Zina's Cucina

Great, semi-casial, local Italian restaurant. Cute and comfy inside, felt warm and inviting. Good for lunch or dinner / casual or business. Service was great and attentive. The food was comfort Italian and hit the spot, with nice portion sizes. We had the beef carpaccio, salad with grilled scallops, and eggplant parmigiana. All were very tasty! Def will come back.

There was little good about the chicken picata I ordered here. The chicken was under cooked and dry. The sauce was non-existent. No lemon and Greek olives on an Italian dish? The artichoke hearts were good but nothing else. The meal was insulting.

What a wonderful local gem! We just made our third visit, and it definately will not be our last! The food is incredible! You have to try their house rustic bread and the most delicious Arancini! The best I've ever had! Other favorites are the real traditional Caesar salad and the Chicken Parmesan! And, although I didn't indulge this time, you should save room for dessert! I highly recommend Zina Cucina for a real, homemade Italian meal!

While I hate more than anything to give people bad reviews this place had way to much going on not too. Not sure what the issues are as a business but the animosity between workers was unbearable to watch. Our server was trying so hard and we felt so bad to complain. But literally nothing was even edible. The prices were so high and reviews looked great so instead of eating at foxwoods we took the 35 minute trip to try authentic Italian food. Very very disappointed

Zina’s Cuchina is one of our favorite restaurants in our area! The owner, Ruth, greets you from behind the bar with her warm smile… and that’s just the beginning of a great dining experience! The menu has lots of traditional Italian dishes, of which the chicken piccata is one of my favorites! The menu always has seasonal specials that are both creative and delicious. You just won’t get bored with this fabulous menu! My husband just loves the scallops.. and I have to agree that there’s just a little magic something that makes this dish truly elevated! This past Saturday we both dined on the Mediterranean beef tips… and oh man! Paired with healthy morsels of beet and sweet potatoes, we’re pure deliciousness!! Back to the bar: Ruth is a seriously talented mixologist. My favorite is The Bee’s
