Zizzi Mermaids Quay - Cardiff

Astonishing family dinner all the staff cared for each at the table and eating was in place, and so were the desserts and coffee. the children loved it.

Nice meal with friends in a lovely waterfront setting. Service from the waiter who took our order and waitress who took drinks order was friendly and efficient but greeting on arrival was poor as I was told they could not find my booking. When I said I had booked through Opentable he seemed displeased and said bookings often didn't come through but we were just lucky he had a table free! Not a good start but once we were seated we had good service and a good meal.

Really basic. Cocktails were not nice and presented really poorly. Food tasted like they were ready meals warmed up. Never will go again. Prezzo is so much nicer.

Amazing family meal all the staff looked after everyone at the table and food was spot on... and so were the desserts and coffee... the children loved it.

We were looking for a quick meal near the Millennium Centre before the opera, and Italian cuisine seemed like a good choice. The restaurant is spacious and bright, and during the early evening, it's a popular spot for young families. Since we were aware of our time constraint, we opted for pasta, and our waitress kindly reminded us that we needed to eat quickly. Our meals—Pasta della Casa and Crab Cannelloni—arrived promptly and were both delightful. The house pasta, which featured baked cassareccia, roasted chicken, pancetta, baby spinach, and a creamy sauce topped with Reggiano cheese, was rich and satisfying. The cannelloni turned out to be a lighter yet equally delicious option. While Zizzi isn’t a fine dining establishment, it’s perfect for a quick bite or a casual meal. Plus, it offers stunning views of Cardiff Bay, and its proximity to the Millennium Centre makes it an ideal spot for a pre-show dinner.
