    Wonderful, beautiful new restaurant in downtown Halifax! Excellent food, friendly, professional service, bright elegant atmosphere. Lots of variety of both food and beverage choices on the menu. Everything we had was excellent. We were also impressed by the Mocktail choices--very appreciated! We have needed a new place like this in the neighbourhood for a while now, and I hope that Da Zero is around for a long time! (Definitely our new "special occasion place!)

    Halifax has many dining establishments but da Maurizio was one of the best service experiences we’ve had. The staff was extremely friendly and service was great! The noise level was up a little but that was due to a private function in the private room off of the dining area. Wonderful experience and we would certainly go again!
