Zizzi - Bath

You'll find this reliable Italian chain tucked into the SouthGate shopping centre, which might sound uninspiring but actually works brilliantly after a day browsing Bath's shops. The space is modern and bright, with that familiar Zizzi warmth that makes it feel more special than your average mall restaurant. The menu hits all the right notes - proper wood-fired pizzas with crispy bases, creamy risottos, and pasta dishes that won't disappoint. Their king prawn linguine is particularly good, and the children's menu keeps families happy. Staff actually seem to care about your meal, which makes all the difference when you're dealing with tired shoppers and hungry tourists.
