    We had a reservation for 7. We were seated in a timely manner. Our server, Kim, was very friendly and quickly took our drink order. Although the restaurant was very busy, our server soon got our orders. When our food came, everyone enjoyed their meals. Overall, our dining experience was excellent. Thank you.

    Love the food and the service was wonderful. We actually were able to have the room to ourselves for awhile. Once people started arriving for dinner, it got a little noisy and you had to raise your voice to be able to converse. But the food and service was so good that we are able to tolerate the noise.

    I wish I was allowed to give La ZaZa Trattoria 10 stars because this place is fantastic! Everything cooked perfectly, great service and reasonable prices for what you get. The Wagyu Steak special was one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten, (cooked perfectly to order) and I’ve dined at some of the finest steakhouses in the country. If I lived in the area, I’d be here every night!! Awesome restaurant!
