    A really good outing at Zeffirelli's last night. All three courses were done well. Service was friendly and on point. The wine selection was outstanding.

    Zeffireli was truly a treat! First time customer and I was impressed with the food, service, and ambiance. Everything was 5 star worthy! Will be back in the near future.

    We love zeffirelli’s… been going for years, but definitely not a place to go on a holiday. The number of tables seemed to be doubled. We were basically in an aisle. Staff was constantly saying excuse me and pushing bellies and plates passed our heads. Surprised there wasn’t a spill. Our waiter had no interest in being there (he clear had a long night). Food was just not the same. Stick to what you do best… every day great dining.

    I would go back again. Everything was wonderful, the pesto sauce was a little runny and didn’t have much flavor, but maybe that was because they were overbooked on Valentine’s Day. I’m going to go again to see if it’s different on a regular dinner night. I definitely like the staff.

    The service and ambiance were unmatched. The food quantity didn’t seem like much at first glance, but after eating it, it satiated plenty. Desserts were also impeccable.

    Zeffirelli’s is a true gem. The food was delicious and better than many meals I’ve had in Rome. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and the servers are friendly and efficient. Definitely worth a visit!

    It’s was crowded due to Valentines Day.. I will revisit soon- however we enjoyed our dinner and our waiter was wonderful! We were packed in tightly - but considering the “day” overall - we enjoyed ourselves and the the staff was great too!

    Wonderful. Linguine alla Vongole was excellent. The Tiramisu was the best we’ve ever had.

    Had high hopes and expectations from the menu, but the food tasted like it was frozen. The restaurant is beautiful and had a classic look but the tacky valentine decoration took away from it. Service was alright. Glad I was able to go now, so I know not to go again in the future.

    Zeffirelli’s has great Italian food! We like to dine there for special occasions. The prices are appropriate for a special night out. When they are busy, the tables feel too close together. However their excellent food is definitely worth a visit!
