ZaZà Como Reviews
A nice quaint and upscale, Italian restaurant in the heart of St Charles. I ordered the Halibut special which was fantastic. Cooked very well and was flaky. Other pictures shown are the chicken and whitefish. Both cooked to perfection. The lemon buttery and caper emulsified sauce with the juicy whitefish made me instantly regret not getting the whitefish. However, between trying the chicken, halibut, and whitefish I can confidently say that you can’t go wrong eating here! Our server was exceptional, very friendly and made great conversation. Looking forward to coming back!
As a St. Charles local for years, I am embarrassed to say that I wish I had gone to Zaza’s sooner! If you ever pass by it, wondering “should I try this place?”, the answer is YES, absolutely YES! Don’t put it off, you will be impressed. This is such a quaint spot with quality food and I love the family owned element of course. The owner Dino was so kind to us on our anniversary date night. We will be back!
We walked out of the restaurant acorss the way after sitting for 15 minutes and not even one word from the server. Headed over to Zazas and it restored our faith in restaurants in the area. We had multiple people bring us bread, water, just stop by to check on us and the service was just impeccable. Messi waa a great server and fun, but also all the orher wait staff made it an top notch experience. I haven't even mentioned the food! The whitefish was so good, I could have returned the following day for the same meal. It is pricey but absolutely worth every penny. I will be returning to Zazas anytime I am in the area.
Being from Chicago, we know what makes a good Italian restaurant and ZaZa is our go to in the 'burbs. Food and service are always excellent. We dig the old school atmosphere. Pasta is always delicious!
Hands down my favorite Italian restaurant! We’ve been dining here for years and do all job interview dinners here. Dino, his family and Team are super hospitable. Hands down the best white fish. Always look forward to dining at Zara’s!
We celebrated my birthday here and ir was perfect in every way. Food was delicious, ambience was nice and conversation friendly. The service was not rushed. It was truly enjoyable. Thank you, Zaza!
I have been coming to Zazas for the last 6-7 years and it never disappoints! Food is amazing, cost is within reason, and service is fantastic. Best Italian food in the Chicago suburbs!
Some of the best pasta we've ever had. Very busy, but wonderful date night atmosphere and tremendous food. 5/5 would recommend.
For some reason I never tried this restaurant even though I walked past it hundreds of times. I'm kicking myself over how many extraordinary meals I've missed. I don't know how to talk about the incredible flavors I experienced. Anything I say is going to sound superfluous, but I was blown away by how tasty everything I tried was. Do yourself a favor get the stuff to artichoke appetizer. Everyone at my table was in heaven. This is definitely going on my list of favorite Italian restaurants.
Probably top 10 restaurants I've been to. So, so good. We went for dinner on a Saturday night and food, service, and atmosphere were perfect. You definitely pay for the quality but worth it for a special occasion or if you're rolling in dough.
We had a wedding rehearsal dinner here, and we were so pleased with everything! From the initial planning all the way to the actual event, everything was fantastic! Wonderful venue to work with. Thank you Dino and staff!
Just great all around. It was a first time visit for my wife and I and we loved everything about the place. From the warm, crusty bread while you look over the menu to the entrees (wife LOVED her kale salad and my osso buco special just might be the greatest meal I’ve ever had) to the great service, we may have found our newest favorite spot. Will definitely be back again!
Spectacular service, fantastic food, awesome atmosphere, great music. What else do you need? I love this place, and its become our go to for birthdays. Always excited. I forgot my credit card here once, came back the next day, and ate again. Its that good!
Amazing day here on the outdoor patio, quiet and much more intimate setting then the other Italian place close by. We were near the water feature which was nice and calming. The specials of the day were all presented by the server and the halibut was a large portion cooked to perfection the lemon type of sauce on top hit the spot. The appetizer of clams was amazing too, the server recommended dipping the bread in all the extra sauce and that was a recommendation taken so well that payed off it was delicious. The bread was served fresh and still warm very very good. For desert the tarimisu is the best I've had in a very long time, moist not over powered by coffee, not soggy just perfect. I will definitely be back and forth a busy labor day weekend it was fast service and not rushed.
This has to be me and my boyfriend favorite place to eat the food is phenomenal! This is the first time we ate inside and it was pretty noisy so I’d reccomed eating outside. The drinks are great and the food is incomparable to anything we’ve had. I’m vegan so I struggle finding nice places to eat but our waiters here always accommodate me. Last night we had Mauro and he was exceptional they always are. 1000% recommend. It is pricey but you get what u pay for! I get 2 meals out of my 1 I never finsh and it gates done reheated!
What a wonderful dinner we had and excellent experience! The food was fantastic and service over the top. We had server Ashley and she was so impressive and personal and prompt! Everything was excellent, best Halibut and Lamb Dishes, bread was superb! Good old Italian restaurant dining! Love it, we will be back!
Finally was able to get in after trying for a while lol they're always booked so that was a great sign! The overall vibe walking gives old school bar restaurant with low lighting, soft music playing. Staff very welcoming from the second you walk in. The bar was a little busy on a Saturday night took a while to get a drink and by then our table was ready. Our waiter was awesome and made some great recommendations! Will definitely be back!
Went here for the first time for our anniversary. They are redoing whatever outside so the view could have been better but that’s not this businesses fault. Food was delicious! Very big portions. Moscato wine was very delicious. Dessert was to-die-for! My dish had the spinach on top and it was soooo good! Buttery and very tasty!
Sunday June 18, 2023 Father’s Day My son made a 6 pm reservation for my wife, i and him to celebrate Father’s Day. It was the first time at La Za Za for us. We checked in at 5:50 and were immediately seated at an outdoor table. Lisa our server was at our table within 1 minute of being seated to take our drink orders. Since we were having wine with dinner, we all had sparkling water. We were going to have a gluten free pizza as an appetizer, but Lisa promptly returned and told us that us that was not available. She made a couple of recommendations and we selected the Melanzine Griglia, egg plant stuffed with ricotta, mozzarella & parmigiana cheeses and topped with a tomato basil sauce and mozzarella cheese. I can no longer say I don’t like egg plant, it was fantastic! There was also a bread basket with a bowl of salsa for dipping. We all ordered a glass of Justin Cabernet wine that Lisa recommended and it was quite nice. For entrees my wife ordered the 8 oz Filet with roasted potatoes and fresh mixed vegetables. Lisa expertly described the options for how well done the Filet could be cooked. My wife choose medium well and it was cooked exactly as she wanted. My son ordered the 16 oz Ribeye special, also with roasted potatoes and fresh mixed vegetables. I ordered the Vitello Sassi, pan roasted veal with sautéed mushrooms, artichoke hearts & garlic in a light brandy sauce with a side of linguini. All of these ingredients blended together perfectly. I am a big fan of artichoke hearts and in this case they were the best I had ever had. I would give them 6 or 7 stars if that was an option. For dessert my wife was stuffed and passed. My son & I both had the tiramisu and it was great. I want to highlight our server, Lisa. She had a great personality and talked to us for several minutes about non-food topics. She knew the menu very well and made great recommendations. She checked on us frequently so we were never waiting or wanting for anything. Finally, La Za Za is expensive, at least to my family. Plan on spending a Benjamin ($100) per person if you get a cocktail, appetizer, wine, entree, dessert and coffee. So La Za Za will be reserved for 2 or 3 special occasions per year. I’ll definitely look forward to them. In conclusion, I highly recommend La Za Za for a fabulous dining experience and without reservation give it 👍👍👍👍👍
Came to ZaZas for my wife's birthday and we had an amazing dinner. Atmosphere and service was terrific. Staff checks in on you often. I ordered the Wagyu steak . It was phenomenal My wife tried the whole chicken with potatoes, which was delicious. For dessert we had the coffee crumble cake with pecans and a scoop of ice cream. I'm a dessert kind of guy and let me tell you....it was top 3 all time desserts I've ever had! It's simply amazing. Great place. Will be back!
La Za’ Za’ Trattoria in St. Charles, Illinois, brings a genuine touch of Italian cuisine and culture to the area. The moment you walk in, the clean, warm, and beautifully designed décor sets the tone for an authentic dining experience. The food is truly second to none, which is exactly what you’d expect from a restaurant that has stood strong for decades. Their menu offers something for everyone, from wood-fired pizzas to fresh seafood and handcrafted pasta dishes that taste like they came straight from Italy. With its inviting atmosphere and exceptional food, La Za’ Za’ remains one of the area’s timeless dining gems.
Star ratings. 1 bad. 2 below average. 3 average / neutral. 4 good. 5 excellent. Have ate here many times over the years. The artichoke appetizer is essential. Food in general is good. Occasional have had something off which they've fixed immediately. Seabass, does lack because they kill the seabass with way to much sauce. Otherwise food is consistent and better then an average Italian restaurant. Service and decor are standard.
LA Zaza Trattoria is a fantastic restaurant. My wife and I celebrated her Birthday at this restaurant. There was not one part of our dinner that was not perfect. Even our waitress was awesome. So, the only issue we had was that the restrooms in the restaurant are not sufficient for amount of seating inside and outside the restaurant. Once they find a way to rectify that issue, this restaurant will be perfect. We highly recommend LA Zaza Trattoria for your next dinner out. As always, be safe in your travels, and if you if you happen to get that empty hungry feeling in your tummy. Always stop and enjoy a meal.
Valerie our server was great. The food taste was below average. They slopped the leftover pizza slices in a big sloppy pile in a to go box (see photo). The markup on wine bottles was very reasonable compared to most restaurants ($52 bottle sold for $85).
