ZZ & Simone's is an Italian restaurant in the Five Points neighborhood of Athens.
“We arrived around at 6:35 pm on Monday in June and it was busy. I shared the rigatoni with vodka sauce and Italian sausage with my daughter, and it was delicious! We had the focaccia with whipped ricotta app, and it was not quite as good as I expected. It could have had a little more flavor and the the focaccia wasn’t crisp around the edges like it should be when fresh. My husband had a pizza with pepperoni and sausage and it was good. The crust was excellent. Cocktails were great too! A little pricey but you get what you pay for and it was excellent! Will definitely be back when I’m in Athens.”
“Outstanding brunch for $17 a person. The polenta was phenomenal which you can get on the ZZ breakfast plate. My boys loved the cinnamon roll focaccia and the potato latkes were a big hit as well for appetizers. Love the latkes with the sour cream. So well done. The crispy potatoes were enjoyed by all as they have a really crispy outside with super tender inside. Again- did I mention the polenta? You can make reservations and I’d recommend it.”
“It doesn’t get any better than ZZ’s. We live in Marietta and consistently drive over for dinner on a whim. The service, ambience, and FOOD are second to none. Special thanks to the team for always going above and beyond to make us feel like family and for always delivering an exceptional experience. I can’t wait to be back soon!”
“We went to ZZ and Simone’s for brunch and it was fabulous! I have been for dinner many times and had high expectations for brunch, and they were exceeded. I love the atmosphere and the servers are always very friendly and attentive. The cinnamon roll was SO GOOD. Different than anything I have ever had. The latkes were also very good- perfect amount of crispness and so good with the sour cream. For my main course I had the eggs Benedict which was delicious on the focaccia bread (which the bread is a must for dinner time). Overall amazing and well done restaurant.”
“Came here to celebrate my nephew’s 4th birthday party and the staff went above and beyond for us! Food was delicious and the service was exceptional! Will be celebrating more special occasions here for sure. Special shout out to the manager Kristen for making my family feel like her family!”
