    The food was really underwhelming. Small portions and odd taste to little taste. Service was sloppy and overly casual for the environment.

    Amazing dinner at La Zozzona. We dined in the private dining room that overlooks the kitchen so you can watch the wonderful food being prepared. Fabulous dinner and wonderful wine list. We will defiantly be back! Thanks so much for wonderful hospitality.

    We had high expectations for our first experience at La Zozzona, based on what we heard from early reviews, the previous success of Chef Blais, and the photos from their website and social media. Our dinner far exceeded those expectations and we cannot wait to return. To start, the bar & lounge which first greets you is stunning, with the right combination of luxury, proper lighting, and design. Our two variations on a Negroni, the Blood Orange Negori and Oaxacan Negroni, were perfect and served by the most welcoming and professional mixologists - Josh and Kaitlin. Once seated, our server Jake proceeded to explain the menu to us, noting a few key highlights, including the burrata, squash blossoms, rigatoni, and swordfish. We ordered all four. The burrata and squash blossoms were among the best either of us have ever had. Same goes for the rigatoni. Now, whatever you think you know about swordfish, disregard. I don’t think I had ordered swordfish in maybe twenty years and I am glad we did this evening. It was almost steak-like in its seated outside, tender inside texture. And the flavor was like nothing I have ever experienced with fish. The sommelier Ben even helped us choose the best wines by the glass to pair with our meal and he nailed it. I highly recommend La Zozzona next time you’re in the mood for fine dining Italian.

    It could benefit from table linens for a more elegant atmosphere, but they invested in beautiful marble tables so I get why they choose to showcase them. All surfaces in the interior are hard except for the booths, so the noise level on a moderately busy evening was very loud. Only complaint about the service was our entrees were served before we finished our salads, so the table was full of plates - it's a sensitive balance to pay close attention to course timing when dining at a restaurant of this caliber. Everything else was a pleasure.

    Thank you for your review Timothy! I agree with you. Timing of courses is essential to great service and I'm sorry to hear we fell short in that regard. I do hope you choose to dine with us again so we can show you the correct pacing of service. Happy Holidays, Zach McGrath General Manager

    Disappointing to say the least.. had high expectations but just overall underwhelmed. We were seated at the worst table in the restaurant, all the way in the back next to the emergency double door and some long hallway. The table had no business even being apart of the floor plan. Service staff was fine, nothing special. Pasta was cooked well. We didn’t stay for dessert

    Wonderful experience. Mozzarella log was outstanding. Had the chicken Marsala which I will order again when we return. We ate early and the restaurant was almost empty but it started to fill up when we were finished. Signage indicating where the restaurant is located could be improved.

    Good Afternoon Duwayne, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our mozzarella log and chicken marsala. We're looking forward to welcoming you back to La Zozzona soon. I also appreciate your feedback about signage. This is something I agree with and am actively working on getting installed. Hopefully it will be up by the next time you visit! Happy Holidays, Zach McGrath General Manager

    The remodeled resturant just recently opened with the new chef. Overall it was a very good experience & we will be back. Minor criticism is I think table clothes would elevate the restaurant & with 6 of us, a round table would have been more desirable but they don’t offer many. The food was very good & reasonable for this quality although hopefully they will expand the menu in time. Burrata excellent, focaccia tasty & meatballs for appetizers were delicious. Ordered 2 meatball aps for the 6 of us & one wasn’t hot 🤷🏼‍♀️ but still great flavor. The steaks were wonderful and pastas good. The pasta was cooked aldente which we prefer more cooked which they gladly accommodated. Desserts were alright with sparse offerings. Huge disappointment was the parking situation at the Hyatt…valet was completely full so you had to park in a distant lot and take the shuttle. For this caliber of a property, they should have opened more valet options utilizing the lot for more 5 star service. Huge miss for management with that.

    Good Evening Cheryl, Thank you for your feedback. We're thrilled you enjoyed our food and service, and we appreciate your suggestions for improvement. We're also sorry for the inconvenience with the valet parking. That is something we are working on correcting and it should be fixed before your next visit. We hope to serve you again soon! Cheers!

    The food was amazing and our server was above board. Tables for two are big, which means you are far from your partner, it was hard to hear because it is louder in the restaurant. It is a brand new restaurant, but it does take a significant amount of time to get things from the bar so order early. Plan extra time when arriving as well. The Hyatt host a lot of events and when they do you get pushed to alternate parking a block and a half away. They have a shuttle, but the line was 35 people deep. We walk there faster than the first shuttle, but that was not great and we ended up late for our reservation. Not a good way to start the evening.
