Best Authentic Restaurants in Lansdowne

Dining here was a superb experience. I recommend it.

I took my wife out for date night recently and we went to Zeffirelli. I read great reviews so decided to try it. Service was phenomenal. Not much waiting and there was a certain amount of attention that our host gave us that made our time memorable. We had the Caesar salad and Calamari & Zucchini to start. Loved them both. I enjoyed the size of the calamari. My wife had Ravioli and I had the Pollo alla Romana. Both dishes were great and filling. The restaurant gives off a real authentic vibe and is romantic. Perfect location for a date. I look forward to going back.

The food is always great, but this time the service was a little rocky. I think our waitress was new. We had a party of seven and taking orders was chaotic for her, though we went in order in a circle she missed a few orders and walked away before asking everyone to order. We had to flag down to come back. She also did not check on us often and we all ran out of drinks multiple times. Overall, the food was good, as usual, but we’ve definitely had better service in the past.

We are regulars and so are a lot of other people. The food is high quality and service is excellent. We have known the family have been running it for so long, it’s like having dinner among old friends. The place was packed the night we were there last and there was live music and that is why I rated noise level a little high on this review. I recommend making reservations if going for dinner. Lunch usually isn’t as busy.

Love this place ! Great ambiance . Will definitely be back
