Visited this location as a last meal before heading off to college. The service was excellent, all of the staff were incredibly welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. As a party of 9, we made a reservation, but the restaurant was pretty sparse, and quiet, so conversation amongst the table was easy. We got a fabulous seat at the window, with a full view of the Marina.
The food service felt more like a premium meal, with bread being offered in the beginning, and because we ordered appetizers, those being served as a first course along with drinks. My relatives ordered some drinks, including cocktails and wine, and enjoyed them. I personally ordered a bowl of clam chowder as an appetizer, and it was very good. Only offered on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as soup of the day, it had an almost cheesy taste, more like a hint of Alfredo sauce, but a good balance of broth to body. As a main course, I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. It was fantastic, and very creamy. The chicken was well-cooked, with a little bit of crunch due to some ingredient as a coating. The rest of the table also said they enjoyed their meals immensely.
Very nice restaurant, would definitely visit again.

Celebrated mom in law’s birthday, and the service was impecable. Appetizers, Red Velvet Cake and Port wine were amazing. However, I expected my carbonara to be made with egg yolks instead of heavy cream. Nevertheless, a beautiful experience.

Food was as usual disappointing ! Their catering is sub par! Dry chicken, dry potato’s, no flavor pasta!!! They have great location so Vallejoans use this place for functions but the food is terrible , for $35/ meal you should get food with flavor

They have a wonderful location with a lively bar area and wonderful views of the water ways and Mare Island. The food is always dependable, but not spectacular. But with that said I have been here many times and will go again. The service is always great. They’ve got a wonderful group of folks working there. It’s a great spot to dine at before or after getting your wine fix at Vino Godfather on Mare Island.

We had a great view by the water. Food was delicious. Nice ambience. I had the Chicken Parm…and my husband had Gnocchi Pesto & added Salmon. Ashley was awesome! Professional, courteous and made some great drinks. I would definitely recommend Zio Fraedos.

Had dinner here last Friday, 05/20/22 and I’m so happy Zio survived the pandemic. This is one of my family’s favorite restaurant to go to for special occasions. This restaurant has a beautiful look inside & out. For starters we ordered the Calamari Fritti & Ahi Tuna Tartare. If you like raw fish, I recommend you start off with that! Then, I tried their Beet Salad…it was good but the salad was so drenched in the balsamic dressing I couldn’t finish my salad as much as I wanted too. In the future, I probably will ask for the dressing on the side. As for our entrees, I had their special which was the Prime Rib w/mashed potatoes & vegetables. My husband had the Chicken Gordon Bleu. Both dishes were delicious!! We ended our meal with a decadent cheesecake…Love this place!
05/28/22 – Had to go back and get the Beet salad w/ the dressing on the side..

The worse service ever. This woman pretends to be friendly but she is super rude and sarcastic. If this woman is serving you please be very skeptical. She yelled at me for asking bread for my pasta. She said that bread was not included and that I needed to pay for that. I agreed to that because I just wanted bread for my pasta. Bread never came and when I asked for it again about 20 minutes later she become very angry and said they were out of bread. The only thing she cared about was the tipping. She stayed next to me and kept looking at me when I was writing the tip. Very rude.

Nice spot by the waterfront and the municipal marina. The menu is very traditional and diverse. Overall the staff is friendly and helpful. The decor is a bit dated but comfortable enough. There is a huge parking lot, which is fairly well lit at night time.
