Zucchini Pasta Bar Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The whole experience was AMAZING!! We made our own pasta from scratch and the chefs put the finishing touches so we could enjoy them!"
• "The food was very tasty and filling. Excellent value for money."
• "All of the pasta we made was cooked into 4 delicious dishes all of large portion size including truffle cream sauce and a beef ragu which was impeccable."
• "The quality high and the portion sizes generous for the price."
• "The best garlic bread in town lives here!! The beef shin pasta was tasty and rich."
• "The food is really good and tasty! I had the pappardelle with beef and it was very flavourful."
• "The pasta is very sub par but good value for money."
• "Pasta dishes are anywhere between £6.50 – £10 and they have gluten free and vegan friendly pasta available too."

Cons:

• "The potatoes were good but the main and dessert were mid."
• "The zucchini shoestrings (the dish I wanted to try the most) was a bit of a let down, as they were extremely, but extremely salty."
• "Tried to broach the subject (which I had to psych myself up to do as I *hate* to complain) and was told that the below was a normal portion. I’m hardly a glutton but for £9.50 I’d like a bit more, you know?"
• "I ordered ravioli pasta and vegan meal, both were extremely delicious. There were quite many options for vegetarians/ vegans."
• "Food had no flavour, the carbonara tasted of water, the mushroom pasta dish tasted like bin juice smells!"
• "The menu looked great promising a pack of flavour but the product was a small pile of gloop. I ordered mussels, garlic and zucchini pasta. A small flat plate arrived with a dollop of incredibly garlicky pasta and miniscule bits of chopped up mussels, totally overwhelmed by the pasta."
• "I ordered the ravioli and it wasn't good. The pasta was rolled out too thick, filling didn't have much flavour, and worst of all, the oil where the peppers were cooked did not taste like extra-virgin olive oil."
• "Rude staff, poor service and rubbish food, I’ve had better food in a Turkish prison!!"

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "Liam was the perfect host. He explained everything so well, was patient with us when we were messing up and the highlight of my day was when he gave me a big block of Parmesan."
• "Our server Phil was great, he made us a few pitchers of popular cocktails while we decided on food then kept the drinks flowing for our time slot."
• "Philip was a brilliant waiter who even let us make one of our cocktails!"
• "The service was excellent and friendly."
• "I was not sure what to order as it is my first time."
• "The food (we had the sharing platter two) was beautiful and we couldn't even fit another morsel in."
• "The staff were amazing, very welcoming and friendly especially Liam who went above and beyond to make it a fantastic experience."
• "Great staff, great tasting food."

Cons:

• "The atmosphere was very noisy and echoing."
• "Service was a little slow but it was restaurant week so it's understandable."
• "Only negative would be how insanely cold it was in here - was shivering and wearing a full coat by the end of our brunch."
• "The manager called us pissheads when taking our first drink orders and called us 'mate' when we enquired about the food."
• "I ordered for 2 different vegetarian pastas, they were bland. I also ordered a litre of peach mocktail(which I would rate 2 out of 10)."
• "When gently challenged for this idiosyncratic interpretation of the ‘starter-main-dessert’ sequence the waiter apologised (for what I’m not sure) and informed us that ‘yes, well, everyone’s different’."
• "Service was slow and a bit unattentive. Book for 3.45pm not served food until 4.45pm and told we have to leave by 5.15pm."
• "They serve pasta which is okay..not so good at least for Indians who like to have lot of spices in food."

Ambiance and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The food was well priced for portion size and the atmosphere was night on a quiet Friday afternoon."
• "The atmosphere was so great, beautifully laid out and free to be as loud as we wanted!"

• "The restaurant is modern and minimalist with hard chairs."
• "There was a lovely atmosphere, friendly helpful staff and all the food and Prosecco were amazing."
• "It's a cute wee pasta place. My only dislike is that the drinks are served with pasta straws so if you don't like them, just ask the waiters for a normal one."
• "A pleasant, friendly and contemporary pasta restaurant."
• "This place Zucchini should pop up in your head."

Cons:

• "Getting to the building was a little difficult as there are road works on the main road so take the underground passage if you visit."
• "Quite a nice place, bit off the beaten track as just outside the city centre, so there was lots of space as not that many visitors when we went!"
• "My partner did enjoy it though so an extra star for that."
• "The atmosphere was very noisy and echoing."
• "The service was a mixed bag."
• "Firstly I have to say the food is absolutely amazing 👏 best Italian I've ever had. Cinnamon and chocolate dip wow wow wow highly recommended."
