Zizzi, Henley-on-Thames

Housed in a 17th-century coach house, this Italian restaurant is part of a large chain with more than 100 locations throughout the United Kingdom. This branch is divided into three parts: a first-floor bar, an upstairs dining room, and an outdoor terrace open during warmer months. Designed in a minimalist style, the interior has red-brick walls, exposed ceiling beams, and polished-wood tables illuminated by simple white globe lights. The classic Italian menu includes pastas and pizzas, as well as sharable cichetti (Venetian small plates), such as the zucca al forno (oven-baked butternut squash with goat cheese, roasted garlic, and mint).
