    Served spoiled mussels that smelled like manure. I sent them back and they still charged me for them until I asked to be comped. Took at least 20 mins to have server some back to our table to take our payment so we could leave.

    We’ve enjoyed Z for years and have always had a great experience! We were celebrating multiple occasions with friends last night and our food, service and surprise desserts were wonderful. We always recommend Z to our friends if they’re not joining us!

    Great as usual. Had the calamari and it was better than I remembered it. Really like the added vegetables.

    We always love dining at Z Cucina! From the moment you walk in the door you feel welcome and a part of the family! Our server Emalea was terrific: knowledgeable, helpful, professional, personable, efficient, and patient. Food was outstanding as always. We started with the calamari appetizer which is one of the best in the city! For dinner, I had the seafood special, which was sea bass on a bed of couscous in a slightly spicy tomato broth topped with arugula. The sea bass skin was crispy which made it even more scrumptious! The spice of the sauce was an extra delight! My husband had beef short rib with roasted potatoes and broccolini. He loved the combination of the vegetables! We both had clean plates. We passed on dessert even though we know they are also awesome.

    We were worried about bringing our toddler, but the staff were so kind and accommodating. We had the best waiter! All our dishes were delicious and fresh - appetizer, mains, and desserts (and even the bread). Loved our experience here celebrating a birthday. It was genuinely such a happy memory. We will be coming back more often for sure!

    Great food, great service, great experience! It’s always tough deciding what to order at Z Cucina, but you’ll always end up with something delicious no matter what you end up choosing. The menu changes seasonally, and I’d highly recommend checking out the seasonal options whenever you visit, but the goat cheese and sundried tomato ravioli remain a favorite with me and the guests I’ve taken there. The service is wonderful, and the dishes are pretty reasonably priced for the portion and quality you receive. Overall, highly recommend visiting if you live in Columbus or if you’re visiting the city.
