What People Are Saying About Zingari Ristorante
Featured Review

In Short – Located in the Donatello Hotel, this upscale eatery attracts both Union Square tourists and locals gearing up for a night at the theater. Entrees include pastas like fettuccine with prawns and gypsy peppers, and meat dishes, such as osso bucco over mushroom and zucchini risotto. The adjoining piano bar hosts live jazz acts nightly and serves a menu of bar appetizers in the afternoon and evening.
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- Two hours of free validated parking at the Donatello Hotel garage on Mason Street is included with dinner.
- Save Money:
- A three-course prix fixe menu offers a choice of soup or salad, one of six meat entrees and any dessert for $32.95.

A Great Find - Highly Recommended
by DeloresB at Citysearch
We came from Austin, Texas and stayed at the Donatello Hotel and was very pleased. No complaints. We dined at Zingari and it was just what you would expect. With all the restaurants in the area, it was a good choice. This way, we could listen to live music and stay as long as we wanted, and not have to drive before retiring for the night. No complaints, the food was superb.

I've been going there for years...
by VirginiaLopez at Citysearch
I have been dining at Zingari for years, and was offended personally when I read some of the insane reviews. People look to reviews and I understand that, but I've never thought of actually writing one myself. Some people are so caught up in their own worlds and expect everyone else around them to cater to them. They don't understand that a five-star restaurant such as Zingari gets busy, and when there are other people, then there is a waiting list. Zingari has been packed almost every night as long as I can remember. I have never understood when other people would give the wait staff a bad time, and I don't understand a lot of these reviews. The food has consistently been wonderful, I've never had a problem with their service, and have always looked forward to who they have playing for entertainment. My advice to those looking for a nice place to dine is to sit back, relax, and just enjoy. Zingari is a wonderful place to dine.

Definitely a Five-Star Restaurant!!!
by Sharon Tessler at Citysearch
This is definitely a five-star italian ristorante. I have no idea what these other people are thinking by complaining, unless they are snobs. Of course a restaurant like this is busy, everyone wants to eat at such a nice place and listen to live music. I love this place and would highly recommend it. If it takes a few extra minutes to get your food or drinks, it's because they're busy. Make reservations for a less busy time if you want, but don't expect the chef or bartender to drop everything for you if he or she has five orders ahead of you. Don't read what they have to say, judge for yourself and enjoy the higher rated reviews that focus on the positive things about this restaurant that you will love!

This place is the best!!!
by Thom C at Citysearch
This is a popular restaurant and can be very busy. When we go there, we are sure to make reservations to get in early, especially on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. As busy as it can be, the service always surpasses my expectations. The entertainment is nice while you're waiting for your food, so I really like taking my wife to this place for a romantic meal. I can't say that about many restaurants, so I thought I'd leave a review of this one since it's my wife's favorite. That, by the way, is a good tip for those of you who want to treat your wife or girlfriend to something special. There is always live jazz, and the food and wine won't ever let you down.

Fantastic Place for a Party
by KevinZ at Citysearch
If you love jazz and italian food, then you will love this restaurant. My family made reservations to celebrate my birthday since those are the two of my favorite things in the world when relaxing, in addition to good company. The night ended up being one of the best birthday dinners I've ever had. The food was superb, the service was excellent, although it was a very busy night for Zingari, my family really enjoyed it. Everyone was delighted with their choices and the live entertainment. Thank you, Zingari, for making this an exceptional night... since it was my 50th birthday, I guess I kind'a needed something a little more special to bring it on.
