurant to be immaculate. They were worn, dirty and in need of a deep clean and decoration.”
