    Really enjoyed our meal at La Zozzona. Even though they’d only been open for a week, it felt very “together”. It’s Italian, but inventive - not predictable or cliched. We enjoyed the squash blossoms, Zabuton steak, Cacio e Pepe and finished with an excellent, light Cannoli. Aside from the food, they have terrific cocktails and a superb wine list. Service was friendly and attentive (thanks Jake!) and we even met Chef JR when we had questions about the meal. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Great meal with wonderful service. Best swordfish I’ve ever had. The tiramisu is fantastic as well.

    It’s disappointing that I feel the need to write this, but my wife and I recently had an underwhelming experience at La Zozzona. As longtime fans of Chef Blais, we were eager to try his newest venture. The restaurant had only been open for eight days at the time of our visit, and with Chef Blais personally overseeing the launch just a week prior, we had high expectations. Unfortunately, our excitement quickly turned into disappointment. Let me start by saying the staff was outstanding. They were attentive, warm, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. However, the food was where things fell apart. We began with the Crispy Mozzarella, an appetizer our server described as both delicious and “fun,” promising that it would ooze with hot, melted cheese when cut open. Sadly, that wasn’t the case. While it looked appealing, the mozzarella was cold and lacked any of the gooey texture we were anticipating. There was no steam, no melty goodness—just a large, lukewarm mozzarella stick. The saving grace was the sweet sauce on top, which was the best part of the dish. For our entrées, I ordered the bone-in veal chop parm, and my wife opted for the chicken marsala platter. The veal chop was deeply disappointing—it was greasy, overcooked, and painfully dry. The accompanying sauce was overly sweet, which only compounded the dish’s flaws. For the price, it was far from justifiable. My wife’s chicken marsala fared a bit better; her chicken was cooked well, and the portion was reasonable, but again, the sauce was far too sweet, which threw off the entire dish. While I understand that new restaurants often go through growing pains, this experience felt like more than just first-week jitters. For Chef Blais to put his name behind food of this quality—especially at these prices—was genuinely surprising. In an area with no shortage of excellent Italian restaurants offering better food at more competitive prices, it’s hard to justify a return visit.

    New “Italian” offering at what is now the Grand Hyatt, Scottsdale. Food was presented well, flavors were consistent with descriptions. Entrees are definitely shared sizes. Service was well executed. Ambience is non-existent, looking out in to a banquet space which had an event going on. Room is cold and has no personality. Wine list is, one would assume, a work in progress. It has a few gems. Overall there is opportunity for improvement. For example, in an empty restaurant the host seats you in the delivery path.

    Beautiful restaurant! Delicious food! We ordered the Caesar salad, meatballs and the specialty rigatoni. All were very flavorful and cooked to perfection. Service was exceptional. Highly recommend this restaurant. Check it out. You are in for a wonderful dining experience!

    La Zozzona was INCREDIBLE! The staff is so friendly to explain all the dishes and give recommendations on how to order. Not only that, the food was top notch! We met the owner Richard Blais, and he went up to every table to make sure the food was delicious: which is ABSOLUTELY WAS! WE drove over 2.5 hours to go to this place, and it was well worth it. We will be back!
