We were a group of five for lunch. Of course, our salads were delicious and very generous! The service was also wonderful. Our server Eric was friendly, professional, and accommodated all our specific requests about our salads. He checked on us regularly making sure we had everything we needed. He brought our coffees and our check promptly. We stayed a long time chatting - reunion of old friends- and had a lovely experience.

I took my wife out for date night recently and we went to Zeffirelli. I read great reviews so decided to try it. Service was phenomenal. Not much waiting and there was a certain amount of attention that our host gave us that made our time memorable. We had the Caesar salad and Calamari & Zucchini to start. Loved them both. I enjoyed the size of the calamari. My wife had Ravioli and I had the Pollo alla Romana. Both dishes were great and filling. The restaurant gives off a real authentic vibe and is romantic. Perfect location for a date. I look forward to going back.

Like most restaurants these days, Anatolian was understaffed so the service was not great. But they tried to be prompt and we appreciated their effort.
