    It had been awhile since a visit to this restaurant, but they haven't lost their touch. Our meals were amazing and the service was outstanding. The seasonal fish dish of halibut was especially scrumptious, and the other diners' pasta dishes definitely tasted home made. Can't go wrong with a night out at Zarletti - it won't disappoint!

    Dinner at Zarletti was great. Our food was exceptional - loved the warm bread and olive oil/parm they brought out too! The service was prompt and frequent and we were very well tended to. Noise level was just right for a conversation with your tablemates but did tend to get close to too loud. Overall, a great dinner and would return!

    Our service was prompt. We had a nice table by the window. We had the ravioli special which was delicious as well as the Bolognese. Good selection of wines. It was difficult to find a bold red. Good variety on the menu.

    We were visiting our daughter from Chicago and picked this place fairly randomly. It was an excellent find. The food was amazing and the manager suggested a new wine from Mt. Etna that I had not tried and our table had two bottled during dinner and I bought two more to take home.

    Top notch service and food. I made a last minute reservation for 9 people and they accommodated us without hesitation. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and were able to accommodate dietary restrictions for members of my group. Highly recommend!
