Zia's

Good old Zia's has a fantastic happy hour that you won't want to miss! It probably offers the best happy hour in town, with affordable drinks and delicious food at fair prices.I love the Italian margarita--it's so delicious, and the sugar rim makes it even better! The pizza is probably my favorite in all of Toledo; it's not as greasy as many of the others around here. The meatballs are always perfectly cooked and delicious, and the service is fast in a great atmosphere.

First time here. It was a beautiful sunny day, they have a nice patio and we were excited to have a few drinks. We didn't realize that had a Happy Hour going. We decided to sit inside at the bar instead. The hosts were friendly. I explained my allergies to see if eating was even an option. She checked with the kitchen and assured me it wouldn't be an issue. Drinks took awhile. The bartender was slammed so we waited patiently. She was friendly and helpful. I wish there were more drink options, and better wine options for Happy Hour. Neither wine was very good in my opinion so I ordered off the regular menu. Maybe that's the point. We ordered a couple of drinks and inquired again about food. Our server/bartender, told us something completely different from the host, which actually made more sense. Awhile later, another server showed up randomly to let me know he spoke with the kitchen. He told me other items than our server had. Then she came back to check and then the manager stopped by. It was all very confusing to say the least. I was appreciative of them trying to ensure my safety. I just didn't understand how so many people could speak with the kitchen, yet have different conversations. There's only one kitchen. My husband ordered the Meatballs. He thought they were a bit dry, probably better that morning, but he liked the taste and the sauce. I ordered the pizza with artichoke (no sauce) as it was my only happy hour option. It was tasty. The crust is a bit too thin and I usually like thin pizzas. We enjoyed watching the crust and pizzas being made.

Stumbled upon Zia's thanks to Yelp! Food was good, service also good, unassuming ambiance, and prices were reasonable. It seems as if the major part of Zia's business is based on take out orders. Quite a steady stream of people coming in for take out while we were there.

This is my first review of this place. Although my wife and I have been there twice now. Once in June this year and this past Sunday 7/14/24The first time we were seated out on the patio, enjoying the sunset on the Maumee River. Yesterday we're were seated inside due to the chance of rain was still eminent. Service was quick and very polite. The atmosphere of the establishment was very Italian. And the food was very good.

We stopped here for dinner on our way back to Cleveland from a trip. It's a really cool restaurant! They have a library room that I would love to eat in during winter - so cozy. We ended up sitting in the patio to enjoy the last warm nights of the year. It was a very cute patio with a giant tree. It just really needed a good sweep. I think they should also put out anti-bug stuff as it was a little buggy.The food was good, they had gluten free pasta (yay!) with a truffle cream sauce. It was extremely delicious. I'd share more variety but my husband and I got the same thing. I got a martini and it was perfect.Our server was really nice and checked on us pretty regularly.

My wife is from England and for five years we have been looking for the perfect arrabbiata sauce that reminds her of the spicy pasta served back home. We finally found it at Zia's. Perfect amount of spice, without it taking form the flavor. I had the bolognese, delicious! Great portions for the price. The ravioli fritta was also a hit. Will be back! Fast service, we sat in the bar area to enjoy the happy hour deals (even offered on weekends). Quiet, classy inside with stone fire oven and open kitchen which just add to the experience !

Nice ambiance in the restaurant and we had a wonderful server that kept everything moving along at an appropriate pace. Had the chicken pesto pasta and it was delicious. I Ben better heated up the next day!

I want to commend Zia's Chef on Friday August 2 at approx 5:00 pm who made my dining experience exceptional. I have numerous food allergies. These are listed on a laminated card issued by my doctor. My server was not fully comprehending the severity of my allergies nor the ingredients of specific entrees. However, the chef came to the rescue by coming to my table and suggesting appropriate dishes. He also explained to me the food preparation process used avoid any potential cross contamination issues. I'm so pleased that the chef was able to assist me and did so without making me feel like a burden.

Zia's is amazing. Very great options for vegetarians. Second, wonderful service. Third, the salad, bread and pasta, were delicious. Fourth, the prices were very good.I highly recommend Zia's and we will be back!

The food was incredible. Sat at the bar and enjoyed happy hour until 9. Monday thru Thursday.
