Fluying ✅July 8, 2016The mushroom flat bread is delicious. Served with 3 kinds o cheese and truffle oil, it almost made me cry of happiness when it arrived to my table.
I love Zelo's pasta entrees. I ordered homemade ravioli. It came in two sizes - 4 or 6 huge pieces drenched in a fresh and tasty tomato sauce. I ordered 4 pieces and that was nearly too much to eat.Upvoted Dec 31, 2024
Louis Brinkman JrMay 5, 2013Visit the bar for fast and accurate service. They call you by your first name, and extremely friendly to people who dine at the bar. This native from Chicago would definitely visit this place again
Nate SFebruary 28, 2020Completely blown away by the service! So impressed. Came here for a birthday dinner and we're still talking about how good it was days later. Excellent cocktails too.
Jason LukSeptember 3, 2015This will be the first time I ever say to save room for the bread! Not sure if they make it but it's so fresh and melts the butter just right!- Jason DouglasJuly 18, 2012Make sure to get the Lamb Meatballs and the Ahi Tuna Crisps to start. Best Ahi Tuna I have ever tasted! ALso, the home made lasagna is the best I have ever had. Zelo is among my top 5 now!
Kaiva Lacis-HuffMarch 27, 2015Everything was first class, including our personable server, Jeff. Grapefruit martinis and dirty martinis were excellent, as was our food--the lasagna, and the pork chop. Loved the bread, too.
Stacie ScarfApril 28, 2018The staff is beyond nice here. This is a great spot to get a glass of wine with friends or a great date spot.
Cole KennedySeptember 21, 2015That tortiglioni rossa is the real deal. Nice bone-sticking Italian meal. Get it (and get wine too, duh).
- Arielle LenoxJuly 5, 2018Delicious Italian centrally located on Nicollet Mall. Great group spot for both inside and outside seating
AnnaMarch 1, 2015Ezra, the restaurant manager, is the best. Service is incredible, happy hour is legit (Moscow mules), and their tuna crisps are to die for.
Marty O.December 31, 2023Decent wine list. Tortiglione, blue salad, margarita pizza, meatball starter, chocolate torte dessert, cappuccino. Dinner for 2
Jody WasbroOctober 12, 2018We sat in the bar side. It was perfect for a casual work dinner. Great food and service.- Terra HoldridgeSeptember 2, 2015Wow! Amazing food and service! The tenderloin sandwich is to die for! Creme Brûlée and molten lava cake are awesome.
So great to have Zelo back. One of the best restaurants in the Twin Cities. Love this place.
Monika McMahonDecember 20, 2013Staying at the Foshay W hotel? Come here for a drink! Late night happy hour at the bar is perfect for a snowy night.- Super quick prep and delicious fettuccine with chicken. The bread was also top notch.
One of my favorite restaurants in Mpls. Parmesan Shrimp = amazing, as is Filet Sandwich, Ciao Baby w/ chicken or salmon or Lo Carb Chopped Salad. Yum on pretty much anything you order.
nicole c.September 28, 2012The brussel sprout mash is excellent! Also the Parmesan crusted shrimp is delicious.
Andrew ClarkSeptember 12, 2013The mussels really hit the spot and the deconstructed tirimasu was unbelievable- Sherria StolcersOctober 12, 2013Love the Prairie Pineapple... stoli doli rip off that is totally just as awesome!!
Christina BaumbergerApril 12, 2012Grain salad? Amazing. Parmesan Shrimp App? Amazing. Service? Yes, you've guessed it- Amazing!
Darius MirandaJuly 28, 2012Great food. Awesome people watching. Great staff--esp Jessica. Thank you!
Evan WondrasekMarch 28, 2010The Walleye Milanese has an amazing breading. Gelato is a great dessert: less than $4, 3 flavors and great to share with a date.
- Angelica CerdeiraAugust 23, 2011Great food! Shrimp starter, grains salad and chiken pasta were perfect!
Joakim JardenbergJuly 20, 2013Wifi pw is zelo7000 and it works like a charm. Another reason to go here!
Vince FerrariJuly 31, 2011The Ahi Tuna is great if you are a sushi lover. The potatoes make it perfect.

"Shepherd's pie was really great, with ground lamb and beef. Also nice cider and wine options for the non-beer drinkers. The outdoor patio is the way to go in summer."
