We were very impressed with the gluten free items they had. Almost 40% of the items were gluten free. They told us it would be a 35 minute wait. But was only 12 minutes. They were very busy and we still had great service. read more

Delicious pizza. Unfortunately our last order was to go and it was a little soggy on the bottom by the time we got home. It was still delicious. Better, however, if you eat it at the restaurant. read more

Service slow and under staffed. Menu items were not available. Why are they offer it and don't have it

This was a nice find on the Rockwell town square. We had a great experience there. The crab dip appetizer was a good start. It was offered with slices of bread, a bit pasty, and large pieces of cracker-like chips which was much better. I had a Supreme pizza which was a bit spicy, great flavor and filling. Wood fired pizza oven adds flavor and ambience. House red wine by the glass was very good. Full bar on site and bottles of wine. Best of all the Bananas Foster was extraordinary. Give Zanata a try. Average prices. read more

We haven't tried Zanata's in 6 yrs Last time we were there wasn't a great experience. But, with that being said THEY have redeemed themselves. Arrived around 5:30p on a Wed night No wait at all. The atmosphere has changed, looks larger than we remembered. Probably from the exit of Fatted Calf location they expanded. The server was very attentive and made sure we knew about specials. Along with a glass of Moscato, and Ultra we started with an appetizer. We ordered the bruschetta platter.Came with three pieces with varied ingredients. The bacon grape jam was our favorite. And the leafy greens came with a tomato sauce dressing. It was so favorable. We got more to go with our entrees. Hubby got Italian Chicken Alfredo with fresh asparagus. I got the Wood fired chicken pizza. Both were cooked to perfection. We ended the dinner with a flourless chocolate cake, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on side. When I tell you it melted in your mouth, it definitely melts in your mouth. We were so impressed on the changes. Keep up the great service and the amazing food. We WILL be back! read more

Intimate restaurant with a great selection of drinks and eats. Love the Tuesday special!

Back for the third time. As usual, the crap dip (all lavosh) was delicious. Lots of crab. The sea bass was the hit of the table. Cooked well, nice sauce....just a big hit. The mahi (which came off the specials board) was a huge letdown. The fish was bland and over cooked. It came with black rice, which was okay. The kale was way too salty. There was a small amount of sauce...and the dish could've used more because of the fish lacking flavor. The lasagna was pretty good...I'd like more sauce, but the flavor was yummy. The bread with it was covered with minced garlic...no worry about a vampire attack for me! The pumpkin ravioli was also just pretty good. It was more of a sweet potato flavor and not so much pumpkin. Definitely not too heavy. The chicken that was mixed in the sauce was excellent . The bananas foster sort of let us down this time. Maybe we'd built it up in our head too much.... read more

Rather small restaurant and they quickly turn off their online queue, so be careful! However, if you're willing to wait, it's worth it! I love their pizzas, big enough to share if you get an appetizer too. Their crab dip is delicious, definitely on the cheesy side and not at all overly "fishy". read more

We visited Zanata for a joint bday celebration! The staff was very accommodating from the beginning when making our reservation. The restaurant was super cute with a cool vibe from the decor and exposed brick. Everyone loved their food. I had the veggie plate. The veggies were cooked nicely. I asked for no cheese or dairy on my food and the risotto on my plate had both. I noticed after tasting it. I notified the waitress and they replaced it with more veggies pretty quickly. I will say that the risotto was tasty though. I also had the Riesling which was standard. Oh! I also had the Zhouse salad which was super tasty! read more

Foods are excellent. Pricing is reasonable. Only thing is they don't take reservations, first comes first serves. So the average Waiting time for dinner around 6pm is 30 mins for a small group. read more

Excellent food and excellent service. One of my favorite restaurants. I love the atmosphere and the prices are very reasonable. I wish they had a location in Dallas, but it's worth the trip when I'm able to go to Rockwall. read more

We love Zanata. We're always looking for excuses to drive out to Rockwall so we can eat there. My family has ordered most things from the menu and we have enjoyed each dish. It's in a great area and has a really cool vibe. The service is always top-notch. read more

Our recent visit to Zanata was outstanding! It was very busy being so close to the holidays, but our server, Giselle, made us feel very welcome and cared for. We had the meatballs and special Brussels sprouts as appetizers, which were fantastic! Those sprouts are life changing. We also had two delicious pizzas which were expertly paired with an amazing wine that our server recommended. And of course we HAD to get Bananas Foster cake for dessert! My husband recently went gluten free and the GF version of the dessert is just as good as the original. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back again soon! read more

In from out of town and had a glitch w our car. The nice folks from the dealer (Rockwall Ford-10 stars!!) suggested we check Zanata out. Their awesome porter dropped us off and we then enjoyed a wonderful meal!! Great service too. Really bummed we didn't find this place at the beginning of our trip and not the end. Hoping we'll be back to get to visit a few more times!! Spinach salad and pizza were absolute perfection!! read more

Always fresh, always delicious! We love the appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks, never have had anything we didn't like

We moved to Rockwall 2.5 years ago and been to Zanatas at least 50 times. They never miss and their food is incredible. Try the Ribeye Florentine (or sub a Filet) or the Pork Chop at dinner. Every risotto is awesome but my favorite are the peppers they serve with the steak florentine! Trust me this place is unique and also offers pizzas and sandwiches! Oh and don't forget Banana Foster which is the best and perfect for table of 4! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed my time for my dad's birthday. The Moon Fish special was cooked perfectly along with all the trimming included. Service was friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was fun and lively. Will definitely be coming back! read more

The ambiance is dimly lit & the inside has a very intimate and romantic feel to it, perfect for date night with your special someone. For food I ordered the blue crab dip, the bruschetta board and the chicken alfredo llanito dish. My boyfriend ordered their pepperoni pizza. The portion sizes are out of this world so unless you naturally eat a lot of food, two appetizers and an entree is an impossible feat. The bruschetta board was definitely my favorite out of the two appetizers, rating that an 8.4/10. All of the breads are really good separately, but do not work well together as a cohesive board (unlike Postino's if you've had them). The crab dip was a 4.3/10 - wasn't bad but wasn't great either. The pasta was a solid 7. I had to add salt and pepper for extra flavor, but enjoyed the creaminess of the alfredo & the texture you get from the al dente asparagus. Since the Alfredo sauce is homemade do know that it doesn't reheat as well the next day. All of the butter and cream separates & turns into straight oil. My boyfriend's pizza looked really good, but I was too full to try his. He said it was just ok, so I guess an average 5/10 for that. Overall, we had a great night and would gladly return. Our server was sweet and kept us updated throughout our time, as there was a bit of a wait. That's one of the main downsides to Zanata. You can't make reservations, so expect to be placed on about an hr waitlist & then wait another 40 for food. The only other complaint is it's location...though in a cute rustic part of the city, parking space directly by the restaurant is sparse so be mindful of that if you're wearing heels, handicapped etc. read more

This place lived up to the hype. My colleague and I loved this place, and I think one of the aspects that really made it fun was sitting at the bar and watching my the cooks do their thing. They cook everything in 2 wood fire grills. 1 does all the pizzas, the other 1 does everything else, and from the bar you can see it very well and the whole operation. Anyhow, the food was awesome. I had the pork chop with lobster risotto, and broccolini. And then had the Bananas Foster for dessert. They were a 10/10z. If I lived around here I'd visit again in the quaint downtown area that had a cool/cozy vibe to it. read more

We love this cute date night spot. Went a few days ago with the hubby. We had a short wait but after being seated we were immediately serviced and decided to order a bottle of wine based on our server's recommendations. The bottle was delicious and we split the bruschetta salad and spiked happy hour pizza. The salad is one of my all-time favorite meals. We enjoyed the pizza but I didn't realize it didn't have any marinara so I ordered a side of marinara for dipping. We had the bananas foster for dessert and my husband loved it. Highly recommend for a date night. read more
