Zizzi, Leeds

Went here yesterday. Was v busy! The space is very interesting - not your average Italian restaurant. Compared to the one in York, it's very bright and modern.

There is a large focus on nature; the stools appear as to be moss, and the beech trees in the corner near the kitchen add to this, and the partition running down the middle of the space represent trees too. The designer probably wanted to link the restaurant with the name of where is it situated in Leeds - 'The Light".

The kitchen and chefs are also very central to the space, creating the idea that everything is handmade and good for you. Also the quick pace of the working chefs create an upbeat tempo environment, which gives off positivity and happening, making the restaurant new and exciting.
