The Scene
Set inside a vintage 1920s tent and performed Las Vegas-style--with cabaret singing, small tables and an impressive mini-orchestra onstage--this zany production is filled with slapstick characters who tease audience membrs and slowly transform them into dinner. Don't worry: It's more "The Greatest Show on Earth" than "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover." Acrobats, body jugglers and trapeze artists astound with feats of derring-do, while graduates of clown college do their funny-scary thing.
The Food
The show also features a multicourse meal, which may include flying pies. In fact, the entire Teatro ZinZanni experience is something like a pie in the face: silly, slapstick, lightweight fun that urges us to take life just a bit less seriously. The menu, designed by celeb chef Tom Douglas, is a more mature, five-course feast that changes seasonally and focuses on elegant presentations of local ingredients.

I'm going to start out with the positives. Read below for the negatives. If you drink while you're out - don't skip that over! My friend and I never go out to shows, so we decided to treat ourselves and try this out. We are so happy that we did! Teatro ZinZanni was a wonderful show! Well worth the money for 3 hours of entertainment & a 5 course meal. I read the reviews before we purchased, checked out the website & thought it would be fun. I read that there would be a $10 per person dining room service charge & was prepared to pay for that. The food was overall wonderful! The appetizer was the Medley of Marjoram & Buttered Smoked Trout on Toast. This was really flavorful and tasted great! We did find a few bones in there though.The 2nd course was Carrot & Ginger soup. I was skeptical about this one, but it was really delicious! The salad looked like I wouldn't like it, but it was pretty good! I just made sure to mix the greens into the dressing really well. We both chose the New York Steak for dinner, it was served with Syrah Jam. I don't like wine & was really worried I wouldn't like it at all, but the jam was really sweet & didn't taste like wine at all. I was so surprised! It was great! For Dessert they served Lemon Meringue, it was almost like lemon tart topped with Meringue. It was really pretty good! I don't really like Lemon Desserts, but it was pretty tasty! ***NEGATIVE: We ordered 4 champagne drinks each (not spendy champagne either). Our bill came out to be $149.00!!!! Keep in mind the show was already paid for!!! We had a picture taken which was $20& the $20 dining service charge, so $109 for 8 drinks....gulp! A little more spendy than we had inticipated. ***So here's your warning! Beware of the drink prices! The show and food was fabulous! The bill for drinks was not!

Me and my boyfriend attended a showing of A Rosa de Rio for my birthday and had an excellent time! The food was served with flair and tasted delicious. I can't say enough about the performers! I was either laughing or screaming and sometimes singing along. The money was well spent for a night out and for what we got in return--I haven't had such a night of classy entertainment in years. I would say it's a must see.

My husband and I went to Teatro with a group of friends at the end of March 2008 and we had a great time!!! The tent, the service, the food and the show were all amazing! The group sales lady - Kristine was really helpful. See you at the new show this summer!
