    The pistachio fish was great, service very good as well. We loved the tiramisu and the banana semi freedom with macadamia nut brittle. A great part of our weekend getaway

    The food was great!! It's very authentic! However the place is very small…tables are all cramped together, which makes it difficult to move anywhere!! It was quite loud and the service wasn’t the best either! The server took 20 minutes to come and take the food order and never came to check on us again! Wasn’t paying attention to what questions I had about the menu…wouldn’t go there again!

    Reliably excellent food, wine and experience. The consistency, high level of quality and the atmosphere provided by the staff makes Zarletti one of our top favorites in the city.
