Description

Zio Cecio is a popular Italian restaurant in Dallas known for its excellent food but marred by inconsistent service. Some customers praised the delicious food prepared by Chef Francesco and the welcoming atmosphere. However, others complained about the slow service, inconsistent quality, and lack of attention from the staff. The restaurant's potential is evident, with top-notch dishes like Bolognese Fettuccine and limoncello cake receiving high praise. Ultimately, Zio Cecio seems to be a hit-or-miss dining experience depending on the night and the staff working.

Simply exceptional. Penne Del Contadino was out of this world. Margherita Pizza was delicious, with a thin, yet very satisfying, crust. Grandma’s Cheesecake was the perfect ending for a perfect meal. If the Executive Chef and Managing Partner looks veryserious while overlooking his dining room, it’s because his name is on the line (and he has one dozen years of a great name toprotect). Francesco Farris is an engaging and wonderful gentleman who loves what he does (and it shows in the quality of thefood and the service). Go. Quite simply. Go to Zio Cecio. You’ll be glad that you did!

Zio is amazing. The food is spectacular. We dine here often and every time the food blows us away with great flavors no matter what dish we pick. Favorites are the Beef Carpaccio, Bolognese, Pistachio seafood ravioli and any of the risotto dishes. Thefish is also fantastic. So good!!!

First time dining here, and it definitely won’t be my last. The entire experience was outstanding. The owner interacts with each table, and makes you feel like you’re at home. Highly recommend the Bolognese Fettuccine and the Chicken and Mushrooms.The limoncello Cake was like nothing we’d ever had.

Celebrated a month of no sugar with Limoncello cake! After a wonderful meal of fresh burrata, cioppino and a perfect ribeye, I was too full for dessert but only one bite was not enough. The desserts were so beautiful and delicious I didn't have time tosnap a picture before they were devoured. The atmosphere was romantic and the service was like coming home after a hard-dayswork to relax on the porch with friends.This isn't just a great meal it's a great experience.

My fiancé and I found this place by chance and it MADE our week, we can’t wait to return! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is lovely, the fresh air setting is wonderful, the people are so friendly and welcoming, the owner is a very kindman… I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! My fiancé lived in Italy for a while and was thrilled we foundthis place, he says it’s the real deal! I think he almost cried in joy over the lasagna! Definitely go to this place, youwon’t be disappointed!
