Since opening in 1991, Zeffirelli Ristorante Italiano has been established as a fine tradition in historic Herndon. The 100 year old building adds character and ambiance to Zeffirelli’s dining experience. Our formal service, candlelit tables, exquisite Tuscan cuisine, and fine wines set an incomparable atmosphere for our patrons.

An upstairs balcony overlooks the restaurant where private parties up to 30 are welcomed. An intimate and gracious atmosphere sets the mood for your business affair, rehearsal dinner, birthday, or romantic dinner. Whatever the occasion may be, we are prepared to help you make lasting impressions.

Try our famous veal chop - 16 ounces of fine thick cut chops, marinated in tasty spices and pan-seared to perfection. Seafood is one of our specialties and many customers return for our Linguini Cleopatra - a magnificent combination of lobster, shrimp and sea scallops prepared in a light champagne-cream sauce and served atop fresh homemade pasta.
To complement your meal, we offer an unsurpassed selection of fine regional Italian wines.

Our staff look forward to serving you in the near future.
Speranza vederli presto! (Hope to see you soon!)
