We were very disappointed in Zizzis. We normally go to Bella Italia but thought we would give Zizzis a try. We waited far too long for drinks, for food (which was average at best) and, even though we allowed plenty of time, we did not have time for dessert. The problem appeared to be very few staff. the waiter who served us made a big fuss about the fact that we would have to wait ages for a pizza or a pasta dish because we were gluten intolerant. No other restaurant we have visited has made us feel that it is so much bother to cook gluten free. As I said, food was average at best and £37 for a plate of risotto, a skewer full of vegs and a couple of chunks of chicken and two glasses of wine...
We arrived to find that there was no record of our reservation, even tho we had received an email from the restaurant thanking us for our booking just two days earlier. No worry, there was a table free. Service was friendly but very overworked and undertrained, we practically had to jump up and down to get attention. Our drinks order sat on the bar for 10 minutes before it got to us. Food was served cold after a long wait, meaning we had no time for desert.
Great food and everything, but we were seated too near the entrance on a cold evening, and shivered every time the door was opened (including many people arriving without bookings and being turned away). The management needs to close the outer doors and to fit some heaters over the inner doors.
Everyone was there pre theatre so staff did an excellent job team work to ensure we were served and in our seats on time. The waiting team were efficient helpful and positive and kept us updated always book Zizzi pre theatre and never disappointed

It took a long time to get served, but in the end it we get our meal with time before the going to the theatre. It's very convenient for Milton Keynes Theatre.
We have been here before and each time it was a pre-theatre dinner. The service was very slow on each time and we had to leave before coffee.
Food was bland, not particularly hot and service was slow. Didn't deliver what we ordered, and had to ask for a replacement for my main dish.
Friendly and accommodating staff. Food clearly microwaved. Good location for theatre but wouldn't rush back as meal was forgettable.
