We always love Zanata. I had a great time hanging with my friend. I wish they had a bigger bar so more people could sit there because I think it’s always fun to sit there. The service did slow down a bit, but I guess...Read More

We love Zanata, and it’s our go-to where we know we can get delicious food and great service. The only downside is that sometimes there’s a lengthy wait because everyone else feels the same way! I’ve never been disappointed, and we love their weekly specials.

Excellent tomato basil soup. The potato chunks were cooked to perfection. Seasoned just right, a little crispy on the outside, smooth consistency inside. Highly recommended!!! 😋🤤
