Zambri’s - Victoria, British Columbia

Lovely atmosphere ~ so warm and cozy. Our server ( I think her name was Shelby but, I apologize if that's incorrect) was very friendly and attentive. She was great! I loved my Spaghetti Aglio Olio Peperoncino and our niece loved her meat lasagna. My husband and I did not love the ... Tagliatelle with meat sauce, though. We both thought that the sauce was too sweet. The noodles were perfectly cooked but, the sweetness of the sauce was off-putting. The Caesar salad was tasty but we would have enjoyed more dressing on it. Overall, a nice dining experience. I would come back for the spaghetti. Read more

My husband and I always have Zambri's on our list of places to eat for a special occasion. The staff are very knowledgable and warm. They know all the ingredients in every single dish. Their ability to make suggestions that will elevate your dining experience is exceptional. The restaurant itself is very ... well laid out and tasteful. The floor to ceiling windows lets the natural flood in and gives for good people watching in the later evening. If you are sat in the atrium, it gives a different more contemporary dining experience. All areas of the restaurant are very comfortable to dine in. Food, of course! It is well portioned quality food. Everything just melts in your mouth. Someone at our table always has to order the lasagna! It is so well made. You cannot be disappointed by anything on the menu here! Read more

What a treat! Quinn took care of us and she was just lovely. Wine was great and food was even better. The passion pannacotta took my breath away. Music and vibe are perfect. Definitely worth a try, especially if you like pasta!

My recent dining experience at Zambri's was a delightful journey of shared flavours among family and friends. Exploring a variety of dishes was a highlight, and among the options, the pork tenderloin and the broccoli appetizers left a lasting impression. The tenderloin's succulence and the appetizers' flavourful blend truly stood ... out, earning my heartfelt recommendation. While the service at Zambri's was undoubtedly attentive, and incredibly quick service I couldn't help but notice a slight inclination toward a more formal and robotic demeanor. As someone who appreciates a warmer and more personalized touch, this aspect left me yearning for a more genuine connection. Read more

This restaurant has good food, but it is not worth the price as the portion sizes are small. The Food: The food is quite good. However, due to the small portion sizes, we ordered a pizza to share among three people, and we all ordered main courses and desserts. I feel that I ... need to be a little bit more harsh on the food. Because the prices are pretty high, When I went there, I ordered the special pasta of the day, which came with no meat or vegetables, just a cheese sauce and noodles for 30.00. When you compare this to similar restaurants in the fine dining around Victoria, it leaves something to be desired: either the price needs to be corrected, or protein needs to be added as an option. There is also no free bread which at these prices is a huge disappointment. We ended up paying $5 for 3 slices of their bread. At this point, I would opt to go to a different Italian restaurant within the Victoria area based on pricing and fortune sizes. However, if you have never been to this restaurant, it is worth a visit at least once. The food is small is still very small. I would recommend ordering one of their base menu items and not a special menu item. My fiance ordered the lasagna, which was reasonably sized. For the desserts, we ordered the Tiramisu, which is by far the best I've ever had! Atmosphere/ Service. The atmosphere is one of the top reasons to go to the restaurant. We went to sit on the inside patio within the atrium building, which was a very unique and fun experience. The service was excellent, as you would expect at a fine-dining restaurant. It is also easy to get same-day reservations, a massive plus for a fine dining restaurant within Victoria on a weekend. Read more
