"I get to Kzoo every May for the Medieval Congress. Zazios is the best restaurnat in town. Reasonably priced--especially the drinks. Imaginative food. Good wine list again reasonably priced. Excellent service."

"When I lived in Ann Arbor 40 years ago I was too poor to eat out, so it was a delight to return and find such a good restaurant, chosen on the basis of Trip Advisor reviews. Everything (good) about the restaurant must be true, and we had a delicious and thoughtful dinner. Our four dishes (two firsts, two seconds) were interesting without being precious and the wine list was appropriate without being pretentious. Whenever I come back to A2, I'm sure to come again."

"Went to Zazios for anniversary dinner. The staff went above and beyond what was expected of them. We mentioned why we were at the restaurant, and with out prompt the staff write out a gorgeous chocolate plate with happy anniversary on it. Reservations were simple and the ambiance was good for a romantic dinner. Would recommend."

"Pork appetizer was amazing. Steak was nicely prepared. White fish with cauliflower and spinach lacked some taste. Apple dessert was delish!"

"Overall ambiance was almost commercial. And not just because of the stadium seating, (or cooking class), whichever. Bar was intimate and after that romanticism disappeared. "Recommend Zazios" was a toss-up. I'm sure that many would like it there."

"Food was not as good as was had in the past. Skipped appetizers, but did split pasta entrees.Pastas were all average, despite being fresh. Lacked real flavor in the sauces.Ordered Gelateo for dessert. Worst texture we ever had there. The scoops came out crusty and were not creamy. We left disappointed."

"Zazios was very disappointing. I took my girlfriend out on a date there for her birthday. The server was impressive at first, but he soon became nowhere to be seen. Eventually, we were being served by random managers. The restaurant was not even busy, so perhaps they need to do a better job of scheduling servers. The most disappointing thing was the lack of value of the food. For the money we paid, the portions were small and the food was extremely forgettable. I would never go back to Zazios and I would never recommend it to anyone else."

"Zazio's was a nice experience, our server was friendly and knowledgable and the service was prompt. Entrees were prepared correctly to temp and dessert was fabulous; presentation of food was elegant yet not over-the-top."
