Zeoli's Modern Italian

I reaaally wanted this place to be better. It's a convenient location and looks inviting from the outside.Inside, however, it feels more like a generic sports bar than a cool modern Italian restaurant. The service was slow and the food was just okay -- I had the spicy pizza and it just didn't taste super fresh. The wine selection is not horrible, but a bit short and uninspired. One of those places that's just... there. I'd go again if I was in the area for another reason and just needed a quick bite, but I'm not sure I'd plan for it in advance as a dinner destination.

Almost four and a half years later so it's time to update my review! The last time I came here, in January 2020, I remember everything was good but nothing was great or particularly stood out. This time, everything was delicious, and service was also superb. My friend and I came here for dinner tonight and we weren't super hungry so we got a few things to share. It turned out it was happy hour (M-Fri, 3-6pm) so our $8.50 fried zucchini was only $4.25 (half off). We also split the chicken saltimbocca (Chicken Salti, the menu calls it), for $21; truffle fries ($6); and their cannoli platter, which includes two huge cannolis ($6). My bill was $19.74 before tip, which is pretty amazing considering we split an appetizer, large entree, large plate of fries, and two GIGANTIC cannolis.I have to say the cannoli was among the best I've had, also: it was positively stuffed with ricotta and cream, and topped with raspberry and chocolate sauce. In Boston you'd pay $6 for just one of those, and Zeolis gives you TWO.I live in the neighborhood and needless to say I will be back. Everything was very, very good this time.

The bene bread and salad is good here. Loved the sauce, so you might want to ask for more! I didnt like the aperol spiritz drink. It taste like medicine to me. I went on a Saturday afternoon in Feb 2024. It was a bar crawl for Jess. It was a slow day when i arrived but after i ordered, the place got full. They needed more staff to help in my opinion; but they did their best and my waitress was nice and helpful. It wasn't until I was ready to checkout that it was an issue. I couldn't see her or flag her down until i walked to the door. She was busy though and people were everywhere.

This place was unexpectedly great. Great italian food (for when you crave it most), family friendly (and kid friendly) atmosphere, wonderful service, spacious seating, clean bathrooms, good lighting, warm environment in an otherwise freezing outside. Got the Shrimp and Scallop Fettuccine and Four seasons pizza. These were on point. The pasta was a mix b/t red and white sauce and was very flavorful without being too fatty (or at least feeling too fatty) and not too salty. It did not leave me feeling gross like most Italian places do. In my opinion, a little on the pricey side but worth it if you haven't tried this dish to at least try it once, it's good! Also portion is generous. The pizza was unique. Bread, cheese. No sauce. Fried egg in middle. Lovely - and used it to mop up the remaining sauce in the shrimp pasta. Again not too heavy with an excellent blend of flavors. I liked the atmosphere with its dim lighting. All staff were friendly. Our kid was happy with his pasta. Made a mess but that just means he enjoyed it that much. Tables were spaced in a way that was not too crowded. Bathrooms were clean and again very spacious (it's things like this that I really appreciate since I am tall). Service was prompt. Price point is average and not over the top. I'm not an Italian food person but I'll be back.

Cute automotive aesthetic with bar seating, tables and booths. Chairs are a little loud when they scrape the floors but the noise level wasn't that bad. We came on a Thursday night at around 6pm (we just missed Happy Hour which is 3-6pm M-F). We got in at a good time, because it filled up fast afterward. We all enjoyed our food and said we would come back again.

Food is just ok. We shared the Italian apple salad, which was very good, and nice amount for two.We also shared a pizza with pepperoni, the smaller one, also perfect for two. It was decent but not the most delicious ever pizza. Our server was very good & polite.The place is unbelievably LOUD. Two can barely hear each other. When people move chairs to get in out & the loud screeching is unbearable. Really obnoxious.They seem to have their fans though & were fairly busy in the front half of the restaurant. Wish we had asked to sit on the patio in a beautiful evening, because for as loud as it was inside, I don't want to go back.

Another amazing experience at Zeoli's. The food is always fresh and the service is always wonderful Ordered was the kids pizza, cheese tortellini, fried zucchini sandwich, antipasto salad, and espresso cheesecake. All were soo yummy and the kids pizza is a pretty big portion (enough for two kids to share!).Tip: get the zucchini appetizer sauce on the side of the sandwich. You'll thank me later!

How had I not known about Zeoli's before now?!!There were 5 of us and we all liked our choices!I had a wonderful green bean Gorgonzola with a wonderfully flavored lemon vinaigrette dressing, perfectly tossed. I am sorry not to have a pic to share! Dark greens and lemony light dressing. Plenty of green beans, some red Onion and perfect amount of Gorgonzola! Enjoyed every bite until it was gone. Next up, vegetable marinara w zucchini noodles! As requested, chef spiced up mine perfectly! Still had a few shakes of their red pepper :) I cooked up some of my pasta and enjoyed the leftovers today. Sauce was even better than yesterday. Two whole tomatoes from the dish added to remaining veggie marinara SO GOOD!!For dessert, tiramisu that was perfectly balanced between choco, coffee and whipped cream flavors and consistency I will be back for the veggie marinara for take out as that was the best I've had in a long time!! Waitstaff super friendly, passed thru a few times to make sure all was well! It was quiet on Monday when we met at 4:15p. Value for the money and well worth going!!

My wife and I went here for lunch the other day. The restaurant is very clean and the staff I was kind. Our server kept our drinks full and the food didn't take long. We both order a pizza and they were a pretty good size. I wasn't able to finish mine. My wife had the cheese pizza and I had the spicy Italian pizza. I thought the pizza was very good. I plan on adding Zeoli's to our date night rotation.

This is not top shelf, expensive dining, but I'm giving it five stars because the food is always very, very good and the prices are pretty reasonable. And the staff has always been very friendly when I've been there. It's a perfect place that slots well above good bar food but avoids going to an overly expensive place. If you just want some really good dinner choices at a reasonable price that's better than going to some average chain restaurant This is the place. We've had the various apps, the pizza, the ravioli, the spaghetti, the seafood linguine... They were all excellent dishes. We also had a catered event here and it was very reasonably priced and the buffet they served was outstanding and got a lot of good comments. It's unassuming from the outside, but it serves surprisingly good food at reasonable prices with good and friendly servers. This kind of combination doesn't happen by accident so my hats off to the owner, managers, cooks, bartenders, and servers to keep it performing on point.
