    This was a delicious and fun dinning experience. Our server, Marty, made the night! He was witty and engaging, and made fabulous recommendations. The bolognese, risotto with crab and leek, and the pistachio tiramisu were all EXCEPTIONAL. We will be back. I highly recommend Zitto Zitto

    I did the tasting menu with wine pairing in the main dining room. Food and wine were absolutely excellent, and portions were generous. Ambience, decor and service were great. It was a bit noisy at times due to some very loud individuals at other tables, but that’s coming with larger groups and Christmas party season. The rest of the menu looks spectacular, I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

    Marty, our server, was awesome. Knowledgeable but more importantly had a great attitude, very witty. First time in a long time that I felt a server deserved every cent of his/her tip. I will be asking for him next time we go back.

    Beautiful menu and atmosphere. Service attentive and professional. I had the grilled sardines and the roasted shellfish (graniti?). Unfortunately, both orders overcooked and dry. Wines beautiful. Maybe I ordered the wrong dishes?

    Another spectacular meal with spectacular service. If not for the extraordinary loud table next to us, it would have been a perfect dining experience. (Best grilled ribeye I have had. Get a side of rapini. And the burrata and prosciutto app is lovely.)

    Fabulous Food. The service was incredible, our server (whose name I cannot remember but will never forget him!) was very attentive. Four of us each got a different plate, all plates were very good - the pork chop was to die for as well as the seafood plate. Will certainly be coming back again. Thank you Zitto Zitto team!!!

    The food is creative and delicious. Pastas cooked perfectly, love the seafood, and the 14 oz steak was quality meat and cooked medium rare as ordered. Inventive and very sip-worthy cocktails. Wines by the glass. Really nice outside patio. Pleasant and attentive service. Always a great evening.

    Zitto Zitto is our favourite special occasion restaurant in the city. Gorgeous patio in Little Italy. Anita is a delightful host and the staff are relaxed and attentive. The food is delicious, especially the seafood grill. My margarita was perfect (which is a delight outside a Mexican restaurant) and the cocktail list is varied and inventive - we finished with an Amaro Nonino, it felt like Christmas in August. Such a treat
