    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!

    The corvina special was an unctuous dish, bedded on cabbage (which I would have liked more of!) with a pasta side. Lasagna a classic—can’t do better than that. Cannoli appropriately creamy and tart on the inside, crunchy on the outside.

    Was so disappointed with our dish - sauce was like soup. This is not the norm for ZaZa’s- last 2 times we’ve had issues with the food. We’ve been going since they opened. Have to be honest not sure will return.

    Celebrated a big birthday with my wife and our immediate family. We all had a variety of items from the menu and they were all outstanding from the appetizers to the entrees and then dessert. Service was a little slow at the beginning but picked up and was great the rest of the evening. Great spot for outstanding Italian fare in a warm atmosphere.

    They offer Angel Hair pasta in lieu of linguine which I like better. Their Creme Brûlée desert put a perfect finishing touch to the meal!

    Food was so good. We had chicken Parmesan and Chicken risotto. So delicious. The bruschetta was very plain. It needed salt or balsamic vinegar would have made it good.
