Overall, great experience, atmosphere, and food. The only reason it didn’t receive a five star review is that we were looking at the website and saw the food we wanted to order, but when we got to the restaurant, they didn’t have any of the items we wanted and they explained that the menu changes monthly and their web site provider wasn’t updating the online menu.
Will definitely go back, but will be now better informed.

We sat at the bar and had a great service with a smile. Other people coming in were greeted by name. We had the lobster ravioli – delicate and creamy – plenty of lobster and wonderful. The chicken Marsala was expertly flavored and wasn’t overwhelming. The chicken was tender and the pasta cooked perfectly. Would recommend and will go back!!!

Very good fresh homemade food portion size was decent. I had chicken saltimbocca and my parents had chicken marsala. The atmosphere was very quaint.

The food here was absolutely delicious! I ordered the chicken caprese and the chicken was just melt in your mouth! Combined with the balsamic reduction snd the Cappellini pasta it was to die for! A little pricey but the staff was wonderful, even offering an Albanian wedding soup (which was also heavenly) as an appetizer. If you’re in the area I highly recommend this place for a nice intimate dinner!

Service was pleasant, efficient and timely. The appetizers were the stars. Artichokes and Arincini were great. Their menu is not huge but well done. Prices are reasonable. Did not have dessert

Zini’s is hands down the best Italian food that I have ever eaten in my life. From the homemade oil to the entrees (Chicken Marsala and chicken parm are of favorite) and desserts everything is seriously so delicious. The drinks are outstanding too, specially the espresso martini! Would recommend this restaurant to every single person and can’t wait to come back!!

Let me preface this review by saying to anyone reading – the food and location are excellent! I’ve visited on slow days for lunch over the Summer, and you’ll scarcely find a better meal in the area! I would still recommend Zini’s wholeheartedly. However, my experience yesterday evening was a bit disappointing by comparison, and may help readers here with considerations to set realistic expectations about best times and nights to visit.
My wife and I visited with her family (5 people total) for dinner on Saturday night. It was her birthday weekend, so we made a reservation somewhere that we were confident I had the great food I described above. However, after our 6:15 p.m. seating and order shortly thereafter, we waited over an hour for the food. And that wouldn’t be as huge an issue, but after finishing our water and the bottle of wine we ordered during that time, we received very little server attention, and no updates about the status of our meal until I asked around 7:30 p.m, and it arrived shortly thereafter. While there were a few issues with respect to plating requests, the food was great, as expected, and dessert was prompt.
It seemed clear that the staff was unexpectedly busy with a full house of guests, but it was still disappointing that there was little proactive communication about the status of our food, or the check-ins that one might expect for a ~$70/pp dinner.
I’ll definitely be stopping by in the future, but with a bit more proactivity & specificity on my part to plan for timing accordingly. I hope to update this review positively after that!

We have a men’s group which goes out to dinner once a month and this month we decided on Zini’s. Excellent food, service and atmosphere across the board and special thanks to Marlee for taking care of us for the evening! You’re the best!! This place is a gem in Bantam and highly recommend.
