Zack and Cody’s Table Is Ready After 15 Years
We hope Zack is craving Chef Gigi’s, the best restaurant in Italy. At least, according to Zack and Cody’s Suite Life universe.
In Season 1 of The Suite Life on Deck, twin brothers Zack and Cody Martin, portrayed by Dylan and Cole Sprouse, try to get a reservation at Chef Gigi’s, a fancy Italian restaurant. The episode titled “When In Rome…” first aired in January 2009, and after all these years, fans made it their priority to keep this scene in mind.
The hostess told Zack and Cody, “I can squeeze you in at 7:30.”
“Ah, perfect,” Cody Martin replied with a sigh of relief.
“…On November 16, 2023,” the hostess continued.
“But that’s in 15 years,” Cody Martin implored while Zack Martin noted, “What if I don’t feel like Italian that day?”

The Suite Life on Deck fans have continued to remind the famous twins about their reservation from the spinoff as the date got closer. Even though neither of the Sprouse brothers has directly mentioned the trend, they each acknowledged the famous date through their Insta stories.
Cole Sprouse posted a screen recording of him scrolling through flooded messages from fans about his dinner reservation. Meanwhile, Dylan Sprouse posted a selfie of him appearing overwhelmed with similar messages, which he placed chaotically all over his face.

“Hey Dylan! This is a reminder that your appointment at Chef Gigi’s is set for tomorrow at 7:30pm, to confirm respond YES. To decline respond NO. Thank you,” a fan wrote under the Beautiful Disaster star’s most recent post.
Another commented, “So are u in the mood for Italian today?”
Adrian R’Mante, who embodied the iconic Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya de la Rosa Ramírez on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, also paid tribute to the 15-year dinner reservation.
In a video shared to TikTok, the actor reacted to the scene, silently mouthing “wow!” as the clip played beside him.
“Who’s eating Italian on November 16th 2023??,” he teased in the caption.

But that’s not all. Chef Gigi’s hostess, portrayed by Sandra Purpuro, put her spin on the tribute.
“Ah, boys, you’re back. Your table is ready! Follow me!” she announced in a video uploaded to TikTok.
