We tried Zeffirelli’s out on a delivery order and the food was amazing!!! We ordered lots of seafood and pasta dishes. The seafood was fresh and tender, the sauces were balanced in flavors and the desserts were so delicious (tiramisu and cheesecake). We were impressed and will order again from them. Deliver service was excellent and food was well packaged.

Truly exquisite dining and a magical experience. Everything about this place is wonderful from the setup to the service to the cuisine. A very nice and relaxing environment and a great location overall (old town Herndon, as small as it is, is a real charm). The wait staff are very friendly and attentive to guests. For my 🍽️ on this visit, I had what they call the "Cleopatra", which is a 🦞 tail, 🦐, sea scallops, and mussels served over a bed of linguine with the best damn vodka sauce I have ever had. They also had a grilled baby 🐙 appetizer which was phenomenal. I highly recommend Zeffirelli's for a surreal and dream like dining experience.

This is a beautiful restaurant but there are things that weren't up to par for our liking on an upscale Italian restaurant. First we were sat in a corner table against a divider and my husband being tall was squished in between. We moved no problem. Then we order an appetizer of Calamari which was great along with the Caesar salad and lobster bisque was not. It was something I was looking forward to as I love it and it was not a hit. It was fishy tasting and missing some flavor. Sent that back bc I couldn't stomach the taste. Next we had someone else's appetizers dropped at our table and.thsmnot was taken away with so much confusion that didn't make much sense. The food can't go to its table once you dropped it elsewhere. Next up was the lobster ravioli we were also excited to try and it w

I have been to Zeffirelli years ago. I went back this past week and it still has the Good ole authentic Italian restaurant. The food portion is generous. The service is ultra attentive. They offer a number of special dishes to keep the menu fresh and interesting. I had the Cleopatra which is a seafood dish with a lobster tail, large shrimps, scallop and mussels served with tagliatelle. I don’t usually have dessert but how can I miss the homemade tiramisu?!

Had an Anniversary Celebration Dinner with my wife and found Zeffirelli online. I couldn't have been happier. The experience was absolutely wonderful! The food was some of the best authentic Italian Cuisine we've ever tasted. My wife said the Scampi was the best she has ever eaten. I chose the Cleopatra and it was absolutely wonderful. Our service was perfect. Mohammed could not have done anything more to make the service any better. We highly recommend them for an exquisite experience. 5 Stars doesn't do it justice. Thank you for making our night as special as you did.
