We have been going to this little gem of a place for a few years now after receiving a gift card & trying it out. Love the authentic food, diversity in the menu, & staff. Highly recommend. We especially like the live music on the weekend for a little something different without being blaring pub bands.

Great location, plenty of free parking, nicely decorated, a lot of food choices. As soon as we were seated, we were presented with a basket of warm wonderful home made buns. So good. Then for starters, we shared the fabulous caesar salad to start, then for mains, we had the gorgonzola & pear pizza & the paella followed by dessert of lemon/lime crème brûlée & chocolate tiramisu . All in all very satisfied although,the desserts were great, we found that the price high. No issues with the cost of the other items

Saturday (Feb 25th) was our first visit to Zola's. WHAT A TREAT !! we will definitely be back. The restaurant itself is not particularly fancy BUT THE FOOD, wow! I had their Caesar salad which was amazing, like nothing I have ever eaten at a restaurant before. The fettuccine Alfredo was by far the BEST I HAVE EVER TASTED anywhere! It was a light creamy sauce it was just perfect. I have eaten at many Italian restaurants & had some great homemade authentic Italian meals but Zola's Alfredo was out of this world. My husband had their seafood stew which he said was delicious. Our friends ordered other dishes & each was very happy with the food they chose. As an added bonus Zola's had an amazing live Jazz group performing that evening. The whole experience, & the amazing food & the live music made for an exceptionally perfect evening. We are definitely going back!! Naomi

Had a fantastic evening at Zolas. Supper was delicious & the live music was outstanding. Floyd Hutchinson was singing & Sean Duhaime was playing the guitar. Both have unbelievable talent. One of the only places you can go & have great food & entertainment at the same time.

As always, the food was fantastic, & the waitresses, more than polite & well meaning, were run of their feet. I know that for a restaurant to be always busy, even now, shows just how loyal & devoted both customers & staff are, but they could really use an extra set of hands, particularly at the front desk, to handle reservations versus walk ins, & also service customers waiting in the same jumbled line to buy from their gourmet shop of pre-made items (some gluten & dairy free, along side the traditional offerings), & intentionally sourced fine Italian ingredients. We have been coming for 25 years. We will continue coming, because the food is that good, but we will come an at "an off hour", whenever possible. Luckily most of their menu is available all day, & they are more than accommodating if they are able to be, should you ask off menu. Thank you Zolas for sustaining that true "family restaurant" feel. It's hard to come by these days.

Cozy & friendly atmosphere. Service was excellent! My wife had a pasta dish which was declared to be very good. I had a pizza which I thoroughly enjoyed. We saw different plates going by which also looked amazing! We will return again in the near future!

We were seated in a very nice, quiet corner & had just ordered when a party of 10 people & a baby were seated across from us. It took some time - over half an hour to get food because our server was very busy with the large group. We ended up not being able to order dessert because we had theatre tickets & it took so long to get dinner. The food was very good but the whole experience was a bit frustrating. The restaurant isn't large so it was impossible to hear each other over the exuberant birthday party conversation. We'll definitely ask if there are large parties booked if we make a reservation.
