For over 21 years, Zambri’s has been fortunate enough to serve Victorians Italian soul food paired with all the best wines of Italy. We’ve grown as Victoria has grown, but at our heart, we have remained true to our roots. Many years of working with local farmers, being a contributing member of our local community, caring for the environment (we are carbon neutral), hosting Italian wine dinners and always making sure that our vision for our food stays true, have brought us to the place we are now.

We had to wait for our reservation and so the manager sat us and immediately brought everyone a dish of crispy broccoli! Very unexpected and thoughtful way of recognizing the wait time! The server was also amazing in helping me navigate the menu given my dietary restrictions as well as pair my meal with a lovely wine! An absolutely excellent experience!! Thank you!
We are visiting from out of town for my brother in laws 45th bday. No one answers the phone at the restaurant i tried multiple times throughout the day and there is zero parking anywhere in the area. I’m staying at a hotel close by and with my elderly mother who can’t walk. We should have taken a taxi from the hotel as I spent 30 minutes looking for parking after I dropped my mother off on time for our reservation. I would have been so happy had I known that and I understand if there is not parking. That is not the restaurants fault but letting us know would have been appreciated.
The staff is nice but slow and they do not answer the phone and I wanted to speak to someone and ask about parking but couldn’t get through to anyone. There is no valet. No one had alcohol at our dinner and the bill was $360.00 for 5 people and 3 desserts. the food is delicious and worth it but the service is not the best so for the prices there should be the basic minimum service. Wouldn’t it be respectful for the Restaurant to have someone answer the phone? But they are busy so I don’t think it’s important to them.
As always - great food and service!
Always a great experience and excellent service. Would recommend for families, date night or small parties.
Very open, lively restaurant surrounded by glass. Ordered the funghi and pepperoni pizzas. They had a medium crispy crust. The funghi had different types of mushrooms and truffle oil. Most Italian restaurants provide freshly baked bread with olive oil and balsamic to have on the table. Instead both are separate menu items. Plan to spend $20/pizza. Service was very good.
The staff was friendly and efficient, food and drinks were great! It was noisy but busy so nothing you could do about that.
Zambri's menu never disappoints, although we have favourites that we order time and again.
Four of us all had something different and everything was delicious!
Lovely evening
Excellent evening for our party of six at Zambris. It was a very enjoyable choice for us after taking in a movie. Zambris is such an attractive place and the server was attentive and perfect. The food -- pizza, pasta, fish-- were all delicious. We will be back!
We dined on limited time, and the staff worked diligently to make sure we were well served and comfortable, yet still finished in time for our later commitment. Crispy Broccoli is a delight every time, and the wine and cocktails were delicious.
I find the quality of food and service here consistently incredible.
Lovely ambiance and great service and food. Would definitely recommend.
One of our favourite spots in Victoria. The strip loin wasn't as good as usual (too rare for medium rare request as well) , but the passionfruit panacotta and two bottles of very good red wine made up for this.
Our Server was so lovely and knowledgeable. Drinks and food were delicious
Overall Zambris was a great dinner experience. Most the food was very flavourful and fairly priced comparatively. The staff was great and very kind and personable. It was busy as most popular restaurants are, but the food took a quite long to receive at the table. The noise level inside the restaurant was quite high, but that’s expected in a full restaurant. Overall it was an enjoyable experience.
Lovely to come back and try this place again. Loved the pork shoulder and sitting out in the atrium.
Wonderful evening out with family, celebrating a fiftieth birthday. Excellent food, service and atmosphere.
Thank you Zambris 🙏❤️
Very good food and service! Would come back again.
Great vibe with food and drink to match. Nice to have a good Italian restaurant that knows how to make a good cocktail and/or pair a beautiful wine with your entree.
An upscale casual dining experience. The service was top notch. Overall, the food was good. Focaccia was standard.I had the tagliatelle. Although the noodles were done to perfection, the sauce needed something. For dessert, tiramisu, which you can’t go wrong with.
Perhaps, next time I’ll try a different dish and the rating may improve.
Our request for the "patio" was easily accommodated. Our primary server was genuinely friendly and personable, and all other staff we interacted with were equally good-natured. The food was excellent, as always, both old favourites and new items -- which we are thankful for in this challenging time with supply-chain problems and staffing shortages. We were celebrating an event, and this was the perfect place to help us do that.
Love the food. It was a bit noisy for us but other than that - great
Visitors from out of town.
My wife and I had the tasting menu. There were a ton of dishes, all were excellent. The portions were quite large for tasters. My wife and I left completely full, and satisfied. The server was attentive and helpful. We have gone to Zambri's many times before and are never disappointed.
A very enjoyable evening !!
We love to hear that you enjoyed your time at Zambri's. Thank you Linda.

Thank you HeyBub.
Excellent experience!
Great to hear Brian!
Food was excellent. Staff all very helpful and friendly
Thank you Wicky. We are blessed with our amazing team.
The service was above and beyond and the food was spectacular! Thank you so much 😊
We are grateful for your kind words Dawn!
Decent well done Italian food. Pastas were outstanding. Our server was lacklustre and maybe bad too many tables. She sent someone to take our drinks, then did the bare minimum after that. She wasn’t bad, just mediocre. The bartender, bus boy and food runners provided great service though and were super friendly and helpful though.
Get the spaghetti aglio olio peperoncino!!! So delicious
Thank you Emma! It really is the best!
Great meal, great experience! I will definitely go back again.
Thank you Rachel! We will see you soon.
Enjoyed an excellent dinner with friends. Food was amazing.
The tasting menu here was superb. Peter Zambri is the best Italian chef in the business in Victoria. This staple restaurant is one of the best venues in town.
Thank you Peter. We agree!
Wonderful food and wine list with outstanding service. With the celebration of their anniversary there were many nostalgic items to choose from; the octopus was amazing as was the Chanterelle Mushroom dish and then the filet hit it out of the park!
Great dinner with friends and no disappointments.Service was excellent and food was very good.
Pleased we could host you!
Just so nice to get back inside our neighborhood restaurant. Grateful for the Atrium seating, thank you
Thank you Lauren. We are happy to be your neighborhood spot! Cheers
