Always like Zio’s. They have very good portions that fill you up. The spaghetti is always good. The Iowa City restaurant is very nice and kept well. Great place. The staff are on the ball with serving and clean up.

I called in for a last minute order to take to a school event. I needed the order in a half hour and gave no notice. I called to see if they where able to do it and they seems happy to wip something together for me. It was all packages nicely for travel and it taste amazing! To bad when I got to the event I discovered it was not a potluck. ‍♀️ Thats okay because everything reheated well.

Nice place and friendly staff. Pizza we got was average. Price seemed a little high for the quality of pizza. I would go back and try other menu items.

Charles Brindle
We entered about 30 minutes before closing. We did wait several minutes to be waited on due to staffing issue. Server was courteous and friendly. Good variety on menu. Clean, but dated environment. While the lasagna was lukewarm, other food was hot. Overall, not the worst choice for a meal and very affordable.

I had dinner here and for the dollar the food was ok. The salad was very minimalistic and the Ravioli has almost no flavor but the meat sauce was very good. It’s good food for what you pay.
