    From the time we walked in until the time we left, we were greeted with a staff that showed a genuine interest in the guests. Our waitress was a delight and the food did not stop surprising us. The flavors and presentation were lovely. There were just a couple things we would have tweaked otherwise the meal and a few other ratings would have been a 5 star. Overall, the experience was great and yes, we would come back.

    Always feels like we're on vacation when we go to Zarletti's even though we're in our home town. Top notch all around.
