We had a lovely dinner at ZUZU. The restaurant is casual and open. When we were there it was moderately busy and the service was attentive (not intrusive or absent). Multiple servers checked on us during pauses between courses and all were pleasant. The food was really good. We ordered several dishes and each was delicious. I would highly recommend the lentils - a light dish with a nice spicy kick and hint of lemony tang. Lentils and beans were cooked perfectly and the chard was wilted just the right amount, Only odd note, was there was no vanilla gelato for the affogato…not a problem as there were other good choices.

We always love Cafe Zuzu! The food and service is awesome. The only downside is parents who let their children run around the restaurant at brunch. We may just stick to dinner in future.

My friend and I loved our brunch of meatball over creamy polenta, with Brussel Caesar as appetizer. Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent. A lovely experience!
