ZAZA CUCINA

I went on a Sunday afternoon with my family . It wasn’t busy at all ( which I prefer since my children are little & can’t really wait too long). Everyone was extremely attentive . Our waiter Sal was super friendly , answered all my questions regarding the food & made sure our glasses were always full of water and that we had everything we needed . We ordered the sausage & ricotta pizza , a spicy pasta of some sort , and two kids meals .

So much food ! Portions were huge and everything was fresh. Pizza handmade , pasta , handmade , chicken tenders hand dipped , the sausage made in house - I mean wow ! Talk about giving you that home cooking kind of experience.

I wish I took pictures of that pasta I shared with my husband bc it was absolutely amazing ( to look at & eat) but it didn’t stand a chance as soon as it hit the table. That dish was gone in 5sec 😂. I def recommend this place.

My boyfriend and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary here on a Saturday evening. Our reservation was at 6:30 pm which I assumed would be a busy time. We were pleasantly surprised to be seated quickly and we given the choice of a table or booth. When we sat down, we were immediately provided with water, warm bread, plates, and silverware. Upon looking at the menus, my boyfriend chose to have a margarita and the 16 oz. Boneless ribeye. I chose the pomegranate cosmo and the chicken limón. We also shared an order of garlic bread. I cannot emphasize this enough, but all of the food was divine!! I cannot wait to come back and try some of their other dishes and drinks!!

Ordered Thanksgiving dinner for my family from here a week ago. The whole process was easy and all done over the phone. My order was ready on time for me to pickup. They treated me like family as they helped me get everything in the car and shared some tips on keeping it warm. Everyone loved the food and since we all live in the area, I'm sure we'll be spending more time at Zaza's. Thanks again for a memorable meal.

Our family ordered the Thanksgiving Dinner To Go for the first time ever. Let me say, this was the best ever. The ham and turkey was so juicy, their stuffing was the best I ever had. The string bean casserole and sweet potatoes was the sides that took it to another level. I know this sounds like I am exaggerated but I recommend this highly to everyone! My family is korean and we decided we are ordering all our holiday dinners from Zazas from now on. I forgot to mention the gravy!!!! Wow...just wow. Nice and fresh on the day of. Met with Joe and he is the nicest and super passionate about what he serves. He mentioned Christmas Eve will be available also and I just cannot wait. My family cannot wait.

The only negative is I wish Zaza was in my neighborhood.

I cannot understand the negative reviews. My friends and I went to ZAZA yesterday and we had an amazing experience. Food was delicious. My Paloma drink was spectacular. Our server was excellent. The owner was there and greeted us. We can't wait to go back!

Five friends enjoyed an early dinner which we all totally enjoyed. The food is excellent, atmosphere is lovely and comfortable. The staff is attentive but not pushy. It was our first experience but all of us want to come back to try more menu options.

My wife and I almost didn't go to Za Za's due to some of the recent mixed reviews; however, that would have been a big mistake. We had an excellent meal and outstanding service. Upon arrival, we were treated warmly. Our server, Sal, was perfectly attentive, friendly, and professional. The food was terrific, especially the swordfish special. It was a large portion and very flavorful. It was a lively crowd but not too noisy. We will definitely be back. Not sure if others caught them on an off night or they've stepped up their game, but this was a GREAT dinner.

We stopped in zaza's cucina at Touhy avenue in Park ridge to have a quick bite to eat and it was fantastic. Rich was our server and he really helped us learn about the diverse Italian menu. We decided on the three meatballs in polenta as well as the arancini appetizer and these were absolutely fantastic! They had a large selection of wines from all over the world and we definitely will be coming back!

We were sitting on the patio outside we lived, but that was hidden behind trees from the street, so romantic and great for the couple.
Octopus and halibut were delicious melting in our mouths. The spices and variety of flavor were incredible.
Well, definitely come back here and highly recommend this place to our friend.
Come over, you won't be disappointed .

The Absolute Best Restaurant for private events, or just Dine out in style, their well taken care patio conveys an Italian Authetinc Vibe and their food is the most delicious ..and we have been to many restaurants in town but this one tops it all! Highly Recommend! We ll be back soon!

Lovely restaurant! Newly opened with great atmosphere. You can sit at the bar or in a booth or on the patio. I loved the bruschetta, the tomatoes and basil were very fresh. I also had the Rigatoni Vodka and tiramisu - all highly recommended. Staff was very friendly. Overall a great experience.

Phenomenal service, superbly delicious tomahawk, cooked exactly the way we wanted it! Great bread, appetizers were perfectly paired honeycomb and ricotta.

Our dental office has an annual holiday party in the winter. With everyone’s busy schedules Zaza was able to accommodate our last minute reservation. We originally were a party of 20 but because of the recent snow storm our party was cut in half. They were very understanding and always communicated with us. The ceiling was beautiful, the over all look and feel of this restaurant was top notch. The food presentation was beautiful and overall everything was delicious. We all finished our food! Wine and cocktails were also great. Some cocktails are over killed with sugar but this bar tender knew what he was doing. Our waiter was very attentive. I wish I remembered his name but you know who you are if you read this. Thank you for the experience, we had a great time and it’s definitely memorable.

I catered from here last night and everything was delicious! We had the chicken limone and roasted potatoes. Best I ever had! It’s nice because they do half or full pans. I ordered for Christmas Eve last year as well and it was all perfect. On time and all very fresh.
We also had the arancini for an appetizer. I kept them crispy and everything else hot in a 250• oven until my guests arrived. Joe is great, he follows up too just to
make sure everything is good. 👍

I was pleasantly surprised that they make their own gluten free noodles and gluten free pizza dough! The food is fabulous and I can’t wait to come back to try the GF pizza. I also loved their bacon wrapped dates so much I forgot to take a picture! Their Martini list looked great.

Great balcony outdoor seating area, ambience, and service. Nick the barman always makes you feel welcomed. Tons of drink choices, appetizers and signature dishes. Amazing pizza crust.

Second time here and I’ll definitely be going back. Every dish has been excellent. Highly recommend the Winter Risotto and Burrata Caprese Salad. Last time, we tried the Chicken Limone and Garden Salad. I don’t think you can go wrong with any pick! Service was fantastic also.

Delicious appetizers, meal and cocktails! Very good and friendly service. Their indoor space and outdoor patio are both beautiful!

really great food, don't drink so i can't speak to the libations that are served but the spicy tortellini is the reason i keep coming back.... highly recommend

Food was amazing! Ambiance was great. And service was superb!
Will definitely be back! (Dug right into our dinners, we forgot to take pix of our actual meals)!
