    Basque cake and chocolate
    Jasmine M.

    On our way to the airport, we had to make one final stop at ZuZu after seeing its impressive gin selection. After spending time in Spain, we've become fairly tough critics when it comes to tapas and pintxos, so our expectations were high. Thankfully, ZuZu delivered a memorable experience. We originally came hoping to find a Basque cheesecake, but instead discovered their Basque cake. My husband absolutely loved it. It was rich, flavorful, and a wonderful surprise that more than satisfied the craving. The cooling sangria was exactly what we needed on a warm Napa afternoon. Refreshing, balanced, and not overly sweet, it paired beautifully with the relaxed atmosphere and felt like the perfect way to unwind before our flight home. For dessert, I ordered the chocolate mousse, which was perfect for a warm Napa afternoon. It struck a wonderful balance between light and indulgent, with a rich chocolate flavor that never felt too heavy. It was the kind of dessert that leaves you satisfied without slowing you down, making it the perfect treat before a long walk through Napa or heading to the airport. While our stop was brief, ZuZu left a lasting impression. Between the impressive gin program, refreshing sangria, thoughtful desserts, and lively atmosphere, it was a wonderful final taste of Napa before heading home.

    This place is tiny and the tables are packed pretty tight. It's a pretty loud setting, great for certain occasions. The service wasn't great. The server had no smile on her face and didn't bother to explain the menu and their specialities to us. When I had a question on a certain item, I felt she was irritated to answer and made me feel dumb on why I wouldn't know that already. She also missed ordering an item that I had placed. And because my party and I didn't feel welcome, we ended up leaving early without ordering further. There were other examples of poor service but I will bare the community the details. The worst was they charged 20% gratuity automatically for large parties, but they certainly didn't deliver. I am typically fine with auto gratuity but you have to provide service too. Food wise- the ceviche was bland. The skirt steak was flavorful and well executed. It's too bad that their service ruined it all. There are plenty other restaurants nearby that would be happy to earn my business.

    Peach goat cheese salad

    We had such an amazing experience, it was definitely a combination of our amazing server Damien, who led us to the perfect cocktails, and the perfect meal with just the right amount of attention not too much not too little very professional, but very personal as well and very knowledgeable the food was outstanding. I think our favorite was the peach goat cheese salad. My husband was in love with the Gambas Al Ajillo, the broth was to die for and they brought bread to sop up all the goodness. The Queso Frito was very yummy, as well as the Akaushi Flat iron steak. Can't wait to return!

    Walking in downtown Napa and we passed by Zuzu. Ot was inviting and the idea of tapas made us all excited. We were seated at the counter height table so it was a bit uncomfortable with a child but its not too big of a deal. Our orders were croquettes, mussels for small plates and we ordered the zuzu paella and paella negra. We had daiquiri and singapore "something" for our drinks. Everything was tasty and good! The paellas were both delicious and the mussels has a great balance of citrus and savory! We were seated outdoors and the vibe was great! It just took a while for the check and one of the orders was late. Overall I would definitely come again for a good Spanish cuisine!

    Ceviche del Dia

    We escaped our little ones to celebrate our anniversary at Zuzu on a Thursday evening. It was a perfect and much needed date night! Located in the very pleasant and walkable downtown Napa area, we parked in a nearby structure at no charge around 6pm. The restaurant itself has a casual, welcoming ambiance with tables indoors/patio and upstairs. We started off with some strong drinks - I got the Sazerac pomegranate style and Wifey ordered the Singapore Sling. Foodwise, we ordered the Ceviche del Dia, Pan Fried Manchego Cheese, Chicken Croquetas, Gulf Shrimp w/ Garlic, and the Flat-Iron Steak. The shrimp was ridiculously flavorable, and the tastes still lingered on us all the way home. Our medium-rare flat iron steak was perfectly done - tender in the middle and seared nicely on the edges with whatever amazing stuff they put on top of it. We had a great time sipping our drinks, chatting, and enjoying our tapas plates one by one. Our server, Tony, was kind, helpful, and didn't rush us through our orders. Thank you, Zuzu, for a wonderful time celebrating our special evening!

    Stopped into ZuZu on a Saturday night with no reservation and we were seated pretty quickly. This was our first time dining here and our lovely waiter gave us all the best recommendations and picked an amazing bottle of Albariño for us. My favorite foods were the ZuZu Paella, Chicken Croquetas, and the Banana Tres Leches. The restaurant has such a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for long date nights!

    Sad to say that ZuZu didn't really hit the mark. I will say that the atmosphere and vibes were immaculate. The restaurant is located in downtown Napa and it's beautiful. There's a live guitarist across the street playing music, with the street lights and people wandering out (this part was great). Now to the not so great parts: -The ceviche came out first, it was very bland. It had very little seafood and was mostly Jicama (the sweet white root vegetable). The chips were okay. -the paella's rice didn't have those crispy edges. It was all extremely mushy. The amount of seafood was very generous but it was also bland. Most of the flavor came from the lemon and squid ink. -the steak pieces were very flavorful. This was the best part of the meal. However, for $50 I would find this more enjoyable if i had a couple more bites? But, I know as a tapas restaurant the plates would be small (although wasn't expecting it to be this small). Overall, the service was alright. Our server was extremely busy so I can tell they were not as attentive as they wished to be. It did take a long time for somebody to come take our order but that didn't take away from the experience at all. TLDR: come for the vibes not the food

    Sangria and a plate of olives and a very beautiful setting. The service was beautiful. The ambience was great. It's right along the river.

    This was a beautiful restaurant in Napa Valley tapas plates along the river, beautiful sangria. We had a tomato heirloom salad that was exquisite. I would recommend this as a destination not just a stop.

    My bf and I made a reservation for the same day weekend easily. We arrived slightly early around 5pm and were seated without a wait as there was no one there. We got to sit upstairs. Ordered Jamon 5/5: this is so good and a great size for a couple to share! It came with two pieces of toaste ( garlic or olive?) Paella 5/5: delicious! It was a seafood and chicken paella. It comes with a lemony sauce that you can mix in. We had it the day after and it still hit so well haha Steak with chimichurri 5/5: im not a big steak person but this was good! The sauce was great. Parking: free lots nearby or street Overall I would come back for a nice date night or a meal with friends/family!

    zuzu paella
    Aileen L.

    Our group of 3 dropped by Zuzu around 7pm on a Saturday, and were placed on the waitlist and told to return when we received a text. We walked around downtown and enjoyed looking at the Lighted Festival installations for around 30 minutes until we got a text to check back in. There are actually two entrances to two rooms that are adjacent to eachother, and we were seated alongside the wall across from the bar. The space is dimly lit and cozy - definitely a little tightly packed but still with enough space to have a conversation without needing to shout. We got an assortment of tapas and the Zuzu paella to share - everything was excellent, but we especially enjoyed the ceviche of the day, the bacalao, and the paella. The 4 tapas and the paella were quite filling for the 3 of us, despite our inital concerns that the paella looked on the smaller side. The paella had a very generous amount of seafood, and was very flavorful - the texture of the rice was excellent as well. I'll definitely be back for tapas and paella at Zuzu! It's probably best for couples and smaller groups, and can definitely get busy, so I would plan ahead for a short wait :)

    Sonoma Coast Lamb Chops
    Reshma A.

    This was a vey mixed experience. I would rate it 3.5 stars. My husband enjoyed his meal, while I did not. The stand out dish was the mushroom freido, it was perfectly seasoned and came out hot. My husband enjoyed the lamb chops (special of the day). The queso tapas was just alright, I think it would have tasted better had it been a little warmer. The flan cheesecake was a tiny sliver, and more cheesecake than flan flavor. The gin and tonic of the day came in a giant glass, and seemed a little watered down. The negroni was fine... The service was great, our server had the deepest voice ever heard to man, he took good care of us.

    Agave blossom

    We enjoyed our lunch at Zuzu. This Spanish tapas restaurant has good food and great service. We sat outside and the weather was perfect for a mid-day lunch. The decor was cute and inviting. We ordered the following: Lamb chop: over-cooked but tasted pretty good. It came with Mediterranean bbq sauce (3.5/5) Patatas fritas (4.5/5): very nicely fried and the potatoes were seasoned well but the sauce left some to be desired. It kind of tasted like chipotle in adobo from the can. Flank steak (4.75/5; delicious . Perfectly cooked. Great chimichurri but no jalapeño. Biggest complaint is that the description of this dish wasn't accurate. Lamb tartare (5/5; great seasoning texture and bread. One of my favorite dishes of the meal. Dungeoness crab filo dough special (Tunisian brik pastry- 4.5; amazing egg w runny yolk, lots of crab, green onion good flavor balanced and unique. Queso frito (5/5; great taste and seasoning. Perfectly fried and salad was awesome Drinks: Agave blossom (4/5; pretty strong but nothing phenomenal) and espresso martini (4/5: decent but I've had better.). Overall, we had a very satisfying meal and there were some stand out dishes in our meal.

    Paella Del Dia
    Mikayla H.

    This place was unfortunately a letdown. I was excited to try ZuZu after seeing positive reviews online, but nothing really matched my expectations onsite. First, we had a wait of about 20 minutes to be seated for dinner, which was reasonable. However, our waiter left us hanging for over 15 minutes before taking our order. It was so hard to flag someone down, and the food also took almost 40 minutes to come out. At this point, we were just so hungry that anything tasted good. The paella was alright, but I wish there were more crispy edges. The portion also said for two, but I honestly felt like I could've eaten the one plate on my own LOL. Overall I didn't feel like the price justified the value.

    I believe I ate this.

    Are dogs allowed at the outdoor seating?

    i believe so, but you should call up ZuZu to confirm

    They are charging $10/person for a reservation. Will that be applied to the bill?

    Yes

    They indicate vegan options but what are they as nothing on the menu is vegan?

    They can sub or remove items ie. Cheese, making a handful of items vegan

    It's March 21, 2022 and even vaxxed and boosted people are still getting omicron, yet county restrictions are being relaxed. Are the servers currently vaccinated and, more importantly, masked?

    I don't see any of the servers wearing masks. But you are better off wearing a mask cause safety first and I am a safety freak who prefers wearing a mask to better be safe than sorry.

    Does Zuzu accept reservations?

    They sure do!

    Reservations only accept a party of up to 4 persons, there's gonna be 5 of us - can we walk in?

    Most of the tables are for 4 so it might be a little tricky. There is a communal table upstairs that can easily sit 5, though you might have to wait.… Read more

    Why doesn't this place take reservations?!

    They do now! Visit their website.

    Are you guys available for take out?

    Yes. Do it! Thus-Sun

    Since there is no reservation, what is the average wait time on saturday evening?

    Depends on how early or late you go. During prime time we haven't waited more than half an hour for a table for two. Later, say after 830, we've been sat almost right away. It's worth the little wait. :)

    Do they still have the black paella or the arros negro?

    yes they do!

The soup was a white bean and sausage and it was perfectly salty and fatty. The bread and butter was a perfect accompaniment. The Carpe Diem salad was also really special. It had these Cabernet soaked dried cranberries that were so good and tart. For an entree, we ordered the short ribs which come over a risotto. It felt a little heavy, and maybe the sauce could've used a little acid to cut the heaviness. It was still really delicious though. For dessert, we had the espresso crème brûlée.

What caught my eye was their Taco Tuesday specials and today just happens to be Tuesday! We came in early evening, just before the dinner rush and apparently this is a very popular local bar and grill. Most of their customers were regulars, I could tell. It felt warm and comfortable inside and it had a very community feel in there. I was observing how the server conversed with every customer and she was so kind and attentive. She was very helpful to me in suggesting some of their popular menu items. We got the fish tacos, the shrimp tacos, the lamb sliders, Brussels sprouts, grilled tri-tip, the flautas and the empanadas. I would say my personal favorites were the grilled tri-tip, the Brussels sprouts and the empanadas. The Brussels sprouts were lightly crispy and chewy but absorbed all the roasted shallot vinaigrette, so it was a nice umami bite every time. The tri-tip was cooked like I like it (I don't like my beef bloody, sorry, not sorry). It was so flavorful thanks to the black truffle compound butter! Omg! It was delicious! The empanadas were lightly crispy and came with a really good chipotle crema sauce and I was dipping my empanada in that sauce because it really complemented the chicken tinga filling and crispy cornmeal crust. My oldest son loved the fish tacos. They were so crispy and loaded. My youngest son loved the lamb sliders. They were tasty and had a slight smokiness but the rosemary aioli brought it all together for me. It was such a nice touch. Overall, based on the outstanding service we received and the delicious food, I would highly recommend this place if you're in Napa. We live in the East Bay, but whenever I come to Napa, I will remember to stop here to get some good eats! The staff was also friendly and super sweet!

We were pleasantly greeted by Abby, served brunch drinks, and got great menu recommendations. One of the best French 75s I have had! We ordered the Spinach Benedict and the Beef Hash. Both dishes were very interesting and flavorful - not your average faire. The benedict was unusual, with the tomato-based sauce, but very tasty. The hash was heavy with local mushrooms, which gave it a richness and depth. The accompanying eggs were beautifully prepared (poached for the Benedict, and fried sunny side up for the hash). We loved the atmosphere, the food, and the super friendly and personal service. Thank you Girl and the Fig for making us feel like old friends and serving us such lovely food! We'll be back soon!

    We had been to Allegria before but it was so long ago that we really didn't remember the…read moreexperience. So for our 5 year wedding Anniversary we decided to celebrate and have dinner here. I had made reservations about a month prior requesting to sit on the second floor overlooking the restaurant. When we arrived we were greeted normally. Hostess walked us upstairs but sat us away from the tables over looking the restaurant. She said those were already reserved. So I asked if she could just sit us downstairs. ** i just want to preference while it wasn't a big deal, the tables were empty the entire time we were there. (Picture attached) We were seated at the corner of the restaurant near the front door. Again not a deal breaker but it could have been a better table. Once seated we were greeted by our amazing server Jessica. I cannot stress how wonderful she was, from beginning to end. She was so attentive and super sweet. She opened a bottle of wine that we had brought with us to celebrate. (Crock fee was $25, fyi). She even offered to pour our wine into a decanter. We started off with some appetizers, the crab cakes and skirt steak satay. OMG these two items were just absolutely delicious. So much flavor! For our entrees I ordered the chicken parmigiana with Alfredo and my husband ordered the Linguine Frutti Di Mare. Again, the food was absolutely amazing. We definitely will be coming back. If you are planning on coming to Napa I highly recommend Allegria and making reservations.

    Our first evening in Napa, we wanted a nice dinner spot. We were celebrating our 45th wedding…read moreanniversary and Father's Day and those days hit in Yosemite, with limited really nice options. So we chose Ristorante Allegria as our fall back. We were there on a Tuesday night and they were very busy. So glad we made reservations! Our host and server were both very pleasant and accommodating. Nice ambiance, classy, but a bit noisy. Started with a Napa Cabernet, which was good. The complementary bread was fresh and the garlic dipping sauce was good, although we prefer basaltic and oil. We generally split or do a half salad and then split an entree. We started with a split insalata di arugula which reminds us of a salad at our favorite restaurant in Eugene. Pears, walnuts and bleu cheese with arugula. It was excellent and gave us hope for the main course. Our main was penne con pollo, which they split for us (no split charge). It had a wonderful chipotle basil sauce that included sweet corn and sun-dried tomatoes. It was wonderful. So glad we went!
