We waited about 45 mins! Celebrating our anniversary. This better be good right?! Well it was absolutely worth it and our new favorite place. Went on a Saturday night and it was packed. Good sign. Ordered a macho libre cocktail and it was legit. Stiff drink with great flavor. Loved it! For appetizer had the NY white pizza. Damn pizza was so good!!! Let's go!!! Entree - ribeye. Despite ordering medium and it being well done the damn thing was still amazingly great! We finished with bananas foster. What can I say it was unbelievably delicious!! Christian our waiter was great. Not overly present but attentive enough to ensure we had everything we needed while still allowing for uninterrupted conversation. Zanata is legit and our new favorite spot. I'd recommend this spot to everyone. Highly recommended! read more

Excellent Food and Service! Salmon, steak, and wood fired pizza are all fantastic. One of our all time favorite restaurants.

Great atmosphere, great service, great food. Again, very upset with MYSELF. Moved to town 10 months ago and have been all over DFW trying to experience all the great food and atmospheres and have missed this gem in our back yard. So here's our lunch rundown: Mussels - will be back frequently for these. Probably the best I have had in the USA. Pizza - had the New York white pie. I had others on the top of my list but made the wife happy with this order. Wasn't disappointed! Can't wait to try the others that sounded so good. Drinks: great Cody was our server and he made all the choices for us (minus my wife's pizza choice) being it was our first time and he didn't lead us astray! He was awesome both with his recommendations and his service. Some of the best we have had. Great job Cody! Can't wait to come back. Awesome to have you in Rockwall Zanata's! read more

This place is overrated, we went to celebrate my wife's b-day and it was a big letdown, the server took forever to get the drinks and take our order, and after 1 hr of waiting, the server said he forgot to place the order. What a disappointment! The paella was way saltier than usual and the kids didn't even finish the pizza. Service - 1 Star Food -1 Star. read more

Went here for lunch with my daughter. We ordered the blue crab dip which I had before. It was delicious. I had the meatball sandwich and it was yummy. The only disappointment was the ham & cheese which was suppose to be toasted and was not. We split the meatball sandwich which was plenty. read more

Always great food- no matter what is ordered. Great pizza, salads, salmon. Be prepared for a blast t of noise but worth it.

My favorite restaurant in Rockwall. You may not always get the most kind or attentive server, but the food is Devine and we really enjoy it. It's a cute little place and priced well for lunch. read more

Zanata - The Z salad is amazing def get this if you're even doing a half salad! - Italian Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

This place never disappoints. The wood roasted Salmon is my favorite, but the daily specials are excellent!! Customer service is always on point. read more

Zanata has great wood-fire pizzas, but it excels at entrees. The sea bass and salmon are not only visually stunning, but cooked and seasoned to perfection. My companion and I were pleasantly surprised, having been to Zanata before, but only for the pies. Perfect to split, leaving you enough room in both your stomach AND your wallet for dessert. Speaking of pie (and dessert), all of the desserts that we saw pass us by looked amazing, but I can only personally vouch for the coconut creme, which may be the best I've had. Graham cracker crust, and beautifully toasted coconut throughout. Just the right balance of crust, creme and coconut. Not a great wine selection, but there seem to be a lot of beers to choose from. We are regulars from here on out, at least until we've tried each and every entree on the menu. :) read more

Zanata - Savory salmon! - Italian Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

Busy busy busy. We came at 5:15 on a Saturday evening and the wait was 20 minutes. Ok. No problem. Ordered bread and tomato soap for appetizers, two things already ready already in the back. They came out in 20 minutes. Strike one. I would have ordered a beer or two, but the waiter never came back to talk to us. He dropped off the appetizers but we never had a chance to say anything to him. Strike two. Our pizza and steak took another 35 minutes to appear. Strike 3. I get it. I've been a waiter. Things get busy. But at some point, you gotta at least spend a couple of minutes talking to your customers. Pros The tomato basil soup was good. The steak Diane was very good. Cons The wait The inattentive service The "fresh ciabatta" appetizer was small and meh The roasted chickenpizza (red grapes, gorgonzola, fontina, caramelized onions) was meh. The beer was . . . who knows? Three stars for the soup and steak. Everything else was 1 or 2 stars. Two stars overall. read more

Always incredible! Service, food, drinks, atmosphere... always hits the mark! Lots of great gluten free options too!

We We were in town for a pickleball tournament and looking for a good place to eat. This was close to our rental so decided to give it a try. No one was disappointed! All of our meals were excellent and the service just as good. Definitely give it a try read more

Had a really nice time during my visit to Rockwall. A local to the area suggested Zanata and I'm glad they did. It was the perfect send off to my weekend. The location is tucked away in a beautiful shopping area. The inside is super cozy. Nice enough to host a girls night and frIendly enough to bring the family. The options are plentiful and the food comes out smelling great! The taste was even better. I'm sad we didn't come sooner. I'll definitely be stopping by the next time I visit read more

Love the food always great. Fun place to do with fans Pizza is great and taste so gourmet. Wide selections of beverages

Normally great food, but tonight not good at all. Ordered the pork chop, first brought it out and outside burnt, told waitress Crystal, she took it back to the cook and brought another which this time was raw. Sent that back & over cooked again. Couldn't eat it & Crystal didnt seem to care one way or another. The nice manager made it correct & took the entree off. read more

Great food and great service, but it was a tight squeeze as it was quite busy. The location is really cute, and the atmosphere inside was nice. I would definitely go there again, but not on a busy night. read more

What a great little restaurant! Great food and better service! I had the steak salad. Steak cooked to perfection. Salad not overly dressed and the little pop of pepper made it memorable. My wife's chicken salad sandwich was delightfully creamy with a bit of spice. The soup was hot and tasty. Highly recommend! read more

Consistent. Great food and service right on the Rockwall Square! Great specials too. Highly recommend.

Went to celebrate my birthday last night. This was my 5-6 time eating there. Service was impeccable. Drinks flowed, food was fast and hot. The food was actually 5 star, from the pizza and gourmet salads to the fancy apps and main dishes. The prices are fair! The only struggle is that half of Rockwall wants to eat there too. So make a reservation or go early. You will love it. read more

what are the best restaurants in DFW. It's just over the bridge in Downtown Rockwall get there early. Because parking can sometimes be a problem. They take reservations for parties over six. I go here about once a month with friends. Usually a party of 10 to 12 they are always able to accommodate us. They have weekly specials I've never been disappointed. This restaurant is very gluten-free friendly. If it's not already gluten-free, they were usually make adjustments. read more

Located in the heart of Rockwall downtown is a my favorite pizza spot. Yes, the have lots of other good options but their San Jacinto Pizza is my favorite. read more

Just moved to the area and was hoping to find a new "favorite" place since my girlfriend and I eat out pretty often. I can easily say, this is IT for us. It was busy and we were concerned about "1st come, 1st served" with a 5yr. old but they seated us right away. Super nice waitress and made us feel at home instantly. Food was fabulous; steamed mussels were the best I have ever had. NOTE! Must order the humus and baked bread. The bread crust was perfectly crispy yet tender. Our girl's pizza crust was the same, outstanding! Will return often!! read more

Love the food here, it's a great place to meet friends, but once it gets crowded...the noise level can be a little overwhelming.

Great service and great food! Such a cute restaurant and our server Cody was amazing and on top of everything. They had a lunch rush and it was only him serving but he made sure that his six tables were all very well taken care of. The pizza is also a must if you go! read more

Zanata - Standard Pizza and a San Jacinto Pizza - Italian Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

I'm a pizza snob and love good pizza. I prefer pizza baked in a wood fired pizza oven, with a homemade dough, thin and crispy on the outside but chewy on the inside. This place does it right. We had the pepperoni pizza and one called the Mighty Quinn. Both were delicious. We sat at the bar and ate their appetizer meatballs while we waited for our pizza. They were yummy too. My husband loved the marinara sauce. We took our pizza to-go, so can't say much about the service except we were greeted exceptionally fast, got menus and waters right away, and watched one particular waitress moving quickly, efficiently and commanding the room. All their service staff seemed excellent. I recommend highly. read more

Great food. Great service. Good atmosphere. Good beer. I love this place. I eat there every opportunity I have.

What a special place. Amazing food and service. We will most definitely be back! Merry Christmas!
