Zooma Bar Ristorante Restaurant Review

: Zooma consists of two distinct spaces: a cacophonous bar area and a comparatively placid dining room in the rear---open, high-ceilinged and decorated with a fresco based on Giulio Romano’s “Fall of the Giants.” Seated at the chef’s table overlooking the exhibition kitchen, you’ll be welcomed with rosemary-scented focaccia. Trattoria-size portions encourage you to share multiple courses, starting, say, with house-brined olives or calamari sautéed with white vinegar and chunks of roasted garlic. A wide selection of moderately priced pastas include gnocchi a la nonni with sautéed eggplant, fresh mozzarella and house-made marinara; and our favorite, the oblong, generously filled fresh lobster ravioli served in a light tomato sauce with a dash of lemon zest. In fact, nothing disappoints; from Mama Cardi’s meatballs to swordfish served over golden beets, you’ll be glad you asked, “What’s in a name?”
