"My experience at Zingari Ristorante was very mediocre. I came here for my boyfriend’s birthday. Due to covid, we sat on a beautiful rooftop which at first was very romantic, but was unfortunately ruined by the very loud EDM music. We were seated very near the speakers so I understand that it was loud, however, the very EDM music ruined the mood and we had a difficult time communicating despite being right in front of each other. We also sat right next to a heater, but only seemed to produce minimal heat, which was a huge downside when eating around The service was very slow. The waiters were all very nice but the waiter spent hours before bringing our food. I believe we waited for our appetizer, around or more for our entrees, and even for our dessert. This would have been understandable if the restaurant was busy, but we were one of the last tables. We were pretty disappointed by the service. Finally the food was overall very very good. My boyfriend got the veal steak and I got the pappardelle de la nonna. Both were very good but my pasta was a bit over seasoned, which is surprising because usually I always like my food extraseasoned. The veal steak is definitely a masterpiece though. The appetizer was mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto. It tasted very good, but there could have been more mozzarella and less prosciutto. The desserts were cheesecake and profiteroles. Both were excellent and no complaint!Overall, I was a dissatisfied but the food remained good"

"This has been one of our go to Italian restaurants in Pasadena for many years. But it is VERY unlikely that we will be there ever again. We were there to celebrate a family birthday with high expectations. But the evening began poorly when we had to ask twice for someone to take our drinks order. Once we were all seated with drinks served, our then friendly waiter Mario told us of the specials and took our orders. Then the real problems began. One of my expectations in good restaurants is for all orders to be served together. This didn 't happen. 3 meals were served, but the final 2 were at least 5 or more minutes behind. But the worst part was the food. Our 2 vegetarian guests ordered linguini alfredo, which was inedible. Another guest ordered the halibut special. I have never seen an entree served with such a tiny piece of fish! I 'm guessing that it couldn 't have weighed more that 2-3 ounces, and it was severely over cooked and dry. It was a disgrace to see such a tiny piece of fish served on a dinner plate which was largely empty. My husband 's chicken parmesan was similarly tiny, overcooked and stringy. It was served with 2 tiny pieces of cauliflower on the side. A disgrace! My pasta dish was the only acceptable meal served to us. And to make things worse, the waiter never checked on our table again until the plates were being removed. No one was there to refill water glasses. And our request for grated cheese was ignored. I had to go out into the hallway to ask for someone to bring some to our table. At the end of our meal, the waiter RELUCTANTLY removed the uneaten alfredo dishes from our bill. When we asked to speak to the manager, he claimed that the manager wasn 't there. All in all, an experience NOT to be repeated."

"My wife and I wanted a nice laid-back place to sit outside and enjoy a fun dinner. We ended up being very disappointed by the service. Our server took about 10-15 minutes to get to the table (which feels like an eternity when you are waiting to order beverages). They took our drink order and quickly returned with a cocktail and waters but the beer we ordered was delayed by a few minutes. Not a big deal, but then the night went south. We didn't see our server again for a very long time. We started to feel like our appetizer was a little delayed when food runners showed up with our entrees. No app in sight. We let them know and eventually the server brought our app. But we were halfway into the meal by that point. The food tasted fine. Nothing extraordinary but not bad. The nachos, I admit, were delicious. The mac and cheese we ordered was described to have bread crumbs but was missing that. Fortunately the server had it taken care of pretty quickly. We were never asked about having our drinks refilled. And after eating, we waited a long time for our check. It just seemed to take forever for everything. None of the problems by themselves would have been a big deal, but together it added up to a somewhat unpleasant experience. The server was nice and apologetic. They also comped us the appetizer which was nice. May have been an off night or maybe a new server, but I can't say I would recommend going on a Saturday night. Also, we did enjoy the outdoor seating area. It was a little tight, but the ambiance was nice."
