I had the best time at Zanti. The food is extremely delicious. We had the pleasure of meeting Brian and he is by the far the best server I have ever had in a restaurant. I don’t return to most restaurants after eating there once. However I will always go back to Zanti

This was our first time trying North Italia and we absolutely will be returning. The waiter did a great job with recommendations and was extremely kind. We had the calamari and shrimp scampi as appetizers and they were both amazing! Then of course we had to try the vodka pasta and squid ink SOOOO good! We will definitely be returned very soon!

Start to finish everything was incredible. We had the classics and also branched out to new items. The beet dish was the hit of the night! The spaghetti al limone was perfection.
