Zia Restaurant

"There are plenty of trattorias around Trastevere, but when nothing but a fancy tasting menu will do, Zia is your best bet. It’s one of the rare fine dining places where you’ll want to go for fewer courses since the portions are so rich and satisfying. One standout is the tender filet of peppery steak, atop a smooth hazelnut purée and drizzled with sesame vinaigrette, alongside crusty bread served warm with incredible butter. Like other Serious Tasting Menu Restaurants, the atmosphere is exceptionally quiet, and the waitstaff has a knack for appearing right when you need them. Their wine list has an impressive selection of bottles—the last time we were there, we tried a rare 1998 vintage white wine from just outside the city that shockingly paired perfectly with every dish (yes, even that peppery steak)." - Annie Replogle

"Zia is a restaurant in Rome's Trastevere neighborhood, awarded one Michelin Star for its exceptional culinary offerings and inviting atmosphere." - The MICHELIN Guide

"A young chef of undoubted talent is at the helm of this restaurant situated behind the busier, more tourist-frequented streets of Trastevere. The chef in question is Antonio Ziantoni (hence the name of the restaurant), who creates imaginative cuisine that is nonetheless based on solid classic foundations – this gives his dishes structure, solidity and real appeal, as well as full and rounded flavours. One of the most interesting Michelin-starred restaurants in Rome." - Michelin Inspector

"Run by chef Antonio Ziantoni, this restaurant is part of the new One Star selection." - Le Guide MICHELIN
