da Zia Maria in Illnau-Effretikon

Very warm, family atmosphere. Very good food, great service.

Simple atmosphere in an industrial area, but very warm, friendly and caring. Delicious pizzas, excellent homemade pasta and fair prices. We went there spontaneously because we didn't feel like cooking ourselves and didn't regret it.

Fantastic pasta, delicious pizza and very nice service!

Thank you Maria and Salvatore 🤩

Typical Italian restaurant with a lot of warmth and good food. Simply great!

Top service and very friendly and warm owners. The food was very good. Would love to come back.

The pizzas are also excellent at the new location and are unrivaled anywhere! It's always worth a visit - not least because of the very friendly and warm service.

-Very good food -Service very friendly -fair prices -will go there again

Top Italian cuisine and service It was a pleasure

Yesterday 8.3.2024 your evening organized for the occasion of Women's Day was a real success. I spent a splendid evening with you in excellent company. Your location is very comfortable and welcoming. The menu was delicious. Congratulations to all of you. I will happily return.

Excellent pizza and friendly and quick service. A pizza was easily put together for my colleague according to his wishes.

When you enter this restaurant you feel like you are in Italy. The food was incredible, great location and great service. Highly recommended👏

Excellent pizza! Very, very friendly and attentive service and kitchen staff. We will definitely come back.

Very friendly and courteous service. Best pizza in the region! Mille Grazie Salvatore

Great service with the best pizza far and wide :-) always happy to come here. Thank you Salvatore

Top food, friendly staff, individual, personal support from the owner couple 😃

grazie mille x la bella serata. The service, the food and the hospitality were top♥️

Very welcoming and the pizza delicious

Super friendly company 😁 Pizza is super delicious

very warm and friendly staff and a super delicious pizza👍

Great pizza. Courteous service. Dessert and coffee are great!

Excellent pizza, family atmosphere, friendly staff 👌🍕😊.

Very good food, especially the pizzas are very tasty, but also the pasta dishes (homemade pasta). I've been there 3 times so far, always at lunchtime, always great. The service is also very friendly, I can only recommend the restaurant. Tip: there are always a lot of guests at lunchtime, so a table reservation is an advantage. And that brings us to the only SMALL negative point: due to the many guests, it is always very loud and the seating is cramped during lunchtime. If you don't like that, you might have to visit the restaurant in the evening, maybe it will be a little quieter then. But that's just a guess. But this small negative point is made more than insignificant by the positive points. Grazie e alla prossima.

Amazingly good pizza and pasta. Super tasty. Unfortunately, beer is missing from the menu and how about providing breadsticks or some bread while you wait? Service very friendly. Atmosphere more Italianita needed.. Flag etc., pictures of Italian stars e.g

Perfect pizza and service Locally still a bit sterile

Just really really really good! The food is wonderful, the service is warm and the ambience is pure Italian! Thank you for the great evening! We will be back!

Very good pizza & attentive service - friendly & family atmosphere - we'll be happy to come back

We spontaneously went out for something to eat on a Friday evening. And what can you say, it was great all around! The service was friendly and warm. And the meal afterwards was simply brilliant. I have rarely eaten such a fine pizza and found the different variations particularly remarkable. From classics to specialties where the combinations are finely tuned. I would be happy to come back and enjoy another cozy evening in Italian cuisine.

A very good Italian pizza....number 1.

Absolute best pizzeria and trattoria! 100% Italian! Food was amazing!

Authentic Italian restaurant, fine pizza made from our own, very original recipes. Wonderful, friendly hosts. A visit is always worthwhile.

Definitely right up there and one of the best pizzas I've ever had in the Zurich area. A real Italian, with only Italian staff and products ♥️

Very good pizza at a good price 👍🏻 service very nice! Delicious pizza in a nice atmosphere ☺️

Highly recommended, uncomplicated and very good food.

I recommend the Italian appetizer and ravioli with butter, sage and parmesan... all fresh and very good...

Very fine food and real hospitality! :) TOP!

Top pizza, top atmosphere, top value for money

The food is delicious and the service is lovely! Highly recommended.

Very personable and friendly! Warm hosts. Uncomplicated and authentic.

I felt like going to Zia Maria today, so I called there to reserve a table. Said and done. Well... When I got there and the host asked for the table and he sort of showed me the table, I had a very bad and at the same time a disappointing feeling. Because the table wasn't set up, I had to set the cutlery at the table correctly. Incomprehensible. The chairs were also full of dirt and dust. We chose menu 2 Pollo con cima di Rabe and pasta and as a starter una Caprese con buffala for 4 people. Probably a wrong decision for excellence! Some of the supposedly homemade pasta is still completely raw. The quantity also leaves something to be desired. Overall not satisfactory and the price of CHF 174 is beyond good and bad.

If you are looking for a true Italian food experience look no further. The pizza was really good and they also make real italian carbonara which was delicious and is almost impossible to find in Switzerland. Such high standards and pursuit of quality was an unexpected but really appreciated surprise. Highly recommended.

Sensational pizza 😋 Boss very nice and friendly. Bella Italia. Viva Polonia 😉😁🙏

As always, everything was very good!

Very polite and courteous, ordered delivered and eaten quickly. Very welcome.

Very nice pizza, you can also add your own wishes! Nice and courteous service! We'd love to come back... Thank you

We were able to celebrate the baptism of the girls with Maria and Salvatore. They opened especially for us on Sunday and conjured up a menu alla Italiana: among other things, a very fine lasagna and a delicious arrosto with grilled vegetables. We had a wonderful family celebration and were able to enjoy la dolce vita. Italianità in Effretikon - GRAZIE!

My absolute favorite pizzeria in Effi. In addition to the menu, there are also several daily recommendations from the boss. Special requests such as mussels or steaks are also possible, but you should reserve 2-3 days in advance, so you can get it freshly prepared that day.

The pizza was fine just a little small. Any time

Very nice restaurant, the dishes are excellent. Good service from the restaurant owner. I recommend

Top authentic italian cuisine, great service, always again!!!

Best pizza I had in Switzerland. Nice atmosphere and very friendly owners.

Small, quiet and super delicious pasta & pizza (authentic Italian). And super nice service! We'd love to come back.

Very nice owners. Really very good food.

The pizza was really cool! Absolutely to suggest! I'll come back when I'm nearby!

Salvatore and his wife are wonderful hosts with passion. The pizzas are unique. Very familiar, a presto

Small cozy restaurant The pizza was exceptionally good and really special (pizza of the day with piglets) It's definitely worth a visit

The best Italian in Switzerland. Here we cook and serve with love. Homemade pasta and pizza, and always special specialties such as pizza bianca con porchetta. You immediately feel like you're on vacation! A cozy chat with the innkeeper is of course part of the visit. Our children are also thrilled every time

Da Zia Maria is always worth a visit. It really doesn't get any more Italian than this. The pizza is sensational and the other dishes are also prepared with a lot of love. That's how it should be, and we're always happy to come back - to eat there or to take away

Small, warm and quiet Italian restaurant. A lot of things are homemade, e.g. tagliatelle and Bolognese sauce. It was very delicious. 👌 Highly recommended. Thank you.

I am thrilled by the very good and authentic food! The service was great. I can only recommend it.

Very good pizza, the dough is super tasty and the pizzaiolo is very friendly :-) I've been there twice within a week and I'll always be back!!

The food was very good! Friendlier and faster service.

Best Cabonara eaten in a long time Staff very welcoming Pizza TOP!!!!!

After my first visit to Zia Maria, it was clear to me: This is my new favorite pizzeria. The best pizza far and wide (for me personally, the best I've ever eaten in Switzerland) and the owners are warm, authentic and Italian through and through. People enjoy going here and are welcomed. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

delicious Italian food, great every time: pasta, ravioli and pizza are top. If you wish, you will receive warm advice. Very few people, but a pleasant situation to have conversations, highly recommended.

We like to have lunch here, it's always good, friendly and uncomplicated.

Simple but very good Italian cuisine. Feel free to stop by again and again.

We had a great girls' evening. Very friendly staff, the pizza was excellent, airy and light in different variations. We would be happy to come back at any time. Many thanks to the entire staff. See you soon 🥰

What a wonderfully authentic place! Like in bella Italia :-)) fantastic pasta and great pizza. Plus warm hosts, what more could you want...Mille Grazie

The food is fantastic and the two hosts are very attentive and friendly. We love it, it's always absolutely top❣️highly recommended😊

Small, friendly restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. The food was very tasty, from the salad to the dessert. Great child-friendly hosts! We'd love to come back.

Had a very good meal today in a small Italian restaurant in Effretikon👍😀

Owner authentic and very personable. Typically Italian. Food tip top. Homemade pasta. Very fine pizza.

Great pizze for Swiss standards.. and very nice italian style service!

Wonderful pizza with a healthy taste! Cozy atmosphere and very nice staff! Simply recommended!

Friendly, authentic, small pizzeria. Super fine pizza dough.

Delicious pizza with fresh ingredients & delicious dough! The tables are a bit wobbly, but a friendly solution was found.

Too bad...we thought better, given that from Puglia to Puglia we asked them for a good carbonara...it's not the fault of the managers but by now they have become so integrated with Swiss-German cuisine that they have forgotten good Italian cuisine, perhaps we should have imagined it and it was better to go to eat two cervelat....however kind and clean place

The small, inconspicuous restaurant is just a stone's throw from Effretikon train station and is run by a friendly, older couple. We had unnecessarily reserved a table for three as we were the only guests that evening, but we really appreciated that. The service was friendly and of course the number of guests was quick. And the most important point: the food. We ordered 2x pizzas (Margherita and Proscutto e Gorgonzola) and a portion of pasta carbonara. The food was good and we enjoyed it. The homemade pasta is certainly worth mentioning. Conclusion: a quiet and cozy evening with good and classic dishes in a pleasant environment where you don't have to shout at each other to be able to have a normal conversation.

Super fine food & the best service ever 👌 ❤️ 🙏 🇮🇹

Very small and cozy, and the food is very good👍

Italian atmosphere in the middle of Switzerland, friendly staff, child-friendly, family-style with a heart pizza surprise for the kids. We'd love to come back, small but nice.

Small but nice, very authentic restaurant. The service is attentive and courteous. You feel welcome as a guest. There were two of us and we both ordered a pizza (4 stagioni and 4 formaggi). As a starter I had the Caprese con Bufala. Everything is very tasty and at extremely fair prices.

We felt very comfortable. Very nice service, very good Italian cuisine. Homemade ravioli 😋😋😋. We'll be back, soon. Thank you 🤩

Extremely tasty pizza with friendly service.

For me the best pizzas in Effretikon. Especially the special ones with truffle

Friendly staff, fresh food and a cute restaurant!

We went to Zia Maria's again today to eat a "pizza". Eating pizza regularly is a given for me as the son of a Neapolitan. What is very important here is that it is not just a pizza but it has to be a 100% Italian pizza. Thanks for your pizza. We will be back.

Super fine pizzas. Friendly staff, completely uncomplicated processes.

Very tasty pizza (super fine dough and ingredients) and you can see and notice that it was made with love. Such warm hosts. Feels like Italy. I'd love to come back.

Super good food. Exceptionally good ingredients without a lot of frills. Very authentic.

Celebrated our wedding aperitif at Da Zia Maria on March 12th. From ordering to payment, simply TOP. Apero exactly as discussed, Italian specialties at their best. So, not only the best pizza, but also the best aperitif for occasions, just for Zia Maria!

Very fine food, everything fresh and homemade. Super friendly service from the owner couple himself. Restaurant is small but nice. Very centrally located near the train station.

One of the best pizzerias north of the Alps!

Let's try to keep the restaurant alive by serving the customers with fresh food even when they come for pick up , i told at the phone that I come for pick-up in 15 min ,exactly in 15min I was in front of the restaurant, today my pizza 🍕 was cold and we buy also a piece of cake which was still frozen...if I want to eat an cold pizza and frozen cake I go to COOP and buy frozen ones

Best pizza far and wide. And above all, a great atmosphere with great hosts. It didn't initially make much of an impression from the outside. But after just a few minutes in the restaurant you feel like you're on a short trip to Italy. We recommend.

Very good food at an acceptable price. Male service very friendly, the female could still work on it a bit.

Seit langem waren wir wieder mal Pizza essen und sind vollends zufrieden nach unserem Besuch im einfach eingerichteten, aber sehr familiären Lokal. Die Pizzen schmeckten ausgezeichnet und der Service vom Chef persönlich war vorzüglich. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt und die Qualität der Produkte ist erste Klasse. Fazit: Ein Besuch beim Italiener ist absolut sehr zu empfehlen! Wir waren in allen Belangen begeistert und werden sicher wieder kommen. :-)

Very good pizza!! Like in Italy

Homemade pasta at its finest, very fine salad dressing! World-class Salsiccia and Homemade Tiramisu...Original Italia at its finest!
