Did a last-minute reservation an hour before and got a spot for Valentine's Day. My fiancée and I had their 4 course special. Everything was so good, from the appetizers to the main dish (lamb). The strawberry New York cheesecake was a good compliment. We will definitely come back for their regular menu soon. They had excellent service as well.

First off this is such a lovely and cozy restaurant. I hadn't been here in about 10 years and this place didn't disappoint! All of the staff members were so friendly and inviting! Our server Cody was beyond wonderful and made our experience 10/10. Everyone enjoyed their drinks, appetizers, and main dishes. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend coming here!! P.s I LOVE the fact that they have multiple vegetarian options!!!

Was a busy night with a very large party in back room. They were honest about the possible delay of food from the kitchen; no problems. Cocktails were very good. Our waiter, Cody, took time to make recommendations and we had the appetizer special, minestrone soup & salad and Zozo’s chicken. Salads served on cold plates that were still cold after I finished. Pasta served with a spoon so I could get every last drop; and cooked a perfect Al dente. I found the service to be really good, especially considering how busy they were with a large party in the back we’ll be back…

This was my wife and Is anniversary spot for years as this is where we had our first date almost 10 years ago. This past July, we made a reservation a week in advance. When we show up, the older gentleman working as the host sat us at an absolutely filthy table in the corner that was about the size of a chessboard. When we asked to be moved, he flat out told us no. So we decided to leave and asked him to inform the server to which he rolled his eyes. Such a shame, Zozos used to be such a fantastic, reputable, and romantic place with great staff who always made our anniversaries memorable. Now we will be going to Johnnys Ristorante for our special moments.

OMG Zozo's new favorite place. I just had the best birthday dinner. Lobster ravioli appetizers, Rombauer Zinfandel wine already a fan of the chardonnay, calamari steak, and tiramasiu dessert wow fantastic.

Zozo's was very cozy with friendly staff and atmosphere. The is so delicious and hearty portions. Their garlic bread is the bomb!

Waiter Cody was great and food okay. But hard to overlook the shoddy, dirty, neglected environment. Dust everywhere, mood lights out, chipped paint. Will not return.

Really good food. Very friendly service. And the garlic bread is amazing. Good ambiance. We will definitely return.

My girlfriend and I love coming to this restaurant. It has such a homey feel to it. Just a little neighborhood Italian spot. Their food is very good and reasonably priced.

Have visited here a few times with friends and it's always a great experience. The atmosphere is quaint Italian, the food is always delicious, and the service is wonderful. All in all a really nice place to enjoy an evening out!

Zozo's was able to accommodate my party of 27 people very comfortably. Everything about their service was top notch, from their great communication by email to the dinner itself. They sat us in a separate room which was very spacious and quiet, and the food was absolutely amazing. I will definitely come back here again next time I'm in Reno!

This has been one of our favorite date night restaurants for some time, but we haven't been there in a while. They've recently changed ownership and doubled their space. It's good to see the new owners are just as dedicated as the original ones. The food, service, and atmosphere are as delightful as we remember. Much thanks to our server Becky and all the staff. We hope to be back soon!

I made a reservation for a large party to celebrate 50th wedding anniversary almost 30 days out with no problems when we came the day of. The menu has many wonderful dishes and I can't wait to return and try them. Top notch Italian food and friendly staff! We all had a great time.

I had the most amazing dinner at Zozo's just a few nights ago! I had prawns piccata with rice and beautifully grilled asparagus. The piccata was flavored so well, and everything was really delicious! I also had their soup of the day which was artichoke bisque. So good! Along with their garlic bread, it was truly an outstanding meal. The owner was super attentive, and made sure that everything was taken care of. Can't wait to go back to Zozo's and see what else I can try... they have a lot on their menu to sample. Highly recommend!

Saying this place is good is an understatement, from the salad, to the bread and onto the main course.... It was delicious and the price was great too! I'll definitely be back, thank you Zozo's!

Absolutely fantastic on every level. Service was friendly and accommodating and the food was absolutely delicious. We went here for a date night and we will be returning soon!

After a day of 100 deg, we headed to one restaurant but spotted Zozo's with tables outside all set with tablecloths, napkins and bud vase welcoming us. Temps were decreasing so we settled in for a quiet meal. Staff friendly, attentive and quick. Meals nicely prepared and presented especially the Grilled Prawn Picatta. Every time door opened the noise level inside was a bit overwhelming. Glad we chose outside.

Had my birthday lunch yesterday--great food and service. The bread was great as was the lobster ravioli and spaghetti and meatball--finshed with the awesome bread pudding. Have been going to Zozo's for years when it was run by Sid and Judy and the new owners are continuing the fine tradition.

This is a classic old Reno staple. Giant portions, ice cold salads, family friendly and packed on Friday or Saturday night. Make a reservation and don't be in a rush. Bring your special own wine for a reasonable corkage fee but they have a wide selection of affordable bottles too. This is not your fussy, modern Italian, it is like being part of a family.

Based on several reviews online, I was excited to try Zozo's. I went in with my expectations set moderate, but I was blown away with the excellent quality of food coming out of the kitchen. Everything from the salad with creamy Italian dressing to the Tiramasu cake was phenomenal! Although Zozo's has a small service team, they do such an excellent job balancing the responsibilities to ensure each plate arrives at your table timely. All of their food is prepared with care, and the flavors are amazing. The pasta is cooked to perfection. My wife and I tried the Zozo's special, the Cioppino, and the Swordfish with Risotto and lobster. All amazing dishes! I have dined at Zozo's twice, and I have not been disappointed. I highly recommend you try them!!

I came here with family last night for the first time. The inside is aesthetic and nice, the staff are all hard working and friendly. My only qualm was my food. I ordered the cheese tortellini with creamy pesto sauce and it was honestly good and I wasn’t disappointed. I didn’t finish all of it and took the rest home. Well a little bit later I am face down in a trash can getting rid of my dinner

The Italian food is delicious. Haven't had good Italian food since I came back from the Midwest. Delicious Italian food. Definitely a must-stop. Definitely a lot better than a lot of the casino foods. I would post a picture.but I eat it all.

My wife and I have been eating at Zozo's for over 20 years. We had even gotten to know the previous owners and some of the staff. To me, one of the indications of a really good and well run restaurant is staff turnover. Restaurant work is hard work and staff turnover is an issue for almost every restaurant. When you see many of the same people working at the same place for many years, that place is doing it right. Taking care of their customers and good care of their staff. So when the previous owners told us they were selling the business, we were sad to see them leaving and worried about what would happen to one of our favorite restaurants. I am pleased to say that the quality of the food is still excellent and the prices on the menu do not appear to have been changed. My wife had her usual mushroom ravioli and chicken. I had the ribsteak special with horseradish mashed potatoes. My wife said that her ravioli was as good as ever, maybe even a bit better. My steak came out more on the medium side of medium rare. It was still tender and had a good flavor. I would have liked a bit more horseradish in the potatoes. The tiramisu is still the best in town. I don't know if the back of the house has changed, but it's still doing a good job with the food. It is the front of the house that seems to have had the most change. We called and made reservations. I know that even a weeknight can still be busy. The hostess could not find our reservation. She asked if we knew who we talked to. We did not. She left for a few minutes, came back and took us to a table. I think the young man that was our waiter has minimal dinner house experience. We had to ask about the dinner specials and for the bottle of wine we ordered to be brought out. Overall, I rate the service as adequate were it previously was excellent. We did not recognize anyone up front. Maybe it was a night off for the experienced staff? I hope so. They have opened up a room that was previously only used for large groups for more regular seating. Nice to have more tables available. On the downside, there was a lot of background noise making it difficult to have a quiet conversation. I admit that we had become more than a little spoiled. Knowing the owners and some of the staff. But one of the previous owners was always there greeting every guest as they came in. Was the hostess that greeted us an owner? I don't know. I guess if we see her again the next time we go there, maybe we will ask. In my humble opinion, from having worked in restaurants in my youth, the difference between a successful fine dinner house and just another restaurant that changes hands every few years before it goes away, is how involved the owners are. For an owner that stays in the office, it's just a business. For an owner that is out front and/or working in the back every night, it is a passion. I am old enough that I am starting to not like change. I also understand that, as wiser people than I have said, change is the only constant in the universe. We will keep going to Zozo's, watching for changes (hopefully for the better) and still recommend then. Maybe not for an intimate quiet night out, but certainly for good food.

The food was just ok. Nothing special but not bad. Fazolis is better as a metric. Waiter was good when he was around, and not holding technical problems against them, but wouldn't return. Worst part for both of us was the lighting, the bright led light strip caused us a strobe like effect that was very annoying.

I remember Zozo’s being a good restaurant but it has gone downhill over the years. Our Valentines meal was horrible. The lamb was bad and the ribeye was paper thin. For the price, I expected more from someone who has been around so long. Personally, I’ll never be going back after this experience. There’s much better Italian food in Reno.

I love this place. The food is great and so is the staff. It's a bit outdated in there but it's not really a problem for us at all.

Best old-school Italian in Reno. The decor may be slightly funky, but I love that it feels like there's a mob meeting taking place in the back of the restaurant.

Great waiter. Food was delicious. Atmosphere was quaint and full of lovely people

The staff are amazing, the food is some of the best I've had, and the portions are way more than I can eat. I took my family here last week and just let anybody order what they wanted. I got a bottle of sangria for the table, 3 meals, 3 appetizers and 3 deserts. It was a little over $140 I think. For this kind of quality and the large portions, I was expecting to spend closer to $200. Absolutely fantastic.

So impressed with the service and food! Our wait staff was so kind and on top of their game the food tasted amazing! I will definitely be going back!

Great tiny restoration atmosphere. Garlic bread was phenomenal! Bruschetta was strangely presented but tasty. My dish was fairly tasteless, but others liked theirs alot.

Zozo's holds such a special place on my heart. I grew up going there with family, went there for "self-date"s when I lived alone across the street, and go there on special occasions and holidays now with my one and only. The food is always amazing, the staff is the best, and they're always very accommodating, especially in regards to to my food allergy. Just the best in town.

I have never had a bad meal here. At this point I'm convinced that everything they make is fantastic. A true gem in Reno that I hope never changes or goes away. If you're looking for good, authentic Italian then this is certainly one of the places you should check out.

Great food 😋. Only open from 5 to 8:30 Tuesday through Saturday. Reservations are a must. Food is prepared fresh, so don't be in a hurry. It's worth the wait. Garlic bread 🍞 is good and the Linguine with white clam sauce was done to perfection. My wife had a shrimp dish that was incredible 😋. Enjoy this family owned restaurant.

Would never waste my time Going Downstairs wnjoy your dinner but Don’t go downstairs shopping especially if you are ethnic she will Treat you like Ejir and Make Feel bad .
