We are so glad we visited this family owned and ran restaurant. We enjoyed a traditional meatball dish for an appetizer. It was three good size meatballs, very fresh with a wonderful sauce. My wife enjoyed a vodka sauce,penne pasta with shrimp dish. Couldn’t finish it. The serving size was gracious. I enjoy the lamb chops, perfectly seasoned and cooked to a brilliant medium rare. The dish also had a vegetable and potatoe medley equaling delicious and complimentary to the lamb chops. The tzatziki sauce was made fresh and paired perfectly with everything on the plate. We wrapped up our meal with the apple pie, side of cream and a tiramisu. All three were homemade and you could taste the authenticity! Well done Zucchini! We will certainly be back to enjoy other items on your menu! Thank you Juan. Thank you chef!
We enjoy this restaurant time and time again. —Their wonderful, delicious menu items not found at others and pleasant engaging staff too. We’ll be back! To me these photos represent one who loves what she does with running this restaurant and serving its customers with heart of joy and professionalism. The restaurant seems to be always full of those gathering for an exuberant evening.
Juan and his family run a lovely establishment. They have a passion for what they do and it shines through in both the food and the customer service. Also love that this place is off the tourist strip. A great change of scenery and worth the drive/taxi fare
What a delicious meal! We had the gnocchi stefano and I can’t rave enough about it! Also the meatballs were exceptional! Really flavorful and robust. The Chilean sea bass was very good but was very lemon flavored. The best parking available right on premises. Staff was attentive and exceptional! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
The food is very delicious and I did enjoy the veal. Our group also had soups, meatballs, Pasta Alfredo and more, all the dishes were tasty and made well. Kids enjoyed the cheese sticks. The place is not cheep and feels a bit overpriced. Wait time to be served is longer than similar places.
