ZIZZI'S

In spite of having eaten at IKEA not long before, when we arrived at Zizzi's for Wilson's birthday dinner he declared that he was 'well starving' and could 'eat a horse' if he weren't a vegetarian.

'I'm a growing boy, New Dad!' he reminded me.

He ordered several Starters and a couple of Mains from the menu, plus a bottle of chianti – and from past experience I didn't doubt that he would polish them off with relish.

Once he had finished, he rounded off the meal with two desserts and several coffees, before finally announcing that he was 'Well full!'
