   Delicious gluten free options! And we were able to order happy hour specials at the table, not just at the bar. Great place to come with friends for a casual celebration or get-together!

   I made a reservation for 6 during Penn parents weekend. I was disappointed to be seated directly in front of the front door. I asked to be moved but there were no other options. If it had been a colder night, this really would have been uncomfortable. We made the best of it. The atmosphere was nice, noisy but we could hear each other. The food was quite good except for the pizza...a bit soggy in the middle. I would consider returning in the future.

   Super good! There is something for everyone on this menu. Their spaghetti squash small plate is my favorite thing on the menu. The Stache pizza and ricotta appetizer are also amazing.

   Good pizza, good food. The gelato was a little lacking, but overall a really great experience and a good place to take our Drexel student when we’re in town.

   Took the family there for my Dad's 90th Birthday. Food was great although it's not your typical Italian restaurant. Service was outstanding. Originally scheduled for 10 people, however, other friends showed up. Zavino was able to accommodate and moved us to a different location in the restaurant. Overall was very happy with our visit.

   Great service and delicious food made this a pleasant surprise after reading some not-so-favorable reviews on the seating. Not where we were. My.family of four, two adults and.two.teenagers, fit comfortably in a four top booth and didn't feel too close to our neighbors at the next table. We enjoyed the Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad and an Arugula salad, small Eggplant Rotini, three small assorted pizzas and a gnocchi entree. Dessert was fantastic also. I would recommend and return to Zavinos.

    Tasty food, at reasonable prices. Menu offerings are a little different to your typical Italian restaurant, which made it more interesting. Nice casual restaurant with great service. Great for a filling up before you go to show or meet friends for drinks. Highly recommend.
