  Had to visit a nearby clinic and stumbled across this cosy restaurant with a romantic fireplace. Came here again a week later because the food is so delicious. So far my partner and I have tried the duck risotto, mushroom + truffle risotto, fish of the day and white chocolate mousse. I have no doubt the other food on the menu will also taste amazing. Very enticing menu! Food came out slightly slow but definitely worth the wait, the detail and taste is spot on, customer service was lovely on both visits! Thank you so much.

  Impeccable food, service to match. Cosy atmosphere. A must especially for those special occasions. Pre-order the chocolate souffle you won’t be sorry.

  zio’s very cozy interior and warm ambience in a double story victorian terrace are a few of the restaurant’s elements that complemented our dining experience here last night.

  we had their six-course degustation for dinner, and the flavouring and presentation of the food were wonderful. i must say i particularly enjoyed the truffle and mushroom risotto and the macadamia honey semifreddo dessert that was paired with almond prline and tuile a lot!

  service was quick but i have to mention that one of the waiters asked us a few too many questions regarding our reservation of 6 people, and we felt that he wasn’t too happy that a few of our guests arrived less 5 minutes later than us. other than that, great dining experience and their food is highly recommended!

  Three of us enjoyed a very pleasant night out at this double storey Victorian terrace with a warm ambience and good service. The food was well presented and of good quality plus a great wine list

  Dined here about 18 months ago and it was good, and again yesterday and it was GREAT! The place was significantly better this time around so I asked. It’s now under new management and the service proves it. The degustation menu is superb, portions are significant and service is spot on. Met the chef, Nick, who’s lovely and dedicated! Highly recommend visiting this little East Melbourne gem. Make sure you try the duck and vegetable consume, and the ross river barramundi with sweet potato and asparagus! Yum! Decent wine list, which wasn’t over-priced.

  We ate at this restaurant last Saturday. Had been there several times in the past when the food was excellent but this was before new owners took over. We were a party of 9 that had booked for 6.30pm. Had to ask for food menu after waiting 20 minutes. Entrees took a long time to come out but for those who had not ordered an entre, waiting 2 hrs for a main was unacceptable. When they did arrive, every meal was cold. Yes they were busy but having only 2 waiters to serve a room full of people did not work. Obviously the kitchen was understaffed as well. A couple of us had the grandmarnierduck which came on orange polenta. The polenta was like a piece of cardboard. We won’t be going back.

  The restaurant was very busy and the waiters were very apologetic. We didn’t mind waiting while they reset our table, waited again for a drinks list, waited again for a menu. Scallops were cooked well but tasteless, nothing to them. Seafood linguini was nice but nothing special. We won’t be back. Also, I think it was the new owner wondering around the restaurant in his hooded tracksuit? Not very appropriate for a fine dining restaurant.
