Wow! First time eating here. The service was amazing. Thank you Justin for accommodating our late arrival. The music was awesome. The food was incredibly yummy. The chef added a special right before we ordered, which we had: chicken philly sandwich, with homemade chips. We also had the mushroom ravioli and the meatball sandwich. We will definitely be back.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Italian Restaurant Zozo in Reno, and it was an extraordinary culinary experience that I can't wait to share! First and foremost, the Lobster Ravioli was an absolute delight. The ravioli were perfectly cooked, generously filled with succulent lobster, and complemented by a rich and creamy sauce that elevated every bite to a new level of deliciousness. The Sautéed Shrimp Scampi was another standout dish. The shrimp were plump and juicy, cooked to perfection, and bathed in a garlic-butter sauce that was simply heavenly. The balance of flavors was impeccable, making this dish a true highlight of the evening. For seafood lovers, the Cioppino is a must-try. This hearty seafood stew was brimming with fresh clams, mussels, shrimp, and fish in a savory tomato broth. Each spoonful was a delightful burst of oceanic flavors, and it was clear that only the freshest ingredients were used. We started our meal with the Bruschetta with Toasted Focaccia, which set the tone for the evening. The crisp focaccia was topped with ripe, juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil, and a drizzle of balsamic reduction that tied all the flavors together beautifully. To cap off an amazing meal, we indulged in the Spumoni for dessert. This traditional Italian ice cream was the perfect blend of cherry, pistachio, and chocolate, creating a refreshing and sweet finale to our dinner. In addition to the outstanding food, the ambiance at Zozo is warm and inviting, and the service is top-notch. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. Moreover, Zozo boasts an impressive wine list that perfectly complements their menu. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just looking for the perfect pairing, you'll find a selection of exquisite wines that enhance the dining experience. Italian Restaurant Zozo is a gem in Reno, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. Five stars!

Just when I thought this place couldn't get any better. Had reservations for an early dinner on a Sunday. We were promptly escorted to our table and greeted by an amazing waiter named Becky. She gave us a list of the specials for the day and the last item got my attention. It was cioppino. I live in a small town in central California close to Monterey and Santa Cruz and a 2 hour drive to SF. A big fan of seafood and crab cioppino. I ordered the cioppino and was served a seafood melody. Mind you it did not have dungeness crab that I'm used to. But it did have clams, mussels, large shrimp and pasta in an absolutely amazing broth. I savored every bite and served garlic bread to dunk in the amazing broth. High marks for this dish. It was probably one of the best cioppinos I ever had and that is saying alot. I did ask for the recipe for this amazing dish. The cooks were pretty busy but Becky did give me the basic ingredients for the homemade broth. Just about finished the whole bowl but I did have to save room for the wonderful tiramisou. It was a great evening and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Thanks again to our waiter Becky and the amazing cooks at Zozo's. I'll be back.

Quite amazing and we’re so accommodating to my genuine food allergy, I was so happy because everything smelled so good. Definitely an establishment who cares, at from the many diners I’m sure they have a well established love in their neighborhood. Great atmosphere,great servers and I’m sentimental to the back of house for going out of their way to make me a basic linguini with capers and white wine butter sauce. Tasted just perfectly!!?

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…
