I went to La Zeppa last night for dinner with some friends and loved it. We ordered quite a large selection of their tapas. Delicious. The chicken croquettes and the meatballs were my favourite. Service and food timing were great and the atmosphere of the site was really nice. Love the lighting style they have and large selections of wine. I recommend checking this place out.

A group of us recently went to La Zeppa,
Very disappointing.
We all left hungry and sober after spending a lot of money.
The wine might be nice but the pours are small.

The meatballs had a nice smokey tomato sauce but the meatballs themselves were dry and bland.
The rare beef tasted nice, but there were only 3 slices of beef.
The pork belly although tender was barely cooked/warm – no crackle just soggy/fatty on top.
For the price of each dish the servings were not adequate.

Someone said afterwards that the menu has changed recently down to a ‘bar menu’.
None of us will go back again, the food isnt up to standard and its overpriced.

Turned up at La Zeppa aiming to meet there with a group of friends on Sunday early evening at about 5pm and it was not open ! Took a while to sort somewhere else to go and text everyone a new venue – so I won’t go there again.
La Zeppa need to urgently change their details on this web site.

Good tapas, plenty of choice and good atmosphere. Busy on Fridays but better alternative to Britomart for a bar. Can’t wait to go back and try the new bars in the area opening along Drake St as this is one of my favorite areas of the city.

I’ve been here a couple of times now and can say that the staff don’t give good or friendly service.

Not to mention the first time I was there someone tried to steal my jacket and when I approached the staff to inform them about the instance they couldn’t care less and said “Were not your wardrobe manager…be more careful”.

The food we had was delicious though, so we’d go back aware that it is what it is service and attitude wise.

Not sure what everyone’s so excited about. Had to wait heaps of time before an unfriendly hostess came up, and when I ordered one dish no entrees (that was lunch), she smirked… Later on after a humiliatingly small portion of what I had expected to be my lunch, I had to wait another 10 minutes to receive some attention re paying the bill. Might as well have left without paying at all. Took the bartender 2 minutes to figure out that I wanted to pay for the meal, not buy one… Well, I’m not coming back for sure.

No aesthetic pleasure of being there either, everything including the staff looked dodgy, the interior – bland, I see what effect they were going for, but what’s the point of the lavish corner with all leather seats and such, if the rest of the bar looks like a cheap hole?

One word – WOW!

Went here with my partner for our anniversary. The setting couldn’t be more perfect. Right by the fire, dim lighting and great music.
The wine took about 10 minutes to come out after we ordered but the wait was worth it. A great selection!
Food was incredible. Had the feta ball, rissotto, duck and blue cheese and crispy prawns. Then to top it off shared a affogato and brownies. Worth every penny and am looking forward to coming back!

Dined here last Friday night. Great food – my favourites were the prunes, the “cold” tuna and the mushroom salad. The waitress was very efficient (although a smile would have made the evening perfect). The bar was busy (being a Friday night) – great for a group but wouldn’t have been the best place for a romantic dinner for two.

Went to this restaurant last night with friends. Food was amazing, the best tapas EVER! My favourite was the kumara gnocchi with red oion, chorizo and spinach. Itwas absolutely delicious! The smokey short lamb ribs were yummy too. The service was excellent too, will definately be returning!

worth every cent. I would highly recommend to everyone. great food and service.
