Came here after watching ""Amelie"" one evening and it was just the right exclamation point to a great, whimsical film. Again and again, I believe Mr. Z's strengths lie in the specials. I have had a variety of their ravioli specials and they never diappoint. Robust, flavorful sauces, and chewy subtle pasta shells... it's all good! Some of their main entrees come up a bit short (Pomodoro, Lasagne Bolognese, Conchiglie dish) on authentic taste but the one noteworthy-- Penne Con Salsiccia is a can't lose. Bread and salads are fresh, but the wine list is a bit bare. Opt for an Italian beer.
Pros: great for movie nite, nice locale, Mr Z is a great host
Cons: need better waiters, dessert menu sparse, need better wine list
