Intimately sized and family run. Authentic Italian using real and fresh ingredients. I'd say it's my favorite Italian in all of Atlanta by far!! Try to go twice a month... A diamond in the rough in historic Roswell. read more

If I could keep this fantastic Italian restaurant a secret I would so I could always get a reservation! We have lived in the Roswell/ Alpharetta area for 36 years. Zuzzu tops them all. The freshest ingredients and perfectly plated like a masterpiece. Cozy atmosphere and Italian music softly playing in the background made for a perfect come as you are experience. Experienced staff was pleasant and on point. The Owner Chef shared his delicious cooking method. read more

We came here for a special occasion dinner. The service was great, and the table bread was very good also. The menu is quite large, and includes pizza and pasta. We ordered two pasta dishes. The entrees were decent, but nothing special. We ordered the gnocchi, which didn't have a great consistency. The chicken with artichokes was good, but it didn't come with the vodka sauce or cheese that was in the description. Portions were also small. For the price, I didn't love the ambiance in there either. I would be willing to try it again, but will order the pizza next time. read more

We met some friends for dinner on a recent Saturday night. We had reservations, but there were some tables slow to clear. It's a small, cozy place, so we understood. We were only about 10 minutes late getting seated, which didn't bother us. The owner, Luigi, wanted to make sure we were taken care of. He chose some of his favorites for our meal. We were more than happy to let him surprise us. It was wonderful. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Such a special night. Can't wait to go back! read more

Terrific food, very good service, fun ambience, though far too loud for romantic intentions.

Simply the best choice for Italian / Sicilian cuisine in Georgia. My favorite. Everything is special on the menu - you won't be disappointed. read more

Made reservation via OpenTable. Arrived and were told we were not "on the list." Showed the hostess the CONFIRMATION. Restaurant opened up a "no show" inquiry. WTH? read more

ZuZZu - The damned CONFIRMATION WITH THE CONFIRMATION NUMBER. - Italian Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

Food was excellent. Service staff was unhelpful and unhappy. Highly recommend for takeout.

We went for the first time on a Saturday night and the place really filled up quickly. The restaurant is located just outside the buzz zone of Canton Road and you don't need to pay to park! :-) The lot next the restaurant is very small, but there is plenty of parking right across the street. First I will compliment the food and the service - both were very good. This was a nice surprise - when you walk in the place looks like a pizzeria in the midst of being upgraded. Not a negative, but not what we expected when you review the website. The place is pretty small and the tables are fairly close. Food was priced well; the dish we wanted to try (scallops) was out of stock. While I see the place has been around for a while, a few suggestions - Our table's top was totally busted. Not the usual put a wedge to fix a crooked table, but the table itself was broken. Our server apologized and we were immediately offered a seat at the bar. We didn't want to sit at the bar - we reserved a table - so we decided to stick it out. Apparently the table has been broken for a while too. Fix it, replace it, or get rid of it. Service was good, but food delivery was ridiculously fast. We ordered and had our appetizers in a couple minutes - that is good. Our entrees came out, no joke, a couple minutes later. Again our server apologized, but we each had just had a couple bites of the appetizers and now the table was covered in plates. First time for us, but if you order - order your appetizers and after you are almost finished or finished, order your entrees. This was not enjoyable and we felt rushed and the table was small (and broken). We consolidated plates to make room, but only the server was clearing tables. She was serving most of the place herself, but there were a couple other people walking around just talking to people. It is a small place with small tables - everyone should help and grab empty plates, bottles, glasses as they walk around. I had to ask someone to clear the stack of plates and empty bottle we had on the table for 15 minutes. Our server was just flat out working most of the tables on her own. Last thing is a pet peeve and annoying- credit card surcharge. Build it into your price - almost no one pays cash, so come on. Once I saw the odd numbers on the check I realized what it was and asked to confirm. It is 4% and I'm willing to pay, but nowhere on your menu, website or the check itself (that I could find) does it say there is a surcharge. To me, just an easy way to keep your credit card fee without having to say, for example, a bottle of beer is $6.75 or $7 instead of $6. Not a killer - food was good - but just annoying. We will try again, but reserve a different table and bring cash. :-) read more

Heard a lot of great things about this place. minimal parking but the food was worth it! i got to try the house salad with balsamic dressing. They tossed it really well because every single piece had dressing on it. Sour and sweet. the *Piccantina Pizza* was pretty good as well. very fresh ingredients and locally sourced if I'm not mistaken. baked quickly in their pizza oven in plain sight. Staff was great. we broke a plate but they acted like we we not a menace. kudos to yall. Thanks! read more

ZuZZu - Piccantina Pizza - Italian Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

My primary issue with Zuzzu is the cost. The place is pretty run down. Just look at the interior of their front door- it looks like it was beaten with a bike chain. C'mon--- $27 for a 5" square of eggplant parm?!?!? Last time I checked at Publix, eggplant was priced at about a buck per pound. While the eggplant parm tasted pretty good- I was unable to identify the main ingredient. It was so mushy. The complimentary bread they provided was awful. No crust. No texture. No flavor. read more

Luigi is a long experienced chef, very knowledgeable of the Italian cuisine. Pasta al dente from every Italian region or city, main course from fish to meet. The antipasti is something to die for. An authentic Italian Restaurant in the heart of Roswell. The place is welcoming with the pizza oven in great view. Thank you Luigi. read more

First time at Zuzzu but will not be the last. The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. Luigi was hands on and very attentive. The rest of the staff was incredible as well. read more

Excellent food! Highly recommend. Authentic. Impeccable taste. Definitely going back ...

I have been to ZuZZus before, under previous ownership. My neighbors and I decided to come back since it was close by and hadn't been here with the new management. The place was packed, and because everyone was seated at the same time, the service was slow-ish. The vibe in the restaurant felt very rushed. When we ordered, my husband asked if one of the ingredients on his pizza could be on the side. After awhile, the manager came back and said that it could not and that he will bring him a completely different pizza. Well, that caught the husband off guard because he did not want the different pizza and in turned, ordered something else. Food was mediocre at best but the kicker was at the end when we were asked to leave because there were other folks waiting for our table. Now, keep in mind, there were 5 of us and we spent a decent amount of money in food and drink and were chatting after our plates were cleared. Also keep in mind, we were only an hour and 45 minutes into being at the table. But, to be told we had to leave to make room for others put a very sour taste in our mouths. Thanks but no thanks, ZuZZu - we will not be back. Our business will go to restaurants who will allow us to remain at their tables, read more

This restaurant was great very family oriented. It's pretty small inside so make sure to have a reservation. There's only a few tables and a small little bar area. We had the pizza which was good. The pizza was thin the way I like them! My friends ordered the pasta dishes which they said were really good. There is a parking lot right out front. This is a few blocks away from Canton Street. We walked there right after dinner it was great. read more

We came here for an important date and the service and food was incredible. Highly recommend. I ordered the spago al gamberi and my husband got the chicken parm. Both dishes were delicious. My dish was so excellent I ate every bite which is unusual for me. read more

We often visited the "old Zuzzu" before it changed hands and it's become a very different experience. We loved the uniqueness of a small and local Italian and it's become just another chain like restaurant. They used to have some great unique wine off a wine list and the wine list is now very average. Gone is the warm fresh bread straight out of the pizza oven and replaced by supermarket like bread. The Caprese was excellent and the shrimp pasta had good flavors but very expensive for what was a very generic dish. Gone is the great Neapolitan pizza made from a pre-fermented dough and it's been replaced by something like a New York style flatbread with tasteless dough which I guess is made on the day. Overall the food and experience is fine but not worth the high prices. It's no longer something different or unique and lovers of the old Zuzzu will be disappointed. read more

Love this local spot! Food is amazing- get the pasta trio or pollo trio for a great sample of everything. The owners are extremely nice and interesting to talk to. 5 stars! read more

verything is amazing here.. food, staff, ambiance.. everything... will definitely return.. Thank you soo much from the Singletons read more

The food was good but it is extremely loud and the restaurant is very hot inside . No fans! It made very uncomfortable and had we come alone I would have left. Will not be returning. read more

So this is has been and continues to be our favorite restaurant in town. We came here to celebrate my wife and my sister's birthdays together. Chef Luigi made this the most memorable dinner you could imagine with plate after plate of masterpieces. We typically go for pizza and the Bolognese but this time relied on their choices for every meal. The entire table shared and there wasn't anything that was less than 5 out of 5. If you can make it here, make a reservation. I can say without doubt it will be one of your favorites if you do. read more

Pasta and service were excellent. Meal started with fresh bread and oil. Not a large pasta selection.

Zuzza has a lot to offer as a restaurant. The food service and ambiance are all wonderful. Our food was great, most of my party got the tortellini on the special list and it was great. It was my first time ever having tortellini and what was so rich and savory, it made my mouth water. The restaurant itself is a smaller, quaint type of place and the service was really great. The wait time for the food was the only downside. Our food took about an hour and a half to come out which wasn't the best but the owner was very nice and even gave us two free deserts. Overall, it was a wonderful meal and I'd definitely recommend it! read more

First time was great. Second and third time service wasn't great. Fourth time today could not get anyone to wait on us . Tried to flag people down a couple times with no success. Left and went to another Italian restaurant so we could order read more

So happy we tried ZuZZu's again! Pizza was excellent! Crust was not chewy, it was just right! Also tried gnocchi. Amazing!! read more

Ordered a couple pies to go. Thought it was pretty good, perhaps a bit expensive. Can't comment on the dine-in experience.

Excellent. We'd go more if it could seat a higher capacity. Great establishment and owner. read more

We had a fantastic meal consisting of lasagna, Saporita pasta and wine. Intimate ambiance, great service!

By far and away, one of the very best, true Italian meals I've ever had. We had lived overseas and traveled through Italy when I was a kid; Zuzu brought it all back to life for me. We started with the calamari, which was perfect. For entree, I had the salmon picata over pasta and my husband had the gnocchi with shrimp. We left nothing behind; so delicious! Owner Chef Luigi checked in on us, making this meal so special and one I'll never forget. You need to try this restaurant if you haven't, and ask for Luigi - this restaurant and him, they are the real deal. read more

First timers. Saw the great reviews and decided we needed to go. I was surprised at how small it was but we were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was quick to greet us and get us drinks. I ordered the eggplant parm special and so did my friend. We noticed that our food was taking a really long time. Our reservation was for 6:30 and at 7:45 we still had not gotten our food. Our waiter explained that they ran out of eggplant so they sent an employee out to the store to buy more rather than telling us to pick something else! When we finally got served, the food was very good. My friend ordered the penne arribiatta but it was so spicy she couldn't eat it. She was the only one that did not enjoy the food. If I was rating on food only, I'd give it a 4+ but the wait, the high noise level and heat in the restaurant lowered my rating. Besides being extremely loud, so much so that we had to yell to speak to one another, it was so hot in there, we were dying. I mean, we were sweating and fanning ourselves. Installing ceiling fans in there would help a lot. Need to mention that our server brought us out complimentary cannoli's because of our long wait. Very nice gesture! We will not go back in the summer but this actually was one of the better Italian restaurants we have gone to in metro Atlanta. read more

I was really looking forward to trying a new restaurant especially Italian cuisine! Which is one of my favorite foods!! Very disappointed especially for the price! One pear salad, (two of us split a salad) eggplant Parmesan and one glass of Pinot Noir. $50 plus tip each person. Total bill $104.00 Both salad and entree very bland, wine was just ok!! Italian food is not expected to be spicy but usually the flavor is fresh and you know it with first bite!! Server was very nice and checked in on us!! read more

Food was excellent but my daughter and I were greeted by a rude host who let us know that they were very busy and dramatically swept his arm out to display the wide array of open tables. He told us our only option would be at the bar. Understanding reservations may exist that could fill the small room, we sat, dined and, surprisingly, only half the restaurant filled in about an hour. Another father and daughter were treated similarly as we witnessed the same event a bit after our arrival. While I truly appreciate the kitchen's talent, not a chance I'd head back with this "manager" in charge. According to the waiter, he's temporarily been placed in charge until the owners return. Godspeed owners on your journey... I hope you don't lose too many customers before you return. You've lost my family on our first visit and we live nearby. read more

We were thrilled to discover one of the premier Italian chefs in Atlanta purchased Zuzzu-a quaint Italian bistro just off the Roswell square. Our food was delicious and authentic as always, the service was warm and friendly. We can't wait to return. Bravo, Luigi! read more

Omg this place was such a pleasure to find! It's small & looks unassuming from the outside. It seems family owned but it's like walking into an Italian family's household for dinner. The atmosphere was super friendly & welcoming. You can tell they care about everything they put out & it all tasted super fresh. They start you with some olive oil dip with bread. We had a seafood pasta dish loaded with mussels (pepata $21) and a pizza but I can't remember what all was on it, just that it was amazing. The cheese pull, y'all. We also had creampuffs for dessert. You need to try this place! read more

Food is mediocre and way over priced (over $300 for a party of 4) and staff doesn't know how to handle the crowd (the place is a whole in the wall) and will ask you to leave before you have finished your wine. Won't be back. read more
