Zanti Cucina Italiana - River Oaks

"Zanti has been on my list for a while and it was more than expected. It has complementary valet parking, the service was super fast. Super friendly and attentive host but our server Olivia was the best of the entire night, excellent service, she gave us many options and was attentive to us the entire time, bravo to her The atmosphere and decoration is super chic, they had live music which was excellent and gave it an extra touch. We order Burrata Caprese, Napoletan Pork Pizza, Truffle Cheese Ravioli and Crostata al Limone as dessert. All the food was excellent, everything on point, excellent presentation and quality. It is a highly recommended place, super romantic. I would definitely love to return."

"Sorry, I won't come back and recommend it. The truffle pasta was not good; noodles were overcooked, and the flavor was very bland; not worth the price. The pizza could only be cut in a quarter size (1/4); we asked the waiter to cut it into 8 pieces, and he said cutting in 8 pieces would smash the cheese on the top... Also, other main dishes were not too impressed either, there were so many good Italian restaurants in Houston; skip this one. They did charge $3 per person for cake service when you brought your own cake and cut it by yourself."

"I had the best time at Zanti's for my birthday! Our waiter, Justin was superb. The truffle pasta was amazing. Great service, atmosphere, and food! I would visit again!"

"Visiting from out if town went there for birthday celebration dinner. First visit for us turned out fantastic. Great service, nice ambiance and amazing food made the experience worthwhile. Our waitress (sadly can't remember her name) was simply the best. Very patient, knowledgeable, informative and accommodating. We had hummus, roasted beets and fritters mistook for appetizers. For entree, you can't miss the Branzino. It was salt crusted and fileted table side. Served simply without too much fanfare but the taste was amazing. Brick oven Napolitano style pizza was busting with San marzano tomato taste and flavor. Halibut was simply awesome. Last but not the least they accommodated my wife's restrictions by making her a fabulous customized fettuccine dish that she was thrilled with. Finally you must not miss their desserts. Semifredo and Lava cake provided the perfect ending of a great dinner. They also have a great and extensive wine selection."

"Wow the food, drinks and atmosphere are perfection. Since it was a first time visiting, Allan our server explained everything and recommended a few favorites. I will say the restaurant is a little loud but that’s because everyone seemed to be laughing and having a great time. So i don’t know if it’s a good place for an intimate dinner. I would definitely visit again."
