The meatballs were outstanding—tender and bursting with flavor, easily among the best I've ever had! However, I was slightly disappointed with the Z House salad. Given that it’s advertised as a restaurant specialty, it lacked excitement and could have benefited from a touch of sweetness to give it more flair. Next, we tried the braised ravioli, which was fantastic. The ravioli was cooked perfectly al dente, and the pomodoro sauce was the highlight of the meal—it was absolutely delicious. We also had the New York white pie, which was really good—not too thick or flimsy, just right. For dessert, we ordered espresso martinis and bananas foster. The bananas foster was rich and gooey, and I enjoyed it, although my dining companion thought it was a bit overpowering. As for the espresso martinis, they could have used a bit more espresso; they tasted a bit too sweet due to the excess Kahlua. The restaurant itself is charming and beautifully decorated, and the restrooms were clean. I would definitely return to try more dishes, as I had a great time overall. Despite a few minor issues, the experience was quite positive.

We started with the pimento cheese and hummus, which is great for sharing among 2 to 4 people, and a salad before our main courses. I ordered the special of stuffed trout with chorizo and crab. It was tasty, but after seeing the salmon, I kind of wished I had ordered that instead. I also got the sea bass, but unfortunately, it turned out to be halibut due to supply issues; however, it was still prepared the same way. To finish off our meal, we shared a slice of coconut pie. It was sweet and had a lovely graham cracker crust. It was wonderful!

All of this food, especially the ravioli and noodles, was out of this world good. I will always keep this place in mind if I ever go anywhere else for Italian. It really takes the cake. The owner is also very present and attentive and came to speak to us during our dinner and asked how it was. I will be coming back

I would recommend the Ribeye steak Florentine style and the house special dessert Banana Foster, you won?t go wrong. Everything on the menu is wellmade and taste delicious. 5 stars. Only thing I would suggest is they improve their coffee menu.
