La Zana Ristorante

Former North Shore local restaurant of the year and still a local favourite, La Zana is often full midweek as well as weekends. Patrons are a mix of families & couples. Bookings are usually required.

Simply the best Italian restaurant in the area, La Zana consistently dishes up perfectly cooked pasta, a good range of freshly baked pizzas and supplements this staple fare with a varied 'primi' & 'secondi' menu that incorporates both traditional antipasti and veal dishes, as well as an appealing range of seafood dishes. The seafood hotpot in particular is one to try.

I can recommend the tagliatelle boscaiola - perfect fresh pasta in a creamy sauce with bacon that avoids being too rich.

Serving size is relatively large, so if you are a dessert nut, you'll need to miss out on the starter.

The other dish ordered was Tagliatelle La Zana which was also a great feed and a good blend of chicken & avocado in a white sauce.

Service was polite and friendly.
