Lots of food to choose from but food is just ok. Definately not a place I would revisit and not sure how it stays open.

Loved it here. Had dinner here with a group of 8 women. Despite our large group we were seated quickly (even on a weekend night) and had great service. Our meals were amazing. I recomend the Grilled Vegetable Lasagna. The dipping oil for the bread was great on everything. We had fun drawing on the paper tablecloth with the crayons... More

Wine selection is good and the little around the corner Italy is nice for change of pace. Appreciate the food and portion sizes. Haven't eaten anything I didn't like. Hearty and good for the cost.

If you have never been to Italy, then you might believe Zio's authentic premium olive oil with herbs to dip your warm bread in. nicely cooked pasta dishes, a very extensive wine list and great service in a nice atmosphere, all found at Zio's. I really enjoyed myself and my food. Cannot go wrong if you dine at Zio's.

My girlfriends and I go here a lot for lunch. It includes fresh baked bread with oil and seasoning for dipping, a great salad--their house dressing is a great balsamic vinegrette and a decent luncheon sized portion of their favorite dishes. The cheesecake and tiramisu is great also.

Lunch or dinner is great. You can do family style, or order on your own. Food is very budget friendly, and I always go home with left overs.

Decided to try Italian for a change. We were impressed from the greeting at the front door all the way to our way out the door after a wonderful meal. Our server was Lena who truly excelled at her job. We felt very comfortable and spoiled. We took the suggestion of our server and found the food to be very,... More

Our experience at Zio's was the kind dreams are made of. Being in customer service for 10 years I didn't know if a restaurant existed that could meet my expectations. Zio's not only met it, they far surpassed it! The hostess was a delight as she genuinely engaged us in conversation as she seated us. She made us feel at... More

Zio's is fine if you like Olive Garden and being surrounded by Homecoming dates or Prom couples. It's ok. We haven't been there in a long time, since reading in the newspaper how they failed health code visits and laws.
