Zizzi Edinburgh Roxburgh Court

Descend the beautiful stone steps and admire the stunning architecture Edinburgh has to offer when you visit this Zizzi Italian restaurant. Part of the Azzuri group, this restaurant specialises in casual Italian dining, so the menu features all the dishes you’d expect from a chain Italian restaurant. You’ll also find some exciting and different dishes that give this restaurant a fun edge.

On the menu, expect to find fun starters such as the rainbow gnocchi filled with mozzarella, arancini risotto balls and wild boar polpette. Onto mains, you can go for perhaps the most spectacular dish on the menu: the spiedini pollo – a hanging skewer of chicken and veg above a plate of herby potatoes and salad. A vertical plate may not be the first thing that pops into mind when you think of Zizzi’s, however it will definitely add something different to your meal.

When it comes to dessert, the selection doesn’t disappoint either. Try the Prosecco panna cotta if you want something light but naughty. If you plan on going all out, the chocolate and banana calzone is a sweet take on the savoury dish. The chocolate melt with gelato also fits the bill when it comes to indulgence.

To finish off your meal, accompany it with a glass of Italian wine or a cocktail from the drinks menu. Try the raspberry and prosecco mojito or the garden G&T for a twist on everyone’s favourite drinks.

All located in the picturesque city of Edinburgh, the location of this restaurant really gives you a feel of what the city is actually like, and it’s close to the centre too, so you can go and discover what all the fuss is about for yourself. Open for lunch and dinner, and catering to kids as well as a number of dietary requirements, Zizzi is a great place to take the whole family.
