    Food and service and ambience were all fantastic. Although the crab legs were wonderful; they are a bit pricey.

    This place is great! We first tried it last Spring and it quickly became our favorite for Italian. We have tried seafood and steak specials too and have never been disappointed. The service is top notch and the food is amazing. You can’t find this quality of food for the price anywhere in the area. Highly recommended spot.

    This is the type of restaurant that every community should with they have. We had a wonderful time and dinner it Vistro Prime. It's a very nice space that can handle the casual dinner, first dateor family party. I don't believe youl'll feel out of place no matter what the environment mood your looking for. I would say it's elegant casual. The food was great I had a steak and my date had pasta and we shared a salad. ALL where will prepaded cooked correctly and nicely plated. We had a few cocktails and all came perfect & enjoyable. While the wait staff was friendly & knowledgeable I feel could have been a little more attentive to our table. We enjoyed a table in the middle of the dining room and found it very comfortable , well spaced and conversation friendly ( good for a date ) yet will definitely come back to try the lively bar area. While I reside in downtown Chicago this would be my go to place if I lived in the Hinsdale erea. Give this Gem a try I think you'll be going back again & again.

    Excellent service by Patrick, and delicious food! Six of us enjoyed a fun night out in Zaza’s pretty setting. The grilled calamari was very flavorful was a nice change from fried calamari. The seafood and pasta dishes were all fresh and delicious!
