Zucca has served some of the tastiest Greek food that I've had in Adelaide. Located in a prime spot by the Glenelg marina, this restaurant is a perfect spot for a romantic dinner date or formal gathering.
The mezze dishes are a perfect way to get started and try a bit of everything, I recommend the moussaka.
What a delight, you can smell the charcoal flavours from outside. The place is semi modern semi tired, but the waiters bring the place to life.
We asked the waiter to bring out a mixture of food.Kefalograviera cheese with figs and walnuts drizzled with honey.
The we had dolmades with a cream sauce that blew our minds, they were quite large.
We then had perhaps the best prawns I've every had they were quite large and wrapped in kataefi and then fried with a base of beans and salsa type vegetables.
If a that wasn't enough we had chicken and lamb Souvlaki skewers that were so soft and juicy, accompanied with Greek potatoes and pita bread
Delish, that's all I can say, we were fortunate to have the owner and chef come to the table who suggested a mixture if sweets.....don't do it......they are insanely good. What a pleasure to eat there, just loved it and as authentic as it gets.
Very reasonable too.
Had dinner here with my girlfriend and had a great time. Shaun the host and the waitress Paige were fantastic, friendly and accommodating.
We had the the cheese and scallops for entree and salmon/lamb for mains. All were amazing!!! The lamb was great and the scallops were a genuine signature dish! Can't wait to go back, highly recommend!
One of our favourite places to treat ourselves. We had the seafood platter and thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was great as usual. Only downside was that the cream kataifi wasn't available.

I have been here a few times now because I believe in second chances! Obviously any restaurant that overlooks the sea is a review within itself.
However, each time I have come here, I find that inconsistency seems to be present.
We started with a plate of dips, which were excellent, followed by scallops, delicious and perfectly cooked. Vine leaves filled with chicken rice were nice, but no real appearance of chicken and they were quite dry. Kataifi prawns were way overcooked and hardly any pastry on them. I love this dish when it’s done right, super crunchy outside and moist prawn inside, but this one missed the mark. I am surprised that this dish managed to get pass Adam in the kitchen, who was on for this lunch service. Eggplant roulade next, this is a nice dish but the lamb was incredibly strong, almost muttony! Overall most of the dishes were quite good, just need a bit more uber loving!
My good foodie mate and myself, noticed that the interior of the restaurant, the chairs etc, were looking quite tired.
Service was good but they did seem a little understaffed.
Zucca is on the pricey side of Greek tapas but I suppose that’s Holdfast Shores for you, it really is aimed at tourism and tourists pockets. For these prices you don’t want too many errors……
We were a group of five catching a late Saturday lunch on the waterfront at Gleneig. We had great service and a wonderful view of a stormy sea. My glass of rosé was crisp and refreshing. Three of us took the moussaka which was hearty and satisfying though a tad salty. The junior member of the party had the kid's lamb souvlaki and fries which looked tasty and she devoured with great relish. The last choice was the 12 hour cooked suckling pig gyros, and disappeared so fast I'm assuming it was a hit as well.
Booking made on the app, I've never booked online before. Very friendly waiters. Explained specials in Greek & English. Food came very fast - ordered potatoes, salmon and octopus. Potatoes were the best I've ever had at any restaurant. Salmon was tasty but had a few bones in it. Octopus was really nice but some pieces were chewy and difficult to eat. Overall I love this place. Can't wait to go back again!
Lovely views, and very enjoyable food. Service a little poor, but the flavoursome food makes up for it. There's nothing bad on the menu, so order up big, sit back and enjoy a great night out.
Been here many times with friends and family. You won't be disappointed with the food. It can take awhile sometimes. A range of Mezze plates but above average and nice views.
They prepared a very good vegan lasagne for my daughter. I had moussaka, very good as well. My husband had fish. All happy with those dishes. The view is perfect. We were sitting next to the window. It was very windy, so it was a great escape and possibility to see the he ocean. The restaurant was half empty, so did not have to wait for long. The main problem they have a very limited list of salads and they do not have good choice of sweet things. I wanted to order something fancy go with coffee, but they had nothing to offer.

Food was pretty good, i had the twice cooked duck which was absolutely superb and some of the best duck ive ever had and which also came with a bowl of mashed potato which was so nice and smooth and fluffy. My girlfriend had a bowl of moussaka which was a bit more disappointing, it came out as just this little tiny bowl with nothing else, tasted abit bland to be quite honest and my girlfriend actually felt a bit sick afterwards too, may have just been because the sauce was abit rich, i dont know, but the difference between the duck and the moussaka was massive, almost like they were made by two different restaurants. Our waiter was also a little hard to understand as she was Asian which is a bit weird considering you are in a Greek restaurant but still she was very friendly which is a lot better than some other restaurants. Anyway i would definitely recommend the twice cooked duck for anyone planning on eating at zucca, the prices are probably about on par with a restaurant at the marina pier, and you have the awesome view so its definitely worth a try for anyone looking for a half decent greek restaurant

High quality meal and cocktails, with exceptional views. Would recommend being there to view sunset over Glenelg pier.
Amazing food, great restaurant with lovely atmosphere and views over the marina. Service was friendly and helpful. Very impressed seen as the restaurant has only been open a few days. Bit of a wait for food, but understandable on a busy Friday night. Such a wonderful mix of flavours. Would recommend to anyone, and I'm sure it will improve even more more with time
