Only problem was it was a little loud. I can only imagine what it’s like full!

Great food and drinks. Gluten free pasta was tasty. Try the limoncello – best cocktail.

First time here and this place is less than a mile from my house! My husband and I would pass by it every time we went to Tony’s and we would see so many cars there. Figured we gotta check this place out! Loved it! Very rustic and cozy vibe! Food and service was amazing! Truly felt welcomed! And the value was ..wow! For 3 ppl- We had Appetizers, entrees, and a bottle of wine – spent much less than dining at some bougie Italian restaurant in downtown Chicago! entrees are big portions too (I know mine was). How’d we miss not coming here! I think my husband and I found ourselves a new hangout for a cozy drink and dinner! Amiamo questo posto ♥️

We had really high hopes for this restaurant, on first impression we walked into the restaurant and there was a terrible odor that smelled like cleaning chemicals and stale water. We asked to sit outside and really enjoyed the vibe on the patio. Plenty of sun covering made out enjoyable as the sun set. The complimentary bread was delicious, but the food everyone ordered was just so disappointing. Large portions of flavorless food. Very overcooked seafood, over boiled noodles, and chewy beef. Their minestrone soup is very good. I wish I would have stopped at the bread and the soup.

Food was delicious. I had the lasagna which was a huge portion. Others had chicken dishes which they all said was delicious. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. Located in a strip mall with lots of free parking. Nice outdoor patio as well. I definitely will go back. The only con is it gets very loud inside. I did notice a private room for parties which was occupied.

What an absolute delicious dinner that my significant other and I had two nights ago. Everything about this place is amazing and delicious, service? 11/10, food? 11/10, atmosphere? 11/10. We are definitely coming back for next weekend because we loved it that much.

I’ve been a customer for over twenty years and 3 owners. The quality has been falling steadily over the past 6 months . The pizza and other food tastes nothing like before.

This is our new favorite Italian restaurant. I can’t believe we’ve lived in Arl. Hts. for 20 + years and never ate here until now. My wife and I went to La Zingara last week based on a review I saw and we absolutely fell in love with the European atmosphere. There’s a feeling that this is a place the “locals” frequent regularly. It reminded us of a small restaurant we went to in Italy back a number of years ago. The staff was very attentive and the food was outstanding. We loved it so much we went there again last night along with our son. Our waiter was Antonio. It was as if he had a 6th sense. Every time there was something I was thinking about asking for…he was bringing it to our table before I even had a chance to ask. He attended to our every need and was so friendly and courteous. The food was again spectacular. Our son had the ravioli, my wife had chicken breast, and I had the veal. All 3 dishes were wonderfully prepared. As I understand, we’re not the first to claim to drive by this place 1000 times over the years and then finally stop to try it and become regulars. I highly recommend you try it out. You will not be disappointed. As stated, this is a new favorite for our family.
