" I loved the idea of supporting local eateries. At Zona 78, I was excited to try the pasta; it looked delicious in the photographs! However, the four-cheese ravioli was kind of bland. Honestly, it didn't taste fresh, more like something you'd get frozen from a grocery store. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was pleasant, but I left feeling disappointed by the food quality. It didn't meet the expectations set by the reviews I read before visiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zona 78 offers a fantastic happy hour! Their small plates are a great deal, and the drink selection is impressive. I tried the calamari as an appetizer and it was just right, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it a great place for after-work outings. Highly recommend if you can make it during happy hour as you can really maximize your dining experience for a good price. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, Zona 78 blew my expectations away! The ambiance is incredibly inviting, and I had the best Eggplant Parmesan of my life. The flavors were well balanced and really captured that authentic Italian taste. Combined with incredible service from our waiter who was attentive but not overbearing, I can't recommend this place enough. Will surely come back next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" We recently celebrated a family birthday at Zona 78 and it was a fabulous evening. The food was superb - I ordered the salmon which was cooked beautifully. Each dish came out hot, and we appreciated the attentive service that didn’t feel overbearing. It was a great place to have a special occasion dinner with family. I definitely left with happy memories. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I visited Zona 78 for lunch last week and had a lovely time. The Mediterranean salad was fresh and refreshing, and we were both pleased with the portion sizes. The atmosphere was mellow and perfect for a midday meal. Desserts were delightful too! We will definitely be back for dinner soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try Zona 78 for the first time, and we were pleasantly surprised! The staff was friendly, and the food came out quickly. The flavors were spot on, especially with the daily specials. I would say portions are excellent for the price. Could definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an enjoyable dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Zona 78. The restaurant looked great and had a nice vibe. However, my order took way too long to arrive, and it was only okay when it got there. I tried the pizza, but it fell flat in terms of flavor. Service could definitely improve, but the atmosphere is nice for a casual dining experience, so I might give it another shot in the future.
