Additional information for Zuccato
Located in the 02 leisure complex, Zuccato has all the confidence of a long-time success. The style is very modern, but it has taken its inspiration from the 1950's film La Dolce Vita with enormous still photographs of Sixties Milan lining the main wall of the restaurant. There are miles of black leather banquettes, and a series of very convivial semi-circular booths. The bar area, too, is very slick - overall this is the perfect backdrop to every stylish gathering. The terrific Italian menu is entirely home-made, even the ketchup for the patate fritte is home-made. What's cooking? The flavour is Italian/Mediterranean - dishes range from pizzas and salads to meat and fish main courses. Try starter of bruschetta (toasted ciabatta with roasted sweet peppers, red onions and tiger prawns), main of Spaghetti alla Carbonara di Zuccato, or one of the terrific pizzas, then one of the great selection of ice creams and sorbets - all home-made.

Best pizzas in NW London by far & only £2.70 for a pint of Perroni - Bargain.

Lovely evening at Zuccato; food was lovely and very reasonably priced. Perfect location for anyone who wants to use the cinema facility.

Zuccato is great for a bite before the cinema, which was the purpose of this visit with my mum. The staff are a little pre-occupied with each other at times and you can find yourself trying hard to catch their eye to ask for the bill, again.
But the place has a fun atmosphere, the food is perfectly fine and the menu varied. Its not fine dining but its good, clean and local. I will be going there again.

Zucatto at the o2 leisure centre on the FInchley Road should be good. It is on top of a cinema complex so has lots of potential customers. We have eaten there many times over the years and it never gets better, in fact it may be worse... The service was good as if you tell them you are in a hurry they really get to it. Have not been there for a while and probably will not go back.

Zucatto is a handy neighbourhood restaurant that is pretty dependable - especially if you are going to the cinema. We had prawns in garlic - would have been nice apart from corn flour added to sauce. Breaded chicken escalope with pasta and avocado salad were delicious.Service was ok - although had to ask for a plate 3 times. Manageress was charming

Nice restaurant, good food. Desserts can be hit or miss

Went with my girlfriend to celebrate her birthday along with her friends and family. The staff seemed friendly enough, and we received a great service, despite our large group. The food tasted good (although my grilled chicken contained more bone than chicken), especially the deserts (fudge cake and cheescake), its in a great location and the ambience is perfect. Will definately be going back soon.

Excellent pizzas, veal dish was superb for the money

JM reviewed Zuccato on 01/11/2008

Zuccato was excellent for a group of 7 friends catching up - the food is italian and is cooked fresh and you can taste that fact. The menu is vast and has a great selection for vegetarians as well. The location in the O2 means that it is ideal as a pre or post movie dinner. Service is slow but that is due to food being cooked fresh so just don't expect fast food and you will be pleasantly surprised.

I have been to Zuccato before and been very satisfied with the meal. However this time although my friends meals were fine I was disappointed in mine. There was no sign of Celeriac in the mash and the Cod was tough.
