Zizzi has relocated a few doors down to 5 George Street in the former Ask Italian premises and completed a two-week renovation.

Zizzi has relocated in Oxford to 5 George Street, having moved a few doors down from its previous space into the former Ask Italian premises across from the New Theatre. The restaurant completed a two-week renovation and now features Oxford-inspired décor throughout, with murals covering the walls depicting local landmarks, characters and imagery from Alice in Wonderland, a story born in the city.

The redesigned space is bright and open upstairs with a well-stocked bar, complemented by a second seating area with a cosier bar downstairs. The exterior features a chequered canopy trimmed with softly glowing festoon lights. Staff were noted as friendly, polite and attentive on a recent Thursday evening visit, when the establishment was busy with an upbeat family atmosphere.

The menu offers classic Italian fare. Starters include a five-cheese fondue called Fonduta Fromaggi served with dough sticks for dipping, and the Ravioli di Capra, a spinach and goat's cheese pasta with pomodoro sauce and pesto.
