   The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. Service was a little slow. i was so impressed that the owner, Mike, handed us our credit cards when we were checking out. What a nice touch! I have left my card at the table before but he made sure that was not happening to his guests. Very thoughtful! This was my second visit and plan to go again.

   Dining at Zino was a colossal disappointment. When we arrived, we were the sole diners, and our server was reasonably attentive. He was not thoroughly schooled on the appetizers that were part of the early special, but that was OK. My father and I both ordered cocktails, which arrived promptly. We also both ordered the steak entree, which was tasty and cooked properly, but overpriced. The dining experience fell apart when we tried to order dessert and coffee. The restaurant began to get crowded, and our server was nowhere to be found. When we found him asked what was available for dessert, he dropped menus at our table, but desserts were not featured on the menu. We stopped him again while he was passing by our table, and he promised to return with information. He did not. We asked the greeter for information and tried to place an order with her, but the desserts never arrived, nor did our coffees, which we had asked for three times from the server and greeter. We finally gave up, approached the greeter, and asked for our check. She apologized for the poor service, citing the crowded restaurant as an excuse. She took my name and phone number, saying the owner wanted to call to apologize, but no call ever came. It was my dad's 89th birthday, and I wanted to treat him to a nice birthday dinner. I researched, and found that Zino's had favorable reviews online. Those reviews did not reflect the experience we had, which was horrible. We stopped at Publix for a piece of birthday cake to enjoy at home. My dad is 89, and I don't know how many more birthdays I can enjoy with him. Let's hope this wasn't the last.

   We enjoyed our evening at Zino's. The drinks were good, food was well prepared and reasonably priced and the in house entertainment makes for a nice evening.

   I didn’t stay to eat here because the service was lousy and the accommodations poor. I booked a table for Valentines Day a week in advance. We were placed at a small table in the corner at the very back of the restaurant. Management was un accommodating when I asked to relocate further towards the front where the tables are. more spacious and spread apart. We were essentially ignored and the so called partial owner I spoke to was very sarcastic when I asked to speak with the restaurant manager. Prices were elevated for the holiday and we were essentially ignored invisible to the servers I believe due to where we were seated. After this unpleasant and potentially pricey experience, I got up and left. The other owner was apologetic that he could not help us since he claimed all the other tables were already taken. I am a regular customer there and when the “snowbirds “ leave and the restaurant is no longer crowded during off-season they won’t be seeing me again any time soon. I am also starting to question whether or not Open Table reservations get less priority.

   Good food, good service, great music videos in the background. Not noisy. We will be back again for a music event dinner.

    We were rudely told not to wear a mask. It would give the wrong impression to the reataurant. He never cared about my reason for wearing one. He was more concerned with his precious restaurant. I have to wear one for medical reasons. I wish I didn’t have to. Got a snarky response. Food was typical Americanized Italian and menu unimpressive. You could get better marinara sauce out of a jar. Only one other table in the restaurant the entire time we were there. It’s no wonder they have no business. We would NEVER go back. There are so many good Italian restaurants in the area (including next door), where the food is great and they value their customers.
