The closest you’re going to get to a fabulous Italian vacation this year is a trip to Zia’s Lago Vista, and that might just be the mini getaway you need to perk up your spirits. Zia’s Lago Vista models itself after a classic Italian trattoria, and a brunch or dinner there will make you feel like you’re in a different time and place. Enjoy authentic specialties like pizzas, fresh pastas, and expert entrees prepared with simple ingredients and thoughtful accompaniments. Many folks opt to get the daily fish special. It changes so frequently that you likely won’t be able to get it more than once. Zia’s Lago Vista also boasts a lovely weekend brunch with bottomless mimosas or bloody marys for just $15 with your meal. An outdoor seating area is available for safer dining, and the team can also prepare catering menus for larger gatherings. Once you visit, you’ll be planning an occasion to use the rustic-yet-chic space for your next event.

Be sure to make a reservation on the website, and preview the menu (including the extensive wine list) to get your mouth watering for your tiny vacation to come.
