Zizzi Paddington Central is an Italian restaurant at 17 Sheldon Square, beside the canal in Paddington Basin. The waterside setting and outdoor tables give the branch a relaxed character, while its position near Paddington station makes it useful for local lunches, family meals and dinner before or after a journey.
Pizza and pasta form the centre of the menu. Hand stretched pizzas range from familiar combinations to the restaurant's own toppings, while pasta dishes cover tomato based sauces, creamy recipes and baked choices. Calzone and risotto add variety for diners who want something beyond the two principal sections.
Starters and sharing dishes include garlic bread, olives and antipasti, with salads and lighter plates offering alternatives to a full pizza or pasta course. Vegetarian and vegan choices are marked across the menu, allowing mixed groups to order from several sections rather than relying on one substitute dish.
Desserts, coffee, wine, beer and cocktails round out the experience, and the broad all day format suits anything from a quick meal to a longer waterside dinner. The atmosphere is informal and contemporary, with the canal location providing a quieter counterpoint to the nearby transport hub.
Address: 17 Sheldon Square, Paddington, London W2 6EP, England
