Zio marco زيو ماركو — Restaurant in Geziret al Zamalik, Jazirat al Zamalik

Updated :

I had an absolutely incredible experience at Zio Marco! From the moment I walked in, the stunning interior design set the perfect tone for an authentic Italian dining experience. The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, making it a wonderful spot for a relaxed meal or a special occasion.

The food is nothing short of perfection. Their fresh pasta is an absolute must-try, bursting with flavor and made with obvious care and skill. The Raviolo was sensational creamy, rich, and simply unforgettable. The Tagliatelle Alfredo was equally delightful, with a perfectly balanced, creamy sauce that made every bite pure joy. While the Cappuccino was average, it didn’t take away from the overall experience.

This place is a gem for Italian food lovers. If you’re looking for authentic flavors, great vibes, and a memorable dining experience, Zio Marco is perfectoooo! I’ll definitely be coming back.

"We recently visited Zio Marco Italian Restaurant, and while we didn't get the chance to dine there due to it being busy and crowded, we were impressed by the interior. The ambiance was inviting, with warm lighting and a rustic yet elegant design that immediately made us feel welcome. The decor featured beautiful wooden accents, cozy seating arrangements, and tasteful Italian-themed artwork that added to the authentic atmosphere. Despite not being able to sample the menu, the lively buzz of patrons enjoying their meals hinted at the restaurant's popularity and quality. We look forward to returning when it's less crowded to fully experience what Zio Marco...

One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever tried in a while, everything was perfect, but you have to make a reservation first because it's usually always full and there are only around 5 tables in the restaurant.

This is a 4 stars only because I found it a bit over priced to be honest, also because of the soup, we had the Mashroom soup but I didn't have enough time to take a picture, the bowl is really small and it's only full till half of it. It was really nice, fresh and tasty but the portion was annoying. You should definitely have this spinach chicken dish it's the best thing we had there and the best spinach chicken we had in a while, the sauce is very rich in taste, the chicken was juicy and very well cooked. Also if you like buttery Mashed potatos then you will adore this one... It was very tasty. The risotto was nice and creamy, the parmisan cheese made it more perfect and just right... This sea food salad makes you more hungry, it was a nice starter then when the food came we just didn't stop till we finish... You won't have any left overs to take away because portions are small or well calculated. A must try,, service was friendly and the owner comes to check how is everything going and if there are...

TL;DR: taste is not overwhelmingly fantastic but the portions are enormous and it's worth the try.

I had the formaggi (cheese) rissoto, was good with a lot of cheese but i wasnt amazed. Also had the mimosa filetto, i have to say the sauce (blue cheese, mascarpone, walnuts, butter and mashrooms) was the best part of it. My meat was a bit burnt at the bottom which was annoying.

All in all, i wouldnt say i was wowed by the taste of food, it was good and different but not great. Or maybe italian is just not my thing? Idk. It's totally worth the try tho.

They offer two free sides with the dishes, I had sides of french fries and widges that did not impress me at all and were mehish at best. Portions are so good, i was already full half way through my dishes. Place is small but the vibes, music, decor, and wall art are aesthetically pleasing. You do have to reserve before you go and they reserve the table for a...
