    It was very loud and bright in the restaurant. The bathroom toilet seat was broken and toilet was backed up. We Started with arancini that tasted rancid. Lasagna and cavatelli lacked flavor. I was disappointed with the food. The service started out great but dwindled as the night went on. I won’t go back, unfortunately.

    Our first visit and we will be back. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Julian was attentive even though the restaurant was busy. Loved the charm of the restaurant and had a good neighborhood feel that you can come enjoy good food and wine with friends and family. Chicken Vesuvio, minestrone soup, Eggplant with Pomodoro sauce and Basil , zucchini fries , house salad, warm bread were all delicious. Can’t wait to come back and try some more delicious food.

    The food at LaZingara was delicious! Our server Dennis was beyond attentive. We have the grilled calamari and the burrata special appetizer. Both tasty and fresh flavors. We each got a meal and shared. The veal Marsala was good. As well as the risotto dish and lamb shank. Would highly recommend this restaurant. It’s a casual atmosphere with great food!

    Absolutely delicious, homemade Italian food. Everything we ate was good. Baked clams appetizer was the best! Generous portions & friendly, efficient staff. Super busy Saturday night, but worth the wait!

    Valentine's Day. Arrived early and accommodated promptly. Cold water, warm bread. Prompt greeting and placed wine order. Waiter promptly placed meal order, attentive busing. Salads and soup comfortable , main course shortly thereafter. Filled the plate, nice presentation and hot. nice portions-no room for dessert. Second great experience in as many months.
