Francesco and his teams have been making some of the best Italian food in Dallas for many years. Not only is the food fantastic at Zio C, but the setting is quaint and cool. This is the opposite of a chain type place which makes it even more unique. I would recommend you put it on your list if you haven't tried it yet.
Francesco has ben a chef for many years, and is excellent at what he dose. We have been going to Zio Cecio since it was open. We have never had a bad experience. We will drive close to 400 miles , to eat there.
One has to really appreciate authentic Italian cousin to truly enjoy the fine food, wine, and desserts at Zio.
First time dining here, and it definitely won’t be my last. The entire experience was outstanding. The owner interacts with each table, and makes you feel like you’re at home. Highly recommend the Bolognese Fettuccine and the Chicken and Mushrooms. The limoncello Cake was like nothing we’d ever had.
Whether you're savoring their handmade pasta or indulging in their delightful desserts, every bite is a symphony of flavors. The attentive staff adds a personal touch to the evening, making it a truly memorable experience. Zio Cecio isn't just a restaurant; it's a destination for those who appreciate the art of fine dining.
Celebrated a month of no sugar with Limoncello cake! After a wonderful meal of fresh burrata, cioppino and a perfect ribeye, I was too full for dessert but only one bite was not enough. The desserts were so beautiful and delicious I didn't have time to snap a picture before they were devoured. The atmosphere was romantic and the service was like coming home after a hard-days work to relax on the porch with friends.This isn't just a great meal it's a great experience.
Amazing service and food with great gluten free options (i had calamari and lasagna! First time going and we booked it again for v day!

This place is spectacular. I have gone here over the past two years and it still remains one of my favorite spots for special occasions within Dallas. Especially if you love Italian food. To start off, My date and I had a reservation. They were a little behind, but it didn't matter because they had room in the bar gave us glasses of Prosecco due to the wait! The service was very accommodating and kind through the entire night. They offer suggestions on the menu and told us what they recommend. Afterwards we had Calamari, Lasagna, and Goccia. All were great. The Calamari was light and had an excellent texture. It came with shrimp and red snapper, as well. The lasagna was one of the best I've had. The chef changes it depending on the season but it is always amazing. Lastly, the Goccia had a rich chocolate flavor that was perfect to end the meal. They also have an amazing wine selection to pair with the dessert options that my girlfriend and I enjoyed. Will be looking forward to my next visit
Gem of a neighborhood place near Love Field. Very homemade feel. Lots of authentic Italian choices and tremendous service. Chef engages with the customers and makes recommendations based on your tastes. I made another reservation for two days from now to try another one. If you like spicy hot, ask him for home grown pepper on your pasta. HOT!! Enclosed patio if you like.
Great food and service. Small but clean and nice. The owner is super friendly.
Don't let the location or the exterior fool you, this is a nice, upscale Italian eatery with a cozy, friendly vibe. The interior is a tad noisy, so I would opt for the patio. We started with the Fritto Di Paranza, which was calamari, shrimp, and other types of seafood fried to perfection. It's accompanied with an excellent marinara sauce. For our entrees we chose the Feletto Di Salmone (pan roasted salmon) and the homemade lasagna. Both were good, with the salmon being the standout. We finished with the Creme Brulee, which was also good. Service is friendly and efficient without being obtrusive, and all in all it made for a lovely evening.
Seafood ravioli with pistachio cream sauce is amazing! Wait staff are phenomenal.
