Had Better Days...

Used to be a hotspot. Now the place is dominated by poor food and horrible service. Used to go, now will avoid.

Ravoli

Came very late, cold, and with the salad and bread. Recently (last two months) this place has gone down the toilet. Too expensive for the service and the food.

Incredible Italian!

Zarra’s is an Incredible Southern Italian Restaurant. The business is family run and operated and mostly everything on the menu is made from scratch. A great deal of the menu items come from the families ancestors who arrived in America in the early 20th Century. Each menu item has a wonderful description of the food, as well as a little story behind the dish and it’s family history.

Zarra’s menu ranges from “veggie” to “carnivore”. If you are a vegan you can order one of several options such as the “Beans and Greens” or a wonderful marinara over a homemade pasta. They also serve a tremendous Rack of Lamb and some of the best seafood dishes and combinations (meats, fishes, vegatbles, and pastas) I have ever seen in an Italian Restaurant!

Judy Zarra and her daughter-in-law Jamie Zarra are the Restaurants cooks along with some faithful helpers and they are proud of their homemade food. It isn’t uncommon to see them out of the kitchen once things cool down from up there (Zarra’s Kitchen is on the second floor and a “Dumb waiter” runs food and bus pans up and down) And if you’re lucky enough they might even tell you a family secret to try at home as you sit and listen to the beautiful Itlain music in the background as you chat.

Zarra’s also has some of the best Italian Desserts ever! And they make some classics too, like Baked Alaska, Banana’s Flambee, or Cheeries Jubilee all prepared table side with full flame!

Ask for owner Johnny Zarra to introduce you to his son for some great recomendations off of the wine list and be prepared for a true evening of Italian dining and hospitality. Zarra’s is a one of a kind.

"Tuttu Cosa" di Claudia

Following a fresh romaine salad garnished with beets, olives, tomatoes, kalamata olives and a homemade basalmic vinagrette dressing I was presented with a steaming dish of spaghetti topped with a perfect balance of flavor and ingridients. This entree: “Tuttu Cosa” di Claudia, consisted of garlic and oil sauteed togher until the garlic was a perfect golden brown and then artichoke hearts, kalamata olives and roasted red peppers are mixed into the alie e olio and poured over top of aldente spaghetti which is then topped again with jumbo broiled shrimp and scallops and Johnny Zarra’s own Hot Italian Sausage which was rolled into balls and sauteed a deep golden brown. This dish is a real winner and I highly recommend it to anyone.
