Zia's

So the evening before we did Mancy's Italian Grille. We were satisfied and content with the level of skill and the service there... Then after looking for paint and all that we come to Zia's for dinner. I would say after experiencing both, that little old toodly doo also known as Toledo, HANDS DOWN... has the best Italian themed eateries between Detroit AND Cleveland. Now. On to my review.i ordered fried ravioli and my lady had a vegetable pizza. First off, their presentation is totally 2nd to none. See the attached pics. Next, even for an appetizer this simple, the textures, the condiment sauces, garnishments... I tasted everything in them. Amazing! Even the side salad was surprisingly delicious. The main dish totally exceeded my expectation. I had more ravioli in a buttery garlicky sauce with a grilled salmon steak atop it. The fish was so tender yet grilled with a crisp edge. It was cooked perfect. The service was amazing. It's the smaller more personable restaurants that give the best experiences. This one holds totally true to that notion. Our waitress was patient and treated us like old friends. This place rocked. We spent $80plus but it was totally worth it. More actually. I've paid more for considerably less. Great value and everything else. Totally unsolicited but well earned 5 STARS. Toledo has 2 of the best Italian eateries in the region. Vegetarian options: The veggie pizza was great.

Beautiful interior, scratch kitchen, extremely friendly and attentive wait staff, and value for money spent. Went for an anniversary dinner and we got the tiramisu as a free dessert, which they brought a lit candlerabra out with. The chicken marsala was cooked perfectly with a delicious sauce, lasagna Bolognese with flavorful and yet not too heavy with a lovely bechamel sauce, and of course the fried calamari was some of the freshest I've ever had with a sauce to die for. Our waitress gave us cool facts about surrounding area, and someone who was there since the opening possibly the owner greeted us and told us about the hanging wine bottles. Oh! And also very nice Craft Cocktails! 4.9/5

Nice atmosphere with Chianti bottles hanging from the ceiling. Had the sangria, calamari, house salad, chicken marsala, and pizza. The Kalamata Buttered bread is a Fave. Take advantage of the promotional birthday, gift cards, and happy hour. Food is top quality ingredients and always tasty. Service is decent. Great Riverview boardwalk in Warm months. Main Street knows the Restaurant Business.

About a week ago I came here with my mom for her birthday, and we had the best time. In my opinion, Zia's is one of those restaurants like wine... it just gets better with age. I haven't been in a couple of years - maybe over five, and couldn't believe that I forgot how good it was. And for my celiac friends or friends with a gluten intolerance, they have gluten free pasta and a cauliflower crust for their pizzas we love an inclusive restaurant. The inside is perfectly dim and the service was great. We had a super cute waitress with beautiful green eyeshadow, jade flower earrings, and a green tie. The bread and olive spread are my favorite in the area, and I ordered the gluten free pasta with the spicy balsamic tomato sauce add chicken. It was *chefs kiss* DELICIOUS. And, I felt as though it was the perfect portion size. I wasn't uncomfortably full when I finished it, and I was completely satisfied. I already have reservations with my boyfriend to come back this week. This place is fantastic.

Had an anniversary dinner here with family. Unfortunately it was raining and we couldn’t sit on the great patio on the river. Our waitress was awesome. We got a couple of seafood pasta specials, ravioli, Chicken Marsala, shrimp scampi and pesto pasta. Everyone gave good to great reviews of their meals. We will return again. Hopefully on the patio!

The food, the waitress, the ambience, and the drinks were absolutely wonderful! We'll be coming back soon! Vegetarian options: Alfredo with broccoli rabe

I have not been to Zia’s for a few years, but it used to be a favorite! I was sad to see that the menu has changed dramatically and has so many pasta dishes. That being said, our appetizers came out nicely and tasted good. However, when the entrées came out, they were not very good. I ordered the shrimp scampi, and the shrimp was very fishy tasting. After I ate some and decided I would not eat anymore. I thought maybe I could take it home and see if I could spice it up a bit. It was then that I noticed a noodle moving. After looking at it closely, I realized it was a worm that was making the noodle move! We called the waiter over. He came over, examined it, said wow, apologized and took it straight back to the kitchen. My boyfriend and I were pretty horrified. The worst part, was when the manager came out. He informed us that it was not a worm, that it was a piece of artichoke that looked like a worm. I asked him, then why was it moving? He had no answer. Clearly I won’t be going back.

A great place to go for Italian food. We had calamari and stuffed ravioli for appetizers. Then we had a wonderful house salad. For the main course we had eggplant spaghetti and Chicken Marsala. For dessert we had tiramisu and cream Brule. Everything was delicious and our server was wonderful. She refilled drinks and bread and checked on us regularly. She even put the leftovers in the box for us. All in all it was a great evening spent out with family.

The food was amazing, the wine was nice and the service was exceptional. Our waitress Heather was fast, effective and very informative. The staff is extremely kind and made the experience one to remember forever.

The only pizza I've had here that was actually close to the pizza I had in Italy. The only thing this place is missing are tiny random chairs and tables crammed everywhere. The chicken parm could feed 3 people! It's huge and savory. The best I've ever had.
