Zucchini Italian Kitchen

Firstly and most importantly the food tasted great…although we did book primarily for our girls to have mussels and sadly there hadn’t been a delivery of any the day we went to the restaurant. Most of the party picked pasta dishes as mains and these were really tasty. One of the owners is Italian and he works in the kitchen providing an authentic meal. Portions were not big but we had all had enough food. First impressions of the place aren’t brilliant tbh. The exterior looks a bit scruffy and uninviting. I understand that running a business in todays climate can’t be easy and very expensive however all the floodlights in the car park we’re turned off, steps up to the entrance door had weeds growing through and then upon entering the restaurant it has a somewhat strange and musty smell. Service was a little odd, the evening wasn’t too busy when we arrived at 6pm yet it felt like we were waiting an age for drinks and the young team of staff seemed flustered. The other owner came over to our table and was great with feeding the dog in our party lots of treats and bringing activity sheets for our children. It was very obvious that she cares about the experience you have when there. All in all a mixed bag. Did we have a nice night? Well…it was ok. Could it have been better…yes probably. Would I go again? Possibly not.

We absolutely loved eating here. The food was amazing and the friendliness of the staff was unreal. We visited Perranporth for a weeks holiday and booked this as we had eaten so many times we just fancied some pasta. The pasta was soooo good. We just wish we had tried it earlier in our holiday. It has limited opening days, so we only visited once but would have gone every day had we known. As for the staff, they were so polite and friendly. We spoke to the owner, who just blew my mind. She was so lovely, she came with water and treats for our dog. Then she gave us an information sheet of what we should do in Cornwall. The very next day, we used the information including recommendations for other eateries. She was absolutely spot on. Again... this place and staff get my highest recommendation!! Everyone should go!!! Do it!!

So we didn't stay in the hotel but we had dinner there. The staff were lovely and friendly, the manager told us little bits about the team. The place was super cute and romantic vibes with cute fairy lights. Overall it was a lovely date night ❤️
