- GGerryChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoOur meal was outstanding. We had the Parmesan crusted white fish with potatoes & roasted vegetables which I believe was the best meal ever. We ate dinner in the Speakeasy before the show and would go back again for dinnet even if we weren't attending a show.More infoClub Arcada 1920s SpeakeasyPrice: Expensive• Italian• St. Charles•4.7
- JJimmyPortland / Oregon •42 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI wish I was allowed to give La ZaZa Trattoria 10 stars because this place is fantastic! Everything cooked perfectly, great service and reasonable prices for what you get. The Wagyu Steak special was one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten, (cooked perfectly to order) and I’ve dined at some of the finest steakhouses in the country.
