The mushroom flat bread is delicious. Served with 3 kinds o cheese and truffle oil , it almost made me cry of happiness when it arrived to my table.

Visit the bar for fast and accurate service. They call you by your first name, and extremely friendly to people who dine at the bar . This native from Chicago would definitely visit this place again

I love Zelo's pasta entrees. I ordered homemade ravioli . It came in two sizes - 4 or 6 huge pieces drenched in a fresh and tasty tomato sauce . I ordered 4 pieces and that was nearly too much to eat.

Nate S

Completely blown away by the service! So impressed. Came here for a birthday dinner and we're still talking about how good it was days later. Excellent cocktails too.

Jason Luk

This will be the first time I ever say to save room for the bread ! Not sure if they make it but it's so fresh and melts the butter just right!

Jason Douglas

Make sure to get the Lamb Meatballs and the Ahi Tuna Crisps to start. Best Ahi Tuna I have ever tasted! ALso, the home made lasagna is the best I have ever had. Zelo is among my top 5 now!

Kaiva Lacis-Huff

Everything was first class , including our personable server, Jeff. Grapefruit martinis and dirty martinis were excellent, as was our food--the lasagna , and the pork chop . Loved the bread , too.

Cole Kennedy

That tortiglioni rossa is the real deal. Nice bone-sticking Italian meal . Get it (and get wine too, duh).

Stacie Scarf

The staff is beyond nice here. This is a great spot to get a glass of wine with friends or a great date spot .

Arielle Lenox

Delicious Italian centrally located on Nicollet Mall . Great group spot for both inside and outside seating

Ezra, the restaurant manager, is the best. Service is incredible, happy hour is legit (Moscow mules ), and their tuna crisps are to die for.
