"Perfect decor: warm, modern, serene, interesting.
Service: friendly and unpretentious. Maybe not perfect service protocol but spirited and charming and helpful (which matters more to me.)
Menu: Extensive tapas and appes; 3-5 interesting entree choices. Interesting italian influenced full of accessible flavors one actually WANTS to eat.
Food: Superbly good. Well prepared, beautifully presented. The chef has eaten the foods he serves. No logistical challenges. Portions are ample. Easy to make a great meal of tapas options.
Wine: Very italian wine list. I always try to have a wine I don't know at Zampa. They will let you taste before they serve, by-the-glass options. I've had better luck with reds than whites at Zampa.
I LOVE ZAMPA"

"Such a lovely place for a Saturday brunch. Beautiful light streaming into Zampa's wonderfully designed space, and a wide range of choices on the menu. Quiet for a Saturday in the Meatpacking District, which is never a bad thing! Will absolutely return for brunch again."

"Our waitress was very indifference towards us. We never received our bread basket. It was not the worst, but it's not great either. Not coming back & not recommending it to friends."

"A lovely surprise.The restaurant was pretty full (for a Monday night) so we expected it to be noisy but it wasn't. The food was excellent, service also excellent. We will certainly go back there again."

"We used to love Zampa (crazy about the lasagne, for instance), then it became a bar scene and the noise kept us away, then, once, we were there late on a weeknight and it was deliciously peaceful. So we returned this time on a Friday night, and it was simply intolerable. Very crowded, food produced and served carelessly, and deafeningly noisy. On these occasions, it is not a restaurant, it's a bar for twenty-somethings. If that's what you'd like, by all means go there."
