I ordered the carbonara pasta and breadsticks and the food was hot and flavorful. The carbonara is not super traditional, but it was really tasty. I believe it has cream in it, which is not the traditional way to cook it. That being said, it was tasty. Two sauces came with the breadsticks and the lighter colored sauce was way better and tasted somewhat of Pesto, whereas the other sauce was too sweet and some kind of marinara. I ordered door dash, so I can't speak to the in-person experience, but I enjoyed the food.
Service was great! I wish the restaurant was a bit larger and had more seating. They had an amazing deal for restaurant week- appetizer, entree, and dessert for $24! I had the French onion soup, made my own pizza, and had chocolate cake. Drinks were delicious too!
I was invited to Za's on Devine part of a event. They have a parking lot in front of their restaurant. But if you cannot find parking there is also parking on the side streets. When I went in I told the hostess that we were part of the event. She then showed us where to go. There was a private room to the left of the restaurant. We then sat down at a table the waitress came right over and told us that we could go up for food shortly the staff was going to be putting out the food on along a long table. The staff was very polite to us and asked us if we needed anything to let them know. I could only comment on this in this review on what was offered to us from this event. They had a unlimited Pizza Buffet cookies and brownies and salad also they had pasta, sweet tea and water. We weren't able to order off the menu. But these items that were offered for this event we were told that they do have them on the menu as well as other things that weren't offered. I started off with the salad it was not bad at all it was fresh and tasted delicious. After moving on from that I moved on to the pizza it was also very delicious and unique with different types of toppings that they offered on it tasted very delicious as well as homemade. They also had dessert chocolate chip cookies they were a perfect touch. I am going to have to come back to this place and try their regular menu since there event that we had there was so good.
I enjoyed it after a glitch for seating. When I got there, there was no one seating anyone from the hostess stand. The line grew to 10 people patiently waiting for someone to take us to a table. The restaurant had only 6 people seated in the whole place, the rest of the tables were empty. Someone was asleep at the wheel - so to say. Bad way to start. My server was excellent, attentive, easy to find. The food had good variety and was tasty too.
The food was good but they forgot some toppings. The service was just ok. I think it could be better, but they were a little slow with getting over to our to us. The ambiance is really nice. This would be the perfect place to have a date night or family dinner.
This was my first time visiting years since before the pandemic. This had always been a favorite spot 9f mine and my coworkers for happy hours and after work special occasions. Today me and 3 other coworkers visited for lunch and we immediately remembered why we love this place. Great service, great food choices and great food and the Playlist today was amazing! We are already planning on coming back for lunch and hopefully happhappy hours again. Highly recommend this spot!

Za's has been around Columbia since the end of the last century, and the fact that it's still operating says good things. And there are a lot of good things here starting with the people who work here. We showed up one recent evening with a couple of handicapped people as our guests. Rendell could not have treated any of us with any greater dignity and courtesy; he was a gem in getting us seated conveniently and quickly. And he made sure our server Collette was every bit as kind and helpful. We are much appreciative. Za's has always been fun to some degree because it has a lot of shaded outside seating (and dogs are welcome). But it also has a good beer and wine list and some good food including lots of varieties of brick-oven pizzas. Yum. We especially loved the charred okra, spinach and artichoke dip, the hummus and a couple of the aforementioned pizzas. We came away very happy. Really the only downside seems to be the lack of parking given the small lot and businesses in the area. If you drop by please say hello to Rendell.
