Happy new year from Zaza "s! Another amazing night at my favorite spot. If you haven't been here you don't know what you're missing.
This review is for your incredible hostess, Ellie. As local business owners with over a decade of experience in the service industry, starting from bussing and hosting to serving and bartending, we immediately recognize talent and value in an employee--and Ellie is exceptional. She's polite, authentic, kind, and clearly dedicated to providing an outstanding customer experience. My husband and I are regulars at Za Za's, often ordering takeout because the bolognese, vodka sauce, and everything else we've tried never disappoints. On a busy Saturday night, Ellie impressed us by efficiently managing a packed restaurant without missing a beat. Despite the chaos, she made sure my takeout order was handled promptly and with care. Her composure under pressure speaks volumes, and I have no doubt she'd provide exceptional service as a bartender or waitress too.
Yeah!!! They don't make 'em like this anymore!!! True old school vibe with pics of old Hollywood stars on all the walls. DiMaggio and Monroe, Sinatra and Martin, Audrey Hepburn ... nice, quiet, authentic and romantic if that's what you are looking for. A few tables outside under a light filled pergola if that feeds your soul!! Great service,,although come earlier in evening as kitchen closes at 9 pm on weekdays, ended up feeling kinda rushed, but food was great and atmosphere is inviting to stay a while. Anyway, if you are in NW Chicago area and looking for nice spot to enjoy some food Italian food in casual on old school atmosphere, this is it. Sampled the classic sausage and peppers app, and the filet with creamy risotto. Not best I've ever had (the filet was just a bit undercooked for MR) but good enough to come back for the atmosphere and try something else on the extensive menu. Wine list just okay .. could use plenty more Italian reds and whites by the glass honestly. Started with a Valipolicella glass, then went with 2017 Uggiani Brunello bottle that was nice. I'd have way more Brunello and Barbaresco and Barolo labels on the menu and a few Chianti Riverva's if this was my place. But all-in-all , a solid evening.
Absolutely delicious! Beautiful ambiance and the food was outstanding. Service was a bit slow but they were busy. We will definitely go back and sit outside.
Zsa-Zsa's never disappoints. In all the years I have been coming here, only once was the food less than fantastic. They made it right. Oh, The stuffed shrimp appetizer is to die for.
This place is a Lake Barrington staple. Often you will see the +55 crowd here due to its close proximity to LBS retirement community. The Italian food is very good here! Caesar Salad and bread are delicious. The crème brûlée for dessert was top notch! The decor very romantic, inviting and warm. The bar is great if you like to talk to the staff while you enjoy your meal. The whole place has pictures of the Rat Pack and other famous faces which is always fun to look at.
Great local spot near Lake Barrington Shores & Tower Lakes. Have eaten and drank many of times. Martinis (and any of there drinks) are of a higher quality level. Quality Italian Faire. Quality white table Service! Depending on what your looking for In Ambiance, they have various sections at this fine dining establishment. Looking forward to stopping by again, with friends & my Bride. Mangia & Cheers!
