Zannotti's Wine Bar

We sat outside on their street-side patio. Our server would disappear for quite a while, but another server checked on us eventually. We had the half order of duck nachos and it was a big portion for 2 people and delicious. The weather was perfect, and the Sonoma Water made for a nice pairing.

Cute and cozy restaurant/bar. Inside and outdoor dining that serves small, delicious, and great for sharing. My dinner companions were surprised there was not a better wine list, and the service was just ok; but to be fair, I think he was new. For the sports enthusiasts, there were TVs, and we were able to watch the Thunder. Also, there was live music. I would definitely go back!

I want to start by saying the food is very good. I’ve been a few times now and I’ve always enjoyed the food. The salmon and tzatziki crostinis are delicious and have become a favorite. The drinks I have had there have also been good, so not disappointed there. However, that being said, the service is not good. Two of us came in yesterday, Wednesday, at about 6:30. It wasn’t super busy, a few people inside and a few outside. It took a minute for one waiter to come to the table with water, and even longer for a different waiter to come back to take our food and drink order. A third waiter delivered our food, noted that we needed plates and silverware, then hurried off. We never received plates or silverware and when the first waiter finally came back, after we were done with our food, I asked for napkins. He brought back one napkin while there were two of us sitting there. Overall, a bit of a disappointing experience as the great food was overshadowed by poor service. I would also note that the women’s bathroom was completely out of toilet paper. There’s spots for two rolls of toilet paper, and there was none.

We brought our out-of-town parents to Zannotti’s after really enjoying our first time there, but this visit fell short. Our drink order was completely lost, the food came after, but still no drinks. The waitress seemed inexperienced and didn’t notice. The manager apologized and kindly offered to comp one entree, which we appreciated. The food and atmosphere were great, but here’s the issue: they never actually removed the entree from the bill. Since they brought the credit card machine without an itemized receipt, we didn’t catch it until days later. We were understanding about the initial mistake, but not following through on the promised fix, and making it hard to verify, was disappointing and felt dishonest.

We love coming here and the food is always great. It’s a treasure for my gluten free husband to have fun options to choose from. Also my son loves their berry smash mocktail!! Sometimes the service can be slow but I have been there when the wait staff had more than two people and you feel well taken care of. That would be my only complaint but honestly being short staffed isn’t a reflection of the care of the people who do work there. Definitely worth checking out

Listen…you know why you go here. It’s either a date or you are introducing your other half to your folks….either way, this is the place to go. Relax, enjoy the nice weather on the patio, ignore that one person walking across the street you just….you know….and please order one of the amazing desserts they offer!!! You will my be disappointed.

Stopped in for a quick drink and loved the experience!! The staff was super friendly and multiple people welcomed me in as soon as I got through the door. The staff all had friendly smiles and took the time to engage me in light conversation throughout my visit. Great atmosphere, Great service!!

I was really excited to go back to Zannotti's last night since I hadn't been to Stillwater in a while. When we arrived there was no sign that said either "seat yourself/wait to be seated" so we waited. One of the waitresses eventually said "oh, you can take that booth back there". We were sat for two minutes and the band was SO LOUD that we couldn't stand it. (I worked at a bar playing music for years so I know what loud sounds like.) This was LOUD. We got up and left. I love the live music at Zannotti's and the music was good! Just so loud that I couldn't think, let alone have a conversation with the folks at my table.
