My husband and I recently ate at Zia Marie’s because they were one of the few restaurants open on a Monday evening. To my surprise, the food was excellent.
I ordered the Veal Saltimbocco which did not disappoint. It was tender and topped with prosciutto and cheese. Yum!!! My husband ordered the cheese tortellini with Bolognese sauce. He thought it was delicious and ate the entire dish which was a generous portion.
An added bonus was that the wine was on special so we only paid half price for a decent bottle of wine. The service was also very good. The place was packed so the volume of noise was a little loud but that’s to be expected when a place is this good.

Service wasn't great. Was told the pizza would take 50 minutes but then came 20 minutes before our other entrees.
This was solid Italian food. For the small crowd, service was a little slow. But the food made up for it. Loved the veal picatta, and a generous portion size meant leftovers, too! Would return 100%>

Food was delicious. Got the veal saltimbocca. Others got chicken marsala and shrimp fra diablo (a little too spicy for me). But overall a great experience. I would go back.
Zia Marie is a true neighborhood gem for authentic Italian dining. The food is consistently excellent—fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and portions that leave you satisfied. The pasta dishes are outstanding, the pizzas are perfectly baked, and the specials always bring something new and exciting to the table.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with just the right balance between cozy and lively. It’s the kind of place that works for both a casual weeknight dinner and a special occasion. The staff is professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better.
If you’re looking for quality Italian food in a comfortable, family-friendly setting, Zia Marie delivers every time.

Once again, Zia delivered delicious food with great service. The linguini with clams, bianco was excellent, again!
One of our faves....we love to start w the roasted garlic app.....delicious. For dinner we had eggplant parm, chicken piccata, spaghetti w meatballs and a seasonal tuna dish that is scrumptious....I ask for it over pasta instead of over potatoes...All four of us enjoyed our meal and all brought left overs home. I recommend!

The veal saltimbocca and the stuffed eggplant were excellent. You can't go wrong with the roasted garlic appetizer either.
We love this place. Go once a month. We made a reservation and they were running very behind. They seated 3 parties that came after us who didn't seem to have a reservation but knew the hostess. First frustrating experience and hopefully the last. Would def recommend reservation this time of year especially fri-sun. Hopefully they honor it though!

What happened to the linguini and red clam sauce? Use to be my fav until they slathered it with parm cheese in the sauce. Nope. This location definitely not charming like the old place. Sorry you lost a devoted customer tonight. Yuk.

This has been one of our go to restaurants when guests come to town but this experience left us wondering if we will be back. Service was spotty as we had to ask again for our complimentary bread that came after our food arrived. They apparently were having trouble with their oven so my pizza came almost an hour later after most had finished their meal. The food was mediocre and the Mediterranean salad was drenched in dressing. My guest's main course was brought out before the salad and we had to ask again for her wine. Finally even though we were tucked away in a corner, the noise level increased exponentially so that we could barely carry on a conversation. Usually we eat on the patio but the weather prevented that. We want to love this little Italian restaurant but may be looking for a new one.
Availability, food, and service were awesome!! We celebrated my husband's birthday and he really enjoyed it. Zia Marie is our celebration destination. We started with fried mozz and calamari, eggplant parm and Shrimp fra diablo for dinner all cooked to perfection. Our wait staff was eager and welcoming, made great recommendations and her flow between tables was even.
