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.

Zingari average food condescending waiter. – The hostess was pleasant, but when we were seated the waiter treated us like an inconvenience. He was too busy doting the older group that was on their way to the theatre. I guess we didn't look like we would be good tippers and as the minutes ticked by and his condescending attitude wore on his tip got smaller. The food was very average and not very flavorful. When I asked for water with lemons he brought me two little wedges and got an attitude with me on whether or not I wanted... read more

A wonderful Dining Experience – I found this restaurant on open table and made a reservation. I was going to see a show at 8 PM just a block away from the restaurant. Due to some traffic problems I arrived at 6.30 Pm for 6.00 PM reservation. The manager/host greeted me graciously and showed me our table. We told them that we had only one hour and 15 minutes to eat. Our server Steffano was wonderful. He served us a our three course prix fixed meal in that time frame and also invited us back to their Jazz lounge after the show... read more

A delight for all your senses – You walk in, you are greeted graciosly, ambiance of the dining room is exquisite, food and service that follows is very good. Good size portions and they are beautifully presented. No wonder they were so busy. Better make reservations. We started with a Chilled Seafood Platter and Beked Mozzarella wrapped with Prosciutto. They were divine. We had Seafood Risotto and Wild Boar Ossobuco for main course, they so tasty that i can't wait to go back. This is a winner all the way. And they do have li... read more
