User review by dimples6477 – I agree that this restaurant would not even be recommended if it were the last place on earth. The hostess was a snob, the waitress didn't even speak English, the full bar couldn't even make a martini and did not have Apple Pucker to make an Apple Martini, and the food was not worth the expensive pricing. My Linguine Vongole was soooo salty and the clams were filled with sand. It was probably the worst meal I have had in a long time. And to think that I paid $$$$ to be tortured with disgusting fo... read more

Not Impressed At All – This is an uppity Italian place, if you like lasagna or spaghetti with meatballs and a regular Caesar salad you won't like this place. The ambiance and our servers were great, but I was not impressed with the food at all. I had a filet that looked like the burnt end of a rump roast and tasted awful and was tough. The appetizers were nothing to write home about either. But the drinks were good and strong. However, I'm not one for "fancy food" and this place definitely had the "fancy food". I was here wi... read more

Worst experience in the city – We went to Zingari on Christmas night for a special dinner. To my dismay, the service was so atrocious that I could barely enjoy my meal. I am a patient person with much understanding, but what I experienced was beyond what I can normally handle. Our waiter was not only absent minded, returning to retake our orders repeatedly, but also rude. He actually told us that he was drunk. When I finally asked about our meal, after waiting at least forty-five minutes, he haughtily said it was coming. It ... read more

Worst Valentine's Dinner Ever – This was the second time that I have dined at Zingari and definitely the last. Except for the host and hostess at the restaurant, everyone else was either rude or indifferent. I understand that it was V-Day and crowded but we spent over $200 for a meal that was so bad, we went out for pizza afterwards. My meat, for the second time, was overcooked and tasteless. When we mentioned that the food was not good to the waiter, he simply said, "Sorry. " Whatever! I will never go there again!!

As if I was in Italy – Excellent food and warm & gracious hospitalty awaits you at the gem of a restaurant. It reminded me of my dining experiences in Italy. I found this place on the web as I was looking to find a place near the Curran theatre. I had not heard about this place, but I thought I will give a try. It was a wonderful dining experience. Food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the service was friendly and efficient. It seems like everybody I came in touch with, truely cared about my dining experience. I ... read more

The next best thing to being in Italy – What a wonderful Italian restaurant. A friend recommended this restaurant and I went there this past Friday. The food exceeded my expectations, service was most friendly & personable that I have ever experienced. Its a small restaurant, so it is perfect for intimate dinners where you get plenty of attention. There lounge was featuring Live Jazz that sounded great. I wish had more time as I needed to be some where after our dinner. I found out that they have live Jazz seven nights a wee... read more

It doesn't get any better – I was there this past New Year's eve with my girl friend, and they had arranged a wonderful three course meal with dancing to a Jazz band. The whole experience was tremendous. Dinner was delicious, service was superb, ambiance with all the new year eve decorations was festive and band was just incredible. I usually don't dance that much, burt I couldn't stop dancing that evening. I had so much that both my girl friend & I decided that we are going there on Valantines's day. Oh by the way the whole... read more

Zingari: next best thing to being there. – The best "traditional" northern Italian cuisine this side of Tuscany. Professional, yet personable service, nice decor, both in the "Florence" room and the windowed dining room overlooking Post St., showcase the stellar preparations of the head chef. A fine wine list featuring many hard to find Italian labels makes this undiscovered restaurant a rare treasure.
