Zina's Cucina

What a gem of a restaurant! My boyfriend lives towards the CT coast and I'm in West Hartford, so this is about halfway for both of us. The service was good despite our server covering both our table and the bar. It wasn't busy on this weeknight, but they appear to do a pretty good takeout business. We sat outside. Ideally the patio wouldn't be so close to the road, but it is spacious and comfortable. The food was excellent. The chicken picatta was salty and briny as you'd expect. I had the Zina's Stompanad. It was amazing with a ton of flavor and chicken that was fork tender. The polenta was good too. The gluten free options are so nice, especially for an Italian place. They are plentiful and labeled on the regular menu. Also, the bathrooms were spotless. We will definitely meet here again!

Had a delicious meal tonight!! We ordered the Lasagne, Pan Seared Salmon, and the Zina's Stemperata and everyone was extremely happy with their meal. It is nice that they have items on their menu marked gluten free for those of us with celiac. Will definitely be coming back again.
