About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
Over two decades ago we were inspired to create a restaurant that welcomes, entertains and nourishes our customers the Italian way, like family. Known to the locals as Zia's, this quaint neighborhood restaurant is located just blocks from the Chesapeake Bay, nestled in the heart of Chic's Beach. Specializing in authentic Italian cuisine, the chalkboard menu features an array of flavorful chicken, veal, beef and seafood dishes made with the freshest ingredients. Weekly additions of seasonal fair, featured wines, and homemade desserts bolster more traditional menu selections. Family and friends enjoy casual dining with great food, a well rounded wine list, and specialty martinis at an excellent value. Salute!

    Having grown up in Brooklyn with a plethora of great Italian neighborhood restaurants It’s hard to meet those expectations. We had the stuffed eggplant based on recommendations from diners reviews. I found to be a much heavier dish than it needs to be because they bread the eggplant before they fry it which in my opinion, is unnecessary. We also had the chicken piccata and sadly, lemon overwhelmed the dish and there was no hint of wine that could be detected. The dish was served with a side of pasta and the addition of seasoned breadcrumbs was nice texturally but it needed more garlic and black pepper. We started our meal with calamari, which was very tender and was accompanied by a very nice marinara sauce. The staff was very friendly, the portion sizes are large and clearly a value as you are likely to leave with sufficient food for another meal. One of the dishes that was somewhat disappointing was linguine with clam sauce (white). This was the only time I’ve ever had this dish where fresh clams in their shells was not how the dish was served but chopped clams (likely canned) were served instead. Overall, a decent meal at a price point significantly lower than some of the more fine dining Italian establishments in the area and easy enough to enjoy when you’re hungry and in the mood for Italian food in a casual setting.

    Great food and service. The lasagna dish is exceptional and the caprice salad is the best in town. Highly recommended!

    The food was absolutely incredible. We ordered 3 appetizers and each one was delicious. Best calamari ever! Collette was the perfect server. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The entrees were abundant and delicious as well. Can't wait to go back.
