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
Nothing to write home about – We ate at Zingari only once, in May of 2005, so it's been awhile. To be fair, it may have gotten better since then. However, we were rather disappointed. The food was pretty good and the service just fine. Actually, our waitress was very nice and brought me a different entree when the first one, though prepared properly, just had too much saffron for my personal taste. I didn't ask her to take it back, but when she realized I didn't really care for it she insisted. So that was a nice gesture. Ho... read more
Fantastic Italian Waiter – so I arrived pre-theater with my date and walked up to the host stand where I was greeted by I'm guessing either the manager or sommelier (I neglected to ask) and after asking which reservation I was he inquired as to whether we wanted the obnoxious Italian as our waiter. Just as he asked, the waiter (I later found out his name is Stefano) said to us "Ah its been a long time glad you're back" even though he obviously knew we'd never been there. We got to our table which was a nice little window tab... read more
Zingari, restaurant with an attitude – My comments are a "mixed bag"; our waitress seemed indifferent to being of service to customers. She brought the wrong wine to me; indicated that the kitchen was out of anchovies for my husband's Caesar salad; seemed annoyed that we asked for salt and pepper--none was on the table and she seemed to need reminding that parmesan cheese would be a nice accompaniment to the pasta. There was nothing on the menu that indicated a fixed price dinner--which would have been ordered had we seen it... read more
Avoid Zingari period! – My brother and I both live in the City and both eat out a fair amount. We thought it would be nice to take our parents to dinner prior to going to a play. ZIngari was our 3rd choice after the previous two restaurants we called had no reservations. This should have been a sign to stay away. We arrived and we're seated promptly. We informed the host that we were attending a play at 8:00 PM. It was 6:00 PM when we arrived. It took 20 minutes for the waiter to return after we ordered drinks. After we orde... read more
Tourist trap - stay away – I live in the Bay Area, and have walked past this restaurant lots of times, and it looks pretty from the outside - so last night we gave it a try. What a mistake! Food was mediocre, service was poor, and worst of all the "crowd" was a handful of rude tourists staying in the hotel upstairs. Needless to say, I'll never be back.
