Zia Rome

Zia sits on Via Goffredo Mameli. The restaurant holds one Michelin star and ranks no. 26 on the 50 Top Italy list of grandi ristoranti.

Most Roman dining in this area uses the traditional trattoria model to pull in foot traffic, but Zia avoids the trope. By focusing on contemporary Italian cooking, it offers a sharp departure from the rustic heavyweights nearby. The room runs smart and elegant, feeling more like a private residence than the boisterous eateries you pass on the twenty-minute walk from the historic center. It provides the city’s culinary pedigree without the familiar scenery of the tourist trail.
