    Zio Cecio continues to be outstanding with food and service. We asked for a dish typically not on the menu, and it was prepared perfectly, as usual.

    Truly remarkable restaurant. Immediately greeted by Francesco, the owner. The decor and ambience is authentic Italian. He is from Sardinia as is the menu. The food is truly outstanding. The Mezzaluna Alla Fonduta is his own creation and has win international awards. The service made us feel like we were immediate friends. Wonderful experience

    Food and service are always consistent. We have been customers for many years. Francesca and server Joel always remember our favorite bottle of wine before we even order. That is great customer service!
