Zizzi Marlow reopens after renovation

The Marlow branch of Zizzi has reopened with a brand-new look.

Located on the high street, Zizzi has been transformed with original artwork from illustrator Brianna Chartrand, who was inspired by both local history and traditions and Zizzi’s Italian heritage.

One wall celebrates Marlow’s Olympic legacy and local hero, Sir Steve Redgrave, through a combination of illustrations and mounted rowing oars and pizza paddles. Another is dedicated to the town’s historic local tradition of Swan Upping and conservation of Mute Swans, a species also native to Northern Italy.

In the heart of the restaurant sits a life-size yellow tree and foliage, enhanced by new lighting, furniture, décor and signature Tuscan touches.

With a revised layout, plus the additional seats in the garden courtyard, the restaurant now has a capacity for126 guests.

Summer flavours

The restaurant has reopened in time for guests to enjoy the Standout Summer menu. It includes dishes such as the Diavoletta Bombe, a new and spicy take on Zizzi’s iconic garlic bombe, filled with a fiery Alla Vodka sauce, Roquito chillies and gooey mozzarella; and King Prawn Vongole, a fresh Mafaldine pasta dish with king prawns and clams in a wild garlic, lemon, caper and parsley butter sauce.

For dessert, the Dragon Fruit & Wild Strawberry Sundae is available, featuring a combination of dragon fruit sorbet, panna cotta and wild strawberry gelato, topped with pink meringue; while the Caramello Sundae combines salted caramel and vanilla gelato with honeycomb cheesecake, caramel sauce and a stroopwafel.

Zizzi Marlow’s general manager, Mike Small, comments: “We absolutely love the new look and feel of the restaurant and have some delicious new summer dishes on the menu too. We can’t wait to welcome in the people of Marlow and beyond to see what we’ve done with the place!”
