Chimichanga Braintree

I was very impressed by our waitress (Molly) she was attentive and bubbly, the food and the cocktails were great!! The kids wife, we’re very happy. Great team effort. Well done. Keep it up

This restaurant is a literal dive, we had four meals, a sea bass which was like cardboard, overcooked very small and tasteless, combined with fried that were inedible this meal atrocious. We also had vegan ragù, this was a lentil disaster, the pasta resembled something that I can only describe as mash with a ‘sauce’ that had no identity at all, you couldn’t even pick out a single flavour. Yet another, disappointment from Zizzi. None the less at least we played it safe with a pizza, Right? Wrong. The sticky pig pizza was quite literally fit for pigs, the base was burnt and the pork toppings were rancid. The highlight of the mains was the spaghetti bolognese which actually had flavour and was edible, could I have made something a million times better at home for less, without a shadow of a doubt. But at least this was edible, right? I will however say that the starters were quite nice with the bruschetta not quite resembling anything Italian but was still nice and the caprese salad was also good. This was the highlight of our meal by far. The drinks were disgusting with the cocktails being more like shocktails, if there was even a single millilitre of rum in the pineapple cooler I would be stunned, the raspberry mojito had a bit of a kick but didn’t really have much in the way of a desire to consume. The general hygiene of the restaurant was poor with flies swarming the restaurant not a fly zapper in sight, the waitress leaning over our meals to grate Parmesan cheese with added hair to our spaghetti bolognese, the chefs with their chunic half open and the kitchen looking generally grubby. The aesthetic of the restaurant more resembled a Caribbean than an Italian, the chairs were extremely uncomfortable and the booths were comparable to sitting on a pallet. Overall I would strongly recommend that you avoid this restaurant with a wide birth. A McDonald’s would have been a better choice than this muck.

I wouldn't reorder. We were shopping and my daughter, who is pregnant, asked us to eat pizza. They took the order quickly, but we waited for pizza for almost an hour. Leaving a pregnant woman waiting is not professional. They served other tables. Yes, we are not English and we don't speak perfect english. Don't go there. Unfriendly staff.

Very good service, had the antipasto garlic bread special starter which was epic. The herb crusted rolled pork belly with very good as well. They cater very well for people that are gluten free.

Food and service was lovely.......but......... Really didn 't like the fact that over £26 was included in the final bill as an optional team tip. Hardly optional if it 's included in the final bill amount. Won 't be going back due to this underhanded tactic.
