One of the best in Victoria. Hard to be critical of any aspect in this long standing Italian delight. Will be back!!

Horrible food. Does not taste authentic nor fresh. Many better options in Victoria for much better upscale Italian food

10/10 service. Went here for my birthday with a group of friends. The staff was great and super attentive. Stayed very professional even as the group got a bit much. Recommending to everyone.

We sat at the bar, service was great. The portion of crispy broccoli was ridiculously small! A women with a toddler sat at the table behind us for the entire 2 hrs. The child screamed, laid in the floor, ran around and cried about 90% of the time. Don’t allow small kids Zambri’s!!! I will not be back again and will not recommend your establishment. The worst experience in a very long time!!

TL:DR the service was fantastic but the food was mediocre and I didn't love that we were sat in an isolated corner for my daughter's birthday I've always loved Zambri's and have been going since it was a little counter service spot, so when my daughter wanted to go somewhere special for her 12th birthday, I thought it would be the perfect choice. I made a reservation and was excited to show her how great this place is. When we arrived we were greeted kindly and then taken to our table - it was on the "patio" away from all the vibe and the fun of the place. It was quiet to the point of being awkward and gave mall food court vibes. I wonder if this is because I said it was my 12 year olds birthday dinner so they sat us away from all the "adult diners." Our server was excellent and everything was great in that regard, but the food this time was only mediocre. The pasta sauce tasted mostly of canned tomatoes, the carrots were undercooked (I like some crisp in a cooked carrot but these were nearly raw) and the sauce and cheese combo did not enhance the nearly flavorless vegetable. The crispy broccoli was overdone and crumbled into dust when you stuck your fork into it. My wine was delicious and the service was wonderful from beginning to end but honestly, I don't think I'll be back any time soon.

I hosted a 40 person party at Zambri's in the atrium space last weekend and it was wonderful. Emily made the planning and preparation for the event a breeze. She was prompt, polite, and so accommodating. On the night of, the food was amazing as was the service from Fillipo and Ian. I would highly recommend Zambri's as an event venue.
We ordered from the daily special list and all items were very good. Service was friendly and prompt. It is one of our “go to” restaurants in downtown Victoria.

Food and service were amazing, and they were excellent with allergies. The panna cotta truly stole the show, hands down the best I’ve ever had

Buzzy vibes, good first date place but on the loud side for a group larger than 4 or if you are wanting any group conversation. Food was nicely presented but nothing wowed. Cocktails were elegant and well done.

The food here was absolutely amazing! Even the simple salad I had that came with my meal, lightly dressed with just oil, vinegar and salt was so tasty! Phenomenal service to go with the phenomenal food as well! The server took my jacket so I didn’t have it taking up space at the table. Their house made iced tea is just fantastic.
I tried the daily special as it was my first time visiting and it was duck ragu, and oh my word was it delicious!!!! Perfect sized portions too, not too much. Just the right amount of food.
