Zizzi Leith

The great thing about a chain like Zizzi is the firm knowledge that your hankering for some traditional comfort Italian food is safely in the hands of the pros. The restaurant serves delicious authentic Italian food at reasonable prices, in a warm and friendly environment. Another of this restaurant brand's talents is converting listed buildings and housing their restaurants in them. This has helped the group maintain standards, but allows each location to keep its innate charm. Done up in light colours, wooden floors and gleaming cutlery, Zizzi boasts of a bustling open kitchen which churns out freshly prepared, tasty fare. Situated in the Ocean Terminal shopping centre, the Leith branch is particularly convenient for pre-flicks pizzas and post-retail-therapy pasta. The extensive menu offers four distinct sections of antipasti, salads, mains, including pasta, pizza and risottos and desserts, with extensive choices under each head. With opening hours from brunchtime through to late evening, it's a given that Zizzi can be counted upon to pick you up with a big ol' bowl of Italian goodness at most hours of the day.
