Delicious Italian-style restaurant with an impressive wine selection. I particularly enjoyed the bar side, offering a distinct atmosphere compared to the main dining area. If possible, make sure to reserve a table at Brittany K.’s section. She provides exceptional, friendly service, is prompt, has a keen eye for detail, and makes you feel right at home.

Shrimp Scampi over spaghetti pasta and lemon cilantro walleye fresh from Red Lake were delicious! Hattie, our server, was pleasant and responsive. Noise level was a little louder than expected.

Homemade pasta cooked to perfection, warm fluffy bread, and delicious desserts! I got the herb linguini primavera, pumpkin butter cake, and crème brûlée for dessert! Neat architecture in the building as well.

Zelo is absolutely worth it. If you’re looking to book for a special occasion, I would recommend it. The service is better than anywhere I’ve ever been, and the food portions are WAY better than seen in pictures. It was so delicious, too. I recommend their Crab Cakes. 100% worth the price. We had the spaghetti and meatballs, Tortiglioni Rossa and the Budino for dessert Didi was the most wonderful server and did a fantastic job all night. Full of life, great recommendations and she made us feel special the whole time!

Very good customer service. We made reservations, was greeted warmly when we arrived and directly seated. Wait staff was very friendly, attentive and polite. Wild rice soup is amazing! Steak and fontina potato frico was amazing. One of my companions had the classic lasagna which she loved and shared. They have a variety of dessert options we tried four and we impressed with each of them.
