We arrived at Za Za's after a long road trip there and we were all hungry. It was early 4:30 but we decided to try out the restaurant. We discovered that they didn't open until 5 and even though they were fully staffed at the time they wouldn't take our order half an hour early, so we sat at the... more

I've eaten at Za Za's several times, both on dates and with a large group. Everyone has seemed to enjoy themselves and the experience there, not to mention the food! There are some unusual Italian dishes to be found there, many of which I don't often see at other restaurants. The food isn't necessarily cheap, but the portion sizes are... more

We did not have a reservation but got seated quickly. We had the artichoke salad. It was amazing. I had the mushroom ravioli, my husband had the seafood pasta and the kids had the most amazing chicken parm kids meal. What a bargain. 2 chicken breasts, potato, green beans and a drink for $7.00. We are from NJ and a... more

We decided to go to dinner at ZaZa's during our trip to the Finger Lakes. We did not make reservations, but they promptly sat us to our table, which was nice. The decor and ambience in the restaurant was terrific.. It was very warm, inviting and clean. However, thats as far as the positives go. It took our waitress about... more

Our party of six had dinner at ZaZa's and was greatly disappointed. The appetizers were okay, nothing special. As for entrees, my husband's Porterhouse steak was well done when he requested it to be medium rare. The seafood (shrimp, scallops, mussells, etc.) on our Spaghetti allo scoglio and Spaghetti di Mare were so small they looked like they came from... more

Zaza's is the perfect place to have a nice, candlelit dinner. Whether you go with a friend, or as a huge party, the atmosphere suits the event. It is also the perfect place to take people who you want to impress. more

My husband and I had dinner at ZaZa's this past weekend and it was wonderful. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful with guiding us through the menu, and was able to recommend a wonderful bottle of wine for a very reasonable price. The food was wonderful, especially the home-made pasta's, and tasted so authentic for a moment we felt... more

After reading mostly great reviews on this website we were eager to have some fantastic Italian homemade food. We were very disappointed to say the least. The experience was a terrible, beginning with the cheap resin dining room chairs, the "old" sparkling wine (my dinner partner served sparkling wine from a bottle that had been clearly too old to serve... more
