Food
Zia Restaurant keeps a low profile from the street, reviewers mention it takes a little searching to find the entrance, but the two-floor dining room inside houses one of Rome's more highly regarded one-Michelin-star kitchens. A starter built around a simple mozzarella ball and sweet pepper draws particular praise, described as absolutely amazing and setting the tone for the rest of the meal, alongside a well-curated wine list. At 4.7 from 697 reviews, it ranks among the more consistently praised fine-dining spots in this batch, and one reviewer explicitly calls it among the best one-star restaurants they've visited anywhere. Its premium pricing and evening-only format suit a proper celebratory dinner.

What people say
"Hands down one of the best one-star Michelin restaurants I've been to. The mozzarella ball and the sweet pepper to start were absolutely amazing. The wine list was basically a book. The oyster and lettuce dish was super unique and memorable, especially because of the charred lettuce. And lastly, the service was so warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. Would recommend this place in a heartbeat."
