    I took my wife out for date night recently and we went to Zeffirelli. I read great reviews so decided to try it. Service was phenomenal. Not much waiting and there was a certain amount of attention that our host gave us that made our time memorable. We had the Caesar salad and Calamari & Zucchini to start. Loved them both. I enjoyed the size of the calamari. My wife had Ravioli and I had the Pollo alla Romana. Both dishes were great and filling. The restaurant gives off a real authentic vibe and is romantic. Perfect location for a date. I look forward to going back.

    I went to celebrate my one year anniversary with my GF and the service was fantastic. The servers made small conversations with us and checked on us often. Will definitely be coming back soon with a bigger party. Highly recommend if you love eating good food at a good price!

    Just a fair warning, this place is NOT kid friendly. It’s more on the formal side than casual. They were accommodating with our party that included 4 kids under 7yo and two adults. The bread basket was good, ordered fried burrata as an appetizer and the sauce that came with it tasted bland like it came out of a can. The lobster ravioli was generously filled with lobster meat but a little on the salty side. The kids loved their chicken Alfredo. The gnocchi and scampi monte cristo were good. Not worth $32 for the scampi for 6 pieces of shrimp. Service was slow and the server seemed irritated with us because of all the kids we had in tow, although they were behaved. We didn’t feel warmth from him so we tried our best to get out as soon as we could. Overall, not sure if the service or food might drive me back. Seems like a quaint spot for a date night or an adult-only outing.

    This was my husband’s and my first time at Zeffirelli, and it was a marvelous experience. The gentlemen wait staff are consummate professionals, and our primary server Pablo left no detail overlooked. I’m still marveling at all the little touches he orchestrated to ensure that my husband’s birthday was truly special. Needless to say, the meal was exquisite. Bravo!
