So Emma's birthday came along and what a way to celebrate it with a loverly meal with the girls at the gorgeous Zizzi in Cresswell lane just off Byres road. Being a tastecard holder myself (get it online guys) we were able to get a MASSIVE 50% off the banquet which was just special to me in ways I could really not express! first catching my eye when exploring our most loved lane in Glasgow with ooor loverly Emma our first glimpse was that of a beautiful glint shining out onto the cobbles of the lane, a gem that looked sliced and inserted into the brick based building surrounding it. Peering inside I loved what I saw immediately which was a blank canvas filled in partly with dashes of colourful furniture and artistic drawings that were all inspired by the Glasgow School Of Art. There were skylights flooding the inside with natural light but the cosiness of the place was not compromised, so the quirky Italian bistro, felt up market, cosmopolitan and trendy, yet comforting and homely, like coming home to an Italian mamas kitchen.
The menu itself had our mouths watering very quickly with offers of olives, dough balls and an Italian bread boards for starters and pastas, calzones and rissotos for mains. With real Gelato or almond fig tarts and torta cioccolata for pudding there were gasps of oohs and aaahs around the table as we sieved through the menu inch per inch.
We chose a fiorentina pizza. Each. Thankgod for the expandable waist band on my skirt as it could of got embarrassing! all in all it was well worth driving through 8 pot holes barely scraping by on petrol and rushing to make the time that I BOOKED THE BLOOMIN TABLE FOR in the first place!
Go check it out you cosmopolitan folk you!
