•It feels like we’ve been stuck in winter forever, doesn’t it? But there’s a definite feeling that warmer, longer days are just around the corner. While the weather might not have got the memo just yet, there's another way to get that sunny feeling a bit early. A great meal can feel like a mini-holiday, and thankfully, Zizzi is ready to help everyone turn up the heat. The popular Italian restaurant has just launched a brand-new spring and summer menu, and it’s packed with fresh ingredients and vibrant dishes designed to get everyone in the mood for the brighter seasons ahead. With over 15 new dishes making their debut, this new menu is a celebration of everything people love about spring and summer food.






A sneak peek at the new menu
There's always a bit of a buzz when a restaurant launches a new menu, and this one from Zizzi has plenty to get excited about. The chefs have clearly been busy thinking up some amazing new dishes. Among the highlights are a bunch of seasonal specials that sound seriously tasty. Imagine trying the new Hot Honey Pork Belly or the Crab & Lemon Arancini; little crispy balls of rice with a lovely, zesty lemon kick. For those who love a classic with a twist, the Chicken Milanese Fonduta takes a crispy chicken dish and adds a rich, cheesy sauce for dipping. And of course, it wouldn’t be Zizzi without a standout pizza. The new Quattro Pomodoro Rustica Pizza is a proper celebration of the humble tomato, proving that simple, quality ingredients make the best food. These dishes are the perfect way to get an early taste of summer.
Fresh flavours and vibrant pasta
As the days get warmer, people often start craving lighter food, and the new menu has that covered. Zizzi has introduced a whole new range of seasonal salads that are a meal in themselves. It’s not just a bit of lettuce on the side; these are proper, satisfying salads. Here’s what’s on offer:
Chicken Caesar Salad: A true classic for a reason, done the Zizzi way. This chicken salad is a reliable favourite.
Salmon & Heritage Tomato Salad: A light, healthy, and colourful dish packed with flavour.
Butter Bean Salad: A brilliant vegan option that’s hearty and full of delicious ingredients.
But what about the pasta? Don’t worry, there are some fantastic new pasta dishes, too. The new Pesto Rosso combines casareccia pasta with a creamy red pesto and mascarpone sauce, topped with spicy chicken breast for an extra kick. For those who love something a bit more indulgent, there’s a new sharing version of the Truffle Carbonara. It’s a decadent bowl of mafaldine pasta smothered in a four-cheese, black pepper, and truffle sauce, with crispy prosciutto and pancetta. It’s the kind of dish that’s perfect for sharing with a friend while having a good old catch-up. This new menu really does have some amazing food choices.
Turning up the heat with tropical tastes
A summer menu isn’t complete without some drinks that make you think of sunshine and holidays. Zizzi is ready to help diners turn up the heat with some amazing new cocktails. For a proper taste of the tropics, the Sunset Mango Margarita is a must-try. It blends tequila with sweet mango, zesty orange, lemon, and Persian lime, all served with a smoked paprika salt rim. If you fancy the flavour without the alcohol, there's a Mango & Lime Cooler which mixes mango, orange, and lemon with soda for a refreshing fizz. These tropical cocktails are a perfect match for the new food. And for dessert? The Tropical Pina Colada Sundae sounds like a dream. It’s a scoop of coconut & lime gelato with vanilla gelato, whipped cream, pineapple puree, and pink meringue. It's the kind of dessert that ends a meal on a real high note, full of mango and lime goodness.
Good news for vegan food fans
Sometimes, finding exciting vegan options can be tricky, but Zizzi has made sure there are some brilliant new additions on this menu. Following loads of requests from customers, the much-loved Vegan Rainbow Lasagne is back. This isn’t your average lasagne; it’s a colourful creation made with layers of butternut squash, spinach, and beetroot, all cooked in slow-cooked tomato sauces with a delicious Genovese pesto. It’s a fantastic vegan dish that’s packed with flavour. But the good news for vegan food lovers doesn’t stop there. There’s also a brand-new dessert: the Raspberry Collins Cheesecake. This vegan cheesecake has layers of raspberry and gin flavour, served with a scoop of strawberry sorbet. It’s proof that a vegan menu can be just as creative and delicious.
How to get an early taste of summer
The best part about this whole new menu launch? You can try it all with a very nice discount.
