   Overall great experience. My dish came out and it wasn’t really hot. They took it back and brought me another, it was perfect. Good is good and this is def a step up for our area.

   We had a great experience at Zola's last night. The restaurant is decorated beautifully with a Florida vibe. I had a Cosmo and my husband had an Old Fashion. Both were great. We shared the Stuffed Hot Pepper for an appy which was very good. I had the Halibut Marechiara and my husband had the Bronzino. They were excellent and plentiful. The Tiramisu was amazing. We will definitely return.

   This was our first experience at Zola. We were greeted by a friendly staff and seated quickly. This was a weekday evening and there were only a few other tables. The service was relaxed, which was fine for our group of four. We all had the Branzino, which was properly cooked and delicious. The accompanying vegetables were also perfectly done. Our server could have been a bit more attentive, but overall, it was an enjoyable dinner with friends. We will likely be back.

   Great Italian style restaurant serving up an upscale dining experience. Free valet parking is available but they are clear that a tip is expected. The menu is great and the food is tasty and the portions are reasonable. Having just moved into the area, my husband and I drove by this restaurant and knew right away we needed to try this sexy place out for our anniversary dinner. this place will not disappoint even the most discerning of palates. We were blown away with every item we ordered from complex cocktails to scrumptious desserts, everything was delectably outstanding. What really took our culinary adventure to the next level was don the waiter , the very talented in-house sommelier, who guided us through the perfect pairing of wine for each course we ordered. Just wow! The service was as incredible as the food. We cannot wait to embark on our next gastronomic escapade!

   Came for the first time on Valentine's Day and immediately got into an argument with a valet parking guy , don't tell me that valet is mandatory and argue before I walk in the door . That is not the way to set the tone for the evening especially for something as stupid as valet parking. The rest of the evening went a lot better. I have been coming to this building for a very long time and it is nice to see a new restaurant open up . Our server was great and if she did not know an answer to a question she went and found out. Our meal and bottle of wine was very good. Two times someone tried giving us someone else plates , but it was very busy so I can understand that. Overall we will be going back , but this time I'm calling ahead to see if its valet parking again , for a parking lot this size it's ridiculous anyway

   We went on Valentine's Day and we had an early reservations. The food was really good the service was pretty good. Servers are attentive considering it was Valentine's Day. We ordered the specials appetizer, chicken Milanese and also the pasta specials. The amount of seafood was very generous. Overall we will go back and my husband said that it is the best Italian restaurant around the area.

   Food was middling to terrible. Veal parm was ok but shrimp/ fish scampi (the special) was atrocious. A greasy mess with no flavor. Service is horrible. We waited 30 minutes for a glass of wine, bottle of beer, Diet Coke and ice tea. Coke was served without the requested garnish of lime and that took another 40 minutes and two additional asks before we got it. As did the bread - multiple requests before it arrived. Each course was a long wait and it wasn’t that the staff was trying to not rush us. They were uncoordinated and slow. Dessert, one piece of cake and one cup of espresso was 40 minutes and I had to get up and hunt the waiter and manager down to get it. Portions are generous and my friend and I asked to take home what we couldn’t finish, instructing the waiter to make sure they are in separate containers and properly marked. They were labeled and it wasn’t until the next day that we found out the dishes were labeled incorrectly and we got the wrong food. Don’t bother going here. There are plenty of better places with much better food and service near by. Too bad.
