Everything about Zambelli’s is big. Big menu, big room, big entrees.
It’s a classic family-style restaurant where first dates and screaming kids would all feel comfortable. Though probably not next to each other.
There’s lots of room for big tables without feeling crowded, and the service is very friendly.
There’s something here for everyone: chicken fingers, pasta, Greek food, prime rib, and pizza. It’s not fancy but it’s done well.
It’s also a great value. The portions are generous, but so are the sides. I think that says a lot about wanting to send your customers home happy. Here the garlic bread is thick and the baked potatoes come with bowls of condiments that stay on your table.
The Greek salad that came with my beef souvlaki was huge, heaped with a mountain of crumbled feta. The beef was moist and rare, the way it should be.
Jason’s lasagna with meatballs – the fact this dish exists as an option is impressive – was only okay. It could’ve done with more layers of meat and cheese baked in between the noodles.
I regretted not being famished as the steaks and lobsters at the next table looked delicious. Next time, I’d definitely order a steak or prime rib.
