    Our pasta dish was memorable. The risotto was underseasoned. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was crowded and conversation became difficult when more diners arrived.

    Once again an amazing evening at Zitto Zitto! Scrumptious food! Great company. Cozy atmosphere. Phenomenal staff! Marty as always being his hilarious self. Lovely meeting Ian this evening. The two fellas are dinner and a show! Precision dining watching Marty weave in/out from the kitchen and his sleight of hand when you realize he changed out the silverware while dazzling you with his sparkling personality! Maurice had his favourite cauliflower side dish with today’s special: butternut squash risotto, he added shrimp. It was soo good! I forget which cocktail Ian made him. I had my roasted beets with the melt in your mouth burrata, pistachio pesto, linguine con asttice - OMG! Sooooo good! Pistachio tiramisu for dessert. Marty made me a mocktail, he called Bianca’s something, just delicious. Oh Marty razzle dazzled us with his oil & balsamic swirling skills, to dip our bread. Ask him to make it dirty for ya! Ha! ;o)

    We just came back from our anniversary dinner at Zitto Zitto Taverna and we are blown away by the whole experience. We were welcome with champagne by the house. The service was incredible and the food was super delicious. We were also gifted with lemon cake and double espresso. The ambiance is warm and intimate, it’s a little loud but we are Italian and it’s part of the whole experience. Overall, we loved every moment of the whole experience and they will definitely see us there again soon. Grateful for so many blessings. Highly recommended.

    Great cocktails! Apps and mains were superb. Loved the grilled artichoke. Pastas were fantastic. Skip the bread. Tried twice and it was dry and tasteless. Great service. Room is very loud. Ask for a table in the corner.
