Zio Restaurant in Craigavon

I've been here a few times now, and needless to say first class every time.

Very disappointed the wait was 1/2 hour from ordering and that was just pizza , said to a member of staff who said ill be right back still waiting for her to get back 24 hours later . I was sick after eating the pizza just a horrible experience . Would definitely not recommend this place at all

After trying for ages to get in here, i finally got a table booked. These guys are booked out on Mondays and all so i knew it must be good. Food was exceptional, we had the scallops, (which were not overcooked) the chicken wings, the beef blade and the seafood pasta. Service was great also with a special mention to Charlie, he was very attentive and personable.

Food was out of this world. Monkfish was incredible and the garlic and parmesan potatoes are world class. Dave the mixologist made us an off menu cinnamon bomb cocktail and it was genuinely like nothing I've ever had before. Been going here for over a decade and the atmosphere that Fabio, Giuseppe and all the staff create makes it feel like coming home. One of the best restaurants you'll ever go to.

This restaurant offers gluten free options on their menu and we had absolutely delicious dinners using their gluten free pasta. Service is great and reasonably priced. You won’t be disappointed We dine here often enough as the food is always great. They also offer take away options which is fantastic

Usually love Zio’s and always would book a table for birthday dinners and anniversary dinners, however having been tonight I have to say it will be a while before I go back. First issue I occurred was that we had ordered 2 large glasses of Coke along with a jug of water, to which we only received a jug of water. It was only when we were brought our starters I had to ask the waiter about the 2 glasses of Coke that we were still missing. Starter and main courses food wise was great, couldn’t fault the food. Once our main was over took the waiters a while to clear the plates and proceeded to ask did we want to see a dessert menu to which we said yes. We got the menus without any issues but were left sitting for half an hour with no one coming to take our dessert order. We ended up getting up and going to pay. Finally when paying the waiter at the register asked was everything all good with the food etc. to which I replied food was lovely but we were going to get dessert but were left sitting for half an hour so we didn’t fancy waiting any longer - he completely ignored what I said and just handed me the card reader to pay. Again I have no flaws with the food as it is always delicious but the staff tonight really let the side down

Was working away from home and was recommended it by a few people. The menu is very reasonable and I can’t say I was expecting much in terms of quality. Really blown away by the food. Highly recommend. Server was very good also. Wednesday evening and the place was all but full when we left. Very good spot.

Anniversary ,, meal was outstanding,staff so friendly and welcoming 10/10 folks. Totally enjoyed and the complimentary turimisu.Will be back again.

Great food and service, but it is very noisy and difficult to have a conversation.

I hadn't been to Zio's for many years as I didn't rate the restaurant at all during previous visit or 2, but work colleagues booked a table so I went along. The menu was fairly decent. There were a good variety of options and the pricing was fair. It was a Wednesday early on but the restaurant was still fairly busy. No real wait for the food which was good. The food itself was good. I had a burger and my colleagues had various options, from the salmon to pizza to pasta dishes. They all looked grand and no one had any complaints. Staff were all friendly and helpful. I would return.

Great menu, lots of variety. Service was excellent especially as there were 18 of us! A busy place!

I'd the burger. It was full of gristle and not good. Last thing you want on a burger is to bite into something with chewy resistance. Chips were cold and reminded me of school dinners. ONION RINGS FROZEN...... what an absaloute disgrace. I mean to dip a batch of onion slices into a beer batter mix and then the deep fryer come on. Expensive and disappointing at the price.

Stunning food, we go regularly and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Pizza is always 10/10 and if the lobster special is ever on its a must.

A few of my friends who haven't seen each other in 20 years met up here, the staff were extremely pleasant who couldn't do enough for us. The food was fantastic and I was able to order take out food for my partner to bring home, so extremely happy people all round ❣️

Had a lovely time this evening food was lovely and excellent service!

Great tasty quality food in a warm friendly vibe

Where do i start. I ordered orechiette salsiccia i got rigatoni with canned tomatoes and mince. Everything is spicy probably to cover tastles food. So dissapoited

We had a birthday meal in Zios this week and what a lovely experience . Food was top notch as usual and staff took time to bring out a special little desert with a candle on it and sang happy birthday 🎂 🥳 Loved it. Thankyou Zios 💓

Great food, had beef meatballs, fried squids accompanied by a great focaccia, hamburger and fish&onion-rimgs. 5* food, great atmosphere, great service too, thanks a lot to Fabio, Giuseppe and Andrew. 5* restaurant, highly recommended, we'll be back for sure. Note: book in advance or you'll have no Zio food in your belly otherwise! :D

Had heard great things about this restaurant and it was great! It says Mediterranean but the menu is more Italian. Really great pizza, garlic bread, lasagne and pasta. Food can take a while when busy but it's worth the wait. It seems a popular spot so I'd advise booking a table. Staff are great! Cost is very reasonable. Highly recommended!

Still noisy, Still does great food

Never had a bad meal here. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Its a busy spot for all the right reasons.

The menu is something very similar as it was when the restaurant first opened, although the quality is still good the choice should be extended....

Lovely meal with work colleagues with everyone enjoying the food they received 😋

Excellent food, gluten free pasta and pizza were brilliant. House wines very good also. Highly recommend.

Came for a meal here whilst staying with friends absolutely fantastic service, brilliant food good quantity and high quality Also wide range of gluten free options as my partner has a very high gluten intolerance Will go again when back in northern Ireland.

Fantastic little find . We stumbled across this pizzeria and it did not disappoint. Fab fish starters and exceptional pizza . Service was fab and great buzz about the place . Highly recommend

First class pizzas with a recommendation for the Zio dirty pizza, delicious. Desserts were very tasty. Good, friendly service Reasonably priced Recommended

Just back from another lovely evening in Zio. The service is beyond doubt the best you will get. I have eaten in Zio lots of times in the last 12 years & the service never wavers. The food again was exceptional. I had seabass from the specials board, and it was one of the nicest meals I've had. Would recommend an evening here to anyone.

Called in for a walk in lunch. The restaurant was fairly empty however on arrival we were greeted at the door. The member of staff informed us that because we had a service dog we would have to sit outside away from people. We informed him that owing to medical needs the dog was necessary and could we sit inside. We were refused again and therefore left to an alternative restaurant where the staff couldn't do enough for us.

Came for dinner during the week and the food and service was incredible! One of my favourite places to go :)

Everything is at a high level, we highly recommend it

A lovely place to eat food and staff are lovely

Zio in Craigavon is a must-visit! The food is absolutely delicious, with a great variety of dishes that are beautifully presented. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it perfect for any occasion. The staff are friendly and provide excellent service, ensuring a fantastic dining experience every time. Highly recommend Zio for anyone looking to enjoy a wonderful meal in Craigavon.

I have been several times to Zios and really enjoyed it. But last night I was very disappointed. My family of 5 ordered starters and mains. Starters couldn’t be faulted. But main course took a long time to arrive. Tables beside us were served long before us and they arrived after us. I had chicken milanese. Chicken was very hard and and spaghetti bland. My daughter had meatballs and her meal was also bland. My husband had steak which was to be cooked well done was cold in the middle. Two of my children had pizzas and enjoyed them. I don’t know if the food had been sitting and had to be heated up or what happened but we were very disappointed and definitely not worth what we paid. Sorry to say we won’t be back.

This was my first visit to Zio and I really enjoyed my experience with friends in a lovely atmosphere Service was excellent and so was the food would recommend this restaurant for a visit 😀

Good was fantastic and the service was very good. We arrived on a sat with no reservation and they accommodated us. Staff very friendly and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food.

Good place to eat for a night out.

Fantastic food. Seafood linguine was very tasty and the portion was generous. Our sides of squid with Romesco sauce and dirty zio chips was delicious

Great place to eat. Very busy. Big portions.

The food here is absolutely beautiful, hands down some of the best food iv had recently. Their customer service here is second to none!.

Great food , nice style inside and friendly staff .

You have to go there and see for yourself. I recommend

Great food and staff great but service slipped with bringing food out of kitchen all at the one time was a problem

Visiting from London . Amazing place with great food and great customer service .. so happy I came here with my other half .. the service from Alex was spectacular with great manners and great hospitality.. I will come here again 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me

First time in this restaurant and really enjoyed the experience The food was excellent as was the service The staff were really good Will certainly be back sometime soon

Brilliant night out with work colleagues for a retirement do. We were looked after so well. Thank you all so much xx

Totally excellent wonderful service food and atmosphere. A good place to have a date. Xxx

Great food and reasonable proce service is excellent staff are very observant that there presence is requested for a query which is a skill of the front of house staff

A lovely meal out with friends. I should have thought to ask for salad with no dressing but apart from that, it was great food and the staff were very attentive.

First time on Mothers Day so very busy as expected but also really good service and beautiful food. Very similar to our favourite restaurants in Las Americas in Tenerife (crispy coated squid, garlic bread, meatballs shared starters). We all tasted some of each others main too as usual and it was as good as any restaurants I've ever been to (zio dirty pizza etc very tasty and well presented) Also had mixture of dessert, Belgiun chocolate cake with ice cream and lovely latte with oat milk. Definitely be back soon. Phenomenal.

Great food and friendly service

Wow! What an experience in Portadown! Stunning food in what feels like a chic American-style diner, filled with retro-European art and ads - coolness plus plus!! First visit, of many, we hope!

Service so slow..other guests beside us left for the same reason waiting to long in between each course.

Book in advance as become very popular restaurant in a recent months, as well staf is extraordinary and will give you some memories to rememberer

Great restaurant, food is delicious and staff is friendly .

Brilliant the owners are very polited and the food divine

Love eating at this restaurant. This time we chose to get takeout and the food was just as amazing as when sitting in. Couldn’t fault it. The pizza is amazing.

This restaurant and it's staff is well worth the five star rating.We were a party of four and all had something different to eat e.g. the beef blade a pasta dish and the pizza and all of the above were of excellent quality both in taste and presentation. Thanks for a wonderful meal Zio,s.

Excellent as usual the 3 of us had a fantastic meal can't do enuff for you 👍

Food excellent Service amazing Fabulous value for money

Excellent food choices and really tasty.

Gostamos muito do atendimento pois não tínhamos reservado mesa e conseguiram uma em poucos minutos, o maitre deu show de atendimento

Great menu selection and all very reasonable priced given the size! Desserts were all gorgeous but possibly a little sickly just due to the size, couldn’t finish them. The staff were very attentive and friendly, despite how busy it was for a mid week evening. Even though they still use dividers, from covid times? the place has a great atmosphere and if anything they still allow privacy to chat with your own party even when sitting right next to another!

Great customer service! Amazing food. I strongly recommend it.

Always lovely! Have been going to Zio for decades and keep going back for the delicious food and lovely and friendly environment. 🥰

Chips as hard as stones. Guinness from a can. Staff are lovely.

I never normally go out of my way to leave reviews but after my visit to Zios I absolutely had to. My friend and I went for Christmas lunch and both ordered the Zio turkey and ham, it was absolutely gorgeous! Hands down one of the best turkey dinners I've had 🥰 Such friendly staff too! Will definitely be back again. ⛄🎄 Thank you Zio!

Great night and food was excellent, the young waiter Andrew was such a pleasant chappy and couldn't have done enough for us .

Food was amazing but the service was awful! Took half n hour 2 take out starter plates then had to wait good bit for main then had to ask where our desert was which took 45 minutes to come! Asked for bill and didn't he didn't even answer me after waiting another 5 -10 minutes when to bar to pay where woman asked how it was I told her food what great but the waiting was ridiculous.. she didn't care and just asked for payment ! 🙄 don't go if u have to be somewhere within 3 hours ....👎👎

Always a great night when we visit Zio.

This is my 5th time in Zios and I am yet to be excited by what is accounted locally as a great eating house. It's OK. I reckon you have to be a regular to get the best service which is a pity really but the food is average, not amazing but the restaurant looks pretty so the shallow part of me likes that at least. It's pricey enough and for some odd reason it's quite noisy and echoes a lot which creates an annoying buzzing in the background.

Mains were good however very disappointing dessert. I wanted to buy a dessert to take home and I was given it in a cup(?!). I thought it was a joke but two waiters told me it was fine and just what they do. At £7.50 I feel robbed!

Absolutely loved this. Gorgeous food fantastic atmosphere very busy

Excellent place to eat good price good food good service

Stars rewarded only based on this particular visit only. Its a busy restaurant, through the business we had to ask someone else for sauce because it was taking way too long for the staff that we asked to bring it originally, and even so they were in no rush. Food is exquisite 👌 really could not complain about it as every bit was packed full of flavour so hats off to the chef. The interior although looks amazing they should consider stepping away from industrial look as people forget when designing a place how much louder the place becomes due to materials used in decor, and really important to remember heating, I'm not joking when I say it was Freezing, but hey food was worth a quick visit.

best italian restaurant! great prices, amazing atmosphere, terrific food & outstanding customer service!

Couldn't speak highly enough of this place. Food has always been great. I love the Pappardelle Bistecca. The cheesy garlic bread is also great.

Such a wonderful restaurant. The food was delicious and the service perfect. ✨👌😊

Perfect,just perfect. The food was incredible,waiter was very kind and food came really quick. If you are in Cookstown GO HERE!

Came out to celebrate a work success with my wife. She had the salmon and I had the roast cod. The food was divine and exquisite. A real 5 star experience. Totally recommend. You will not be disappointed

Went for a family dinner and was very pleased with the experience. I'm a food snob living in Dublin, and I'm often unimpressed with mid Ulster restaurants that usually provide quantity over quality, to keep the pig farmers happy. The food was top nosh and good value for money. I had belly of pork cooked perfectly. My sisters had pasta and the wine was very good.

Food was good but I wish I had earplugs for the noise

I have never had a bad meal in this place yet and been there quite a few times. It's consistently amazing.

Always good and friendly service on all our visits

Have had several excellent meals here. Service friendly and helpful. Very good quality food and not a strain on the wallet. Definitely recommend.

Really good place every thing was great will definitely b back

Food was just OK. Service was poor. The restaurant was very noisy, struggled to hear conversation at our table.

For many years Zio is getting better and better, recently we got some lovely experience and I can’t wait to be back .

Absolutely the best food / service / dining experience within 30 miles ! Book early to avoid disappointment Kids menu is perfect Value for money for the children The facilities are fantastic. The venue is brilliant. The staff are absolutely fantastic and friendly. In the last 10 years, we’ve never been disappointed

The food was excellent as always and the service simply superb. Anywhere else we have been recently seems to be struggling with/blaming covid for poor service and food. Not Zio's, this was one of the best dining out experiences we have had in years!

Best fillet steak ever, cooked to perfection and so pleased with service. Very good staff, I am a regular and staff know me as mr. Jason. Very impressive and very professional staff

Great food and ambiance as usual. Had blade of beef for a change, which was cooked beautifully... Disappointing in that this is my 2nd visit in 2 weeks where they had NO options of any Zero/Low Alcohol Beer... C'mon Zios - sort it out please, drinks are part of the dining experience too! No excuse with 2 large supermarkets within a mile, and off licences about 400m away in both directions! Either order more stock or backfill from one of the above - your customers deserve better!

I visited here with a group of 7 friends. Food was absolutely delicious and the service was amazing! Staff are very friendly and accommodating! Cocktails are a must here!

Called on a Monday night with no reservation, place buzzing, all COVID protocols in place, my first visit although the boss had been before, great varied menu, prices not too bad, service was excellent with young waiting staff, pizza's for both if us were excellent, nearly as good as Italy!! (nearly), looking forward to another visit to try the pasta, people near us were getting steaks which looked delicious too, and the boss liked the wine too.

Birthday celebrations for my Dad. We were seated in a booth which was nice. Service was great. Place was absolutely buzzing. Starters all lovely especially the prawns, mussels and squid. The majority of the party had steak for main, all beautifully cooked along with tasty sides. The monkfish special was also a big hit. Decent wine list and cocktails. Managed to fit in dessert and a couple of Irish coffees. This is a lovely place, we always try and celebrate special family occasions here and will continue to do so.

Went here for our anniversary meal. Service terrible - I felt we where stuck in the corner - waited 10m minutes on someone to come and take a drinks order and another 10 minutes for our meal order. Seemed to be more interested in cleaning tables than serving their guests. We could not complain about the starters. These were delicious - brusetta and squid. Main courses were very disappointing. I ordered chicken al forno - very bland - had to ask for pepper and Parmesan - tasted good with these on it. I asked for a plate and got a side plate to eat it off. Husband got fillet steak - he said the steak was lovely but it came with frozen chips and burnt onion rings. Used to be lovely homemade sides with this food. So disappointing. increasd prices for less. Zio’s was always my favourite restaurant but will never be back. They did drop the beer off the bill but would not recommend.

I travel away with my work, currently in Northern Ireland .I thought I’d have a pizza tonight and I found these guys online. This did not disappoint. The best Pizza I have ever had !!!!. Absolutely delicious I had the Sloppy- Italian sausage,pepperoni, Cajun chicken, Ham,Tomato & Mozzarella .Superb!!

Zio has been around for as long as I can remember and it has always been amazing! I’ve never had a bad meal out of it and the atmosphere of the restaurant is always great. Some of the staff can be a little direct/short but on the whole they’re all very friendly and willing to help. Would be a frequent take-out customer and it’s brilliant to have authentic restaurant food in the comfort of your own home!

We went in without pre-booking the table , after rolling eyes from the host for not booking a table in advance he let us in but we where told we have to leave by 5pm , that Didn’t bother us so we proceeded, food was average nothing spectacular, calamari for a starter and mushroom soup was nice, we got burgers for our main, it was bland, nothing special, service quiet slow had to wait a while for a bill, overall average. Not well organised this places could do with a better management
