    We were seated immediately upon arriving at the restaurant. Have been there before and they are always consistent. We shared the Giant Meatball and it was delicious as usual. Had a special with cavatelli and pesto, broccoli and sausage and it was delicious. Thank you again for making this a great night.

    Zeugma was great at accommodating my large party that arrived late right before closing. They were very clear about when their kitchen closed and helped ensure we had a nice dinner while also being respectful to the restaurant staff. Thank you Zeugma for your patience and consideration!
