For Italian food in Stratford, make sure to check out Zizzi. Found in Westfield, this snazzy restaurant is as cool as they come, fronting abstract wall art, glowing pendant lights, vibrant booth seating and unique structures made out of trees. While always a great spot whenever you have a craving for pizza, pasta and everything in-between, it's also ideal for a post-shop meal when you've had a day rummaging around in the shopping centre.

Kick things off with a round of spicy chicken arancini or deliciously fresh bruschetta, then move on to a full-on pizza and pasta spread. Whether you're after a slice oozing with mozzarella, pepperoni and ham or spaghetti rich with a lentil ragu, they've got the dish for you. And for those with a sweet tooth, don't you worry - there's an ample dessert menu, with passionfruit cheesecake and zillionaire slices. If you need a drink to help wash it down, there's a fantastic list of beers, cocktails and wines.
