Zo M.

I reached out to the owner a month ago by phone to inquire if she had Truffle oil and she said to come visit her store when I was in town. This amazing olive oil and vinegar store was spectacular and definitely worth a visit. There are so many specialty items that I could not resist taking home 3 bottles of oil and vinegars . We also were able to learn something about how truffle oil needs to be used and how the smells/ taste may change over time but are not bad after time. She offered tastings and encouraged us to try some delightful flavors that we used that evening on our salads.Pure deliciousness!!! The owner also offers $1 off refills of her oils if your return your original bottles washed and clean. I liked that she offered that as I am into help save the environment. She does all the fillings of bottles and was very Covid conscious which I appreciated. Will definitely be back next time in town for more culinary oils as we know the ones purchased will be used quickly.

I sat at the soda counter and ordered strawberry pancakes with bacon, and I tried their root beer flight. Turns out they didn't have all of the root beers because one was discontinued or unable to be sent to them any longer so one of my root beers was an orange soda. I liked the opportunity to try these sodas on tap and not commit to one. That's a really fun idea. Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. The bacon was good and I love strawberry pancakes so I'm a big fan when that's on the menu. I really didn't spend a lot of time there, but everyone was friendly and courteous and I didn't have to wait too long for anything from being greeted when I got there to being served. It was a great experience.

My go-to every time is the chicken piccata: perfectly cooked, bright, and full of flavor. It never disappoints. Don't sleep on their pizza either. It's seriously good and easily holds its own next to the classic Italian dishes. Add in a beautiful atmosphere that feels both inviting and polished, and you've got a spot that works for date night, family dinners, or just treating yourself. Consistently solid food, great vibes, and absolutely worth the visit.

I rarely write negative reviews. In fact, I almost never do unless the issue is significant enough…read morethat it feels like a disservice to stay silent. I'm a longtime customer of Z Bardhi's in Tallahassee -- I've dined there 6-7 times, and I once hosted a group of 10 there. I genuinely believe in supporting local restaurants, especially after sticking with them through the challenges of the last several years. That's why this experience hurts to write about. I placed a to-go order recently, and what I received was shockingly poor. Had I been eating in the restaurant, I would have sent it back immediately. The Caprese Salad ($16) was listed as sliced tomatoes topped with buffalo mozzarella, basil, and balsamic vinaigrette over mixed greens. Instead, I received four thin tomato slices, four flat, uninspiring pieces of supermarket-style mozzarella totaling less than two inches, and one singular small piece of wilted lettuce. That's it. For sixteen dollars. The Caesar salad was equally minuscule and underwhelming. The large pizza with sausage, mushrooms, and green peppers (with the $2 per topping upcharge) was also disappointing -- most of the pie had almost no green peppers, and the sausage and mushrooms were scattered so sparsely that entire sections were bare. I understand restaurants can have off nights, but this wasn't an off night. This was a clear lack of care and portion control coming out of the kitchen. When loyal customers are consistently shorted on ingredients and charged premium prices for what feels like bare-minimum effort, it doesn't just disappoint -- it breaks trust. Z Bardhi's, I hope management sees this and takes it seriously. I want to keep supporting you, but experiences like this make it very difficult. If this level of effort continues, many of us who have been regulars will have no choice but to take our business elsewhere. We have options, and loyalty has to go both ways. Photos attached for reference.

We were immediately greeted when entered store and had the pleasure of meeting Chris who walked us through their huge assortment of specialty infused basalmics and olive oils .We loved the stories about how they allow for tastings and Chris even let me take a few samples home since I didn't want to try the open samples .Chris explained some pairings and they have recipe cards to give you some extra ideas on meals. I love to pick up bread from restaurants we frequent and these make great oils for dipping.We went with a fig basalmic and a store fave.the peach basalmic.Chris used a heat gun to seal our bottles and wrapped our bottles so they would have a safe transport since we were traveling 700 + miles home .I really appreciate the extra details . We walked around and found several other cool things that needed for the home including silicon bowl toppers and steel measuring cups for my mom. She wanted some and was happy to find them there. Highly recommend this store if go to Tallahassee. They have been around since 1999 .They have high quality items and amazing customer service.

There was a standard menu given to us along with specials for the evening. Also notes were wine specials and a decent wine list. Two in our party enjoyed a Pinot Grigio and a Sauvignon Blanc and exclaimed good quality. For starters we got fresh bread that was accompanied by seasoned olive oil and an herbed butter. We also had the flash fried artichokes; recommended these 100%. There were little strips of red bell peppers mixed in and note, when I say "flash fried" I'm talking a lite dusting of a flour batter and super lite fry...no grease. Dinner entrees consisted of the birthday boy ordering the filet, au gratin potato and asparagus. Three of us had the flounder that had tomato confit, artichoke, hearts palm, olives and mandarin oranges. The filet was cooked perfect and extremely tender with the sides paired perfectly. The flounder was exceptional and no plate was left with a morsel to be seen! The dessert menu was hard to choose from but we settled on brownie with sauce and vanilla ice cream and the raspberry cheesecake. Add in a couple of after dinner coffees/espresso the meal was perfect. This restaurant is small but not elbow small. A few tables outside for nice weather occasions and a small bar to seat 3-4 people. Aiden was our server and he did an awesome job; efficient, attentive without being overly hovering with a great sense of humor. We will be back!
