Zinicola

Nice place for a family or small group meal. Not too loud but not a candlelight experience either (if that's what you're looking for). Excellent service.

Wonderful evening sitting at the 2 seat high tops by the kitchen. Our waiter Jaylen was great and our conversation with the Chef Cranmer was unexpected, but so welcomed.

Four family members had a fabulous birthday celebration. Some ordered fish, others meat entrees, and one pizza. Apps were delicious and the main entrees were also uniformly excellent. Service was just right: attentive and gracious but not intrusive. A superior dining experience in every way!

Zinicola is always solid with a truly wonderful dining experience. Its the " Easy Button" for us and appreciate Richard and his staff's efforts and level of professionalism

Really enjoyed our dining experience! Darren, our waiter, was simply spot on..very professional! We look forward to our next opportunity to dine!

This was our first dining experience here. We were very impressed with the food, the ambience and the service. So many intriguing items on the menu so we have to come back to try more. Bolognese was outstanding and my girl friend enjoyed the Branzino. We are coming back to try the rack of lamb because it looked outstanding on a plate nearby. Top notch dining experience! Great date spot too.

High quality food, attentive service and nice place. The level of noise though is definitely too much at the pick of the hours of Saturday night. It's hard to have a conversation

Everything was good. Service was very good. Unfortunately, they were out of the Specials. That was disappointing.

Zinicola is one of our favorite restaurants in the Ballantyne area. Good food, great drinks and a selection of delicious wines! I recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a good dinner experience.

Z was packed last night with multiple parties, but staff handled it very well. Food was delicious. I wish that they had a shrimp & pasta dish. Love the atmosphere!!

Food was great but the service was TOP notch! Our server was excellent, even with small kids made it enjoyable for our entire family. Will be going back for sure!

Zinicola is always great. The service is excellent and all of the staff is friendly. I went on my birthday and I probably got a “Happy Birthday” 10 times or more starting with the reception area, the wait staff, the chefs and then again when we were leaving. Even a nice dessert treat with a candle!

Great food. Great experience. It was our first time at Zinicola and we loved it. The staff was attentive and the food was delicious. We will be back.

In general, we enjoyed it but the dinner wasn't without issues. My understanding is that numerous employees didn't show and that caused some service issues. Initially, the waiter forgot to put in one appetizer and didn't remember until we finally asked where it was. We said we would like another round of drinks with dinner and that was not delivered. Eventually we were able to flag our waiter down and remind him. When our 4 meals came out, two of them were perfect and hot, and the other two were not even warmed (this included a filet mignon with potatoes, and a simple pasta dish). The flavor was excellent for everything. This wasn't their best night and was hit and miss. It wouldn't keep me from going back, but it didn't earn 5 stars on this visit.

I had the scallops, which were delicious and my husband had the special salmon with a tapenade. The Caesar salad had slices of shaved Parmesan cheese. We sat at the chef's counter, which is always interesting.
