Z Cucina Di Spirito

Just another 5* meal with Rick and his team. Lasagna, squid bucatini, tiramisu, couple drinks, and a couple glasses of nice wine. Excellent service on their beautiful patio on a beautiful night.

Go see Rick. You'll be glad you did.

Great Happy Hour! $10 appetizers and discount on drinks.

Cozy little restaurant with small bar. Bartenders were excellent and friendly. The calamari was outstanding. A touch salty but was probably the night. We also had the sausage pizza. Tasty!

Definitely recommend the Happy Hpur! Will do it again.

Parking: street parking or paid lots nearby

Food: food was okay - my dish (sweet potato gnocchi) was pretty lukewarm when it came out and didn't have much flavor, but someone had the lasagna which came out piping hot & looked delicious, and another person ordered the short rib which was delicious.

Service: was good!

Seating: mostly indoor seating

Repeat visit to Z Cucina in Grandview. Always a great dinner! We also had their famous calamari (not pictured, sorry).

We had a graduation dinner. Everything was delicious. The staff and owner were so nice. I highly recommend it.

The best calamari everrrrrrr!

We went back there again for our anniversary. If you book it online and let them know, they have special treats for you too! We got dark chocolate moose, that's so rich!

I got my two favorites of all time Calamari and Z caesar and my husband got Lamp Chop. He said it's the best lamp chop he has so far.

We also love their bread and sun dried tomato dip. THE BEST. I sometimes want to order the bread for to go :D the bread and gelato (we got the pistachio) are made in house. They actually make almost everything in house, how cool!

First of all. They updated menu periodically so don't expect the same dish if you see this two years later.

I love the free bread with the oil. I guess there is tomato in the bread oil so it taste little sour, which perfect match the sourdough bread. The bread is Chucky outside and soft inside, I really love that.
Rock Shrimp Ravioli is ok. Don't know why some of the mushroom are sour, like expired.
White Clam Pizza is thin and chunky, but blend compared to other dishes
Veal Chop is huge and soft. I love the broccoli and potato at the side!

This a very nice restaurant with quiet vibe on that street. $70/person enjoying Italian food I think it's an okay deal.
The lady who served us name Ryan(I think this is the name) She is very nice, when we ask if there any shops around us ( since I'm traveling) and she gave us lots of options.

We had some special visitors in town, so decided to try out Z Cucina Di Spirito after reading some rave reviews. The hours are limited, and they are only open Monday thru Saturday, so I'd suggest making a reservation. We were seated promptly when we arrived and our service was fantastic.

The complimentary bread is cut into tiny squares which was neat, and the dipping sauce was excellent. We tried the stuffed ricotta fritters for an appetizer and they were delicious. The outside was crunchy, the mozzarella was melted to perfection and the pomodoro and balsamic sauces were great additions to the flavor.

For my entree, I tried the Italian sausage & two ricotta lumache rigate. It came out a bit luke warm which was disappointing. However, someone in our group ordered the lasagna which is made to order and baked in a cast iron skillet, so undoubtedly takes the longest to prepare. I'm guessing this threw off the timing of the other entrees which were probably finished well before the lasagna finished baking. Either way, I would expect all the main dishes to be piping hot when they hit the table. The sauce was also a bit sweeter than I was expecting, so I think next time I would get something else.

That said, our overall experience was good and the service was great so I'm sticking with 4 stars.

The ambiance was great. It's a smaller restaurant, so it wasn't too loud. I like the color scheme as well.

Service was alright. Nothing Greta but nothing bad either.

The food is where my fiancé and I both give 3 stars. For $25 for the gnocchi it was a really small portion. I wasn't very hungry when I got there, but I felt like I ate a snack. The flavor was good, but mostly from the panchetta.

The lasagna was better, but nothing exceptional.

The menu was small, but they have a large wine list. Bottles range from $40-$300.

I really wanted to give a higher review, but we just weren't that impressed. We don't have much of a reason for returning. We actually almost left after we looked at the menu because nothing jumped out and it was a small menu, and sadly I try not to be negative in my reviews but I wish we would tried somewhere else.

Phenomenal restaurant!!!! We called and got a table for 2 at 5pm the same morning and there was no problem. Atmosphere was very relaxing and the service was great. We had Mark and he was very nice with some great recommendations. We will definitely be going again. Food was outstanding
