Reviews
"The food, atmosphere and service in this restaurant is fantastic. The lasagna and four cheese gnocchi in particular is absolutely delicious! It’s definitely a favourite place that I look forward to revisiting again."
"We travel 40km (most weekends) to eat at Zia’s place, the traditional Italian menu is well thought out. You will be torn between some beautiful dishes, if you find yourself unsure all staff are well versed on each dish and will be sure to help you make a decision. Beyond the food, it’s relaxing and entertaining so that conversation and celebration can continue on. Thanks Tony (and the Zia team) for always going above on beyond when my self and Sheryl visit most weekends."
"This Italian restaurant in Melbourne is truly exceptional, easily ranking among the finest. The gnocchi rivals those found in Rome, showcasing a level of quality that is truly remarkable. The overall experience promises a flawless culinary journey through perfect Italian cuisine."
"Very good atmosphere and good food. The service is excellent."
"A traditional Italian restaurant for a special occasion. We came here without a booking on a Friday night and after a few minutes organisation found a table at the very back of the restaurant. If you want the best seats I recommend to book in advance. The atmosphere is just as it has been since the 1990’s - charming, family oriented, with a a dash of Mediterranean romance. We enjoyed an Aperol spritz cocktail and a glass of Cerasuolo Zaccagnini rosé, and ordered a Caprese Di Bufala (cheese, tomato and basil) entree to share and Spaghetti Misto Mare (seafood marinara) mains. The meals are good value, with well-sized portions. One pasta dish was a little on the oily side, but very tasty, with the pasta cooked the way I like it - just a minute more than al dente. The service was a little slow, but with friendly hosts it is more than acceptable on a Friday night! We gave a 15% gratuity tip as we were pleased with the service. Would recommend for a family meal or a quiet date night."
