Christmas is all about food, flavour, and spending time with loved ones, so why skip out on starters? Treat yourself to the Festive Bombe, a deliciously Christmassy meatball that combines all your festive favourites. With chestnut, cranberry, crumbled pork, prosciutto, and sage, finished off with hot honey, this starter sets the tone for a very merry meal.
Or opt for their tempting Black Truffle Arancini. These crispy risotto balls are served with hot, cheesy fondue for dipping and are designed to look just like real truffles. If a couple of their starters tempt you, why not order them all and share with your loved ones? It is the giving season, after all.
When it comes to unwrapping your Christmas presents, do you open up the small delights first or go straight for the showstopper? Let’s talk about the main event, shall we?
Zizzi’s ‘Signature Dishes’ menu now includes the tempting Porcini & Prosciutto Roast Chicken. Stuffed with
Taleggio and cranberries, and served with a selection of winter greens, butternut squash, potatoes, and porcini mushroom sauce.
This chain restaurant’s menu wouldn’t be complete, of course, without a fair share of Italian classics, like pizza and pasta dishes. If a doughy base and endless toppings are on your wishlist this year, you’re in luck. Zizzi is serving up two must-try festive Rustica pizzas, including the ‘Crust-Mas Rustica,’ with cranberry and chestnut pork stuffing, as well as the ‘Roasties Rustica’ - a veggie option topped with festive roasted potatoes, cranberries, sage, and more!
But if you’re typically drawn to the pasta menu, you might prefer the sound of Zizzi’s ‘Christmas Catch.’ This dish features oven-baked giant pasta shells filled with lobster, prawn, mascarpone, lemon, and white wine, covered in a mouthwatering Pomodoro sauce. Fancy some parmesan? Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Just like Christmas, you probably never want your meal to end! Well, with Zizzi’s Christmas menu, it doesn’t have to, because what’s a Christmas menu without a sweet treat to finish with?
Tuck into their tempting ‘Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding,’ a Christmas-spiced bread and butter served with a refreshing gelato. Or, if you’d prefer, order their ‘Christmas Bomboloni,’ a mini Biscoff doughnut dish, with orange and cinnamon sugar and salted caramel sauce.
If you want our advice, order both with a friend and get a taste of both desserts. It is the giving season after all, so share!
