Excellent vegetarian options. Lots of parking nearby. Nice, cozy atmosphere. Customization possible on dishes. We were on a time crunch for the nearby IMAX movie at Jordan's and they accommodated our request for fast service. Unique, fresh taste

★★★★★ 5.0 Eli Moslemi · Feb 2025

I highly recommend ZUCCA. And that is because of several reasons. - Delicious and fresh food - Perfect portions and good price - Great service We ordered Penne Alla Romanata, and chicken pasta. We loved it. Shrimp cocktail is a must try. Never miss it!

Poor. Space is cosy and service is friendly and efficient. However the pasta..is like someone inherited an authentic menu from an Italian and decided to make it with cheap ingredients from Market Basket. There is no way the carbonara is made with “egg, Italian pancetta” etc as the menu says. It came slathered in white-coloured CREAM which tasted of nothing, and the “pancetta” was tiny slivers of cheap, anaemic bacon. Stale sliced baguette on table. Bolognese similarly horrible. (“Like hamburger meat”.) Bruschetta was tasty, purely because it had lots of balsamic on it. Could not taste olive oil. For 2 plates of the awful pasta and the bruschetta + 1 Coke we paid $70. Never again.

Came here for the first time tonight as a recommendation from a friend. Did not expect it to be a little hole in the wall but those are always the best places. Issac, was very friendly and welcoming from the second we walked through the door. The customer Service is great, but the food is even better. All fresh Italian food and you can tell it’s made in house. Definitely will be back for more

It's not often that you find a restaurant that has excellent service and wonderful food, but this is one of those places. Isaac and the rest of the staff were very pleasant and went out of their way to make sure that we had a great experience. I highly recommend giving Zuccas a try and I can't wait to try their breakfast place (Half and Half which is two doors down from Zuccas). Looking forward to a return visit!
