    Excellent service, comfortable, intimate lighting, absolutely delicious food. Blown away by the house made tortellini, and the braised cabbage. We came for my daughter’s birthday as she loves the pizza and basque cheesecake—both divine as usual. We are all vegetarian and Zambri’s always has lots to choose from, so we keep coming back. Thank you for a lovely evening!

    Thank you for celebrating with us! We’re so happy you enjoyed the food and had a lovely evening. We truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    Food was adequate but needs some work on the flavour. They were lacking a bit. Service and ambiance is great but just need to pick up the quality in the flavours to meet the pricing
    Zambri'sResponded on 27 October 2026
    Thank you for sharing this with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the service and atmosphere, but we’re sorry the food fell short of what you expected. We really appreciate the honest feedback and hope to have another chance to give you a better experience.

Casual dress is the guide, comfortable, informal clothing is entirely appropriate for a visit to Zambri’s.

If you want Zambri’s buzzy, lively vibe, Saturday evenings are the pick, guests specifically call out a busy Saturday night atmosphere.

Yes, Zambri's is a popular choice for date night, with a romantic dining room, white tablecloths and atmospheric seating, and guests recommend it for special evenings.

Zambri’s offers a warm, buzzy Italian atmosphere, a welcoming dining room with candles and floor-to-ceiling windows, an airy atrium filled with natural light and planted greenery, and a separate private room that reviewers say is quieter for conversation.
