Editorial Review for Zio's Italian Kitchen – by Lindsey Rausch
In Short
Arched entryways and painted concrete flooring give this affordable restaurant a rustic, yet modern look. Be seated in the bar area and watch food being prepared or at the tables in the comfortable, spacious dining room. Brick oven cooking--Zio's speciality--gives the bread and pizzas a subtle, smoky taste. Menu includes Italian favorites like artichoke spinach pasta, shrimp and chicken Milanese, and desserts including the seasonal fruit crisp.

Everytime I go to Zios the food order is wrong. Last time after waiting 45 mins for a desert that never came the management picked up the entire tab minus drinks but STILL never got desert. Food is average at best.

Military, married to an Italian; I had to take leave to Mama's house for some good Italian food. I discovered this little restaurant, with great service, friendly atmosphere, and the waiter had a real Italian accent. "My future son-in-law is here I gotta take care of em". The food was great. My wife said the rigatoni was "just like mama's". The lasagna was great! The pizza is the best I've had in San Antonio. This restaurant is definately a hidden treasure. If you like authentic tastes of Italy with a quiet, friendly atmosphere which felt like a getaway, go to this restaurant. By the way the dessert menu is in my daughter's words "So yummy". The tiramisu was excellent, freshly made. They were out of canoli's but I am definately going back for more. The only minus was the veal parmegian was a smaller portion than I expected but the great taste made up for it. I am glad I trusted these reviews and gave this place a try. My wife, daughter and I loved it. We are taking "mama" there next week when she comes to visit. Again, the service was great, the food came just at the right time...you can tell the place is family owned and its really Italian(look at the hours of operation :) The sauce was great, a real great taste, Thank You Lorenzo's! Olive Garden is not real Italian!
Pros: Service, Ambience, food taste
Cons: veal parmegian portion was small for the price
