We come to Zanti once a week…it’s been a tradition since they opened. We love the food and service , and ambiance is amazing, lively, and intimate all at the same time. The James family will always be loyal!

My wife and I like Zanti’s very much but on this most recent visit they were way off their game. The lobster pizza was so soggy it was non edible. I had to send it back. I have noticed, when they are really busy, the quality of the food being sent out is diminished. Before their rush, the food seems consistent. Once the rush begins, the kitchen seems to want to expedite the food so fast, it becomes hit or miss. We won’t be back unless it is for an early dinner at the bar.

They had us sit outside which would have been ok but the sun was shining in half of the tables eyes. Could have understood if we did not have reservations but we did. Had several other tables move because of the sun in the eyes.

My husband and I ate at Zanti in2019. We were very disappointed and swore we would not be back. That was until my Daughter wanted to celebrate her 23rd bday there. So I sucked it up and enjoyed every mouthful of food. The service was good and the food was delicious. I am not going to wait years to go back.

Reserved, arrived on time and seated promptly. Unfortunately located next to a table with a screeching child. Josephine was our server and she was friendly, helpful with food and wine suggestions and sympathetic regarding screaming child. All food was well prepared though portion sizes seem to have shrunk somewhat. Generally a good vibe in restaurant with lots of people coming and going.

Valentines Dinner! Amazing experience with great food and perfect drinks. Night started off fabulous from the beginning seeing Bryce as our waiter. Our first time was in November and he was our waiter then, he recognized us and remembered us right away this time. Always a great job by Bryce to make our evening even more special!

As soon as we arrived my date and I were seated immediately. Afterwards we waited for about 15 minutes til the waitress came out to ask for our drinks. Once we ordered our food we literally waited 7 minutes until our food came out and I thought to myself, “That was awfully fast, I hope they just didn’t heat up a frozen entree.” So once I took a bite out of my Chicken Parmigiana, the chicken was hard like a hockey puck. I tried the noddles that came with my meal and it didn’t even taste like it was cooked, again a possible frozen entree. My wife’s entree was the Mushroom Risotto and it was VERY oily. The prices were highly overpriced for the food here. My wife and I have been to way better restaurants. Zanti was a good experience overall because now I know where to never go again. Thank you and think twice before coming here, especially on a date; whether it’s your first or 17th date.

Grandmothers birthday. Everything was very enjoyable. We live not too far and have watched the building of this restaurant and we’re excited to try it! We were truly happy we did. I had the chicken piccata for the first time, and would recommend to everyone. We both enjoyed the processo sangria!! Only issue was, we forgot our left overs! We were too busy talking about the amazing chocolate cake provided for her birthday. 10/10 experience

Paul (waiter) was great. Food was great. The live music definitely helped the ambience. There were large groups near us who were very noisy which made it difficult to have a conversation with my wife. Except for this drawback, the evening was very enjoyable. We would definitely recommend ZT.

Seated fairly quickly, (10 mins after reservation time), waiter was punctual in the beginning, everything tasted good. But the noise level is high, it’s over crowded with tables squeezed in. And it’s gotten too pricey.
