"My wife and i chose Zamparelli's for valentine's day, and it so very well delivered. The beet salad was to die for, and the Caprese was super yummy. The server was always right there when we needed him, but wasn't bothersome. We'll definitely go back!"

"In between a cigar shop and liquor store was a gem of a place! My better half and I went for Valentine's Day and had a great time! I wouldn't recommend the Stawberry Lemonade (house infused strawberry vodka and lemonade). It had really bad vodka and it ruined the fruity taste, but the Dark and Stormys are great!! The Fried Rosati Balls were delicious and the Calzone was humongous! Overall a 5 star dining experience for us :-) we'll be going back for sure and I've already recommended it to all my friends and coworkers. Great job!"

"Horrible service. Server pretended to reccomend wine and then later said he wasn't 21 and didn't drink wine. Really loud mall like atmosphere. Pizza was really mediocre but my son did like his spaghetti."

"The speciality Pizza was good, but the crust was undercooked - so definitely not "crisp"- as a thin crust pie should be. Pasta Bolognese was excellent but was offset by a disappointing Chicken Marsala. The chef's own sauce was woefully weak in comparison to the classic recipe, and to say that it was disappointing would be an understatement."

"The basic menu of Italian dishes and Pizzas is worth the visit alone but Nancy and Jimmy also offer an innovative choice of daily special appetizers, entrees and pizza tied to the season. They also excel at special event menus for holidays like Valentine's Day, Christmas, etc. The Feast of the 7 Fishes is a must for us. We have been going almost weekly for 5 years and have never been disappointed. We have also used their catering menu on several occasions which delighted our guests. As transplanted east coasters who grew up on good Italian food, finding Zamparelli's was a blessing."
