On this night (Saturday) there was a rather loud group of lads celebrating a birthday and they enjoyed themselves....but you're only young once, right!? On any night this is a comfortable, friendly and (if you need one) romantic venue. Tonight we had all of these with added exuberance. The staff were lovely and their smiles were genuine, the servings were generous and tasty...we really enjoyed the evening.

Came here for a Father’s Day meal, first time for two of us out of the four of us. We had an amazing meal and the service was fantastic. Our server was really interactive with us - doing magic tricks and keeping us entertained! The food was really tasty, we all got pizzas and had antipasto for the starter to share and we loved it. Would definitely return, good value for money and good location.

Sadly Disappointed. Despite this being open for almost two years I'd never managed to get there. And I won't be back in a rush. Why not? Well, we were given a table for 90 minutes, which should have been fine but everything was just too slow. First ask for drinks order was about 15 minutes. Starters.. the calamari was good although lukewarm.. parmagiana was hot and good. Main courses were almost an hour after we arrived, and weren't as ordered. When I pointed this out, there was an indifferent shrug. The calzone was somewhat undercooked. We left it under a napkin as by now we had decided we would finish, pay, and leave. When we asked for for a set of cutlery and some chilli oil (two sets of cutlery delivered for three people) the waitress walked straight past the chilli oil and reappeared literally about 3 minutes later with a knife and fork and said "oh you've got some chilli oil". I'd gone and got it myself. There was no table check at any point. When the waitress was clearing our starters she asked if we wanted the dessert menu. And the icing on the cake was an incorrect bill where we were charged for a bottle of prosecco when we'd had a bottle of rose. What a shame. What a disappointment. First time in a long time we've left a zero service charge/tip/gratuity. In a town with a choice of (Italian) restaurants I think they need to do better.

Went for an impromptu dinner out and Zio’s did not disappoint! The starters were fresh and a very decent size portion. The mains came out promptly and were absolutely delicious. So light but filling. We finished off our dinner with three massive profiteroles that were hard to finish. Everything was fab. The house red wine was really nice and the espresso was velvety smooth. 10/10 from us.

We booked a table but on arriving at Zio's were told that they hadn't received our booking even though we had received a confirmation email. They then offered us a table, we sat down, they asked us to move, so we did, they then said we couldn't stay after all. It was embarrassing, and being a Friday evening, very hard to find anywhere else. It was a mistake, probably on their booking system, but there was no real apology or even interest in us. If you want to try Zio's, perhaps phone to check they have your booking! Or perhaps look at another restaurant.

Such an inviting atmosphere and delicious food. The gluten free pizza was incredible, unsurprisingly given the quality of the pizza oven they have. I would love to see some gluten free pasta options and to be honest was slightly disappointed that the gf pizza base was an additional £4, whilst I can understand they can be more expensive I’m coeliac and I feel it’s a shame to be penalised for something that is not you’re choice but maybe that’s me being picky. The restaurant is a bit limited in space but it creates an intimate and authentic experience. Already a great restaurant but if they modified elements to make its more suited to gluten free they could tap into a new market

This is one of my favourite spots in the whole of England for a relaxed, simple, tasty Italian meal. The pizza is very good, even for Italian standards - Gorgonzola and zio pizzas are top notch. The other dishes I tried - eg spaghetti alle vongole or spaghetti allo scoglio (no chilli for me) - are very good too. Staff is lovely; the restaurant is cozy and welcoming.. When I fancy a pizza or a simple Italian meal, I come here; and I come back over and over again.
