A friend took us here for dinner and it was wonderful. I started with a lemon drop martini, was just perfect. Then we went with the blue crab appetizer, definitely a group pleaser. I had the steak with the spinach as a side and red peppers. The steak was cooked a perfect medium, and the spinach was delicious. My husband had the pork chop. He said it was excellent, and our friend had the halibut which he always gets. We had banana Foster for dessert. I definitely will give this place a five star rating and be coming back. I can't forget our waitress Shelby. She was top-notch,; funny and attentive. read more

Great ambiance for work events or date dinners. Very good food with lots of fun and tasty options. As you would expect the meal is a bit pricey for what you get - that's Rockwall though. The only gripe is with the wait. It takes a while to get a table here, and even longer to get your food. This is a great place if you expect to relax, get cocktails, try a few plates, and be at a restaurant for no less than 2.5, or closer to 3 hours read more

Had a bit of a wait on Saturday evening around 6pm. Expected the wait but were told 15 minutes and it was over 40, FYI. Return visit, have always enjoy their oven fired food. Started with bruschetta, very good! I had a scallop special, small bay scallops in a cream sauce over mashed potatoes and my guest had the meatball lasagna. We also ordered the grilled veggies to share but were brought an entree instead, chopped veggie dish with chopped chicken. The waitress didn't stop back timely, l kept trying to get her attention to correct it. I finally got her attention and asked if the grilled veggies had changed from being whole and why was there chicken in it. Waitress said she was new and wasn't sure but would check with the kitchen. Came back and said recipe was the same and we ordered the chicken entree. Laughable to argue with a customer when you have made a mistake. Service has been excellent in the last. Hopefully this was isolated bad service. Restaurant was loud and busy but it was Saturday night and this is a hopping place with good food. read more

Have visited twice. Great atmosphere. Great staff. Great food. Table wait was not problematic and short. Will continue to keep it in our top 5 for casual fine dining. read more

I had the Standard pizza on gluten free crust. It was pretty good. I also had the meatballs, they were good but I was expecting more flavor. Service was also good. Vibes are yt ppl never having seen POCs before. read more

Out in Rockwall for the weekend on the lake. Stopped by here around 530pm for dinner on a Sunday. It wasn't too busy, but by 630, there was a wait out the door. Cozy vibe that is helped by two great looking wood fired ovens for the pizzas and dinner. Our server was great, no problems there. He gave us great recommendations and was conscious of our water and drinks despite having several table. We split a pizza and the salmon. The salmon was great, nicely seasoned with a good crust on it. It came with some greens in a light vinaigrette. I'd order that again. The pizza was okay. We had the spike happy hour and about the only bad thing was the onions weren't caramelized so I think it took away from the entire flavor. Overall still a good choice for local dinner in the area. read more

Zanata is our favorite go to date night restaurant. We always have impeccable food and service.

This is our favorite place! Amazing specials and atmosphere! Great for a date night or a family get together.

Overall great experience. Food quality was great and portion sizing. Only complaint was we were sat right by hostess and couldn't hear each other speaking during dinner. Waitress was attentive but maybe just overwhelmed. We will be back to try everything else off the menu! read more

The food is always on point and the last two visits the service matched the food. Our first visit almost caused me to not return due to the host and the inconsistency in getting us seated and the patrons to entered after us. My husband is the reason for our return MAINLY for the dish and just so happen we got great service on our return visit which caused us to return a third time. Three times a charm ;-) The children always get the cheese pizza. Additionally we've tried the crab dip app, tomato mozzarella and Basil app and the main courses that are amazing are the shrimp & grits and the risotto. Very yummy Italian with a nice wine selection read more

Do checkout this place if you are in Rockwall. Authentic and tasty italian cuisine! Service: we were a group of 12, but the service was quick and server, Josh, was great! Ambience: cozy feel inside, wood fired grill Food: everything was different, not too cheesy, tasty! The cocktails were ok. Ordered the cabernet red wine and it was not good at all. Appetizers: get the Bruschetta and hummus pita bread. The bread is so fresh! Entrees: the lobster pasta was heavy. Chicken pizza was not great. Salmon and halibut were great! Risotto was good too! The pork chop was yummy! read more

Service was great and food was okay. We visited on a Tuesday evening where they offer a shared salad, glass of wine, and pizza for around $29. While we appreciated the incredible offer, I'd probably order a la carte next time. Located in a gorgeous Historic Downtown Rockwall, the Christmas decor and festivities were adorable. There is plenty of parking along the square and when we walked up to the restaurant, there was a gorgeous outdoor Christmas tree and "snow" for the kiddos to enjoy. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to visit for coffee during the day. Side note we ordered the blue crab dip. Very creamy and comes out piping hot!! Wasn't a crazy fan of the bread that accompanied it, I'd ask for hot bread on the side next time. $14.00 Our Tuesday special breakdown. The wine: you get a choice of red or white and whatever the offer of the evening is is what you'll get. We chose red and were brought a cab sav. The wine wasn't my favorite and we obviously overpaid but hey, it's the experience that counts. I appreciate that you can take it home if you don't finish. Pizza: we ordered the Hubbard's pizza. Topped with pepperoni, mushrooms, chorizo, tomato sauce, and garlic. Next time, I'll mix the mushrooms. They were a bit overpowering for me. The Three Little Pigs looked worth a try as well! Caesar salad came with chopped egg which was decent. Overall I'd give them another shot! We're not in Rockwall very often but that downtown square looks promising. read more

Stopped by for an early lunch, and I'm glad it was early, because they got busy really quick. It seems to be in their downtown area with lots of shops around. Parking was a bit of a drag, but it worked. Decor-not sure what they're going for, and I didn't get any particular vibe. It was clean Service-very nice server, he was friendly and attentive. Food-I went with their Zanata salad and added grilled salmon. It was a great choice and I look forward to going back sooon. read more

Superior food and service. Food is cooked in an open flame pizza oven. Best of all, they have excellent gelato!

One of our favorite spots in Rockwall. Cutest ambiance. Amazing wine selection along with an extensive menu. You have to try their crab dip! read more

Zanata - Bananas Foster - Italian Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

Best chicken Alfredo I've ever had!!! Seriously. I would never have come up with the concept of ham with chicken Alfredo but it was so good. The service also was phenomenal. I don't remember her name, but she has been working there for years, and is one of the best servers I've had. The ambience is also dim and good vibes. A nice spot for a date night! read more

Best pizza in town by far, great atmosphere and service always on point. It's a little loud but that's part of the fun. Never had a bad pizza here, it's wood fired thin crust. The 50/50 meatballs are an absolute must! read more

I must say Rockwall does have some of the best home town dining options but this place is number 1. Great atmosphere and good service. It's very busy so it can be a tad slow sometimes but it adds to the true Italian feel! I haven't tried anything here that I didn't love but the lasagna is to die for! It's a great spot for lunch or dinner. During dinner time there will be a wait as they don't take reservations but it's well worth the wait. We always just go across to fable and fire and grab a drink while we wait! I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I came here with a large party for a birthday. They have descent tasting house red wine for about $6/$7. The white one was good and easy to drink. I ordered the Sunday roasted chicken which comes with an order of risotto. That risotto was the best risotto I'v had in a while. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender and flavorful on the inside. The only complaint is that the risotto that wasn't directly under the chicken was cold. Fortunately the risotto that was directly underneath the chicken was hot, because the chicken was nice and hot. A friend ordered the mussels and I tried one; I would say skip it. The wait for our food was as expected since we had a large party. I can't really complain since it was a very busy Friday night. Keep in mine for large parties: they only take reservations over the phone and they only seat parties of 18 people or less. read more

Zanata - Sunday Roasted Chicken. It tastes better than it looks in this picture. - Italian Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

The service was good... The pizza need a little bit more flavor or seasoning. It just seemed pretty simple. But it was good... Nothing that I have to run and tell everybody about. read more

Food is always delicious and the atmosphere is great. I recommend Zanata for a unique Italia using experience.

One of our favs for date nights, but I reccomend only enjoying Zanata's if you are eating there - skip takeout!! The takeout food is good, when it all gets on the order. Second time in a row to order takeout only to get home and be missing at least one entree! read more

Rude bartender - we left and had dinner at Wade's Landing instead. This was really the last time I gave Zanatas a chance, I've never been a fan. Food has always been good though, so I'll give it three stars. read more

We were very impressed with the gluten free items they had. Almost 40% of the items were gluten free. They told us it would be a 35 minute wait. But was only 12 minutes. They were very busy and we still had great service. read more

Best place every the food is magnificent though the sprite was bad I loved it will come back

I really enjoyed this place last weekend! It's cute and quaint. I feel this is more of an intimate setting but can work for everyone . First of all, the service was amazing from start to finish . I tend to judge restaurants on how long I have to be parched lol. I didn't have this issue here. Y'all . The food is good! The pork chop was so tasty and flavorful. The fig salad(Z Salad) was definitely the star of the show ! Sweet, savory and crisp ! Oh and the meatballs were heaven sent and I'm still dreaming about them . Have you ever had meatballs with brisket, pork belly, bacon marmalade, and cauliflower butter? How niche ! I will be back soon ! read more
