Fantastic service complimented our delicious meal. I had the short rib ravioli which was absolutely mouth wateringly delicious. The minestrone soup was so fresh tasting with perfectly cooked veggies. A tasty cappuccino topped with cinnamon for dessert topped off a great meal in a beautiful atmosphere. Loved this place!

We stopped in to Zaza after a 6 year hiatus and had to ask ourselves why had we denied ourselves great family Italian dining for so long. Welcoming with hustling and responsive staff, and happy to alter main meals and desserts to our taste. A Fogato not on the menu, removal of pistachios from a pastry, meatless pasta dish, etc. from the start….the roasted brussel sprouts appetizer served the entire table…best I’ve ever had. My wife’s tagliatelle with bolognese sauce out...

This is a great place to have a nice meal with a cozie atmosphere. The food is fantastic. Their chicken catchatory and the frutti di mare are excellent. You will not be disappointed with anything. Give it a try.
