Zio Causal is easily one of the best Italian restaurants in Charlotte. The food is well cooked and done . To taste and the aroma is mouth watering. And for the price is insanely affordable in a nice cozy setting especially at night for a dinner . Feels like you on a date which I was . We both came here, Neither of us have been here before
Best thin margarita pizza in Charlotte, plus other delicious pizzas, Italian specialties, and salads. The good reasonable wine list, with half-price days! Nice patio! Fun music on Wednesday nights.
Our service was great and the food was delicious! Everything came out quickly and was hot and fresh. We can't wait to go back soon! We got the fried ravioli, a cheese pizza, house salad and chicken parm. It was all incredible. Highly recommend!

About Us
Our Philosophy is a simple one...
To serve authentic Italian fare in a friendly and casual setting, at a good value. Many of our recipes were brought over from Italy with our grandmother and have been enjoyed by legions of patrons since 1946 at our upstate New York restaurant. From our beloved pizza dough to our signature pasta, nearly everything in our restaurant is handcrafted, from scratch, every day! And whenever possible we use fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables from our on-site organic garden. We look forward to serving you, and from our family to yours...Bon Appetito!
The Garden
Here at Zio Casual Italian, we like to know where our food comes from and how it's handled so that we can guarantee the highest quality food for our families and yours! The Garden at Zio Casual Italian has grown from a few raised beds for herbs, to an ever-blooming ecosystem of fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, and more.
