Best duck ragu ever! Squid ink seafood pasta also delicious. Our server Katie, was knowledgable, and attentive. Chef John is truly inspired. The restaurant is beautiful. Seating comfortable. No one in a hurry to turn over the table, encouraging guests to savor every delicious morsel. The local Stryker family, producing terrific wines in California.

Excellent food and nice service. Everything we had was delicious, and the wine list is interesting and reasonable. The restaurant was much better than the hotel in which it is housed.

Selected Zazios based on TripAdvisor rating 2 of 115 restuarants in Kalamazoo. Three of us dined. While the cocktails were fair at best, the service was excellent (informed, knowledgable, well paced and professional), the food was tasty, served hot (nice) and nicely presented. Sea Scallops, bolognese and polenta with mushrooms all excellent. Especially liked the 1/2 order options as we... More

We were able to participate in the hotels "Chefs Table" and it was fantastic!. The hotel Executive chef prepared a 3 course lunch for us in the "cooking theater" while 24 of us were seated in front of him, and a large TV screen was over head which allowed you to view his work that you couldn't see. He did... More

The staff is fast and friendly, the food is good if a little rich, and they have a nice wine choice. What more do you need? I can't say that it was the best meal I ever had but it was a lot better than I was expecting out of a hotel restaurant. The veal pasta I had was very... More

We went here for our anniversary and we really enjoyed. So much so we are going back in April for a cooking lesson. They have a chef's table I would really like to try too. It's in the hotel but it's not hotel food.

I stopped in Kalamazoo overnight on a business trip. I saw this place on trip advisor. The ranking is right on! From the moment I walked in until the moment I left I got great service. I had the duck, outstanding! Nice chat with one of the staff members. Price was a little high, but it's by design. Overall, a... More

We celebrated my husbands birthday dinner recently at Zazio's Italian restaurant in the main dining room. It lived up completely to all the great recommendations. The menu has many wonderful selections I would like to try. The cocktail list is extensive and typically priced for same. We sat close to the kitchen so saw all the food going by our... More

The food is always so good here. They very kindly make special items like fresh marinara or food adjustments when requested. Tried all of the pastas over time and they are winners. The service has, at times, been frenetic and too chatty, but I think they have changed and do a smoother, less talking in your face service. We did... More
