Zazios - Birmingham's Latest

No power at home, so I'm stealing power from Dunkin Donuts to blog - that's dedication!

It's easy to love a Michigan restaurant that supports Michigan products & farmers.  It's even easier to love a Michigan restaurant when it's absolutely delicious AND supports Michigan products & farmers - what a great combination!  Zazios is located at the corner of Maple & Woodward in downtown Birmingham - definitely a prime location.  A friend & I decided on heading to Birmingham for dinner a month ago with no plan exactly where we would be dining for the evening.  Immediately upon seeing Zazios we knew that was the place to go. How could you ignore a sign like that??
The vibrant, cutting edge atmosphere pulls people of all types inside. "A Modern Italian Experience" with two locations, Kalamazoo & Birmingham, has a menu for everyone's palate from their pizzas to their pastas to their entrees.  My personal favorite is their Funghi pizza.  Don't let the name scare you off, it's incredible.  The combination of forest mushrooms with tallegio, white truffle oil, provolone & parsley make it addicting.
They have an extensive drink menu & every Tuesday & Thursday select glasses of wine & martinis are only $5 from 4 p.m. - 7 p.m.  On Monday & Wednesday's from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. they have select Michigan Beers for $3 & select Michigan Wines for $5.  What's better than an ice cold beer & giving back to the Michigan economy?!
Since my first time to Zazios a month ago, I've re-visited twice & Birmingham is not close to home.  It's that good.  Have a girl's night, date night or any night at Zazios!
Enjoy :)
