" After hearing positive reviews about Zio, I decided to try it out. The ambiance was enchanting, and the menu offered a vast selection of genuine Italian dishes. I had the stuffed eggplant, which was delightful, and the portion size was more than adequate. However, the service could have been a bit quicker. I would still recommend it for the food and especially for gatherings with family and friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Impressive! Zio Casual Italian has quickly won my heart with their authentic food. The lasagna was layered perfectly with just the right amount of sauce. The portion sizes were generous and the restaurant itself was cozy with a nice vibe. Our server was attentive and charming. I also loved that they had local wines on the menu. I will certainly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zio is a delightful restaurant that embodies authentic Italian dining. The service was terrific, and my penne alla vodka was heavenly with its creamy sauce. The atmosphere is lively, especially on weekends. I even got to try their chocolate cake for dessert, which was the perfect sweet finish! I’ll definitely be returning for more culinary adventures. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Zio was decent, but I expected better based on reviews. The service felt rushed and it was challenging to get the server's attention. I enjoyed my salad but found the chicken parmigiana to be bland. Atmosphere is cozy, but I might try another place next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" An intimate evening at Zio was just what I was looking for! The menu is extensive, but I chose the stuffed eggplant and it was delightful! My companion had the lasagna and he remarked it was the best he ever had. The service staff were helpful and friendly. I will certainly be back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Zio experience was just okay for me. While the fried ravioli were decent, my main dish of chicken piccata felt lacking in flavor. The server was pleasant but seemed overwhelmed with the number of tables she had. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, but the food didn’t quite live up to my expectations based on the hype. Maybe it was an off night, but I might try again in a few months. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zio Italian is an authentic gem in the city! I was impressed with the quality of the ingredients and how everything tasted fresh. The fried ravioli was a delightful start, and my penne alla vodka was creamy and rich. Our server was knowledgeable and made excellent wine recommendations. The only downside was the noise level which picked up as the night went on. That said, I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
