Zonzo Restaurant

I absolutely love this place. The food was great, the waitress was super fun, vibrant, and knowledgeable. Zonzo has the "it" factor. Great vibe, music, ambiance, food, staff, etc. It's one of the only places I've been in the world where I'd happily spend all day relaxing. P.s. It's not on the menu, but if you ask nicely they might put together the best olive oil/balsamic vinegar/herb dipping bowl you've ever had with their bread. It's the best I've ever had.

Very cute, local Italian restaurant near Paddington Station in London. I started with the meatballs as an appetizer. They were fantastic - perfectly cooked and accompanied with delicious red marinara sauce that complimented them. The linguini with clams and shrimp was a bit confusing. It was supposed to come with linguini, but it came with spaghetti, which was fine. Also, they bake this dish to finish it, which kind of dries it out but the flavors in the dish, to spite its slight dryness, were very nice. I ended with the lava cake and ice cream along with Sambuca. HUGE points for them putting an odd number of coffee beans in the Sambuca (for good luck). Overall - I will definitely come back.

- Beautiful decor, totally transported to a different place compared to the street - Very lovely staff team, especially Sam gave lovely conversation - Food was delicious too, very generous portion sizes and halal
