Zinicola

First time here. The staff was really good (knowledgeable, efficient and friendly). Props to Benjamin our server. The atmosphere was nice as well; leans towards fine dining without being too pretentious. Food was good, but candidly we’re very picky when it comes to Italian food as we compare it to our own. We had the mussels in white broth as an appetizer (8/10 - mussels were good but crusty bread needs to be delivered with the appetizer, not afterwards). We then had the beet risotto (7/10 - tasty but could use a little more flavor) and the classic lasagna (7.5/10 - also tasty but a little dry and could have used a little pop in flavor).

We had a chance to visit Zinicola recently and had a very nice experience. The staff and especially the server were more than gracious and provided outstanding service. We felt overall the food was very good. Highlights included the filet mignon, which was perfectly cooked the Caesar salad with the white anchovies, and the meatball appetizer. One note was on my original order of the known as lasagna. It was significantly overcooked, but the staff graciously replaced it within an outstanding version. Also, we felt the sauce and preparation for the Brio was a little bit lacking, and not as rich as we might would’ve wanted. Overall, though a very good Italian restaurant and one we would consider visiting again.

This place is Awesome with beautiful ambiance. The service was wonderful. Our two waiter staffs were amazing and very knowledgeable of the food. I had calamari and meatballs for the appetizers. And for the main course octopus. It was my first time having this dish. And it was amazing. We also had Earl Grey tea with honey. Tiramisu and chocolate cake for desserts.

Love this restaurant! I’ve been a few times before but the last time I went it was probably 2 years ago. My boyfriend and I made a reservation for Valentine’s Day dinner and we had such a great experience last night. Both of our servers Benjamin and Darin were THE BEST! They were so attentive and made sure that we felt welcome and got all the info on the specials of the evening. I loved that they had a prefix menu in addition to the full regular menu to give flexibility. I had a glass of Sangiovese wine with my meal and it was so delish. They serve complimentary bread with seasoned oil and balsamic vinegar and I am a big fan of that combo so that was a plus! We shared the calamari appetizer and we both enjoyed it. They were crispy and had just enough breading on them and were served with a

We came here for our daughter’s 10th birthday and they treated us so special! Charlie was our server and he was amazing! The food was spectacular. It is obvious everything is homemade and fresh. Charlie was attentive and on point the whole evening. We just had the best evening. We got a Best Birthday Ever! Thank you so much!!
