12/10/2025: We dined as a pair at Zia and were immediately struck by its subtle exclusivity: the entrance is kept locked, and a host lets guests in, perhaps to preserve ambiance and avoid casual foot traffic.
From the moment we entered, the atmosphere struck the right balance: relaxed yet refined, never overwhelmingly quiet, never intrusive. The interior is warm and inviting, clearly contributing to how comfortable we felt throughout the evening.
The service was exemplary: attentive, friendly, and unobtrusive. Every course was introduced with care, timings were impeccable, and the staff’s presence felt natural, not forced.
We ordered à la carte. Each dish delivered not only in presentation but in flavor. Among our favorites were the Ravioli del Plin (lamb & cedar), a masterpiece in balance and the lamb with cedar. Every bite reflected confident technique and a clear culinary vision.
We have dined in multiple Michelin-starred restaurants (including 3-star) and frankly, Zia provided the richest overall experience of them all. The sum of environment, service, and cuisine here stands out.
11/10/2025: Chef Antonio of Zia, and his crew led by Valentina in front, plus masterful chefs in the kitchen is a memorable dreamy journey of the best tastes of Roman, Lazio, and global cuisine. Spectacular to your eyes, and tantalizing for your taste buds, highly recommend a visit to celebrate anything speical, or just to immerse in his expertise. Grazie mille Chef !
