Best WLM Reviews

What a great place. Visiting town and man oh man we are so glad we found this gem. Told to us by our waitress Judy still makes the pasta by hand with her daughter in law. The food was outstanding. I had the ricotta pasta with sausage. Sausage so good!! The stuffed mushrooms were amazing, meatballs were light and fluffy. Tiramisu was excellent. Service was really good. Nothing was rushed and we enjoyed every second of it. Hand leftovers and was super happy to feel like I was having a second amazing meal today for lunch!
The food was great, atmosphere eclectic and fun. But the jewel was the owner and family. We visited because the online menu said they had baked Alaska, which my date had never had before. But when I asked, they said they no longer offer it. But THEN, the owner said, Hold on, let me call my mom. Mom apparently tells him how to make it over the phone, and by the end of our meal, they just roll out an enormous, delicious baked Alaska, which they set on fire at the table. Kudos. Well done, fam.
From the moment you walk in, you are instantly immersed into an old Italian family dining atmosphere. It's unique, and your eyes gravitate to the surroundings.
We had a fantastic experience at Zarra's, and it's been on my wish list for a while now. The service was great! I absolutely loved Judy's Homemade Ricotta Noodles as my meal. You could tell it was authentic Italian. My family shared the Baked Alaska, which is something not on the menu, so you need to ask for it. It's huge, so it's definitely shareable. Will be back for sure!
This place is AMAZING, with an intriguing history to boot! A true hidden gem with outstanding food! The interior is one of the best I've seen. If you love an eclectic curiosities/antique/flea market aesthetic, then you'll truly dig this place. Two great things that go great together, character and delicious food!
Let this review serve as a heads up to those searching that are not familiar with the area. I knew better than to enter this restaurant after showing up and the place was a ghost town at 6:30 on a Saturday night. All the red flags were there, I ignored them and that was my fault. The restaurant picked up a bit after about an hour which was promising, and the app were served at a decent amount of time. Bread came to the table but dips promised where missing and showed up later after bread was gone. The reality of what I already knew came to a reality when I noticed others being served out of order of their arrival. After an almost two hour wait for entrees the food came out fridge cold. The quirky and weird decor got me in the door being from out of town and looking only online but ended up being a reminder of a good lesson, if the place is empty go somewhere else, there is a reason.
I must say, we stumble across a good find every once in a while. The people were over the top wonderful. The homemade Italian food was beyond what I expected and I like the decor and the history of this place. I'd highly recommend and I will go there again.
This was our first visit here. This place was absolutely amazing! We loved the atmosphere and the food was delicious ! Real authentic Italian cuisine! I had the Pollo Romano …..pictured below…..Oh and the bread was thick and plenty ! The Staff was very friendly. We’ll definitely be back!
Not a fan. Im a glass half full person and have only ever written good review up until this review. We had a reservation for 10+ people and they made us wait 2 hours for food despite knowing a large group was coming. Food was cold and ingredients not fresh but expensive. Automatic 33% tip included for the most mediocre service. They charged me 60$ for my 30$ meal and the owner insured me I would get refunded but I never did. The only good thing was how cool the decor was.
