Great Food, Great Customer Service – Zingari Ristorante is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco, not only the food is great, the customer service is excellent. You get to be treated special by the owner himself. The menu selection is awesome. The restaurant itself is located in the heart of the city, close to tourist spots and walking distance to beautiful hotels and shopping stores. It is a must to visit, when you are in the "city by the bay".

Horrible experience – While visiting the city we were anticipating a wonderful dining experience at Zingari's. Lo and behold it was a disaster. Times like this you wish you could refuse to pay the bill. In short, the food was marginal in flavor and taste but I ordered an expensive chicken pasta dinner and after digging around I found 3 tiny pieces of chicken. After asking the server if this was a reasonable portion (ha!) she said no but made no effort to get more chicken or take the dish back and prepare it again. After aski... read more

Truely Memorable Valantines Day Dinner – Just a couple of weeks ago i took my wife to Zingari on Valanatines day. A friend of mine had recommended this restaurant. We both had the most memorable dining experience. Even though we were 20 minutes late for our reservation, we were greeted warmly and promptly guided to our table. Our server was most knowledgeable and seemed experienced. He paced our meal very nicely and the manager often checked on us to ensure our satisfaction. I tried the Lamb chops that was special that eveni... read more

Not the best option for new years eve – - I had made a reservation for dinner with my wife over 3-4 weeks ago for new years eve. We were seated 45minutes late (as were many other couples in the restaurant). In general I felt that the reception staff didn't seem very courteous when I asked about our table every 15minutes. - The table we were sat at was very small and didn't adequately provide enough space for our meal and drinks. - The food was ok, but for the price $95/person plus 18% gratuitity (you can't write your tips in... read more

Great Food, Beautifully Presented, Knowledgable and Friendly Service – I live in Palo alto and very rarely go into city. Last Friday we were going to see Jersy boys so a friend of mine who lives in San Francisco recommended Zingari for dinner. We reached there at 6 PM and were warmly greeted and shown to our table. The restaurant is very tastefully done and gives a very cozy and confortable feeling. Soon the waiter came and explained the specials and asked if were going to Theatre so he could time the service accordingly. Wh... read more

Not recommended – My girlfriend and I were deeply disappointed with our dining experience at Zingari. On Thanksgiving we had a price fix dinner at One Market for 59. per each. For Christmas day Zingari charged 55. each. They are far from being in the same class as One Market. One of our appetizers was sent back twice for not being warm enough. They claimed they were real busy. Great restaurants don't use that excuse becauese they don't need to. The food was unremarkable. This was one of the most unsatisfying meals in my 18+ ... read more

Classic northern Italian cuisine served to the sounds of live jazz. – In Short Located in the Donatello Hotel, this upscale eatery attracts both Union Square tourists and locals gearing up for a night at the theater. Entrees include pastas like fettuccine with prawns and gypsy peppers, and meat dishes, such as osso bucco over mushroom and zucchini risotto. The adjoining piano bar hosts live jazz acts nightly and serves a menu of bar appetizers in the afternoon and evening.

Great Italian Food combined with friendly & knowledgable service – We were four couples celebrating a birthday and had a wonderful dining experience at Zingari. Not only the food was presented beautifully, it tasted great and our server made great recommendations for sharing appetizers and helping us choose wines that were not too expansive and yet went great with the food we had. The service was totally non obstrusive, food was well paced and the ambiance was great. After dinner out waiter invited us to their Jazz lounge an... read more
