" Unforgettable meal at Zio! Their fried ravioli is a must-have, deliciously crispy and melting your mouth. The ambiance was lovely with perfect lighting and live music. I ordered the chicken piccata and it was out of this world – perfectly seasoned. Our server was upbeat and made sure we were well taken care of. I can’t wait to bring my family here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zio is a fantastic Italian restaurant! Their fresh pasta dishes come highly recommended. I had the tortellini and paired it with a wonderful Chianti. Our server was friendly and passionate about the food, which made the experience even better. I enjoyed the cozy vibe and will surely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely dinner at Zio last week! The ambiance was cozy and warm, perfect for a date night. I ordered the chicken piccata, which was bursting with flavor, and the portions were substantial. The service was outstanding; our server was attentive without being intrusive. I will definitely return soon for their famous ravioli! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zio exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff. I ordered the lasagna which was so filling and tasted homemade. My partner had the caprese salad and loved it as well. They even offered great wine pairing suggestions which improved our meal. I will definitely return because the value for the quality was excellent! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Zio. Some dishes were great; the toasted ravioli was a hit with the table, but the chicken piccata left me wanting more in terms of flavor. The ambiance was lovely with soft music playing, creating an intimate setting. Service was decent, though could be a bit faster. All in all, a decent spot for Italian food. " (*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*)
