I mean, the bread sticks alone are worth the trip to eat here. Best bread sticks I have had anywhere....ever.

I had the fettuccine with salad. My husband had the spaghetti and meatballs. The breadsticks are AMAZING. They are worth the trip back. We have only heard amazing things about this place from my husband's friend/family. The sauce in the fettuccine was perfect. It was thick which is the best way to have it because then it sticks to the noodles. Definitely way better than olive garden not to mention the spaghetti is actually made with home made spaghetti sauce and not marina.

This is one of our family favorites. We love the bread sticks and stuffed shells. The side salad is very good, and I love the Classic Italian sandwich, too. Service can get a little pokey when they get busy, but just act like an Italian and chill .

Nice little restaurant tucked away in Chapel Ridge shopping center. A quiet location that serves up amazing Italian food. Must try the bread sticks! Only 1 so everyone can get their own order. The pasta is great too. Make sure to ask for the toasted ciabatta bread. Service is quick and friendly. Would recommend eating half your meal, getting a box, and then indulging on dessert. Would eat here again.

My family and I visited this location after a funeral. We had a very large group, that can be hard to manage, but our waitress (Melissa) was absolutely outstanding! She had a bright and uplifting personality, especially after the day we'd had. The food was amazing, they had plenty of wheelchair accessible space, and the overall atmosphere was inviting. Thank you guys for accommodating us on such short notice with such a positive attitude!

Our server was amazing. The food was served hot and quickly. Everything that I've tried on the Ziano's menu had been tasty and reasonably priced. I would also say that Zianos produces some of the most consistent bread sticks and pasta from trip to trip. I'm not sure if they were running a promotion, but our whole table walked away with a coupon for a free order of bread sticks for the next time we returned. Overall this is a restaurant that I could go to any time and enjoy myself without breaking the bank.
