As Autumn brings new change, Zizzi is entering its standout season, with a brand-new food and drink menu, which includes an all-fresh pasta menu available across its 132 restaurants across England, Scotland and Wales.

The centrepiece of Zizzi’s fresh era is a brand-new fresh pasta menu, with sauces cooked to order and new fresh pasta shapes, including Chitarra (square spaghetti), Mafaldine (ruffled ribbons), and Casareccia (short twists). Championing standout quality, the fresh pasta menu is made with free-range eggs and British flour. New pasta dishes include Truffle Cacio E Pepe, Meatballs Alla Vodka and Pesto Verde Burrata.

Zizzi favourites are also getting a pasta makeover, with the Pomodoro, Chorizo Carbonara and Bolognese Classico all being made with the new Chitarra spaghetti.

Enjoying fresh pasta isn’t always a clean affair, so Zizzi is encouraging its guests to embrace the mess of twirling, slurping and wearing it, by sharing their Fresh Pasta Face to be in with the chance of winning free fresh pasta for a whole year. One diner from each of Zizzi’s 132 restaurants in England, Scotland and Wales with the best Fresh Pasta Face will win one free pasta dish a week for one calendar year.

To be in with the chance of winning, fresh pasta lovers should:
1. Visit a Zizzi restaurant and order their favourite pasta dish or order it via Zizzi’s Click & Collect or with one of their delivery partners (e.g. Uber or Deliveroo)

2. Devour their pasta and snap a pic of their Fresh Pasta Face

3. Post the photo to their Instagram grid, tagging @WeAreZizzi, using the hashtag #FreshPastaFace, and tagging the Zizzi location (e.g., #ZizziAberdeen).

Diners have until the end of 2025 to enter before a panel of judges will crown the best Fresh Pasta Faces. For more information, the full terms and conditions or for Fresh Pasta Face examples, go to www.zizzi.co.uk/freshpastaface

Sweetening up the dessert and drinks menus, Zizzi is introducing a new Candy Floss Dolce dessert, with wild strawberry gelato, dragon fruit sorbet, pink meringue and whipped cream, topped with freshly spun candy floss, and a new Wild Strawberry Daiquiri, also finished with candy floss, thanks to the brand-new candy floss machines being installed in all restaurants.

Zizzi has also launched a brand-new app for Zillionaires, members of their loyalty club, which allows guests to book tables at their nearest Zizzi restaurant and collect points to spend on future rewards. From today until Friday 28thNovember Zillionaires can snag 30% off food, giving them the chance to share and sample more of the new menu.

When dining at Zizzi, guests will be fully immersed in the new era, as Zizzi has been steadily renovating their restaurants, with updated restaurants featuring vibrant, original murals created by independent artists, a life-size yellow-orange tree and Tuscan tiles and plates.

Zizzi will be serving the menu with vibrant new tableware featuring colourful splatter bowls and plates, fruit-shaped dishes, elegant glassware and stylish teapots and cups, bringing even more personality to the Zizzi dining experience.

Corinne Prior, Brand and Customer Experience Director at Zizzi, said: “Our autumn menu marks an exciting new chapter for Zizzi. We’re making everything more playful - from the new menu and desserts to our colourful plates and app. Guests will find the same Zizzi they love, but brighter, bolder and fuller of life than ever before. There’s never been a better time to visit your local Zizzi and snap your Fresh Pasta Face.”
