Best Cozy Restaurants in Pineville

Made last minute reservations and they were able to get us in. We were seated right away in a busy area but we still were able to have normal conversation and enjoy the time together. We had Mussels in Red Sauce that were nice and garlicky. Mussels cooked perfectly. Side Ceasar salad which was just enough and didn’t fill me up. Then the main dishes of Seafood over Squid Ink pasta for my wife and Short rib Ravioli for me. Both dishes were wonderful. On to the Canoli and Cappucinio for dessert. Spot on again! Our server was attentive, very pleasant but not hovering. We asked for our food to served slowly so we could enjoy conversation. Boom. Done. We have been to Zinicola multiple times now and it never dissapoints.

The food and service were outstanding! Truly! It was a little hard to hear my friend talking across the table, though. There was a great energy in the restaurant, but I probably prefer a little bit quieter space for conversation. I’d still return for the food and service, but it wouldn’t be a spot I’d pick for serious catching up given the acoustics are a bit on the loud side.

Liz our server was fantastic as always, food was delicious and a great value

We’ve eaten here several times and enjoyed it. Great food and service.

Amazing dining experience with our 9 and 12 year old boys for our 17th anniversary. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive (and complimentary of our kiddos). The food was delicious. It was a "don't hold back" date night out, so the 9 year old enjoyed the most delicious prime rib and creme brulee while the 12 year old loved his special ' double shrimp' pasta and baked Alaska. Trio Meatloaf and the filet also were very tasty. We already have plans to come back for the next special family occasion to try the BLT pizza and other desserts we missed!
