zappitelli's

big portions,. very very inexpensive for the portions you get! i can get 3 left over dinners from the pasta dinners which definitely makes the trip to zapitelli's worth it. thebreadthey serve with dinner is usually something like sandwhich buns, not good italian bread, and they have less than stellar, if any, appetizers. we only get carry out from this zapitelli's location though because we've had to walk out of the front lobby after standing at the front counter for 10+ minutes without being seated (never acknowleged, welcomed, or asked if we've been helped.) we prefer the painesville location much better, they have most of this same menu and more, and the service is great.

usually great, but very disappointed on valentine's day.. normally, zappitelli's has amazing food and service. my fiancee and i got take out for valentine's day and when began eating at home, our order was not correct and thebreadthey gave us was cold and wet! we were so extremely disappointed. why wouldbreadbe cold and wet (thebreadwas all soggy, like someone saturated the bottom with water) when there was nothing cold in our bag and thebreadwas wrapped in plastic wrap? we should have prepared ourselves, because when we called the person who took order seemed like he wasn't really paying attention, and his phone etiquette was not very good. then, when we picked up the food the restaurant was crowded (since it was valentine's day) and severely under staffed. it will be a while before we attempt carry out again. hopefully this will be the last bad experience we have. it was such a shock because normally the service and food is superb.
