110 Anne St S, Barrie, ON L4N 2E3, Canada
Delicious and tasty Italian comfort food, made in house and fresh! A menu with an array of large & shared Italian dishes in a relaxed space with calming green walls.
My favourite part of their food is their tomato sauce. It has such a great balance of flavours and it complemented the appetizers so well as well as the pasta. The food was great and flavourful. The food was however a bit warm instead of hot but I think it's because they wanted to serve both plates at the same time so one cooled down a bit. The portions on the other hand are so big. For around 10$, the portions are as big as some full meals from other restaurants. The main courses are also only around 25$ and they were quite generous in the toppings as well. The service was decent. The waitress was friendly and had a positive attitude which was cheerful for such a cold night. The place was pretty quiet and a bit cold but it was cosy with the wall of family photos and the decorations.
My husband and I found this place last night on a restaurant near me on goggle and we're happy we did.... The pizza is the best I have ever had and the salad was super fresh! His veal sandwich was cooked 👌 perfectly The owner is friendly and the place is well decorated and clean! We will definitely be going back every time we are in barrie!
We ordered Zio’s takeout last (via UberEats) and were so disappointed with the food. We got garlic bread appetizer, sausage & pepper penne and the chicken parm (with tomato salad & garlic bread sides). The garlic bread was burnt, the oil from the sausage & pepper penne saturated the take out bag (and our counter), and the chicken parm was bland. Zio’s did not hit the mark for us, unfortunately.
Food is absolutely phenomenal and our waitress was extremely nice. Heavy old school Italian vibes, with the music and decor. The veal sandwich is to die for!
The food is other-worldly! I love the home-style cooking, the huge portions, and most of all, the delicious food! Do yourself a favour and have dinner here, it'll be your "go to" Italian place in Barrie!
Nice ambiance, love the wall with the personal (I assume) family photos. Some old ones and new ones from what it appears as the family grows. Soft Italian music playing, just enough to enjoy but not overwhelming. The garden salad was nice. I had the veal & pasta. The veal was absolutely amazing. I definitely recommend it. If you are ever in the area, you really should check them out.
Comfort delicious food 😋 Their bruschetta is not your typical, its quite cheesy and delicious! So good! Their meatball spaghetti was tasty as well. Service was very courteous and friendly. Please, support local family owned businesses, nobody wants just McDonald's around.
I loved the food here. It was a very different taste and we had pizza as well loved it. I don’t like the pizza usually but i liked it here. My husband wants to have it every other day now 🤣 The pepper sauce they gave was homemade and we ended up loving it so much we took home….. Yummmmm !! Service was great too. Definitely coming back here … portions were decent too!!!
We hosted our team staff party where the menu was selected beforehand. Gian Carlo was able to accommodate our group two weeks in advance, and that night, his staff did an amazing job! The Cesar salad and pasta in Alfredo Sauce was absolutely delicious. Thank you, Gian Carlo and staff, for making that evening a memorable one. You made new clients within our party. We will be back!
If you like Italian food this is the please to go. Amazing value for the price. Locally owned. The owner is great to talk with.
Good food, great service, nice atmosphere. Recommended!
We had a great experience.
If I could afford to eat out every day, it would be Zio s! I live every item on their menu so much I have the hardest time choosing! Staff and owner and so kind and the food is amazing. Tender meat, amazing pasta and the sandwiches are amazing.
Friendly service, great food, reasonable prices! Cant be beat!
UPDATED: The owner of this restaurant reached out to me personally to discuss the issue we had. It turns out that the issue was actually with the delivery service we ordered from and not from the restaurant. John Carlo invited us to come in and try them again as his guest, which we did and the food was awesome! I was totally impressed with the customer service from this restaurant and our first choice for Italian will definitely be Zio s We ordered two sandwiches. The menu said they came with onions, green peppers and mushrooms but we received meat and cheese only. Very underwhelmed!! Won t be choosing this restaurant again!
Came here for a veal sandwich and it really is the best veal sandwich that I ve had. I ve been back a few times to try different things and as an Italian I can say that the food is authentic and the atmosphere is great. If you haven t been to Zio s, go check it out!
I absolutely love their food! The chicken fettuccine Alfredo is delicious and my husband loves the spaghetti Bolognese. We were so happy to find a place that uses beef instead of pork.
I always loved their food & service. I am changing my review from 5 star to 1 . We were their regular customer everytime we ask for room temperature water for kid they dont have it which is not a problem so i just take sealed waterbottle for my kid and they never had any concerns Few days ago we went to the restaurant and a teenager was working she said outside water is not allowed. I asked her do u have water for kids room temperature which they dont have. She doesn t have any understanding about kids. The other table guys also started talking for us that they have kid let them keep the water bottle but she didn t care. That was our last visit.
Food was cold and not fresh. No comfort given.
Weve ordered for from here multiple times and its always been great quality. Our most recent order was through Uber and the wrong order was delivered. The owner at Zios was incredibly helpful and made our order and delivered it us to make up for the error. Fantastic customer service!
The food here is truly out of this world delicious. My partner is an incredible cook, so I m always skeptical of new places the cooking never seems to taste better than home, until we found Zio s. We ve tried the Alfredo, tortellini and pizza and can confidently say we won t be going elsewhere in Barrie for pizza or pasta! This is comfort food at its best!
Best Panzerotti
Not family or children friendly. More or less adults only
I keep going back here for the veal sandwich s. The way it should be tasty tangy and most of all tender..
Very wonderful, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the services are very excellent. Thank you all. I will come back to you soon
This restaurant is my comfort place, the food and the service is top tier. Food portions are beyond amazing and prices are even better! The owners are so kind hearted, every dish I ve gotten has been so amazing!
Love Zios for a homecooked Italian meal anytime of the week. Also purchase a container of their Ceasar salad dressing when leaving . Food
The best Italian restaurant in Barrie! Your welcome as part of the family. Relaxing feeling, comfort food, amazing menu & best of all, the food is delicious!!!!!! One of my favorite places in Barrie. You will love the staff! Great place.
Had the veal sandwich it was amazing! They added their house special hot sauce which was spicy but great!
Very nice food. Service not friendly
Today we had afredo with fetechino noodles and chicken, a personal pizza, garlic bread and a glass of wine each. Service was excellent. Food was hot and delicious. Alfredo was saucy and creamy. Prices were reasonable. Nice decor. Highly recommended restaurant. Parking: Go to side lot where restaurant entrance is located.
If I could give it 10 stars it still wouldnt be enough stars, this place is fantastic.
First time we have been was tonight. Had the veal sandwich with all the toppings. Very satisfying.The veal was thinly sliced and stacked. Finally found a great veal sandwich in Barrie! We also had a Panzo and the crust was perfect. Awesome find! We will be back...maybe tomorrow...lol
Some of the best Italian food I have had. Came to town for a hockey game and tried it on a whim. The bruschetta was great, especially the bread. The sauce on the pasta was fantastic and absolutely filling. The prices were super reasonable as well. Definitely coming back again with some friends
delicious food , cute atmosphere and amazing service !
Zios veal on a bun is so frigging amazing
This may be one of my new favorite places! Food is absolutely awesome! Thank you all for what you do! Amazing service as well!
Love the meatball sandwich and caesar salad! Love a garlicky caesar salad. Best caesar salad in town!
We had a family dinner here and the food was amazing! Our server checked in often. Next time were back in Barrie, a must go!
I reached out to this hidden gem of a restaurant to see if they could cater/host a family gathering of up to 30 people for lunch after a funeral service on the family day stat holiday. Giancarlo & Brandy even though it should have been a day off for them, chose to open their kitchen for us and catered our family gathering and was very reasonably priced. When a restaurant could have over charge, they did not. The food was delicious, the pizza, pasta and salad kept coming out and it was all very tasty and amazing. Their homemade Cesar dressing has got to be the best hands down especially if you love garlic. The atmosphere was very comforting, the Italian music was soothing, there was plenty of room and overall the experience was amazing. Zios you did not disappoint this Italian family, Thank you for everything.
We came her based on the information found on there website. Based on the website, price seem reasonable and they had a good kids menu. Unfortunately what we found the website was outdated. The prices were increased by 25% and they eliminated the kids menu (which they told us after we received our meals). Anyways, we the Bruschetta, Spaghetti & Meatballs, Alfredo and Sausage & Peppers. The Alfredo was good but the rest was mediocre at best. We only ask please update the website.
I had an amazing pizza here the other day, and the staff and atmosphere are cool.
Another 5 star review for this excellent establishment! Hubby & I fancied a pizza on Friday evening though our treat day is Saturday. I placed the order for a large pizza over phone and asked what the bill would be. When I learnt it was $45, an amount I didnt want to spend on Friday - I explained as much to the lovely and patient lady on the phone and changed the order to a small pizza. We go to pick up the pizza, pay for the small pizza and then they hand us a large pizza with a Happy New Year and a big smile - we were blown away by their generosity!
Great food and a local gem! Love finding independent restaurants that knock it out of the park. Quite reasonably priced for great food!!
Food was excellent. Big portions.
Two words, fries and Cesar salad oh and the burger haha
Back again!!! You must eat here. Seriously!!!! Always amazing food. Never ever a let down. Highly recommend you eat here! Food
Amazing Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. Try it baked. You wont be disappointed. Service and atmosphere comfy and relaxed. Support local!
Really great food and service! Enjoyed the Lasagna, portions were good 3 of us took home leftovers, price is fair for home cooked fresh food! This will be a regular stop for us!
Decided to stop by for a quick pizza service and atmosphere were phenomenal lots of classic pictures of the Italian family I guess. Pizza was okay
Amazing food and service!! Prices are also very affordable! Highly recommend it!! Parking: Plenty of parking available. Kid-friendliness: Lots of options gor kids.
Fantastic food. We shared the Caesar (definitely in my top 5 of all Caesars I have had - they even sell their dressing), the fettuccine Alfredo and the veal sandwich, all made fresh. Really good, hot and delicious. The homemade hot sauce is also tasty. Do yourself a favour and check it out.
Absolutely terrific! Cannot think of anything that needs to change. This is a must try for those that havent. Food is delicious, staff is so extremely pleasant. Love this place!
Excellent Italian family restaurant... super food quality and freshness
Honestly i m not one to leave a review on places let alone a bad one but the way this restaurant treats delivery drivers is ridiculous. Man at front counter told me that I had to have a hot bag (NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE A HOTBAG FOR DELIVERIES) and told me that he doesn t give food to drivers without a hot bag. He said it would slide this one time but the next time I come back i have to have a hot bag. None of this would have been an issue if they were more understanding and nice. But telling by previous reviews, this isn t a new problem.
Always come here when I am in the mood for authentic Italian food. The Ceasar salad dressing is home made. The best in town. Also its available for purchase.
The best pasta Ive ever had! Everything is made fresh, from sauces to the pasta and you can taste it. Server was super friendly and helpful in describing dishes to us. Will DEFINITELY come back again
Very good coffee and pizza 10/10
Awesome pizza, coffee was very good too and at a very good price. Will 100% be coming back again!
The food was incredible. Undoubtedly the best in the area. Offering above-average portions served up quickly ar a great price. If the waitress didnt make everybody at my table uncomfortable by being so rude a 5 star would have been due.Nevertheless I still highly recommend Parking: Ample parking Kid-friendliness: Not a strong suit for the waitress
Panzarottis are amazing here, the crust is so crispy it melts in your mouth.
Great place to eat. Only 5 minutes from our hotel. They dont have restaurant delivery other than by a couple delivery services, but we went anyway. Glad we did! Food was fabulous, service was great (thankfully it didnt come all at once like most restaurants; had time to enjoy our salads and appetizers). Ive saved Zios in my notes so will always visit there when passing through Barrie. You wont be disappointed.
Authentic Sicilian food (not Americanized) at a higher cost. Their tomato sauce and pasta are fantastic, but their garlic bread is very low tier. Its literally just sliced bread with garlic butter. Most dishes are fine, but this isnt for everybody due to accurate Sicilian-style foods (such as eggs & peas in lasagna) but if you enjoy authenticity, then theyre the best in town. Pop comes with a single refill.
Great food, friendly waitress.
The portion sizes were huge! Food was wonderful! Service was really good. Great place to eat.
Great catering by Giancarlo and his family for 40 hungry teen agers last Saturday evening. Salads, two delicious pasta choices, dessert and soft drinks, all delivered to out hotel for a very reasonable price.
Amazing fresh homemade food
We love the food there. It reminds me of growing up with my Italian friend. A friendly family restaurant.
Best Italian food in town. Friendly staff, great service!
Best veal sandwiches in Barrie.
If I had know that their $16 dollar homemade bruessata was made on 4 pieces of white sliced grocerystore bagged bread I would not have ordered it ( they said their bread was made in house).... Unless they make and distribute Wonder Bread from their restaurant they didnt make their over priced not so tasty bruessata bread... In terms of the rest of my families $220 dollar meal we all felt disappointed because this restaurant is so beyond over priced for the quality of food we received... I just hope I save some other family by telling them to spend their hard earned money somewhere else because this restaurant isnt worth it.
This place is amazing and the people have the best attitude in barrie.. I definitely recommend the experience Food : 5/5
The pizza wa so amazing, the cheese and all the ingredients was 10x better thank other pizza place!!! Mmm so yummy and honeslty im gonna be back for the pizza!
Came in for lunch and found the waitress very unwelcoming and rude, I would not return or recommend !!
The waiter was NOT welcoming and rude. Not for me.
First time coming here with my girlfriend and all I have to say is we will be back, the food is amazing, FRESH and the portions were fulfilling. Definitely come support and give it a try if you haven t already, it won t disappoint:)
One of my fave restaurants. When I am craving Italian I will be going back! Dietary restrictions: They are fantastic at Gluten Free items! Food : 5/5 |
Pizza was fantastic
Excellent food.!!! I am not a salad person at all... but Zios have the best Chicken Caesar Salad for sure.
Probably the best Italian restaurant in Barrie. We didnt expect, but all the food we ordered was very tasty. Food portions are larger than usual. I recommend!
Very tasty food and very friendly server, loved the food quality and definitely recommend it to my friends and family!
Actually Italian food in Barrie. It always seemed like a pipe dream but damn this place was good! The staff was top notch and the food was fantastic! Will be going back. Food
Family Italian. Excellent Alfredo made to order.
John Carlo the owner is top notch! Hands down the best customer service. Sorted out my Uber eats order, that being said I m only going to go dine in from now on. Highly recommend.
Good food love it..
Great food!
The menu online is outdated and the hours are wrong on Google. Dining in ends around 7:30/8 but they still do take out. Overall though the food was delicious (the bolognese sauce was sooo good!) and the staff there were great, just wish online info was more accurate for here.
Food was delicious. Quiet friendly atmosphere. Great service. Thoroughly enjoyed everything.
Great service, owned by really nice people. Fresh Italian food, good portion and good prices. Ordered pasta with their house wine while listening to Italian music. If you have someone who loves SPICY, I recommend trying their homemade hot oil. Will be coming back!
Great pizza Vegetarian options: Veggie pizza is excellent Food : 4/5 |
Service was prompt and friendly. I had the veal sandwich... oh boy so good but too much to finish. Im looking forward to lunch tomorrow! Well be back!!! Food
Truly delicious food at affordable prices. My friend has celiac disease and she was really pleased with all the gf options.... even homemade lasagna!! I had the personal pizza....so good!! Dietary restrictions: Many tasty gf options.
The close when ever they feel like it. Times are not accurate. They said busy they said call right back. 19 min later closed. The daughter is super rude. Dont go here. I love small buisnneses but they are so mean and rude. Well the daughter is. How do you go below a one for service. Id be embarrassed. I walled 20 min incase the phone wasa mess, just to be harassed by the spoiled child who never worked for anything
Omgoodness this is the cutest family restaurant. With multiple Gluten-free options which made us ecstatic!!! We will 100% be back so delicious! Love the reserved table for family cute spot!
Excellent restaurant that you & all your family/friends will thank you for considering . Try their pizza or pasta & you will be back to Zios again and again !
Great sandwich
Great food, friendly service
Great local spot. Friendly service. Warm atmosphere. Delicious food. Go eat here!
We drove all the way there only to find out that they had closed it for a private event. It would be better if they could just mark it in the Google maps.
Food is fantastic!! Friendly and helpful service too!! Make sure you get the veal sandwich or fettuccine Alfredo! Delicious!
I got take out from here last night. So delicious. The girl on the phone was so very pleasant and accommodating. The food was fabulous and so much. Im currently eating my leftovers for breakfast. I will be back! Highly recommended!
Still nice pizza. Lock down made it frustrating cant sit down and eat it as it comes out of the oven. Instead in the cold weather and driving home pizza cooled off a bit. But isnt that why they invented microwaves?
The place was cozy and clean but food was average. For example, if you order garlic bread, you will get four slices of walmart white bread toasted with some garlic spread. Fries were non-crispy and kinda burnt. But its just value for money. You get what you pay for.
After spending over a year looking for a good Italian restaurant in Barrie I finally found this one. We ordered veal sandwiches and pizza and it s the best by far. So glad to have found this place.
Best Panzeroti Evvva! And amazing customer service... Gotta try it for yourself oh Ill be back Thanks again guys Blessings*
We are relatively new to Barrie moved here just over a year ago and finally found a restaurant who knows how to make the best veal sandwiches and great pizza ! On top of this their caesar dressing is to die for..so creamy and light . Being from TO we know our veal sandwiches and these ones are far superior to any of those restaurants. This is our go to place and will continue to be . A gem in Barrie!
Amazing Pasta, amazing Lasagna and amazing hosts!! Glad that we came across this place on our way back home to Toronto!! Thank you for the awesome experience!!
Great food. Excellent service. Quiet-as in able to have a conversation. Not blasting music.
Great little family place that accommodated our big group on a Sunday. Food and service was excellent. Thank you again and its so important to support these small businesses that have suffered these last 2 years.
Such a friendly bunch. They made us feel as if we were sitting in their home. A true Southern style Italian food. The portions are very generous for the prices. The Alfredo sauce is just delightful.
Great food, great people!!
Great takeout meal of spaghetti and Caesar salad!
The food was authentic and delicious. Portion sizes were large. The staff takes friendliness to a new level.
Last evening my husband & had our weekly date night and wanted to try something new. I have driven by this restaurant several times and was excited to try. We arrived around 6:30 PM and when we entered we saw we would be the only people in the restaurant. I was partly excited because I was looking forward to a quiet evening. The moment we entered the server looked absolutely annoyed. She side heavily, Grab the menus and just walked towards a table, she didn t even say hello, or welcome or follow me. She put the menus down walked away before we even sat down and said she ll be back shortly. Her tone was annoyed and rude. Again never greeting us. We did not feel welcome and felt like a big inconvenience just being there. We did not stay as I did not want to spend a date night and $$$ being treated rudely and not welcome. So we went to another Italian restaurant in town where we were welcomed and smiled at the moment we walked in. If I m going out for dinner I don t think it s too much to ask to have polite servers, made to feel welcome and not an inconvenience.
My mother and I enjoyed a late lunch here. Beverages were served - Orange Pekoe tea for her, ice tea for myself. We both ordered the Chicken Parmesan. Hers with spaghetti, mine with penne. It came with a large bowl of Caesar Salad and Zios homemade dressing. I had read online that it was very good dressing and I absolutely agree! It was quite flavourful. The chicken parm was three pieces of breaded chicken breast and an amazingly large amount of pasta. Tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese brought it all together. Hot and delicious! Needless to say, we had our fill and still took home enough for another meal. With the kindness of the server and the great food, we definitely have plans to return!
We have had multiple caterings and takeout dinners from Zio s and we are never disappointed. Great portions, tasty, and consistent. As I m writing this review we are waiting on a pizza to go. One of the things I always have to take home is the Caesar dressing
Super delicious Truly Italian experience and amazing food
Wonderful experience. Friendly staff and minimal wait times for pickup!
Ordered from here today...got a veal sandwich it was ok...the cesar salad i ordered was very disappointing as from an Italian eatery you would expect a decent salad not just lettuce and dressing...where were the crutions and bacon bit and parm for the salad?? Very disappointing for a restaurant that calls themselves Italian
Excellent food and service. 10/10 Caesar salad and manicotti were top notch. Highly recommend.
We were recently in Barrie for a soccer tournament. I had made arrangements for our team dinner with the owner Giancarlo a week prior to attending. The experience/service was excellent. Our entire team and parents were accommodated in the restaurant and we were fed delicious pizza, pastas, salads, garlic bread for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend this place. Truly a great family owned business that offers a kind friendly environment. Thumbs up to them!
The times Google says they are open til, are not correct.
Great food. Great service. Its not fancy in the decoration...its the heart they put into it. Thats what is good. Go. Try.
Great diner environment, great menu, great staff, large portions; all around a great experience!
Excellent!
Came here with two friends starving after a long day out and absolutely ordered everything we could. Food came and we were all shocked by the astronomical sizes, and we destroyed every bite of it being so yummy. Service was super friendly too. Definitely recommend and will come back!!
We stumbled upon this place during our short stay in Barrie, and we were very pleasanly surprised! Our kids loved the fries and pasta, the service was great, and the overall value for money waaaay above average. Greatly recommended!
My wife and I decided to try this place. There was no one there except the server and chef. We decided to stay. We could not have made a better choice. The staff were amazing. The food was outstanding. We had the Cesar salad and pizza, best I have tasted in Barrie. Make sure to try this place out.
If in Barrie, this is one restaurant you have to try.
pizza was undercooked... and soggy.. garlic bread was hard as a rock.. terrible experienc..
Pizza and pasta was absolutely delicious and yummy Homemade hot sauce was nice and spicy. Excellent service!
Came from out of town with the family and checked this place out August 1st. All 5 of us thought the food was very good and we had large portions of it. I think the waitress name was Brandi. Great service and very friendly. Would be our go too restaurant next time we are in Barrie.
The service from the waitress was great. Very friendly and helpful. However, this was easily the worst chicken parmesan I ve had in a long time. It was burnt and the ingredients used for topping were clearly low quality. My university cafeteria did a better job. Not only this but I heard the manager/cook or whatever his job is yelling at the waitress saying I don t know what it is you don t understand today! . He sounded abusive in his tone with most things he said to her. The only reason I m not giving a 1 star review is because the place SEEMED clean and the waitress was nice.
Great spaghetti, Caesar salad too!!
Amazing food and friendly stuff. Highly recommend
I went to Zios last night and got takeout. First time ever trying it out. The pasta was so great! The garlic bread was great! I got to meet the owner, who took my order and made the pasta fresh to order. Such a genuine dude! Will grab dinner from here again, and I d HIGHLY recommend!
Homemade sauces are awesome Parking: Lots of room Wheelchair accessibility: There main door is accessible
Terrible pizza. Who puts toppings under cheese? Called toppings for a reason. Ordered thin crust, well done. Came out doughy and thick. No flavor. Terrible free kraft garlic dipping sauce. Would not recommend the pizza. I m sure something else might be a better choice.
Delicious food, and great customer service !
First time here, salad was great. Got chicken parm and asked for NO hot peppers. Took a bite to my mouth on fire. I cannot eat hot peppers, it upsets my stomach. I had to dismantle the entire sandwich to at least have something to eat. The peppers made the entire thing just way to hot. I am going to pay for it later even eating the little bit I did. Sad because it would have been a very yummy sandwich except for that.
Delightfully surprised with the quality and portions and reasonable price ! It was 1st time here and Giancarlo and wife Brandy were exceptional hosts. Our oven baked and pasta and ravioli dishes were Italian superb! Will visit them regularly! Ciao
made a reservation for Oct. 9th. 545. get here and its closed. a -----s never called to cancel
This place is always awesome, the food is amazing and authentic Italian food, and the staff are also great, and always make great conversations and always check in on the food and drinks, great place all around! Would definitely recommend to anyone craving Italian food or any food at all!! Dietary restrictions: Have lots of gluten free options like pasta, lasagna and pizza
What a fabulous experience! Gian Carlo and his staff are wonderful people! Phenomenal food made from scratch to order. Fresh ingredients and wonderful flavours! We can not wait to go back!
A nice place for a good bowl of spaghetti & meatballs.
Just good old Italian food.
Probably the best Italian restaurant in Barrie. We didnt expect, but all the food we ordered was very tasty. Food portions are larger than usual. I recommend! Parking: Many spaces. Kid-friendliness: The kids loved the pizza, fries and fried cheese curds.
Food is great owner is generous
We came here on a recommendation by the ladies at Ruby Tattoo Studio. And my husband and i love it. Hes a huge panzerotti fan, everything at Zios is made in house. Everything is fresh and cooked perfectly. I brought my parents here and they were also very impressed. I highly recommend this restaurant if you like Italian comfort food. Its family run, wholesome, friendly environment. Try their caesar salad. Try everything The only thing this place is missing is desserts!
I hate to have to leave this review... but I feel I must. Today I got a pick up order of pasta and I was a little put off by seeing a large breed dog in their kitchen. I decided not to say anything and just get my food and go. Unforunately upon eating the small portion for $24 dollar pasta with chicken dish, about 2 hours later my stomach started hurting very badly and I had to go to the toilet (if you know what I mean....) And the pasta was the only food I was able to eat today because of the stomach ache and bad washroom issues. Im not sure if it has something to do with a dog being loose in their kitchen but im not too happy. I feel really sick.
Food is always delicious!
Great food, good portions and great staff
Always good, the last few times not as good as it used to be
Fabulous Italian!!!
Service is great, so friendly and welcoming. Food is great and huge portions worth the price. Would recommend this for all your Italian food needs!!
Greatvgood great price
Worst customer service ever, manager is really rude don t know how to talk to a customer, definitely don t recommend!
Order here tonight. Got wings and a poutine it was really good ill come back
Worst food ever. Container had very little in it and tasted terrible. Looks like they microwaved it before delivery.
1st experience was amazing, Great food even better people will be back soon thanks guys!
I took a chance during the lockdown to order a nice meal. I wanted GOOD pizza. Skip the dishes suggested Zios but Trip Advisor is the bottom line. Seems everyone feels as I. Amazing taste, quality and care Id expect sitting in the restaurant. One of the recent comments suggested Caesar Salad so i ordered it with my pizza.
The veal sandwich was really good
Had the chicken parm sandwich with fries from Zio s. Definitely close to old school style of home cooking from northern Italy. The meal was warm and tasty, fries where perfect and the portion was a good size, my only one complaint is the price was a little steep at $17 for a sandwich other then that I d go back for another sandwich!
Thanks for the great food
Food is great amust try stop
The food was delicious. Serving was so warm welcoming . If you ever wanna try Italian. Consider this place.
Fantastic family owned Italian spot thats just a little off the beaten path. If youre looking to get your moneys worth from a restaurant this is the place to go. The food is delicious home style Italian and there couldnt be a more relaxed atmosphere and staff to enjoy it from.
Everything here was absolutely spectacular! The food was so good and all made from scratch. The service was also top rate. Ill be back for sure.
The food here is quite enjoyable. Fresh tastes, friendly staff, clean washrooms. Definitely recommend.
Food is awesome staff is polite owner is great just had the panzo with house salad amazing keep it up zi zj
Excellent experience, atmosphere and food provided by Giancarlo and his family. We booked this space for a private funeral/memorial and can not thank you enough. The food is delicious and the owner and his family created such a welcoming space, our family is already booked in for our next event. You went above and beyond and our grandma was very happy. Thank you to you and your family. Well see you again soon. Support this small business. You will not be disappointed.
Love the food from this place my go to now
Well that was a dud. Heard good things but just got the pasta today and not sure what kind of tomatoes they use but very dark and flavour is off. Noodles were over cooked and just fell apart when you tried to pick them up with a fork. Did not enjoy pasta. Garlic bread was alright though and the owner is super nice. However that pasta is super pricey and not very tasty. I ll stick to Mondos in Barrie for that kind of pasta
I never knew about Zios. Extremely happy to have had it mentioned as a local choice for dinner last night. Amazing yummy pizza and really good home made ceasar dressing. Do yourself a favour and try it. Great friendly service.
Comfort food, excellent service, bedt garlicky Caesar salad ever.
The veal sandwich was just what was needed but then the in- house ceaser salad dressing stole the show. (the owner was reluctant to reveal the family recipe...)
This is my go to when I feel like a Veal Sandwich. Highly recommend this Italian restaurant for any of your needs. Catering, dine in or take-out.
Great food and atmosphere. Would return again.
BEST CEASER DRESSING IVE EVER HAD!!!
Ordered dinner here and was not impressed. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and a friend ordered wings and fries we also did an order of garlic toast. The pasta was ok, but the garlic toast was very bland, no taste to it at all. Friend said wings were good but the fries were not good at all and only ate a handful of them. Was hoping for a great experience since Ive heard good things about this restaurant but I definitely wont be back.
We ordered takeout from Zios, we both got panzerottis and shared a caesar salad and they were both SOOO good! Definitely recommend 100%, and we will absolutely order from them again!
Veal is good but pasta has no taste not even salt or pepper.
We have ordered with skip the dishes a few times. I love the lasagna! Have not had a bad meal yet. Thanks Zios!
Amazing food thats almost all handcrafted with love and attention. Flavors are exceptional and the service has a feeling of family where you feel comfortable and welcome. Definitely recommend!
The food is delicious! Portions are really good. I highly recommend!!
I work two doors down from Zio s in the plaza! I love getting lunch here :) Food is really good and portions are awesome! You can tell everything is fresh!
My favorite ppl and food
Had a veal sandwich recently. The bun was a let down (focaccia or panini would have been appreciated), but the veal was freshly made (crisp breading, and very thin), and the mixed veggies on top were amazing! They were obviously fried specifically for the sandwich, and were done just long enough to soften the peppers and onions, but neither were mushy as is often the case in this type of sandwich !
Love there veal parmasion.
With a special request of urgency, The team together pulled off nothing short of exceptional customer service. They had me eating within 15 minutes. And I caught my train! Did I mention the homemade sauce and dressing are delicious?
Had an order of spaghetti & meatballs. Sauce tasted like canned sauce and meatballs should be called breadballs, Definitely did not taste like Italian homemade food.
So far the best veal parm with mommas home made peppers and pizzas.......with mommas homemade peppers. Life changer.
Absolutely ignorant service
