From The Chicago Tribune Dining Guide:

"Bright awnings, fancy signs and valet parking add polish to this short stretch of Northwest Highway, anchored...by Zia’s Trattoria where chef Joseph Calabrese turns out such upscale fare as pancetta-wrapped pork tenderloin."

From Andrew Fegelman of the Chicago Tribune:

"Neighborhood folks used to be the only ones who knew and appreciated the exceptional eating experience here...Edison Park and Zia's have been discovered."

From Chicago Reader:

"Zia's Trattoria in Edison Park is a pleasant surprise. For those who have occasion to be in the far NW outreaches of the city, or are willing to make the trip, this is a real "sleeper."...The dining areas are quietly and tastefully decorated, and the cuisine has a sophistication and flair that can hold its own with rooms in the Taylor Street or Halsted Theater areas, while still maintaining a modest bottom line."

From Metromix.com:

"Truly (an) outstanding value! Hazelnut Crusted Halibut is truly incredible! Zia Pena salad and the asparagus salad are both outstanding... The staff was very friendly and water was quickly refilled without having to ask. We stayed and had a drink in the bar and had a blast! Side note - great place for entertaining guests. My husband looks forward to taking clients there regularly."

"Zia's was suggested by a friend of mine who lives in the area. To sum it up...FABULOUS!!...I've visited Italian restaurants in every corner of the city, and this one is rated at the top. Staff is attentive, prices reasonable, atmosphere is very, very nice and the food is excellent!"

"Easily the BEST Italian restaurant in Edison Park and one of my top 5 favorites in the whole city of Chicago...Be sure to take a good look at the specials if you go - Chef Joe does amazing things with fish!! Of course don’t overlook the everyday menu."

From CenterStage.com:

"Zia's is our favorite restaurant. The food is wonderful, presented beautifully, and service is always great...a must..."

From 10Best.com:

"At Zia's, the stresses of the day seem to melt away, much like the savory pasta dishes that abound. Lunch and dinner finds this dining room brimming with activity as wait staff bustle from kitchen to table and back bearing plates loaded with goodies like ravioli di zucca (squash-stuffed ravioli), beef tenderloin filled with herb cheese, and veal saltimboca served with a side of gnocchi..."
