ZuZZu

Zuzza has a lot to offer as a restaurant. The food service and ambiance are all wonderful. Our food was great, most of my party got the tortellini on the special list and it was great. It was my first time ever having tortellini and what was so rich and savory, it made my mouth water. The restaurant itself is a smaller, quaint type of place and the service was really great. The wait time for the food was the only downside. Our food took about an hour and a half to come out which wasn't the best but the owner was very nice and even gave us two free deserts. Overall, it was a wonderful meal and I'd definitely recommend it!

My primary issue with Zuzzu is the cost. The place is pretty run down. Just look at the interior of their front door- it looks like it was beaten with a bike chain.C'mon--- $27 for a 5" square of eggplant parm?!?!? Last time I checked at Publix, eggplant was priced at about a buck per pound.While the eggplant parm tasted pretty good- I was unable to identify the main ingredient. It was so mushy. The complimentary bread they provided was awful. No crust. No texture. No flavor.

We often visited the "old Zuzzu" before it changed hands and it's become a very different experience. We loved the uniqueness of a small and local Italian and it's become just another chain like restaurant. They used to have some great unique wine off a wine list and the wine list is now very average. Gone is the warm fresh bread straight out of the pizza oven and replaced by supermarket like bread. The Caprese was excellent and the shrimp pasta had good flavors but very expensive for what was a very generic dish. Gone is the great Neapolitan pizza made from a pre-fermented dough and it's been replaced by something like a New York style flatbread with tasteless dough which I guess is made on the day. Overall the food and experience is fine but not worth the high prices. It's no longer something different or unique and lovers of the old Zuzzu will be disappointed.

We went for the first time on a Saturday night and the place really filled up quickly. The restaurant is located just outside the buzz zone of Canton Road and you don't need to pay to park! :-) The lot next the restaurant is very small, but there is plenty of parking right across the street.First I will compliment the food and the service - both were very good. This was a nice surprise - when you walk in the place looks like a pizzeria in the midst of being upgraded. Not a negative, but not what we expected when you review the website. The place is pretty small and the tables are fairly close. Food was priced well; the dish we wanted to try (scallops) was out of stock.While I see the place has been around for a while, a few suggestions -Our table's top was totally busted. Not the usual put a wedge to fix a crooked table, but the table itself was broken. Our server apologized and we were immediately offered a seat at the bar. We didn't want to sit at the bar - we reserved a table - so we decided to stick it out. Apparently the table has been broken for a while too. Fix it, replace it, or get rid of it.Service was good, but food delivery was ridiculously fast. We ordered and had our appetizers in a couple minutes - that is good. Our entrees came out, no joke, a couple minutes later. Again our server apologized, but we each had just had a couple bites of the appetizers and now the table was covered in plates. First time for us, but if you order - order your appetizers and after you are almost finished or finished, order your entrees. This was not enjoyable and we felt rushed and the table was small (and broken).We consolidated plates to make room, but only the server was clearing tables. She was serving most of the place herself, but there were a couple other people walking around just talking to people. It is a small place with small tables - everyone should help and grab empty plates, bottles, glasses as they walk around. I had to ask someone to clear the stack of plates and empty bottle we had on the table for 15 minutes. Our server was just flat out working most of the tables on her own.Last thing is a pet peeve and annoying- credit card surcharge. Build it into your price - almost no one pays cash, so come on. Once I saw the odd numbers on the check I realized what it was and asked to confirm. It is 4% and I'm willing to pay, but nowhere on your menu, website or the check itself (that I could find) does it say there is a surcharge. To me, just an easy way to keep your credit card fee without having to say, for example, a bottle of beer is $6.75 or $7 instead of $6. Not a killer - food was good - but just annoying.We will try again, but reserve a different table and bring cash. :-)

This restaurant was great very family oriented. It's pretty small inside so make sure to have a reservation. There's only a few tables and a small little bar area. We had the pizza which was good. The pizza was thin the way I like them! My friends ordered the pasta dishes which they said were really good. There is a parking lot right out front. This is a few blocks away from Canton Street. We walked there right after dinner it was great.

verything is amazing here.. food, staff, ambiance.. everything... will definitely return..Thank you soo much from the Singletons

Heard a lot of great things about this place. minimal parking but the food was worth it! i got to try the house salad with balsamic dressing. They tossed it really well because every single piece had dressing on it. Sour and sweet.the *Piccantina Pizza* was pretty good as well. very fresh ingredients and locally sourced if I'm not mistaken. baked quickly in their pizza oven in plain sight. Staff was great. we broke a plate but they acted like we we not a menace. kudos to yall. Thanks!

Ordered a couple pies to go. Thought it was pretty good, perhaps a bit expensive. Can't comment on the dine-in experience.

The food was good but it is extremely loud and the restaurant is very hot inside . No fans! It made very uncomfortable and had we come alone I would have left. Will not be returning.

First timers. Saw the great reviews and decided we needed to go. I was surprised at how small it was but we were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was quick to greet us and get us drinks. I ordered the eggplant parm special and so did my friend. We noticed that our food was taking a really long time. Our reservation was for 6:30 and at 7:45 we still had not gotten our food. Our waiter explained that they ran out of eggplant so they sent an employee out to the store to buy more rather than telling us to pick something else! When we finally got served, the food was very good. My friend ordered the penne arribiatta but it was so spicy she couldn't eat it. She was the only one that did not enjoy the food. If I was rating on food only, I'd give it a 4+ but the wait, the high noise level and heat in the restaurant lowered my rating. Besides being extremely loud, so much so that we had to yell to speak to one another, it was so hot in there, we were dying. I mean, we were sweating and fanning ourselves. Installing ceiling fans in there would help a lot. Need to mention that our server brought us out complimentary cannoli's because of our long wait. Very nice gesture! We will not go back in the summer but this actually was one of the better Italian restaurants we have gone to in metro Atlanta.
