We have lived in the area for years and ALWAYS wanted to try this restaurant as we passed it all the time. Yesterday was my momma's birthday and she chose here. I couldn't think of a more perfect place to celebrate her. Making a reservation is recommended as it tends to fill up quickly I was told. We chose to sit out on the patio which is A LOT more spacious than you think. It is covered with beautiful artwork and seating has pillows and linens that give you a very chill yet fancy vibe. The inside which I didn't spend much time it- also seemed very adorable. Our waitress Hailey, amongst all the staff, were fabulous. Very attentive and friendly and you can tell it's a very close knit group of people. The menu was the perfect size. They have a small choosing of apps, salads, entrees, sandwiches, pastas and pizzas which I found to be key - as enormous menus can make deciding extremely hard especially when you've never been before. My sister and I split the seafood pizza and both got a cup of leek soup with side salads. The leek soup was INCREDIBLE and I'd been dying to try this soup before so I'm super glad I got to here. The entire meal was delicious. They bring you out a basket of bread and do a great job with refilling the table with bottles of water. My mom got chicken piccata which is her all time favorite and OHMYGOSH- it tasted so fresh from the lemon. They give you the option of eating it with pasta or carrots and potatoes. My mom chose the traditional pasta side and was very happy with her choice. My niece ordered ravioli and wedding soup. She is a PICKY eater and she absolutely loved her meal. She also tried the leek soup broth and thought that was delicious too. Overall- I could continue raving and give this restaurant a billion stars and it wouldn't be enough. I highly recommend trying- you will not be disappointed. read more

Great service and food. I read good things about leek broth but I can honestly say the pizza crust was terrific. Service was polite and prompt read more

Very Rustic ambiance like and old guesthouse in Europe, I have eaten there several times and have been very satisfied every time. Never been disappointed food is fabulous. Staff is very good and friendly. My wife and friends love this place . Thank for great service fantastic food and old world ambiance. read more

First time here. I can't tell you how many times I've driven past. The steak medallions were cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. John had the haddock sandwich and it was huge! Portions were great, prices were good for the amount of food you get. We will definitely go back! Highly recommend! read more

What a huge disappointment! Zottola's is place we considered a treat to have diner. So to Celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary of course, that's where I wanted to go. I called and made a reservation for 2 at 5:00. We wanted to splurge and make a nice evening of it. Arrived, one table seated with food. We were the only other table. Ordered the meatball diner, and the seafood pizza. Thinking, next order the leek soup and mussels, dessert even if we just took it home. Another couple arrived with lots of fanfare. Put orders in. My salad arrived. And we sat, and sat. The other couple were done with salads, mussels, and fried fish diner and other entree served. We're still waiting on pasta and meatballs and a pizza. Trying to pretend this was going to be amazing 25th Anniversary. The seafood pizza came cold. By then Husbands beer was warm. And I misunderstood the pasta, thinking it was cavatelli. Not Angel Hair pasta. The Server took 15% off the bill using friend/family discount. I thought I did everything right, I know making reservations is a big deal there. And you will get an attitude if you don't. But they had 1 table of 4 come in while we waited. You didn't care enough about out business tonight, your not going to care that we will never be back read more

We have been coming to Zottolas since shortly after they opened. We have enjoyed the fresh approach to food preparation and the family friendly atmosphere. The bar vibe has always been fun even though limited seating. Specials have been delicious and with great variety. Since government COVID shut downs The owners have worked hard to maintain staff and the family atmosphere. Go ahead and get down there. read more

I love this place more every visit. We are celebrating my mother's birthday here for the second year in a row. The chef is first rate!

I've been eating here for years and I always enjoy the food. The servers are always on point, especially at the bar. The outdoor seating is super neat and is a whole vibe in the summer. One of my favorite dishes here is the chicken piccata. Very good portions of everything. read more

I have been here a couple of times and am never disappointed. Most recently, we came in about 20 minutes before their kitchen closed and they were so kind to invite us in and make us dinner. We ate at the bar, and I had the chicken piccata with Penne, which was amazing. their salad dressings are homemade and incredible. My boyfriend had the shrimp scampi and really enjoyed it. The bartenders were super attentive and the atmosphere was cozy. read more

Fair. Should have a reservation or will have to eat at the bar. We had to eat at a both in the bar. The bartender was our server who waits on the whole bar area. Took time to get our order in. When we had questions he kept saying read the chalkboard kind of rudely. Some food was slightly above average. The seafood pizza had little flavor, very small pieces of seafood that seemed old, crust was meh - would never order again. Won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Husband and I have never been here before, Bartender is our sever. We are eating in bar area. Please don't scream at me asking what drink o want from across the bar! So far ... not impressed. Asked for a sex on beach. Never seen anything so dark. Soup was very good. I ordered arugula church sandwich. Hubby ordered clams with Linguine. read more

This place is amazing! I honestly can't say enough. The food is freshly prepared and the taste is out of this world. We have had everything from pizza, to fish, pasta and of course the chicken piccata! Love the atmosphere, it's like you're walking into someone's home that has been waiting to entertain you. The servers are the best, no fancy pretenses. Just people that make you feel like family. I highly recommend Zottolas for your next dinner. read more

Super friendly staff, probably the best mussels I've ever eaten, pork schnitzel was superb, haddock a little dry, wonderfully fresh warm bread read more

What a pleasant and charming oasis in mountain country! I highly recommend this place for a romantic date night. The decor is eclectic and country. You kinda feel like you're dining at someone's home. We sat on the patio on a warm summer evening. I ordered the leek soup, spinach salad and scallop linguini. As others have mentioned, the leek soup was delicious! Buttery and flavorful. I recommend asking for bread to dip in all of the glorious goodness. You get a TON of spinach, a lot even for an entree salad, but I never complain about too much of a good thing-and it was good. I wanted to order the salad as an alternative to the house salad, but that was not an option, even after I offered to pay extra. Not a big deal. The scallops were cooked to perfection and so substantial, I was full after eating 2 with the pasta. My bf ordered the surf and turf with crab cake (see picture). He (and I) LOVED it. The filet was cooked as ordered and seasoned right. The crab cake, we both agreed, was some of the best we've ever eaten (and he's from New Orleans). No filler in the cakes, large chunks of fresh crab meat. We even surprisingly enjoyed the carrots, which were not mushy, nor too buttery. But the star on that plate?! Those heavenly cheesy mashed potatoes! My sister, who benefited from our substantial "doggy bag," was blown away! I'm still thinking about those potatoes,..... For desert, we took homemade butter pecan to go. They were out of brownies, bummer. The butter pecan was ok, kinda sour tasting. Our server Kirstin (I think that's her name) gave us a complimentary scoop of the jalapeño ice cream and that was surprisingly really good. So unique. I'd recommend living on the dangerous side and giving it a try. So why 4 and not 5 stars? For one, our entrees were brought out right after salads/soup were served. I kinda chalked it up as, again, eating family style. Still, makes for awkward maneuvering around the table. My biggest gripe?! This wonderful menu and beautifully appointed space DOESN'T HAVE A WINE LIST?!?! I'm not saying they have to offer Chalk Hill or Duckhorn, but it felt disrespectful to enjoy those scallops with that cheap wine they serve! They could also offer a bread basket and expresso, ..... The service was friendly, space is romantic, food was incredible and the prices were more than fair. I look forward to returning when I'm in the area. read more

It's been a while since I was here last, but it was fantastic, such a comfortable setting, it was a little chilly so we ate inside, I would love to try the outside seating sometime. Our Server was so awesome, very attentive and full of joy. I wish I could have remembered her name. She was a young girl, college age. The menu and the food was so good! We will definitely be back. read more

Customer service and food great. In an era of restaurants being understaffed, closing early, Zottola's was positive exception. We came in shortly before closing, still served us, full menu, drinks remained full, great food, good personality, in an out for a reasonable price. Well done. read more

Food is consistently good. Service, meh. No longer a place you can just walk in and eat. They prefer reservations and aren't very happy to see you if you show up without one. read more

I got here for my reservation and after 25 minutes a waitress took my drink order after making sure every single other table was doing good TWICE! after two rounds someone decided to wait on us. then i went to drink my water and there was dried lipstick on the glass! this is unbelievable. they have a note on the table saying to stay calm and respect your waitress because of the lack of waitresses. that doesn't mean that's an excuse to have not a great time. read more

The spot is a perfect little Hideaway off the beaten track make some reservations or swing by in the summer and sit outdoors. Really cool you have a choice read more

Great people, food and service in a bistro styled atmosphere. What else can you ask for?

One of our favorite places to go. Great selection of entrees. The seafood pizza is amazing! Inside the house is quaint. Love the fireplace in the winter. Nice to sit outside in nice weather. Reasonable prices for a very special place. It's a hidden gem in the North Hills. Worth the drive there! read more

Five stars is a rarity for me. My only negative is on me, not on them. I have lived within 20 minutes of this place for over 15 years and I just went there for the first time a week ago. Shame on me and definitely my loss. We will be back and we will bring others or tell others to go. We sat at a table in the bar area and Trevor, the bartender, was also our waiter. Great bartender and great server. They make awesome cocktails and have a nice beer selection. The food portions were enough to fill but not obnoxious just for show. Taste and quality are obviously more important. We had apps, salads, mains and drinks, and everything was superb. Don't be a fool like me and keep putting off your visit. Go there tonight and enjoy read more

We had Long Island Iced Tea Cocktails. They were cold, strong and tasty. For dinner: Stacked Meatloaf, Beef Tips w/ Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus , Pork Loin w/ Spaetzle & Sauerkraut. Dessert was Apple Strudel, ice cream and whipped cream. All were excellent and tender. The service was friendly, attentive and well paced. Nice quiet place. We have been customers for four years and always come away satisfied. read more

It was everything about the experience the atmosphere, the food and the service was all together fantastic. If you haven't been there it's time to make a plan, you won't be disappointed. read more

Been driving past this place twice a week for about a month. Not open Monday it seems but went today and glad we gave it a shot. Had wings, which were very meaty. The leek soup is no lie from the previous reviews, great! Pizza, not too thick, not too thin but crispy on the bottom, really good. Haddock Battered fish hanging off the bun with some nice HOT fries. Ranch and blue cheese taste homemade (I believe they are). Steak cooked perfectly medium rare with smashed reds and some thick cut buttered carrots (odd to have two starchy veggies together, but the reviews on both were good so it was worth the extra carb intake). Bread served was superb, trying the pasta with it next time. Glass of wine and it rounded out to be $70+ bucks. Will most certainly be back either before or after vision therapy. No doubt bringing family and friends. Wish Apollo had great food like this! read more

I gave the place 5 Stars because even though the restaurant is way out in the country and you could hit a deer the food and decor was amazing. In the past it was a pub and still has a nice bar and patio the dining room is decorated nicely. The food was nicely portioned and not overly pricey plus the staff was really friendly I would stop again. read more

First time visit, sat outside, it was a nice night and the patio was nice (chairs a bit uncomfortable but there are tables with a bench you can pick). Waiter was great. BUT 2 of us came first and we were not allowed to order an appetizer or drink until full party was there. Hmmmm. That is a loss of money on their part but we kept begging and they "allowed" us to order which was good since the rest of our party was late by 15 minutes. I ordered a salad and although it was ok, nothing special for $10 (I was excited about the beets but there were just 3 canned beets on the plate) I added chicken which came to $17, again nothing really great about it. Was really like leafy lettuce with chicken. Will I go back? Probably not, I can get a really good salad locally (north hills area) for the same price or most likely cheaper. read more

Cozy little venue. Food is outstanding with very efficient service. Sit in the bar area if a booth is available or sit at the bar.

Fantastic atmosphere and great people. Absolutely delicious food. Tried the leek soup as suggested on Yelp, you have to get it! The lobster bacon pizza caught my eye, so I had to have it. Need to come back again to try more great food! Thank you! read more

This place was kind of all over the map for me, but ultimately pretty solid food. The location is VERY small.. we had to wait for our table for a bit and were shuffling every 90 seconds as you can't help but be in the way. I get the sense this is a family run operation as our server's (very hard working and sweet) young son brought things to our table a few times. We had a party of 12 so luckily I got to try a lot. The good- buffalo chicken dip appetizer. The very good- burgers and steak sandwich. The not so good- ravioli (noodle was fine just not a fan of the sauce at all, and the pizza was not great either. Overall, our group left satisfied and would return. read more

Always a great time with great people and filled with great food. I've never had a dish that wasn't absolute perfection. Tonight's choice was a white pizza with bacon, spinach, banana peppers and loaded with cheese. Awesome staff and a great atmosphere. read more

What a find! Delicious. We are newish to the area and went today for dinner. We had the Saxonburger and the fish sandwich. Also the leek soup and cannoli. It couldn't have been better. Very friendly and efficient service too. We're going back tomorrow. read more

I stopped in for brunch here while on a leisurely Sunday drive across the Red Belt. I was seriously impressed with the food! The menu is small, and weighted much more toward "br" than "unch," but it's quite inexpensive and the portions are massive. I had something called the Bakerstown Frittata, which was a bit under 9 bucks and had three eggs with mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, bacon and sausage, with shredded Parmesan cheese on top. It was served in a heavy skillet with thick, hearty slices of toast. It was totally delicious. The service was just right -- I clocked, in my hour at the restaurant, no less than five refills of my coffee. I will definitely be back to check this place out for dinner. If you're looking for a welcoming brunch experience outside the city limits, trek up north and hit Zottola's. Worth every penny and more. read more
