Zizzi Regent Street

On Regent Street in the heart of Cambridge, Zizzi brings a relaxed taste of modern Italian dining to the city centre. Cosy and convivial indoors, it's also got a picturesque balcony overlooking Parker’s Piece, making it an inviting spot for al fresco dining when the sun's shining.

The menu puts a playful spin on Italian favourites, starting with nibbles like smoked-paprika pasta crisps with Calabrese dip and a bowl of queen olives, Nocellara and purple Kalamata. For something more substantial, harissa king prawn spiedini and a molten garlic and mozzarella bombe - finished with a touch of hot honey - bring pure indulgence to the table.

Crisp Rustica pizzas pair classic Italian flavours with bolder toppings, from chilli-kissed venison pepperoni to a vegan Margherita. If you fancy something hearty, folded calzones like the carne piccante hit the spot, alongside comforting al forno dishes such as rich beef and cheese lasagne or pollo della casa. There's also a vibrant selection of lighter salads and sides to mix things up.

Be sure to save room for dessert, where gooey chocolate chip cookie dough and raspberry Collins cheesecake lead the sweet lineup. You can round things off with a refreshing limoncello spritz or an espresso for the perfect finish.

With thoughtful options for every dietary preference, everyone can settle in and enjoy. Come for the Italian food, stay for the Parker’s Piece views, and make your next Cambridge catch-up one to remember!
