Zeno's is an absolute gem in Weatherford. We didn't have reservations, so we ended up sitting at the bar on a packed night and honestly, I wouldn't have changed a thing. We were served by Zeno himself (which we didn't realize at first!), and the service was hands-down some of the best we've ever had. He was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, the kind of owner who makes you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. Sitting at the bar turned into the most unexpected and fun night we've had in a long time. I was seated next to the most wonderful woman, Sharon, and between the atmosphere, the conversation, and the energy of the place, the whole evening felt special. We ordered the pasta wheel, and the gentleman who prepared it was incredible, so knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about what he does. Watching it come together was part of the experience, and the pasta itself was outstanding. Truly exceptional. This meal easily rivals and surpasses any Italian restaurant we've been to in Fort Worth or Dallas. To have food and service of this caliber in small-town Weatherford is something special. Skip the chains and the usual Italian spots, Zeno's is the real deal. Weatherford is lucky to have this place. We'll be back, and next time we might still choose the bar. read more

Food, atmosphere and service were great. Hidden prices not so much. Drink menu stated my ranch water was $13. Check comes and it's $13 plus $7 for what?? I'm not sure. I didn't specially order my ranch water. Husband's meal includes a side per menu. Husband ask what the side is and is told pasta. Check comes and an extra $5 charge for pasta. I mean in the grand scheme of our total bill the extra $12 isn't a deal breaker but no where were those prices mentioned as extras. Guess you just have to know you won't just be paying the price listed on the menu. And while the food was good I don't know that I'd say it's worth the high price tag we paid. read more

We started our evening @ the bar for cocktails, a Zeno's Italian Margarita and a Grey Goose Martini. We received excellent drinks and service. We had the Italian artichokes, Truffle fettuccine with salmon, Mediterranean Sea Bass with a side of spaghetti al Ragu. We did eat dessert Limoncello cake.....so good!!! Benjamin was our server, he was excellent. He timed everything perfectly. Benjamin was friendly and on point. This was our 3rd visit to Zeno's on the Square and we will be going back....it's been great every time. read more

Zenos on the Square in downtown Weatherford is in a renovated building built many years ago. Cozy on the and not too loud at all. I had the Gnocchi and was superb. The wait staff was very new but attentive. All dinners come with a complimentary shot of lemoncello. . Very tasty. The menu touches all the bases and certainly is upscale. Dinner for two should expect $100 plus tip. read more

They didn't have any tables when we arrived (starving and not wanting to wait) but had three cozy living room type seating areas each with a rug, couches and chairs, which worked great for us - very relaxed and the couch was a bonus for our sleeping youngest kid! Service was pretty slow (intentionally - it's a pretty fancy restaurant for the area - but the food waiting for. It was fantastic! We greatly enjoyed it. read more

Cute place, VERY good service. Food was great, we tried a little of everything. I got the cheese wheel with a side of the steak tips. The steak was sooo tender and perfect. My husband loved the lamb chops. The desserts were the only down fall. Tiny portions (we got 4 different ones). The lemon cake was our favorite but it still wasn't great. The tiramisu was a huge let down. I would go back but would skip dessert. read more

Beautiful restaurant and our service was so good and food good too-- the management allowed the table next to us to bring in a dog. For us a total turn off and unsanitary. read more

Took one of my employees to Zeno's since we had some work in the area today. Neither of us had ever been. First, this is a new location but there was plenty of parking around the square so a short walk was no big deal. Second, we were seated quickly by a friendly, smiling hostess and attended to quickly by a professional and knowledgeable server. She took our drink order quickly and spoke about the specials along with making a few recommendations. Felt very upscale Italian country inside if that makes sense. Now the food. THE FOOD! Ordered the Beef Tenderloin Ravioli and it did not disappoint. But more than I'd normally pay for lunch but I don't even care LOL! The sauce was rich, the pasta was fresh, and the beef was cooked perfectly! Located right in the town square and pushing out food like I enjoyed today...you have to try Zeno's! read more

The drinks were delicious! The food was delicious! The service as amazing! Will definitely be back again! I liked how this place had it all decorated too. read more

This place is delicious and highly recommend trying the pasta they make at your table side. They use a fresh parmesean cheese wheel to make it in and cook it. any meats you'd like to add to it are available hot and ready, lobster, chicken, shrimp, oysters etc all available. Our waitress was great and gave an excellent old fashioned recommendation that also came out smoked. Highly recommend that plus the tequila lid fashioned. It is not loud and they offer plenty of table space and room at the bar. read more

We celebrated my husband's birthday last night and were not disappointed. He had the tenderloin in the demi glacé with the broccoli al gratin . I had the veal piccata with the rosemary potatoes. We split the Italian salad and finished off with the tiramisu. Excellent! Love the new location. I enjoy the historic feel of the Cotton Bratton Building. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. And even though we were last seating she didn't try to rush us read more

I went there for my mom's and dad's anniversary and they were pretty new but this was different to other places in weatherford I have been too. First the customer service was great and they served us with menus. We ordered our drinks then our appetizer, the drinks came out really fast then our appetizers. Their tea is what made it really special for me. Then our food it took us a while but we figured out what we would like. We ordered the wagyu steak and the parmesan Reggiano pasta wheel and while making it, he told us a little bit about himself and how he got there and it was inspiring to me as a growing chef. The food was really good and I really liked it the pasta wasn't hardy, especially with the extra added protein in the steak wasn't my favorite thing, but it was still really neat to try. Overall, this place is a must go and Weatherford and I would highly recommend it to any people moving here read more

We've had pretty good luck at Zeno's, both for lunch and dinner. Our last meal here was dinner, on a Tuesday. We did not have a reservation, and the place was packed. We did get a high top, and that was fine. Quick run down: My beef ravioli was yummy. Thuy's gnocchi divine. But the best part of our meal was watching the table that ordered the "Pasta Wheel - Moma Monica's fresh egg pasta tossed into a flame warmed parmesan cheese wheel. Served with fresh ground pepper." This looked so yummy, and gooey, and cheesy! We are eager to come back to Zeno's, just to try the Pasta Wheel! We are so happy for the low minimum number of 2, because Thúy and I can't wait to come back to try it. read more

Service from waiter was very solid. Super attentive and nice. Food was very mediocre for the price. Calamari had no flavor, except for oil. Caesar salad came out wiry dressing on the side, ok fine but the dressing tasted like it was out of a jar. Artichoke appetizer was flavorless that the cream sauce was supposer to cover up and onion ring on top tasted like oily fried batter. The parmesan wheel service table side was very cool, the server of that dish was awesome. Nice guy, made it fun and it tastes great. The $55 ribeye was a joke. Super thin and no way was prime. Honestly can buy that steak for $15 at HEB, very disappointing. Brocolli gratin was good. Meatballs were meh. Ambiance was very cool and the bar is set up well, very inviting. read more

Food is incredible. Service is amazing and the ambience is nice and cozy!! Love this place. Never disappoints

We went for my birthday dinner, it was a party of 8 and they were very attentive. I had the cheese wheel pasta! It's a show at the table while they melt down the cheese and drop in the pasta to be coated in this melted delicious cheese. They were so great and it was a fun dining experience. The downtown square was also a fun walk around after dinner. Worth the 40 min drive from Burleson! read more

Last night for our anniversary my wife and I made the 40 minute drive out to Weatherford to try the highly recommended Zeno's on the Square. Set in the corner space of a building located across the street from the historic Parker County courthouse, we were really looking forward to trying this restaurant. Dinner service starts at 5pm and it's recommend that you make reservations. We arrived at 5:30pm for our reservation and found about 20-30 people already inside the small restaurant. Best guess is maximum seatings runs around 70-80 so on a busy weekend night you would definitely want to make reservations. The ambiance walking in was casual fine dining but the aroma said "fasten your seatbelt, we are fixin' to take a tour of Italy one plate at a time!" We quickly got seated and started off with a basket of Italian style bread fresh out of the oven. The bread was cut in small finger sized slices that made it a quick start dipped in the fresh olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Next we ordered an appetizer - the Bruschetta Board. This was a "flight" of different types of Bruschetta; the classic tomato and balsamic vinegar was our favorite. The runner-up was a fresh mozzarella with pickled red bell pepper. Honorable mentions included a spicy tomato puree with goat cheese and an olive spread on a corn fritter type bread. This appetizer was definitely big enough for the two of us to share and could have easily fed a third person if needed - but I would have fought over the classic bruschetta. The next stop was the entrees. We both ordered off the recommendations of the waitress. I had the braised beef ravioli and she had the lobster fettuccine. The lobster fettuccine featured fresh handmade linguine pasta topped with a light and vibrant vodka pink sauce finished with a fresh lobster tail. The sauce - wow - light and fresh summer tomato taste with a distinct Italian twist. Honestly, I could have ate a bowl of the sauce alone. The braised beef ravioli was a variation of a traditional dish. Handmade ravioli filled with braised shredded beef instead of a cheese filling. The pasta alone was fantastic but the burst of flavor from the beef really hit it home. Then there was the sauce; a brown gravy type sauce infused with truffles that really brought out the dark earthy tones of the dish. I could imagine this dish coming straight out of an Italian grandmother's kitchen as she serves her family their favorite comfort foods. Now, I warned my wife when I knew we were going to have Italian - my favorite food. I warned her that all the safety stops were off; I was eating everything I could while I was there. So naturally we cued up the desert menu for the final course. For me, it was the traditional tiramisu made in house with fresh brewed coffee soaked ladyfingers and a thick layer of cream dusted with cocoa powder. My wife is a chocoholic so she went with the triple layer marble cake which consisted of a layer of dark chocolate mousse, milk chocolate mousse and a white chocolate mousse. Both desserts were delicious and rich to the point we weren't sure we'd finish them. Overall, Zeno's was a great experience. It was elegant dining without the high price tag. You can expect appetizers to be $9-10, entrees to be $25-35 per plate and desserts run between $6-10. You could easily get in and out for less than $100 and enjoy all 3 courses. A couple things that detracted from the experience was the waitress and the music. The waitress did a fantastic job and answered all of our questions. We could tell she was fully capable but use to working the busy dinner rush. There was no wait, empty tables and we were in no rush but did feel a little pressure from the waitress. The second issue was the music. It sounds petty now, but rocking out to hip hop music while trying to enjoy this fine Italian food just didn't jive. Neither thing was a deal breaker, we'll definitely go back but both were things that caught our attention. read more

The new space is incredible. We loved the old location, but this new one is a game changer for Zeno and the crew. The food and service have always been top notch and now the ambiance is even better and more fitting to the experience. Keep it up!!!!! read more

My wife and I came into Zeno's for her birthday. Our waitress was very attentive and the staff was great. Our salmon cake appetizer was very moist and delicious. The tomatoes and greens helped cut through the richness. the sauce (a kind of tartar) helped pull the dish together. My wife ordered the spaghetti cacio e Pepe with chicken. Probably not the best thing to order on the menu. Nothing against the dish but it seemed to lack spark. Her Chardonnay however did not. It was very buttery and had a nice roundness to it. She also ordered a side of Brussels sprouts. They were mushy underseasoned and also didn't have any sear to them. Thankfully the front of house staff took care of that for us. I ordered the sicliana and chose a penne midnight as my side. The penne was kind of one note, spicy. But my fish on the other hand was absolutely amazing. Flavorful soft and tender. I paired it with an excellent glass of their Chianti. This is the second time we've dined here. We would be back again. All be it try some different dishes. read more

My wife's birthday was coming up and she had been wanting to try Cheese Wheel Pasta also called "pasta alla ruota" that she saw trending on Instagram shorts. What is Cheese Wheel Pasta? It's a dish served table side where the chef scrapes the cheese wheel into a bowl and lites it on fire mixing in the pasta as the cheese melts into the pasta. My wife did some research and found out that Zeno on the Squre did it in downtown Weatherford, so we made the hour long drive out for her birthday. The main chef Massimiliano Zubboli came to the table and was a fun showman explaining what he was doing during the process while the huge cheese wheel was set on fire. It was all smiles and was such a joy to watch him work so happily. The Pasta Wheel pasta was absolutely warm, rich and delicious. You have to have a minimum of two people to get the pasta wheel and it cost $28 that is such a great price for all you get. We added the scallops and shrimp to our pasta too. I very much recommend Zeno's on the Square. Especially ambience, the service and the fun they have and really appreciate that they made my wife's Birthday very special to her. Happy Birthday Gina, love you read more

Service, food, and ambiance - great space! A bit off the sqyare but worth the drive and time.

Cute and quaint local spot. It wasn't our first choice but the place we wanted to go is closed on Mondays. Very friendly staff that greeted and sat us promptly. Unfortunately this place is nothing special. We were very hopeful and tried the pasta wheel... it was an epic flop. Cold, watery and tasteless. A real let down after the table sample of the warm cheese prior to preparation. Additionally the Ceasar salad came dry and was overloaded with crouton and minimal lettuce. Too bad. read more

We stumbled across this neighborhood gem on the square in Weatherford. Great bar, excellent service, and wonderful food. Highly recommend

Service was good. Staff was friendly. Food left much to be desired. We ordered the bruschetta board, it was tasty but minimal portions. The bread was toasted so hard it was sharp in your mouth. For entrees we had fettuccine alla' vodka and spaghetti numero 4 (w/chicken) Very low on the flavor scale and the chicken was dry. Wanted to find a nice local dining experience, but this was not it. Will keep looking. read more

I order scallops and on the menu its says it comes with a side. But when I ordered it they told me it doesn't how does that work ?????

This is our go-to Italian restaurant for years. As if the place couldn't get any better, the new restaurant is such a vibe!!!!!!!!! The English bar and chapel are so cool. The modern, retro, western (yeah, oxy moron) is so awesome. The restaurant can get loud (needs something on the walls to dampen the sound) but that is something we overlook due to the amazing food. There is still a large glass window overlooking the kitchen. Amazing. There are some off menu items we order that they always prepare when asked. Don't sleep on this place. It is great. read more
