Full description

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.
