I really love this place!!

by bioeve at Citysearch

Great place!! We go every week. The food is wonderful and the staff is very fun and polite. Everyone knows us now and seems glad to see us when we show up. You know... just like the show cheers! The manager even comes over and greets us and offers complimentary drinks or desserts. We love it!!

Also if your not familiar with this style of food. Order the lamb with Greek tzatziki cucumber yogurt with pita and dill. It?s sooo good!

Avoid on Friday Nights, don't go with group, you won't be able to talk over the noise.

We went to Zucca Friday night and had a group of 9. We were seated on time, and had a wonderful waiter, nephew of the owner. We ordered wine, first one was not available, alternate was not a good choice. Then when it came time to order another bottle our first choice was also not available:-(

Some of the food was cold when served, taken back with a smile, but should have been hot before reaching table. We could only talk to the person directly to the right or left. To talk across the table you would have to yell, which would have been OK as everyone has to yell with the awful acoustics.

The food was OK, but exhausted by the time we left from yelling, cold food, second choice on wine and noise. Perhaps a quiet weeknight is the right time to come, but forget Friday nights.

Champagne mojitos are amazing!!!

by djlittle at Citysearch

If nothing else- go for the champagne mojito. I have never had anything so tasty in all my drinking years. Had I not been driving, I would have had a pitcher all to myself. Yes, my friends--that good. We had a very personable waiter; he was very attentive and helpful. I had the fillet and asked for medium rare with the risotto. When I cut into the fillet it was purple and the risotto was under-cooked. The waiter asked how everything was and my friend explained that my food was underdone. He was very apologetic as he remembered how I had asked to have it cooked. A new steak came back a few minutes later and was cooked perfectly; the risotto was wonderful. The tapas were delicious and dessert as well.

• Pros: Food, service and ambience

Hostess with a bad attitude

by blkbenz at Citysearch

I have been here many times before and though the food is overrated, the ambience makes up for it. However tonight, I was extremely disappointed with the hostess who was not very personable. We wanted a table for 3, she offered one on the side walk where all the people pass by or wait for a table at the step down side walk free of the pedestrians. I opted for the step down table and she said that we would be next one seated. After 15 mins she came back and told us that the table at the sidewalk was ready. I reminded her that I wanted the step down. She denied she said that and I tried to remind her of our conversation. She started having an attitude and I touched her arm as a gesture to chill and she really went off on me. I spoke to the manager but at this point, I was too annoyed to enjoy the night. Went to the Shabu-shabu restaurant instead.

• Pros: Very nice outside dining specially in the warm months
• Cons: Food is overrated and service can take forever
