Zio, the Italian word for "uncle," lends its name to the neighborhood Italian restaurant located in the Myers Park area of Charlotte, NC. Named in honor of owner, Jim Consol's late Uncle Adolph "Duff" Consol, Zio serves up authentic Italian recipes. With a family heritage from the Abruzzo province of central Italy, recipes are authentic, such as traditional thin-crust pizza, spaghetti arribbiatta and homemade pasta with slow-cooked meat sauce.
Consol's uncle established Duff's Restaurant and Tavern five decades ago in the Endicott area of upstate New York. You can still visit Duff's today. It has been renamed Consol's.
Zio continues the tradition of affordability and quality ingredients. It's a family run, neighborhood restaurant that feels like home. The restaurant also includes a full bar serving Italian and California wines and domestic, imported and micro-brewed beers.
Our philosophy is simple: To serve authentic Italian food in a friendly and casual setting, at a good value. Many of our recipes were brought over from Italy with my grandmother and have been enjoyed by our family for many years. Our family has also fed legion of patrons since 1946 at our upstate New York restaurant. So please relax and enjoy yourself and if we can do anything to make your visit with us more enjoyable, please ask. your comments and suggestions are always welcome.
