    Highly recommend Zucca! The service was impeccable. We shared an assortment of appetizers and they were so creative and delicious. My tagliatelle bolognese was excellent and my fiancé enjoyed his pumpkin ravioli. The restaurant is clean and attractive. Definitely a great brunch!

    What a cool place! I highly recommend making a reservation because it was very full even on a Tuesday night. Their birthday package was very nice, and the food was truly incredible. The whole place had a very lively vibe, and was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The parking situation is a little challenging, but at least the valet was free. I would definitely go back to celebrate other events. It seems great for a company party, as well.
