Think the standard Italian restaurant experience could do with a new spin on things? Zizzi has everything you’ve been wanting and more. With the amount of Italian restaurants in London, Zizzi is the ideal option for a restaurant that offers something a little different to what they may be offering.
Zizzi brings all of the flavours you’ve come to know and love from Italian cuisine, but also offers a new spin on old favourites for those who feel they’ve already done the Italian experience. Those after something different will find some new, tastebud-tantalising flavours in their hot-smoked salmon carbonara, calzone carne piccante and unusually delightful pasta crisps. When looking for the best places to eat in central London, we couldn’t recommend Zizzi more.
Greek cuisine is full of tantalising flavours and as a result, is a popular choice with locals and tourists alike. If you’re a Greek expert or are yet to indulge in the world of flavours that Greek cuisine offers, you will nevertheless love The Life Goddess.

Conveniently, it’s only a short while away from world-famous attractions such as 10 Downing Street and Hyde Park.
