Zeffirelli's is a cozy Italian restaurant located in Herndon, VA that offers authentic Italian cuisine with impeccable service. The menu features classic pasta dishes, delectable seafood, and delightful desserts. While some found the prices a bit high, others praised the reasonable prices for the quality and quantity of food. The atmosphere was a bit loud for some, but others enjoyed the quieter balcony seating upstairs. Service was generally good, with a few exceptions noted on particularly busy evenings. Overall, Zeffirelli's seems to be a hit for those looking for a traditional Italian dining experience in the area.
