    Fantastic show and great food! Loved watching all the many talents of the cast. They incorporated a wide array of art forms and comedy. The show is catered more for adults and couples than it is for family. Our waitress, Amanda, was the best and so attentive the entire night. They change their show completely every 6 months, so you can come back and enjoy the experience again! Highly recommend.

    Entertaining aerial circus dinner theatre! It's worth the price. Make an evening of it - arrive early for drinks and photos. You can end up spending quite a bit buying extras during dinner - but the 4 courses are plenty. The wine and cocktails are good, so make your own choices. We had the mushroom risotto cakes, chicken, and pork shoulder at our table and enjoyed them all. The chocolate cake is RICH and if spring for rainbow cake you will be rewarded with deliciousness. The show itself is paced around dinner theatre. The aerialist acts are great!! The jugglers are good. The tableside bubble sculptures are fun. The MCs, singing, and band make you feel welcome, even if you end up being slightly embarrassed and end up in the show. Everyone from my 10 and 12 year old nephews to the adults 40 to 75 had a great time. ZinZinna doesn't take itself too seriously, and everything is done with love and a desire for you to have a great time. If you are looking for a fun evening, come to ZinZinna.

    My father and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. I gifted my father some tickets for us to go. As soon as we were about to enter every one from staff, bartenders and literally everyone was so great and accommodating. The drinks were amazing, I had the Feelin’ Good and damn, it was delicious. The three course meals were wonderful. We ordered additional bread with warm honey butter? Regardless, so delicious and amazing. The show is impeccable! 5 stars, I highly recommend going and checking it out. My father and I were told in September there a new show, which will gladly return. It’s so much fun, delightful and full of chaos (good chaos!) Everyone is involved and part of the show, it’s quite beautiful and fun! We enjoyed it so much. 100% recommend!

    Legitimately blown away by the show. I was expecting to be entertained, sure, but my jaw was dropping all night. Top-tier performances by the entire cast. Live band A+. Vocals A+. Magic/Comedy/(Seduction?) A+! And I don’t want to give the entire show away, but EVERY SINGLE PERFORMER throughout the evening was A+! The hospitality from start to finish was excellent. Nothing but warm smiles, playful banter, and caring service from every staff member I interacted with. I wish I could express my thorough enjoyment of the evening more than I already have, but words are not my forte. I’ll just have to settle for bringing people with me the next time I attend. And there will be a next time. If you are even considering visiting Teatro ZinZanni, do it now. Don’t wait. Consider this your sign.

    An absolutely incredible experience. A night to remember. We went to Zinzanni for the first time and weren’t sure what to expect. Needless to say our minds were blown. The food was INCREDIBLE (they served a 4-course dinner alongside the show) and the drinks were strong. 🍸😊 I was absolutely moved to tears by the beauty of some of the performances. I honestly felt like I was at cirque du soleil or some Broadway play. The energy and love coming from the performers is so palpable and makes the experience so amazing.. do yourself a favor and go. What do you have to lose? It will be the best night of your life.

    I wish Chicago had more dynamic, immersive, and fresh theatrical experiences like Teatro Zinzanni. Saw the show last night with my partner and we had a really amazing time! The talent on display was incredible including a contortionist, a magician who works the crowd like the best of them, some gravity-defying aerial artists, a trick basketballer, and a vocalist that shook the roof! And the food was really, really delicious - we recommend the elote fritters or sweet and spicy cauliflower for an appetizer and the apple pastry with ice cream for dessert was incredible. The Unrequited Love and No Strings Attached cocktails were so good, I ordered more drinks than I usually do. Yes, the ticket is pricier than other shows, but that includes a really delicious dinner (it was far above the kind of catered food you might expect at a show like this) delivered by superb wait-staff who are friendly, energetic, and quick as lightning. Shout out to Bridget, Margaret, and Kayla on the waitstaff!

    I enjoyed all the performances, the show was great! I was taken there for my birthday. Absolutely enjoyed myself. The band and singer was top notch! The only downside for me was the food, we all left there hungry. The night we went the bread on the table was too hard for my teeth, I do not like olives so I couldn’t eat the bowl of olives on the table. I ordered salmon, it was cold and it didn’t come with a side (no bed of spinach or rice or mashed potatoes, only a few veggies. Not even a 1/4 cup) However the dessert was cheesecake and it was delicious. Next time I would eat before I arrive.

    Totally awesome and amazing show! Captivating performers with such a high skill level. This show was better than the ones I have seen in Vegas. Food is just ok but the show is stellar. Highly recommend.

    Had such a phenomenal time at Teatro ZinZanni. Worth every penny for a yummy dinner and totally entertaining show. It was perfectly paced and rehearsed. Our lovely server Bridget seemed on a mission to ensure we had the best night and mission accomplished! I will be recommending to all my friends who want a unique night in the heart of the city. I also really appreciate that the menu had a vegetarian option and our server was able to help me find a drink to my liking that wasn't on the menu :)

    You want to go to this show and dinner! Completely exceeded all expectations, all members of cast, staff and crew were professional, in character and very fun! Very unique and eclectic mix of entertainment with a fun storyline. Cast is interactive with patrons - get close to the action! Highly recommend.

    The show was truly magical in so many aspects. The ambiance and allure is palpable from the moment you exit the elevator and enter into the venue. All the staff was warm, inviting, and exceedingly helpful. The show itself was amazing! It was incredibly humorous, sexy, and full of positivity mixed in with quips. I would recommend people who just want to watch the show, buy tickets in the outer ring. The inner most rings get a lot of interaction and become part of the show itself. Also I would recommend dressing to impress and having fun with it! It’s very burlesque/circus themed and is the perfect venue to really go all out with wardrobe. The food was slightly subpar but the drinks, atmosphere, and level of service made up for that small imperfection.

    The wonderful evening starts the moment you enter the front door and continues upon entering the lobby upstairs. All the staff and environment welcomes you. The show is fun, exciting, and continues to uplift you. My forth time, hopefully it will be here a very long time.

    To say my husband and I were impressed by Teatro ZinZanni would be the understatement of the century! From the moment we walked in the door, it was pure Magic. Every single person from the hostesses to the wait staff to the performers were warm, welcoming and engaging. The food was spectacular, we shared the pork shoulder and the falafel, both of which were delicious, the pork shoulder in particular was really something to write home about! At the recommendation of our waitress, we tried the elote fritters, wow! So glad she made the recommendation as they were divine. Cocktails were also 10 out of 10, and we tried several of them. The show itself was nothing short of sensational. I had high expectations going into the evening, and Teatro Zinzanni blew my expectations out of the water! Lucy Darling might be one of the whittiest, funniest, most charming performers I've ever been fortunate enough to see. Sa'Rayah has the voice of an angel, holy smokes can that woman sing! Wow! The chemistry between Oliver and Cassie during their acrobatic number was captivating, and they were both so engaging and charming throughout the show, Cassie's commitment to character in particular was impressive and fun to watch! Not to be under sold, the performances by Danila who did the hair hang acrobatic number, Lea on the hoop, Michael with the basketballs and Ulzii the contortionist (who I'm not fully convinced has bones!) all gave 10/10 performances, and not just with their incredible tricks and talents, but their engagement with the audience, their acting chops, and their charisma. Thank you to every single one of the people involved in making this show possible. This is one of the most memorable date nights my husband and I have spent together! It's not often you get a chance to experience this level of talent in such an intimate setting. Just wow, wow, wow! We will most definitely be back, and I will be sending everyone who will listen to experience Teatro ZinZanni!

    It was incredible. Honestly a great show with great fun, abided by COVID protocol, and had very good food. The drinks were awesome and I can’t wait to come back and see another show. Even the server named Aiden was serving!!!!!! Thank you!!!

    The place looked cool, the tent was amazing, wasn't sure what to expect of the show, but once it started, it was non-stop fun and amazement! Top of the line acrobats, the magician/comic was quick witted, and so funny, and the "owner's" voice, accompanied by the super capable live band, was incredible! The staff were efficient and you never realized they were there unless you needed something. Expected maybe a little cheesiness, but honestly, this was a night of SOLID entertainment! Go! Then go again, and not just when you've got friends in town...

  • 5/5 Madeline G. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely magical. You feel like you are in the middle of the “Greatest Showman” set all night. The acting, singing, dancing, acrobatics, comedy, and MORE was pure magical entertainment. I will tell anyone and everyone to come to this show if they are visiting Chicago. In fact, I’ve already started. 10/10/10/10/10!! I will be thinking about this fun night for a long time!
