dolce Zola

Great atmosphere, great food, great staff. The meat portions on the pasta were decent but the vegetables (such as zucchini or eggplant on the pasta) were disappointingly small portions. Other than that we really enjoyed our meals.

My wife and I dined here on a Saturday evening. We had a reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. The restaurant is nicely decorated and fairly modern. The kitchen is exposed and they have some tables with a full view but most are on the other side of a wall.

We were seated in the basement. That I think was less than ideal since it was like a morgue while the upstairs was lively.

Service was good but not special. They have several entrees but the stars of the menu are the fresh pastas. We both had starters which were quite good. I had crab and ricotta balls and my wife beets and beans.

For pasta I had the Rocco and my wife had a spicy red sauce with sausage but she complained that there were only two small pieces of sausage. I had asked for sausage in my Rocco which is vegetarian but the server neglected to pass that along to the kitchen. At least he also forgot to put it on the bill.

Dessert was chocolate mousse which was great but a bit small to share. Its BYOB and they charge a $2.50 cooking fee.

If they fix some service issues it will be a nice place and I would request not to be in the basement.

Excellent restaurant. Food was great. Pasta was homemade. Loved the decor on the inside. Great experience will be going back.

The food was amazing and the service was outstanding! We will definitely be back. I love that this restaurant serves organic and local food.
