One of our favorite hidden treasures. Excellent food and a well stocked bar, outdoor seating, plus Sunday breakfast! The Crab Benedict is to die for! Stopped again last night for dinner. Lovely location and the owners are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Don’t forget to try the leek soup.

Zottola's Pub and Eatery is wonderful. The food is great. I love the haddock, but they always have an excellent special. Everything tastes fresh. The servers are wonderful people. They are very attentive and friendly. And the atmosphere inside and on the porch is excellent. All of these elements make you want to return again and again. You're in for a treat!

Absolutely great place to eat. I had a dinner there for the first time this year and was quite surprised! What a quaint little place, with an atmosphere so welcoming! Great food that is reasonably priced and tastes absolutely delicious. My only downside, which I will not take a star off for, but do believe many others feel this way, is to open up more often!

Great food, service was excellent! We will definitely dine here again. Hand tossed pizza and homemade ranch was top notch!

I ordered their Smashed Potatoe soup, Pasta Alfredo and had the homemade butter pecan ice cream. I myself have been a chef for over 15 year's and it has been years since I been to a restaurant where everything I ordered was absolutely perfect and on point. I never knew about this place until my friend was looking up places to eat and he found this place. I am hooked!!! I have ate here 3 days in a row haha. If you want the best of the best I highly recommend stopping in at Zottola's. The lighting is not to bright and the atmosphere is very relaxing and the owner's are absolutely amazing. I am going back this week for the shepherd's pie for Irish month of March. Go to Zottola's I guarantee you will not be disappointed! Don't listen to few negative B.S. reviews I have read. The best thing I noticed is they have 99% positive reviews.

I have been here a couple of times and am never disappointed. Most recently, we came in about 20 minutes before their kitchen closed and they were so kind to invite us in and make us dinner. We ate at the bar, and I had the chicken piccata with Penne, which was amazing. their salad dressings are homemade and incredible. My boyfriend had the shrimp scampi and really enjoyed it. The bartenders were super attentive and the atmosphere was cozy.

Delicious Italian dining experience. Our server's suggestions were spot on. The Alfredo was and the spinach and feta pasta was . Thank you to Ray and the entire family. Will absolutely dine here again.

Always a great and consistent dining experience. I am addicted to Ray's Chicken Piccata...I have ordered it out in many restaurants and none compare. His fish, the haddock is battered and dipped twice and I would love to know how it is so crispy and not oily. His dinner salad and dressings are wonderful, too! All of his sauces, dressings, and ice creams are homemade. I am a foodie and love to cook and this place is very special.
