"My chicken marsala was good but unremarkable; however my husband said his fettucini fra diavlo was delicious. Service was very good; our waiter was attentive without being overbearing while we were slow to order."

"Eaten there many times and the Veal Chop is not only the best in town, but the best in the DC area! Mortons, The Palm, Ruth's Chris, BLT don't come close! And let's not forget about the other tasty entrees and superb customer service."

"We arrived a bit late for our reservation due to traffic but were seated right away.
We have been to Zeffirelli's about 5 times now and we have become regulars. All the staff comes and greets us just like they in Italy.
The Baramundi Special was just excellent. The Rack of lamb was so tender and flavorful that we decided to come only to Zeffirelli's when we are in the mood for Lamb.
The service was great - attantive but not intrusive. Geraldo and the staff do a marvelous job to keep their guests happy. We experienced that every time we went there."

"Everything was really good. This restaurant was a good place to spend a little extra to celebrate my fiance's new job she just got. The only problem is that with her dish the mussels did not smell or taste as fresh. Everything else was well prepared and tasted great. This was one of the restaurants where my fiance and I were asking ourselves, 'why did it take so long to eat here?'"

"We had an upstairs table for 6-seated right away.There was a large table near us - about 12 people, so that delayed our service from time to time,but he was pleasant and apologetic. Many menu options-pasta, seafood, meat, chicken. Started off with bread at the table - a bit too toasty but tasted good with olive oil served. Wine list is extensive and many over $100 - a bit surprised as this is Herndon, but we had 3 bottles under 40 and enjoyed them all(Italian of course). Famous for their veal chop, which one of us got-it was given 5*. Another veal dish was raved about, as was all the other dishes - shrimp scampi, seafood remo, pasta with chicken and chicken breast. Surprised that we were not offered grated cheese with pasta dish."

"Jerry and his team work diligently to make sure his guests enjoy their experience. It is a comfortable setting for delicious Italian fare, away from the hubbub of the Town Center."
