Zinna's is not a restaurant you will stumble upon by accident; it is in a corporate park, nicely located lakeside. But many people have found it and return for good reason--the atmosphere is pleasant--a lively vibe, but you can converse at your table without having to shout. The service is very good, pleasant and attentive. And the food: the five of us were delighted to see that the menu has changed, so we were ready to dig in. We shared two tasty starters, the long hots and the antipasta. Our party enjoyed the penne vodka, braised short rib ravioli, four cheese ravioli; and yours truly dined on pan seared grouper, which was slightly crispy outside, and tender inside. Desserts and cappuccinos followed. An overall "yum". Bring your own wine to enjoy with a fine meal.

My husband and I were in town for a wedding and came here for a nice quiet dinner after arriving. It's situated on a man-made lake in a corporate park and has a nice view. I liked the vibe and the service was good with a nice menu. My only complaint was that I find the portions to be a bit small for the price point and the food was a bit saltier than my personal preference.

Food a 10 if I could give it a 100 I would. We ordered the lemon ricotta pasta and the short rib ravioli and the portions were more than I could eat and the taste was exquisite. I cannot recommend this place enough and it was our first time here!!! The owner was welcoming and warm and she is in the kitchen doing her thing!!! The staff - TOP NOTCH. Jacks was our waitress and she went above and beyond and her recommendations were PERFECT. We will DEFINITELY be back. Have to try the entire menu sine the food was INCREDIBLE.

This short rib grilled cheese sandwich is the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. He is now revered as royalty in our home and is called "Sir Sandwich." It's just on the brunch menu, but I do hope it appears on the dinner menu soon. Sir Sandwich is worthy of the dinner menu.

My wife and I are on the #eatjersey challenge to have a meal in all 564 towns of NJ. We chose Zinna's Bistro for Cranbury, our 102nd town. Away from the historic downtown and hidden in an office park, Zinna's isn't an obvious choice, but it's charm & great Italian menu make it worth visiting. There is a nice patio for outdoor dining overlooking a pond, but we chose to eat indoors where the bistro is well decorated with beautiful art made from glass bottles. We were joined by family this evening to celebrate both of my parents' birthdays.
The service was good, and everyone enjoyed their dishes. Some samples in our pictures include the muscles, shrimp salad, grilled salmon, and tiramisu! Whether you're a local, or looking for a good meal while passing through the state, Zinna's Bistro is a great choice off Exit 8a of the NJ Turnpike.
