Zia's Social — well-regarded italian in Jefferson Park. Clean, design-forward interior throughout. There's real intention behind the cocktail list, and works for larger parties.

“The outdoor space was beautiful and nicely done, but sometimes when it’s windy, it’s not easy to eat and the food can get cold quickly”
Went here for brunch and was dissatisfied with the taste and the service.
Waited about 20 minutes for a welcome even after seeing the server tend to two tables.

“Zia’s is a Northwest Chicago favorite of mine.”
Zia’s is a Northwest Chicago favorite of mine. They have THE BEST crispy Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had. I’ve come back just to order these only, so good I even tried to recreate it at home. Pizza options are good. Carbonara in a Jar is a delicious creamy pasta which I’ve now ordered twice. I always like to bring new people here because you can never go wrong here. They have a huge restaurant, indoor, outdoor, and covered outdoor space during colder months. There is always seating available and they seem to do really well hosting large groups/parties. I’ve also been for brunch once, the menu is simpler plus they have a bottomless mimosa option. Service is always spectacular. I’ll be back again and again.

The outdoor space was beautiful and nicely done, but sometimes when it’s windy, it’s not easy to eat and the food can get cold quickly. There’s a big outdoor section and you have choices of where to sit where there’s more light or more wind and more exposure, but they also have umbrellas, which are very helpful. The food was very good, especially the lasagna that was individually done and made from scratch and inside an individual cast iron pan. The portion was amazing and it’s wonderful if you’re starving. Otherwise you can have a leftovers. The fish special for bass was really good after we asked them to make it simple without the sauce. It came out way too salty the first time. And for $30, We didn’t think it was worth it because the fish wasn’t very plump or juicy and there wasn’t a lot of fish. The sausages and peppers were very good and tasty and fresh. The drink was very good. The wait staff were very attentive. There is Free Parking on the street if you can find it and it wasn’t that difficult to find. There is no private parking lot. Overall, it’s a beautiful and big restaurant and the food is very good. They have chewy Italian bread on the house that comes with grated Parmesan cheese and some vinegar, flavored vegetable vegetables, and olives.

“My friends and I wanted to celebrate New Year's and we landed on Zia's Social.”
My friends and I wanted to celebrate New Year's and we landed on Zia's Social. We made reservations and were able to get seated right away, and we were quickly served. We began with drinks, and the Shirley Temples were delicious. For appetizers, we got truffle fries which were alright and for our main we got a New Years Special which were these lobster pasta pillows and they were SO GOOD and a margherita pizza which was pretty good too (just very cheesy!!). We got served our food very quickly despite it being busy. For desert we got the lava brownie which was really gooey and delicious and the banana split tacos which were amazing. I would highly reccomend the desserts!! The vibe was amazing- they had a DJ and fun New Years hats and other little things and even a dance floor! I would definitely recomend this place for the vibe and pretty inexpensive, good food!

“Zia’s Social is awesome.”
Zia’s Social is awesome! Great spot to grab a drink and dinner! The appetizers, entrees, beer selection, and cocktails are all great. Good spot to have a nice Italian dinner! Decent sized venue. Always have had a nice time when ate here! I have ate here a bunch of times! They have an upstairs can rent out for parties or events. Street parking but it isn’t tough to get.

“Delicious Italian food on the NW side of Chicago/edge of Park Ridge.”
Delicious Italian food on the NW side of Chicago/edge of Park Ridge. The lasagna is HUGE and authentic. Wonderful salad selections for starters. Save room for dessert and get the banana split taco, but don't forget to have a friend with you to help you finish it. 😳

“Very nice holiday ambiance and open atmosphere with a lot of candles and unique decor.”
Very nice holiday ambiance and open atmosphere with a lot of candles and unique decor! Our server was really friendly and did not rush us at all! Fresh warm hot bread with crunchy crust to start the meal is always a great start to any meal. I appreciated/enjoyed the many options for salads and the cauliflower one was excellent with pistachios and roasted peppers! They gave a lot of great appetizers and entrees too. I would go back for a larger meal and to try pasta next time. Good portions and prices too, surprising for the area!
