Sunday night late decision and we walked into Zico Cucina mainly because it was busy which was good sign.
I had medallions of Pork which was fantastic..amazing Jus and seasonal vegetables were perfect al dente.
Cindy had pumpkin ravioli in brown butter sauce which she said was best she had ever …even having spent 3 months in Italy
service was great and price was right -

If you want to be fed, watered and on your way again this is the place to go. The friendly waiter seated us and had our entrees to us quick smart. I mentioned we weren’t in a rush, (the restaurant only had one other couple at the time). Sadly our mains arrived as we were finishing off our entrees. (Obviously they were in a rush to get us out). Our meals were bland (where was the seasoning?) , though the teenagers with us enjoyed theirs. From being seated to being shown the door was a total of about 40 minutes. We probably could have extended our stay (by minutes) by ordering dessert and coffee but decided to go elsewhere.

Good place to have dinner
Moderately priced and service is good. However can be lacking on some nights. Depending on how much staff they have on
The food is good, try the venison, it’s devine! -

My wife and I have dined here a number of times this year and have recommended Zicos to friends and family. It’s not a large restaurant but cozy and full of character. The dishes we have eaten have been superb and, on a couple of occasions, have even been altered to suit specific tastes.
I have to recommend two meals especially – the cannelloni and the seafood risotto are incredibly flavoursome and rich. Generous portions too. Try them!
A great selection of reds too, fairly priced, in keeping with other restaurants around town. Check out the wine rack behind the bar. I’m seriously considering having a whole wall book shelf built into our lounge along the same design.
Zico is our favourite little Italian restaurant. We’ll be going back soon!
