Zanti Cucina Italiana - River Oaks Houston Reviews
I dinned back in January and ordered the Nicholas
I dinned back in January and ordered the Nicholas Feuillatte champagne, my favorite. In September, I looked at the menu to see if anything changed, because menus do change, and the champagne was on their website. When I got to the restaurant, it wasn

Went to Zanti for a drink and appetizers with my friend, we sat at the bar. When I arrived, I felt like the hostess wasn't too thrilled to be there. She was not very friendly at all. The place is very loud. Very pretty restaurant tho. The food a

Alese is amazing!!! We had a table of 8 for a baby shower and she made sure everything ran smoothly and made our experience so enjoyable! The staff, food, and live music made our night!

*Credit Card Surcharge* My wife and I are long-time customers of Zanti and only this weekend spotted a new 'tax' on our bill, a 3% surcharge when using a credit charge. Another case of businesses passing on operating costs to their customer

Nice atmosphere and Ambiance is on point but I'm afraid the food and service was lacking Pizza was extra FLIMSY AND EXPENSIVE, beef tar tar was lacking flavor also I'm afraid that I won't be coming here again
My husband and I decided to try Zanti for Houston
My husband and I decided to try Zanti for Houston Restaurant Weeks, and while there were definitely highlights, the overall experience felt meh. First off, complimentary valet is a big plus, since parking in this area can be a challenge. Even for a
The ambience is beautiful.
The music is so loud it's impossible to hear. First, had crafted cocktails at the bar, then moved to a table. Five of us could not hear one another talk. The food was okay, but quite expensive, prices somehow were more expensive for the same dr
You're paying for the ambiance and presentation.
Gorgeous restaurant, service is great, but the food is lackluster. Started off with some drinks, and both cocktails I had were very good. For appetizers, we ordered the mediterranean hummus, charcuterie board, black truffle beef tartare, and octopu

Because of all the TikTok hype, we tried this with high hopes. It failed on multiple levels. The food was just okay, not great at all. The Zanti artichoke had a good sauce but the artichoke was pretty sad. The pappardelle was small and had a strang
This place was amazing.
Had dinner here with a couple of girlfriends and everything we ordered right down to the drinks was top notch. We will def be back!

My experience was 5 star all round! From the decor, to the service to ...of course the food. If you want an experience then I would highly recommend. Our server went through the menu with us explaining many of the dishes and recommended the most popu

It's a pretty atmosphere but the food is not great and overpriced. Frutti di mare had many broken shells in it which was not great to get within bites. Service was wonderful!
The ambiance and decor is beautiful.
The service was also good. What lacks is the food. My friends and I started with the hummus, which didn't taste fresh. Then I got the parpadelle...it was very subpar. It lacked flavor and needed a ton of seasoning. My girlfriend also had the same thi

Great place upscale but portions ain't that big as the price . But otherwise good. Parking is a bad but you have valet in the area
The food was pretty good, but our server Sophia was awesome.
She was very accommodating and friendly and held a great conversation. Very hardworking young lady. Thank you Sophia!
The bread was charcoal grilled and had a strange smoke
The bread was charcoal grilled and had a strange smoke flavor. The other items were just average dishes at above average pricing. The service staff were great. The restaurant is beautiful
This place wishes it was in LA but it's not, it's Houston.
I should have known when we walked in for brunch and the place was basically empty. Our server was dismissive of every request - we asked for a side English muffin which she said they didn't have any (despite serving eggs Benedict which explicitly s

We came here for Mother's Day - my mom had a really nice time. Really nice ambience. Great service. Food was alright - nothing to write home about tbh. I heavily weight my reviews based on taste...I'll take sh*t service and great food any day of th
Came for dessert.
The ambiance and service was amazing! The tortino lava cake was delicious! Will be returning for lunch or dinner.
Pasta is always a good idea.
A friend was in town and I just had to take her to experience some wonderful food in the city. We split a pizza, and it was simply divine. It's the type of pizza that you enjoy with a glass of wine and a fire nearby perfect for a rainy day or any day

The pastas were amazing! Our servers were so helpful and kind. The restaurant was nice and had a nice intimate feel to it.
Ambiance: A lively, trendy, cool vibe.
Not too fancy or pretentious. This place is fairly big. Great for a group dinner with friends or a romantic date night. The bar area looked fun and I also noticed a private back dining room that would be great for a large group dinner. They had a DJ
This is a great restaurant with amazing food selections!
This is a great restaurant with amazing food selections! The interior is amazing- this is a great date night place or ladies night out- our service was exceptional- - the food was fresh and tasty beyond words - A must try for sure !
The food was okay.
Thought it would/ could be better. I got the rigatoni and I thought I could make it better at home if im being honest. It just tasted not really authentic. The drinks were amazing though! Only reason I'm giving it a 3 star. Could be worth a try for s

This is definitely among the best italian restaurants in Houston. Would recommend the grilled octopus and the truffle pasta. Pretty much anything on the menu is delicious. Only hiccup was one time the rigatoni was undercooked and too chewy. For a hig
Delicious.
You can tell the quality of the ingredients. Service is great. They have live music often and even a dj during late night. I can't wait to have dinner there again!
Such a great dinner for a special occasion.
Their drinks were delicious & we were seated on their heated patio which was so cozy! The cacio e Pepe salad was so unique but very good, I do wish it was in a bigger dish or precut and tossed for us. I understand it's for presentation but it was
Our first time here.
Just gotta say.... Thank goodness the food was actually quite good because our service tonight was actually very awful. (He was the waiter with the ponytail) He did not check up on us, did not know about the wine selection we had inquired, and not on

The food here is amazing!! It's consistent and has always been quality ingredients every time. Service is really good too. The ambiance is kinda sexy and fun.
Dinner and the service was great at Zanti.
Our waiter made our charcuterie board with his choices and I will definitely say they were great choices. I'm also a big fan of carajillo and this is one of the best that I have tried. The place was very nice so definitely dress to impress

Changing my review because this place was very tasty and a 4 star is not warranted solely because I did not care for the presentation of a dish.

I searched high and low on Yelp for good pasta in the area.
I ordered a togo pasta bolognese via phone call-in and pick-up order. The person on the phone was very distracted and seemingly overwhelmed. I asked for a recommendation vs the bolognese and another pasta dish and she said I couldn't sub the meat bec

Great place!! Knowledgeable staff, amazing drinks and the piano man was super fantastic! Heard they don't really have a brunch? Weird for that location but highly recommend for dinner!
Amazing cheeseboard, great service, love the piano!!! Pasta
Amazing cheeseboard, great service, love the piano!!! Pasta is good although I like to keep the carbs low. Great ambiance!
I really w joyed this place.
I ordered the truffle pasta and beef tartare. The tartare was amazing, but I don't see why they think bringing out a hot pot and metal pan enhances the experience when it came to the pasta. A cheese wheel is more exciting.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Italian restaurant and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly and welcoming staff who showed me to my table.The menu was extensive and ful
Finally I had stopped by here for a early dinner.
It's really a nice restaurant. Love the decors. It was too bad that the patio was full but we still enjoyed sitting inside. We had order glasses of champagne for our starters. The beef tartare with truffle was the best! We also had lamp shank, to me,
Love the ambience of this restaurant.

I have such mixed feelings about this place! I could give it 2-3 stars or 5 stars. So we came on a Saturday afternoon a party of 4. We ordered appetizers, calamari and the tuna tartare. I never got my tartare and it wasn't on the receipt so apparentl
This place has a relaxed mod vibe.
We sat on the patio as the weather was perfect. I loved the music. The mussels were great! However I prefer white wine sauce rather than pomodoro. I am going to try the Pappardelle Al Ragu Di Ossobuco as my entreThe Ossobuco was very good and the pas

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Zanti Cucina Italiana - River Oaks Houston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Zanti Cucina Italiana - River Oaks Houston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process

* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.

* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Zanti Cucina Italiana - River Oaks Houston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Zanti Cucina Italiana - River Oaks Houston!
