My 55th Birthday dinner with the family.
We ordered a pizza and a veal chop. The pizza was undercooked but that wasn’t the issue. The veal chop with a mushroom peppercorn sauce was very salty. I called over a waiter that wasn’t ours to return the veal chop but our waiter or the manager never came to us to ask if we wanted something else or what the problem was. I asked for the bill and paid it then told the waiter we wouldn’t come back because she we sent the food back he didn’t do anything. He told me I ate some of it so he didn’t do anything. I took 4 bites!!!!!
Do not eat here.. the food tastes like the service... they don’t care.
Food was very tasteful, Bruschetta was served on warm buns which was to much bready, Caesar salad was very good, fresh and crisp, I had the Pollo Rossi which was the sautéed chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce, again very tasteful, I would order it again and the side vegetables were cook just right. I would definitely visit again.
We had eaten at Zizi few times before this one; this was the first time during the global pandemic and social/physical distancing.
We were very impressed with the table spacing to maintain safe distances between patrons. The wait staff were all wearing face coverings properly. They rely on the honour system for contact tracing; something that could be improved upon because people can leave false information or not sign in at all since it was unattended.
The food was fantastic, as expected! My wife had the Pollo Rossi which was super moist and delicious! I had the Bistecca Zizi and I was very impressed...I am usually skeptical of having steaks at non-steakhouses but this one cooked perfectly and well seasoned.
Great experience...considering the new world of eating out we would be happy to recommend Zizi!
Great food and service!
Delicious food and a great atmosphere!
Great food with just the right mix of traditional Italian cuisine and fusion flavors. Service team was excellent. Glad we made a reservation as all tables were filled. We will be back!
Great staff... welcoming, friendly, ready to help and accomodate. Food is very good. Nice dining areas.
My family and I were treated very well, food was great and the atmosphere lovely. Out server (sorry forgot the name!) was very friendly and courteous, we will definitely be back!
A fantastic Italian restaurant. The food is excellent and the restaurant ambiance it very nice. We have been going to ZiZi for years and love it.
We sat down for a nice dinner and that is exactly what we recieved. We have never had a bad meal here. Service is always great. We love the new location.
Excellent!!!
Very modern decor and it was a quiet night. The food was delicious and the portions were very big!
I would go again!
It's Father's day lunch and all of us really enjoy it
Lovely waiter. Large pasta portion. Delicious food.
Food was mediocre at best for a more upscale Italian eatery. There are plenty of other Italian places in this price range that offer food that is far superior. It’s too bad, because I had dined here when it was at their previous location and I remember the food tasting much better. There was also about 8 people in total eating there. Maybe that should have been a clue. P.s they knew we were there for a special occasion and we didn’t even get acknowledgment of that.
Good Food. Good Portion.
My wife and I had dinner there recently. We had not eaten here since the name change. We definitely enjoyed our visit. The food was great and portions were bigger than expected. In terms of value...I would say definitely good value for the amount spent.
The decor can use some freshening up...but it was clean and organized.
We will definitely be back.
This evening was a perfect dinner. We had the pasta n fish dish that turned out to be amazingly great.
Enjoyed the food/ quality etc...
I felt that portions of our mains (specials- veal chop and branzino) were rather small, considering the price paid ($35+).
Will probably stuck to pasta dishes next time if we should choose to return.
Overall- ok/ not blown away
Awesome food and service. Best Italian Restaurant I have eaten at.
From when we walked in to our departure the environment was friendly n quite. A great romantic experience. Very well maintained restaurant with very friendly staff n a great menu. The food was amazing.
Excellent food!
We ha e been to this restaurant many times. We believe the food has improved since its recent move to the Rutherford location. Improved from Very good to outstanding. Owners, server are real classy and they do not try to gouge you. Highly recommended. To us, best quality of food and service as reasonable prices. Thanks folks!
Took a customer for lunch. The service was amazing, our server did not rush us at all and asked and took care of special requests. Had the Veal chop. Cooked to perfection. The food is awesome. The service is just as good and the price is reasonalble
Excellent server, good food and nice ambience
For an Italian restaurant in an area of town with a large Italian diaspora, the pizza was surprisingly mundane—the margharita pizza is just a cheese pizza. I have no major complaints otherwise.
Excellent service and great food, everything was just as we had expected authentic Italian cuisine.
We have been going here for years. First time for us in the new location. It is in a much nicer place now and the food was outstanding. Also great friendly service. Great moderately priced wine selection as well. Highly recommended. We will continue to frequent this place with family and friends.
My experience was very positive. Great meal and attentive wait staff. I like their new location very spacious and comfortable.
Excellent food and service. I would highly recommend that people try this restaurant.
Beautiful place! High ceilings, large windows with long curtains and comfy seats. The food was incredible. I had the salmon and it was seasoned to perfection. The staff there are so welcoming and friendly! Highly recommended!
This was the second time my husband and I took business guests out for lunch at Zizi’s and we were not disappointed. Service and quality of food is consistent. Thank you.
I took my friend to zizi for a special birthday dinner. It was a disappointing experience.
There was only one waiter serving every occupied table. About 4 tables. There was another person who brought us our wine. That person then sat at a table to socialize with someone.
Our waiter did not have a pleasant disposition. He was very condescending and always in a rush, barely letting us talk to place orders before rushing off. We even had to call him back at one point because he walked off mid-sentence.
The food was ok, but I wouldn’t return here or recommend it. There are many fabulous restaurants in the GTA with both good food and service.
Bday 🙌🏽 great time crazy construction outside but lovely place
Great venue for business dinner. Food is really good and the menu doesn't do justice. Great wine selection
Great welcome from the management team, fantastic food and friendly service!
Great company, great food, lots of wine. Sorry if we disturbed other diners.
Wonderful evening! Food and service were excellent!
This place was just how it was described in most of the other reviews. Really good food but the service was excellent when we had it, it was spotty throughout the night. Not really sure if we had an assigned waiter or waitress. What was great was it made us comfortable to take our time. Will be back for sure.
