Great food and ambience near the airport

A relatively new addition to the business park near John Wayne airport, ZMario is a nice upscale Italian restaurant that’s worthy of a visit. The decor and ambience is real cozy and there’s tons of rooms for special events if that’s what you’re looking for.

The best part is the prix fixe special for $25 from 5:30 to 6:30. You get a starter, an entree, a dessert and a glass of wine! Awesome deal – it’s basically like 50% off. It’s good Monday through Friday. The only thing is that it’s the chef’s pick and according to the waitress, it’s typically the halibut, just prepared differently each time.

What I ate:
  • ****

    Lots of fresh grated parmigiano cheese. Not too much dressing and the lettuce was nice and crisp. Some crab woulda made it awesome :P

    ****

    The fish tasted very fish and today’s special had it covered with tomato sauce.

    The mashed potatoes were awesome. It was mashed with the skin (my fav) and it was styled real nice.

    The spinach it came with really packed with garlicy flavor. Also nicely shaped into a cylinder.

    ****

    A nice sized cream puff with a chocolatey cream inside and chocolate covered. Quite refreshing actually.

    *****

    Warm chocolate cake topped with vanilla ice cream and covered in chocolate sauce. The cocoa flavor is very strong and it’s excellent. Also comes with crumbled macadamia nuts.

    *****

    A real fat piece of pork. It looks like a double or triple cut. Amazingly, the pork wasn’t that dry which is a feat in itself.

    The pumpkin ravioli was great. The pumpkin filling tasted quite fresh and the pasta tasted very homemade.
