Zucchini's

We had our parent's anniversary party this past weekend in the downstairs function hall. Not only was the price more than reasonable, what we received for what we paid was outstanding! The food was great. We opted for the antipasto and cheese and crackers for appetizers. We selected the Italian buffet for dinner. We had two guests that needed gluten-free meals and that was not an issue at all. All I had to do was point out what guests they were, and the servers took care of the rest. The service was excellent. We were even able to provide our own music by Bluetooth speakers we brought. The room was very nicely styled as well. I highly recommend Zucchini's for your event needs.

My husband & I found an Italian restaurant in Pittsfield called Zucchini’s. We had gone somewhere else in Pittsfield and they were being totally rude to us because of my service dog. I mean ridiculously obnoxious, so we left. It was the best decision we made because from there we went to Zucchini’s!! Zuccini’s was awesome! It was a meal we were happy to be paying for and at the same time the prices were very fair. Too often we go out to dinner and we leave feeling hungry, disappointed, overcharged, and knowing I could have made it better at home. Additionally important to me, is they never blinked an eyelash at my service dog. At Zucchini’s, they actually know how to cook Italian!! They make their own pasta, their own sausage, and they use SAN MARZANO tomatoes for red sauces and pizza!! I can’t remember the last time we went to a restaurant that used SAN MARZANO tomatoes. They make all the difference in the world. The dining room was nice and warm, we were seated next to a window and it was still cozy and warm. I hate going out to eat and feeling like I need to keep my jacket on, or stuff it against the window. There was a mixture of lettuce for the salad without any hearts and zero rust spots on the lettuce, multiple pieces of nice ripe tomatoes, and the ENGLISH cucumber pieces were peeled. Their homemade white balsamic dressing was good and there was plenty of dressing on the salad. The bread that came with salad was homemade, served with salted butter rounds. It was nice not to see little plastic packets. I had the Margherita pizza. They must use a high gluten flour for the pizza and bread, because it was light and soft and hand stretched. It was cooked in a wood fired brick pizza oven. It was so nice not to have overworked tough pizza dough. The roasted garlic was actually roasted not just sautéed or overcooked but actually caramelized, so sweet and good. The fresh mozzarella must be of good quality because there was no grease on the pizza. I didn’t even have to use any napkins to soak up any grease. Often restaurants and pizza shops use cheap cheeses and you end up with puddles of fat on your pizza, not here! My husband’s chicken parm was hand pounded breaded, it was a very good size and it was not American sized. I really dislike seeing plates that are twice the size of a normal plate with food falling off it being brought out to customers. In my opinion, especially in New England, people feel that the cost of their meal makes them entitled to, not just the meal they ordered and ate but at least one more to bring home. It’s a ridiculous conception. His meal was a VERY heavy portion that filled his plate but, was still for 1 person, not three. He said it was fantastic. We had creme brûlée for dessert. It was soooo good. The drink prices were literally half of what we’ve been spending at other restaurants in the area. I can’t say enough good about the place. I think I sure have tried, though.
