    The tasty pizza getting made.
    Amanda M.

    After being here different times over the years with friends and family, I was slightly disappointed. Today, we went to Zanata's for my birthday. Honestly, our service was just mediocre compared to all of our other experiences here. It seemed as if our server was ready to leave or something as we overheard her telling a new server coming in that our table had already ordered. Maybe that is part of the reason why part of my meal was forgotten. She made she to let us know that she took it off, great- because we didn't get it. I would have ordered a second glass of wine, but she never came back by to ask. When she came by to ask about dessert, it came out as "you didn't want the dessert menu did you?"" ..... no, not asking that way. Our food was good and I'll give it another try, but not in a Saturday afternoon and definitely not for my birthday. So we left and are going elsewhere for dessert and drinks.

    I recently visited Zanata in Rockwall, Texas for the first time, and it was a very enjoyable experience. It's the kind of place that immediately feels relaxing and inviting. I had ordered the pizza and blue crab dip, and I'm glad I did. It was flavorful and well cooked. The crust had a great texture, and everything came together nicely. I also tried one of their desserts the banana foster , which was a great way to finish the meal. The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. again.

    Sat bar side and enjoyed a coupla tap beers and shared a pizza. Would return to try other menu items.

    Bruschetta Plate
    Amanda R.

    Came here for dinner on Friday after work. It's a small restaurant in downtown Rockwall. There was a 45 min wait around 5:20, so I recommend going early. Service was a little slow, but they were working fast for the crowd. No one working was just standing around. We got lucky and got to sit at the bar. We tried the bruschetta board was delicious. I wasn't a fan of the Gorgonzola, but only because I don't care for blue cheese, but the Mozzarella and Brie were great. I love the toppings on them. Pork chop was cooked perfectly and I loved the broccolini. Can we talk about the lobster risotto? Oh my. SO RICH and savory. The regulars, who come there often, that we spoke with were super friendly. The couple next to us shared that on Tuesday's they have a special for wine, pizza, and salad for $30. We will definitely go back.

    I went for the steak. My date went for the pizza. We were both satisfied. The steak was well cooked, a nice medium well. It had a nice sear and was lightly seasoned. However, and I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, it was topped with sautéed onions, mushrooms, and sun dried tomatoes. I would have liked something green (something firm like fresh green beans, or grilled asparagus) on my plate, though. The pizza was pretty good. The crust was tasty but I did think the pepperoni was a tad too salty. My date finished the whole thing. I haven't seen her eat that much (relatively) since she was a little girl. The restaurant has the potential to be loud but they've added some baffles in the ceiling. Our fellow diners weren't too crazy, though and the noise level was comfortable. Our server Rachel was friendly and attentive.

    Excellent food. Excellent service. You can't go wrong with this restaurant. The ambience is quaint and cozy.

    Scallops with spaghetti squash and sugar snap peas
    Christie P.

    I came back with a small group, and we really enjoyed our dinner! I tried the seafood special: scallops with spaghetti squash and sugar snap peas in a basil sauce. It was amazing!

    This is exactly where she placed it on table with my arm exactly there. I immediately took a picture.

    No flavor in food. Waitress didn't warn me dish was super hot, now I have 2 burn marks on my fingertips that will now puss up. And then asking for steak knife so I can cut into the chicken, she placed the tip of it right at my wrist. Unbelievable.

    Always a favorite! Great food and service. Blue crab dip with the pita bread is my favorite.

    Wait list how long?

    That answer is hit and miss in Rockwall with any restaurant. It'll be busy on any evening but weekends you can expect 30 to 45 minutes

    Why is Yelps waitlist not honored at the restaurant?

    We had ordered pizza via GrubHub a couple times but was excited to get it fresh out of the oven…read more Our first attempt was a Saturday night. We showed up 30 minutes before close and I was quite disappointed with how we were greeted. It was almost as if they didn't want us there so they could close down early. We decided it was a sign and left before even seated. But, we decided to give it another try. And, we were glad we did. We were meeted with such a cheerful young lady. We ordered the mozzarella sticks and had Alfredo sauce to go with the awesome bread. Our pizza was the meat lovers and it was fantastic. And huge! So glad we tried again and we will be back. Super tasty pizza, byob and killer bread.

First and most concerning--there was plastic in one of the dishes. I initially mistook it for a sun-dried tomato and actually tried to eat it. After realizing the texture was off, I unwrapped it and saw it was a whole piece of plastic. That's completely unacceptable and raises major food safety concerns. On top of that, my grandfather ordered the Penne Rosa--actually, we ordered two of them--but one came out as a completely different dish. We still have no idea what it was. It wasn't necessarily bad, but it definitely wasn't what we ordered or paid for. For the amount of money we spent on this order, the quality control and attention to detail just weren't there. Really disappointed, and we won't be returning.

    I was introduced to the original Campisi's on Mockingbird over 50 years ago by my father. All other…read morepizza pales in comparison to what Campisi's delivers. My favorite? Large pizza with garlic and double mushroom. I also love their small side salads. You pay extra for Campisi's - but it will ruin you for other pizza. The only problem with this location is the parking situation. There's a movie theater practically next door and finding a space is kinda like The Hunger Games. People are always coming and going, so you have to circle around a few times before you can find a spot. During my most recent visit, I called in my order to pick up and when I got there, the gal at the register was struggling with my credit card. They sadly do not have Apple Pay. I hope this changes. I prefer contactless payments for fraud prevention. I have worked retail and I tried to show her how to properly swipe the card. She kept asking for another card, which I did not have. She turned to a colleague who swiped it correctly on the first attempt and she apologized for the trouble and gave me a free drink. When the weather is nice, they have outdoor seating with a covering canopy. Since moving out of Dallas, this is one of the closest Campisi's locations to where I live now, and having been to 5 of their locations, they are consistent with pizza quality throughout the chain. There was a dark period about 16-18 years ago when someone went full moron and decided to save money by switching to American Cheese. I am not kidding you. The pizza went from epic to inedible. I boycotted them for years until I was told by someone in the know that they had switched back to the original recipe. If you ate at a Campisi's during "the dark ages" when they made this switch, give them another chance. Because they're back to the original quality. I've had a lot of pizza in my life - but no one holds a candle to Campisi's. The crust. The sauce. The crispy crust. So many taste highlights and great texture. No other pizza comes close to them. None. Never soggy - AND by far, the best cold pizza I've ever had in my life. I always order more than I can eat. The rest goes in the fridge and I honestly don't even need to heat it up. It's great straight out of the fridge. They cut the pizza into long rectangles and this makes it much more manageable to eat - but they will cut it any way you prefer if you tell them when you order. Life on planet earth can be rough sometimes - but there's always Campisi's to brighten up the day.

    First time visit for lunch. It was very good, hot and delicious. The lunch specials were great…read moreprices and servings were more than one person can eat. Spaghetti and meatballs and pizza. The Pizza is supposed to be thin crust. Salad was fresh and plenty of house dressing. The Italian bread was awesome and a real laid back atmosphere. I loved all the old family photos and "Frank Sinatra" type music playing. The wait staff was attentive and nice. Give it a try on a slower day. It has a nice outside patio area and a few steps to the water with a great view.
