    We dined on Valentine’s Day, so it was very crowded and noisy, but the food is always was outstanding. Best Italian in the entire area.

    Wanted to try someplace new and saw that this had such great reviews. While the food and service were good, they need to get rid of a two top that’s in the hallway leading into the kitchen. It totally ruined our dining experience to hear the clatter of the kitchen and have people going by nonstop. While I would come back for the food that table is the worst experience in dining I think I’ve ever had.

    We had a pleasant dinner. The old world look & feel of the restaurant was nice, but pretty noisy. I thought my linguini was kind of dull. Others in our party were happy with their meals. The fresh bread, didn't seem all that fresh even though it was warm - it was cut unevenly and hard to tear apart. How to tear apart bread without touching someone else's bread?? The waitress was not willing to separate our check (3 in our party so we wanted 2 on one check and an individual. She said the system is old. I felt that her response was just an excuse as all restaurants nowadays split checks especially restaurants in this price range. Maybe if we had asked ahead of time, it would have been different. She should have asked if we were ready for the check.... This was our second visit. Our first visit was a few years ago and we had a great time. I am sure we split checks last time as we had several couples in our party.

    We were celebrating my sons birthday. Our server Jessica was so kind, helpful and attentive she even put a candle in his dessert to help celebrate! It’s tradition to come for this son’s birthday and we love that he picks it every year (we come more than once a year but every year he picks Zaza’s for his birthday dinner)
