Amazing Greek salad. The dressing it comes with is perfect. I added shrimp this time and they were perfectly cooked. I appreciated the compostable take out container and super easy and fast curbside pickup. Ordering through the website was a breeze. Convenient and delicious! read more

Zeppolli's - Greek Salad - Salad Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Worst Italian restaurant ever....I just ate pasta noodles and butter that were microwaved....at least the service was great...the food was not!!! read more

Went for dinner and had a little trouble finding something on the menu that is vegan. I have had the lemon pasta in the pasta and didn't care for it because it was a little too sour for my taste. The waitress asked the kitchen staff to just make me a veggie pasta with garlic and olive oil and it was delicious. I really appreciated that they were willing to make me something not on the menu. Our waitress was great and very cool about it. Even though I know it was probably an inconvenience to them, they didn't make me feel like it was :) read more

Zeppolli's - Veggie pasta with garlic and olive oil (not on the menu) - Salad Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

My husband & I ate here the other night and couldn't have been more pleased! I'm not a huge pasta lover, but I absolutely loved my pasta dish :) my husband said it was the best shrimp Alfredo he has ever had! We are already looking forward to our next meal! read more

I've been to Zeppoli's several times since living in Blacksburg. Pretty much every time I go I'm so disappointed and wonder why I let myself be dragged there. I'll give an easy breakdown of why. Food: Not impressed by the food at all. Each time the food is so mediocre I end up wondering why I'm paying so much for something I could do myself at home, and better; that's not what you want to think when you go out to have a good time and avoid having to do things at home yourself. The last time I went the pasta was undercooked and the sausage was presented as two long slabs tossed over the pasta. Not very exciting. Service and staff: The servers are usually allright, albeit a bit sarcastic at times which is expected from a place that has college students as servers. Whenever I've gone and stayed a bit after people have left, they begin to turn the lights on and off to boot you out of there. The last time I went, the owner basically told us she wanted the last bottle of cabernet sauvignon and that we should have the merlot instead. What the heck kind of restaurant owner wants to hog the last bottle of cabernet to herself when the customers want some more? They do pack the food for you in a box if you want it to go and the house wines are pretty cheap and decent. All in all this place is OK. Don't expect to be wooed. read more

Place claims to give 1 hour and 30 mins for bottomless mimosas but they went back on their promise and this is ridiculous they say it's the boss's fault but I believe they just think we're a little too fun you be the judge. read more

Wonderful staff. Great food! Bacon wrapped scallops were go good. The garlic bacon spinach pasta was excellent. Can't go wrong!

We came here for dinner last night because I was really craving some pasta. It was an interesting night to say the least. It was our first time dining at the restaurant and our waitress was in training. Though the service wasn't bad at all, I think that it definitely could have been better. I know she was new so we cut her some slack, but I just feel like the other waiters and waitresses at our surrounding tables were more on top of things and checked on their diners way more than she came to check on us. Again, I don't blame her because she's new so we let it slide. After we ordered our drinks, we got a loaf of bread with garlic dipping sauce that was really good. My one gripe about the bread was that every table had the choice between an Italian or Olive loaf and we didn't. The waitress didn't ask us what we wanted and just brought us a loaf of white bread. I would have preferred the Olive loaf... but again, we let it slide. For dinner, I ordered the Spinach and cheese raviloi in their Mushroom Rose sauce which was AMAZING! The sauce was really really good - I enjoyed it a lot. My fiance ordered the lasagna which looked incredibly overcooked and didn't really taste all that special. I had a bite of his and it really tasted like what I make at home. Typically, when you go out, you expect your entrees to taste better than something you can throw together at home so that was a huge letdown. He didn't eat the bottom piece of pasta on his lasagna because it was stuck to the baking dish and burnt pretty badly. I think he would have liked it a lot better if he got a different entree. All in all, it was an okay experience. It wasn't the best Italian we've ever had, but it wasn't bad either. I thought the entrees were a touch over price for what they were. I mean this isn't exactly fine dining or anything even though I think they try to come off as a fine dining establishment... Given the choice, I'm not sure if I'd come back or not. I think just because it was our first time and we got a new waitress, things just weren't as great as they could have been. It's no fault of her own, it's just I don't like to be the guinea pig when I go out to eat you know? read more

I'm not sure what took me so long to try Zeppolli's. I guess I was afraid of disappointment because nothing depresses me more than bad Italian. NOTHING. Well, I shall fear no longer! Zeppolli's is a perfectly good Italian restaurant. It is slightly more on the Italian side of Italian-American cuisine, which is great. Portions are appreciably generous and the garlic is fresh. You won't find squid ink pasta, but where can you get that in Blacksburg anyway? read more

Excellent food and service. We often like the specials and daily soups, which can be inspired. On Wednesdays they offer a very reasonably priced wine tasting, which includes a lot of food. I learn a lot. We find that lunch here is often cheaper than nearby Panera, and is infinitely better. My favorite is their Balsamic chicken salad, but their raviolis and pastas are excellent too. read more

This is one of the few Italian restaurants I've been to that have their own Wine Cellar that you can look around in and buy wine from. They'll let you buy it from there and will cork it for you for only $2. Even though the cellar isn't large by any means, they still have a pretty extensive collection. As for their food, we had a pretty good experience there. I got their combination platter, which was one manicotti roll and smaller portion of their eggplant Parmesan. My fiancee got their Veal Tenderloin. Both were pretty good. For desert, we got their Chocolate Lava Cake, which unfortunately I would NOT recommend to anyone. It was sooo rich that we couldn't eat very much of it and I love chocolate. read more

We went with our daughter and son-in-law. We really liked the atmosphere and friendly service. All the food was really good. For appetizers we had the olive bread burrata flat bread. For the entrees we had the homemade ravioli with marinara sauce, lasagna, meatballs and sausage, and a past dish with shrimp. All were very satisfying. The server was very knowledgable about the wine and she steered us to a very good Carménère. And it is nice to be able to order wine and not pay restaurant prices for the bottle. The food was very satisfying and we would definitely return. The only minor issue was that water was not bout until we asked for it. Not sure if that is a new thing now. read more

We made reservations months in advance for a graduation dinner. We had a very nice experience there in 2017 & wanted to come back. Unfortunately it wasn't as nice as I had hoped. One person in our party found a metal shaving in her food. I showed our waitress & she apologized but that was as far as it went. I found a piece of rosemary in my tiramisu which was an interesting taste twist. Kind of disappointed as we had looked forward to coming back there this year. read more

Waited 25 minutes and no waiter came. Couple other groups left too for the same reason. Don't know what thats about but the menu sounded good. Oh well. read more

This is my favorite Blacksburg restaurant for Italian food. They don't have pizza, but their noodles are homemade and their dishes are delicious. Jackie always delivers excellent service at lunch. Very nice wine choices too! read more

Here with friends Lorie, Anne, Bill and James. Anne, who teaches here, recommended the place - it was a wonderful recommendation. The food was good, the wine was good, and the prices were reasonable. The service was excellent (Thanks, Zach!). And it has an attractive, clean and friendly vibe, just right for yakking about kids or math or whatever is on your mind (or not). A very good value overall and a nice place to be, and Anne and other friends say it's consistently this way. Go there! read more

One of the fancier restaurants in Blacksburg, Zeppoli's is a good place to take your significant other on a special occasion, or to have a group dinner before a formal. (Or if you'd just like to enjoy some good Italian food and wine.) It's been a long time since I dined here, but I remember the pasta was very good and that the service was very attentive. Definitely a great place if you love Italian cuisine. The walls are an odd shade of sea green though, and I wish they'd repaint it since it personally made me lose my appetite. read more

The food was great and the service was friendly, fast, and efficient. One error in our order was immediately fixed, even before we could note it to our waiter who also then gave us a beer on the house for the mistake. The corkage fee of $2 is a steal, unless you consider that's if you buy the bottle from their store...which you happen to walk through to get to the dining area. Still, not terrible. Not sure of the corkage if you bring in a bottle... What I really didn't understand was the $1 per guest fee if you bring your own cake... Not only did I find this unnecessary in a restaurant that seems to be doing everything else right, it's downright confusing. I mean, come on, what if I go by myself, bring a cake, and want to eat the whole thing by myself, one slice at a time? Is it only $1 or will they charge me for each slice? That said, this is the Burg and not a city, so if I only ate in the New River Valley I'd give it more stars and consider it a good option for dinner. read more

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here and the experience was great. We had a group of 54 and they easily set aside a section of the restaurant for us. The food was excellent and the servers were very polite and attentive. A large majority of our guests were from out of town and they were very complimentary of the experience. My wife and I will gladly come back. read more

Had carry out while in town for a short stay. Food was good and easy to order. Would eat there again for sure!

There are certain things I love on their menu that keep me coming back. This time, it was the baked scallop dish. Divine. However, I keep hoping this place will get a make over. The green walls are just puckish and the decor is simply outdated. Some of the wait staff needs revamped; if they aren't the best, don't keep them. This place has too much potential for me to see too much cleavage and deal with a person that doesn't know their wines. If this issue were addressed, I'd become a regular instead of an occasional twice a year pop in. read more

When I first came here in 2004 for my sisters graduation the place was amazing. I specifically remember the great bread and butter! It was so sweet and light. Sadly the key is "was", as over the years the quality of food has just fallen. This past time I went, nobody in my party had anythign good to say. One complained the lasagna was over cooked. Another that the alfredo was "gritty". My ravioli was tough. The best I heard was that the chicken parm was ok. The staff was very prompt and a person I assume to be the manager appologized for having us wait for a table to clear, and then once seated came by again to thank us for our patience. They even have a nice little wine shop and offer tastings. However, I just can't get over how much the food has fallen. read more

Not that the food was bad or anything... It just wasn't worth the price. I got spaghetti w/ meatballs for close to $13. I'm still not sure why I paid that much because it definitely was not worth it. It seemed to me like all the other items on the menu were inflated too. The service was decent, and the ambiance is alright. Definitely has a more upscale feel when it comes to local Blacksburg restaurants, but the prices didn't match the true cost of the food and the service didn't particularly make up for it. read more

This italian joint is pretty quaint and hidden away on ucb. I'm not a big fan of marinara sauce and most of their menu boasts of freshly made marinara. Their pastas are all freshly made and the best items on the menu. We ordered the veal marsala pasta, broccoli and chicken pollo pasta and Greek shrimp pasta. The Greek shrimp wins hands down! The garlic herb sauce is pretty darn finger licking!. Also,they give complementary bread alongside. You might need to add a bit of extra salt and pepper to your pastas. read more

See all

the owner came out and had a very negative attitude. he was flirtatious with the party at my table, and other people near by. very unprofessional. would not recommend anyone go here due to the nature of the owner and the way he connects with his customers and his employees. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the manicotti was here. They definitely used freshly made crepes and the marinara sauce was slightly sweet and still had some texture- it wasn't completely pureed which I liked. Our party had about 12 people, so we did call ahead and they had our table reserved and ready to go as soon as we walked in. The server was attentive and got all our orders/bills right. The olive bread was wonderfully warm, served on a cutting board with olive oil and butter. The menu was quite extensive with many options. The prices were fair- my 2 good-sized manicottis were $8.99. I will definitely be coming back when another Italian craving hits! read more

The pasta is amazing. The bread you get in the start is fresh out of the oven and the lasagna will not disappoint. Everything on the menu so far has been delicious. read more

Ordered takeout from here. It was kinda shit. I got some sausage dish with peppers and wine and ricotta. First off there was no ricotta. Big disappointment. I'm gluten free and the gluten free pasta was awful. I'm not kidding when I say the texture was like toothpaste. The sauce and the ingredients were fine, but the pasta ruined the whole dish. Prolly won't go back. read more

Yummy food and awesome staff! Enjoyed a nice dinner with a friend here where we ordered a fabulous charcuterie board and some delicious homemade pasta. My spaghetti with meat sauce was yummy but my friends manicotti was incredible! Our waitress was also super great. She was funny and attentive and I kind of wanted to be her friend, ha! All in all it was a very enjoyable dinner! I'll be back when I'm back in town! read more

Extremely overpriced for average Italian food. Food was simply decent, not worth the price whatsoever. Ordered three dishes with chicken and each one the chicken was tough and overcooked. If I'm spending this much on any food, the chicken shouldn't be overcooked. Honestly feel scammed. read more

This was a really great restaraunt. Friendly and fast service and great food. I'd definitely come back again if I'm in the area.

We tried this place twice and were disappointed both times. First time we ate in the restaurant. The food was ok, but not outstanding. But the tables were packed so tightly we couldn't move. Most of the patrons were very old (we have 2 kids) and it was very uncomfortable. The restaurant wasn't very busy but they made us feel like sardines while most of the place was empty. After the uncomfortable eat in experience, we tried take out. The food was ready on time but that is about the only positive aspect. Once we got the food home and started opening it, it was appalling how small the portions were. We bought calamari as an appetizer for $6.99. It was literally 1/10th the size you would get at Carrabbas and nowhere near as good. Shrimp scampi was the same. Bruschetta once again the same. We paid $45 for not enough food for one person. We're not necessarily cheap when it comes to eating out but it feel we should at least be full when paying that much. Ambience was uncomfortable. Portion size was unfathomable. Taste was ok but not anything special. Tried to give it a fair shake but won't go back. read more

I will not go to this restaurant nor will I order carry out from them again... I have always ordered from them when in town to visit my mother but this last visit was a mess when ordering and to top it my email was not responded to ...email was sent September 29th.... enclosed copy of email ... beware folks their online menu does not reflect current prices... BAIT AND SWITCH I say.... Hello: I have made a point to order from your restaurant when I am in town visiting my mother. I have to say the order I placed this evening was disappointing. It started with the person I spoke with to call in our carry out dinner and was given the total. It took a bit to register that the total was incorrect based upon your web site menu. I called her back promptly and told her that we wanted 2 half orders not full orders as her total seemed to reflect. Per your web site Fettuccine Alfredo is $6.99 for a half order and to add shrimp an additional $4.00 per order. She said no the shrimp were $6.00 per half order. (enclosed please find a snip pic of your web page menu with pricing).. Personally I feel that is an insult. I am ordering from your web site menu that clearly states 2014 and the pricing should have been adjusted to reflect that for my order. Or you should alter your web page and not just expect people calling in to get slapped with higher pricing. Then to add insult to injury when I went to pick up our order the person that rang me up shoved the credit card receipt for me to sign, dropped a pen on the counter and walked off to yammer and gossip with another girl, I could hear them... I was left standing at the counter to sign my name alone no one to take my signed receipt while I could hear them chattering away behind a partition. Now there were hardly any cars in the lot there was no one standing around and as far as I could tell not busy what so ever, is it that difficult to wait for a customer to sign a card receipt and take it from them? Or was the discussion the two girls were having so much more important than doing their job? The time stamp on my receipt shows 5:15 check number 2940. I worked in the food service industry when I was in college here some 30 plus years ago and would never have dropped a pen and walked off... RUDE. Honestly I doubt I will order or come to your restaurant after this experience. I was born in Blacksburg and my mother has lived here for over 51 years right behind your restaurant and I come into town often and am here for a month stretch at least 2 times per year. Sincerely, CL The email was sent less than an hour after I picked up the carry out and it is now Oct 5th. Their web page clearly states they check the email 2 times per day. Who is checking it ? clearly not the owners or if they are they rather have rude employees... or "the yammering rude girl that tossed the pen and had to go finish her gossip session"..... really to not respond NO freaking way will I order from them again.... read more

The two dishes we had we ok but nothing special. Then again I'm from Jersey, maybe I'm spoiled by all the great Italian food up north.

We come here every time we come to Blacksburg. Great wine selection, fresh and home made pasta and friendly service. We just got back from a long trip to Italy and the ravioli is very close to what we ate there. Sauce is great. Make reservations! read more

The best part of Zeppoli's is the adjoining wine shop, where you can purchase a bottle at wine store prices and drink it at dinner for a corkage of $2. You can even take open bottles home. Zeppoli's provides straight-up, uncomplicated Italian food, but if your palate desires something more sophisticated, you should look elsewhere. Some dishes are better than others. The most recent time we went, our table ordered four dishes. The Greek shrimp pasta was flavorful, thanks to feta, olives, and a huge amount of oil and salt. The flatbread lacked a distinctive taste and texture (not quite chewy, not quite crunchy). The ravioli was just that; I could buy some ravioli, marinara, and cheese at the grocery store and produce exactly the same thing. The ravioli are supposedly handmade. The Mediterranean haddock (or some other firm, white fish) was cooked well but somehow lacked flavor despite being accompanied by feta, olives, and tomatoes. It was like all the flavor had been sucked out of it. It was accompanied by a plate of six spears of overcooked asparagus lying on top of a pile of limp linguine. read more

We enjoyed appetizers and dinner. Great selection of wines and entrées. Service was excellent and the waiter made wonderful suggestions. Prices were reasonable and we didn't feel rushed or pressured to hurry up and eat. Dessert was freshly made and one is big enough to split. read more

I really enjoy Zeppolli's. Have been there many times for lunch with friends. The wait staff is friendly and efficient and the food delicious. Recently I attended a wine dinner and a wine tasting with a friend. Both events were fun and informative and we plan on going again. read more

I liked this place. Very filling and the tiramasu (spelling?) was DELISH!. I got the italian sampler with chickem parm. Lasagna and pasta... had to waddle back to hotel. Will visit again while in town. read more

Atmosphere leers on the awful side; food is almost decent; and the service is friendly. Not the worst place I've ever been, and the prices aren't too over the top, but I wouldn't recommend to anybody craving good quality Italian. Is there anything in this college town worth eating? read more
