Food was good, a little strong w the garlic n onions. A little pricey. Atmosphere kind of strip mally.Vegetarian options: Only 2 options for vegitarians and one was very stong garlic n onion and the other tomato based, not so good for my acid reflux.

Man oh man, I haven’t been here in years but I remember the pizza being excellent and I tell you what they didn’t disappoint! I had the Bianca(white pizza) with pepperoni and sausage and it was better than I remembered, the perfect amount of ricotta and the toppings were just the right amount. The bottom of the pie had a crunch and then into the softer chewy crust. The staff was extremely accommodating and the place had a real family feel to it which I love, you can tell it’s family owned cause it just puts out a different vibe. All in all an excellent experience and I’ll be back for sure.

We went for the Tuesday $10 pizza special, which is take-out only. The prices on the menu seems high, $10 for a soup even though I'm sure the food is good because the 16" cheese pizza is good.

I was in town for a conference a friend recommended I try Zuccarelli’s out. The food was delicious and the wait staff was super nice and on top of things. Parking was easy and the overall vibe of the place was definitely cozy Italian. I would eat there again!

DINERS BEWARE! Let me begin by saying after having not been to this restaurant in a decade, we ate there several months ago and had a positive experience leading us to return, but after tonight, never again. First red flag: We waited over 45 minutes for dinner during which time I watched a gentleman pick-up an order, leave the restaurant, then return with the food telling them it wasn't his order. While he stood waiting for his food, a woman came in for her order and they gave the bag of food he returned to her - again, this was AFTER it had left the restaurant. Second, third, and fourth red flags: From the dining room you can see into the kitchen. I witnessed multiple people (waitstaff and kitchen staff) handling bread bare handed, including after it had come out of the oven and was on it's way to tables. One waiter combed his hand over his facial hair while in the kitchen and the person making pizzas was drinking from an open cup at the station. Not ONE time did I see anyone in the kitchen or anyone coming and going from the kitchen wash their hands. Had I not already eaten, I wouldn't have stayed. Concerned, I asked to speak to the manager and instead was provided the owner. Good news one might think, but just as others who have written negative reviews have said, she was defensive and unapologetic. She was unconcerned about the handling of the bread because it "goes in a 500 degree oven," though I'm still not certain how this helps prevent contamination when it's handled in the same way when it comes out. She DID want to discuss how gloves are not recommended because they can lead to cross-contamination, but failed to mention their use should be replaced with frequent handwashing. She could not speak to food being returned and sent back out because she "didn't see it." She chose to ignore the issues involving Florida Food Hygiene Code 64E-11.005 Personnel in which people in food prep areas are required to have facial hair covered and that beverage containers used by personnel are required to have a tight fitting lid. Instead I heard about how they have been in business for 43 years and have never had an "issue," thus implying the problem was with me and not her (them); however, this is my first and only negative review to date. When the OWNER has such a cavalier attitude about food safety and is closed off to any feedback, do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere. There are plenty of other family owned businesses in the community worth supporting.Update: Owners response is nothing short of what was expected. The facts are that we did not finish our meals or eat dessert (I’ve attached the receipt). We had a 6pm reservation and didn’t get our check until 7:39. If it was <30 minutes for dinner, how was the other 1+ hour spent? The first person picking up food was not a food delivery service and only knew he had the wrong bag because it was open - seems you suddenly have a lot of clarity on an issue that last night you “didn’t see.” Areas where pizza, salad, and bread is being prepared IS food prep - yet no handwashing, no facial covering, no lid. That's the facts. Another fact is that you personally have not been the owner for 43 years and need to stop riding off the coat tails of your predecessors, that is, if you want the business to be around another 43.
I love this restaurant! I had the veal parm and my wife had the linguine white clams! I usually don’t go to Italian restaurants because I love to cook Italian and I always get disappointed at Italian restaurants but this place will have me coming back again!

Staff were very friendly and food was fantastic. Owners interacted with us and were great. We felt special. Business was clean and well kept up.
Just had a bad experience at this restaurant. I know restaurants have off days, but this has to be one of them. 5 of us at 7pm. After we ordered we were told they are out of snapper. Ok so one of my party ordered something else with broccoli rabe. After 45 minutes, the waitress comes out and says they are out of it as well. Meal comes out 1-1/2 hours after we sat down. Two of us had the pork chop that was tough as nails. We told the waitress and expected the manager to come over. No, not to be seen. They were inedible. The server said she told the manager about it and sent her back to give us a few mini cannoli’s. Then to make matters worse, we get the bill with a 20% tip added on top of the tax. A $500 meal should have been better.We’ve been here numerous times. We won’t be back. Shame on the manager or owner for ignoring this situation.

If you’re looking for the *best* Italian food around, Zuccarelli’s is IT! So authentic and everything on the menu is incredible! The restaurant is beautiful, staff is great and the outdoor seating area is perfect for a nice warm night! Cannot recommend Zuccarelli’s enough!
