  Have been to Zafferano on numerous occasions and the food here is always very good. Would recommend the calamari and meats as we have always found them to be excellent. Also from time to time they have very creative meat specials like venison which was very enjoyable as well.

  I'll get straight to the point by starting off saying, the food was really good. I got the fettuccine with lobster in a rosé sauce with some cheese sprinkled on top. It was very tasty and had a decent size of lobster. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food (we had a big reservation) accept a few thought the calamari was gross (it was, tasted like egg). Also loved the presentation of the food.
  
  Anyway, the issues I had with my experience was one, upon entrance, the host asked what my reservation name was and when I told him, he seemed clueless and told me to look for them in the restaurant. Not the most courteous service.
  
  Second issue, we had a very large group (around 20 people) and they put everyone's orders on two bills. I don't see why everyone couldn't get a separate bill because it took around 30 minutes for everyone to separate their meal, and evenly divide the added gratuity and tax. Don't understand why it was an issue, especially since some paid with cash and others with card anyway!
  
  Zaffereno is a bit out of the way so I wouldn't travel back here just because. I'd give it another try, probably with a smaller group.

  Been to this place twice, and it was a pleasant experience on both visits.
  They have a semi private room which is great for little gatherings and get togethers.
  The menu is very authentic but with an americanized touch, however, the deep authentic italian flavours are all there.
  The bruschetta and risotto are great, and the Vitello is just GREAT!

  Came here on a tuesday night around 6pm. We were seated right away. Did notice it got abit busy around 7pm, which our server said it was odd to see this many tables on weekday. Even it was busy our server came to check on us couple of times, each time she would apologize for the leak of service (which i dont even think she did)
  We ordered calamari alla griglia (grilled calamari) to start. It was grilled perfectly, i just found it was leaking abit of salt.
  Main course :  linguine tutto mare e monti, tomatoe sauce seafood linguine. Where do i start! Linguine & seafood were cooked to perfection! The tomatoe sauce has a hint of spice! The dish is loaded with seafood which includes clams, musscles, shrimps, scallops, and king crab legs! We also ordered a quattro stagioni pizza! Fire wood pizza!
  I would definitely come back! Great food and great service!

  We came for dinner for my niece's bday.
  There is free parking for the plaza that it is located in. It has a cozy interior and was full of customers when we arrived for our reservation at 7:30pm on a Friday.
  We had a lovely elevated table that was a little separate from the rest of the dining room.
  The staff were friendly and helpful and their menu is creative and offers nice Italian food.
  For apps, my fam had meatballs, puff pastry with ricotta and burrata with toast and pears. I mentioned I needed veg, gf and dairy free. I requested the polenta with no toppings. They brought me 3 pieces of polenta with figs and prosciutto on the side. Hubby ate the meat. The polenta was bland but with no toppings I guess it's what I asked for.
  Everyone had various pastas and everyone was happy. They offer spelt, rice and whole grain pasta substitutes. My mom's pasta accidentally was given to another table so she had to wait for her meal. They apologized many times for the error. The only thing I didn't like was that apps and dinner had to be ordered at the same time. We were so hungry coming from work and would have liked to order and eat our apps while everyone was deciding on entrees.
  They let us bring our own cake and served it too.
  The washrooms were fairly cl
