This was not my first time to Cafe Zito, yet my first HUGE disappointment. We met a couple of friends on a Friday night (they drove all the way from Jacksvonville and us from Havelock) after boasting about this wonderful restaurant. Let me start w/the horrible service. We were the ONLY ones in the dining room this night, so service... more

I had the filet mignon which was quite good. My friend had baked calimari. He was not quite thrilled with his entree but not mainly because he thought he was going to be blown away by paying about $25 just for some calimari. The salads were good, the ingredients seemed fresh, and the service was friendly. Cute place in what... more

A great restaurant not only satisfies ones appitite for fine food, it entertains and surprises, it stimulates good conversation, exposes one to new experiences; broadens ones understanding of foods and cultures and when one leaves it is with the knowledge that they have been truly cared for and appreciated. I must admit I've become a fan of Cafe Zito over... more

Let's first be clear on one point...this restaurant is located in Morehead City, NC. It's not in Paris or New York City. It's not even Charlotte or Raleigh! Standards are a little lower out in the boonies (to say the least), and most of the higher level restaurants of the North Carolina "Crystal Coast" live and die on the patronage... more

What a way to start the week: mondays & tuesdays Cafe Zito has a 4-course tapas menu for $16! We had a delicately flavored cioppino-like zuppa, then prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, tile fish w/ carmelized onions and then a grilled artichoke salad -- all wonderful. They change the menu each week, so we'll need to come back soon. And this is also... more

I watched as they renovated the house that eventually became Cafe Zito and wondered the whole time what type of family was doing all that to their house. It turned out that house was a restaurant but a restaurant that invites you in as if you were entering their home. This is without a question the most interesting and best... more

As a regular patron I receive Café Zito’s news letter. Last week they announced their new fall menu. So I had to check it out. Calamaro nel Forno was my choice. It was everything I expected. Black Risotto is something you don’t run into in this area very often. Cooked to perfection. And the combination of the rice with the... more
