Zia Maria's Caffe

Zia Maria's Caffe is an Italian café serving authentic coffee, Italian pastries, gelato, paninis, sandwiches and salads. Reviewers single out the pistachio ricotta cake and the apple pie gelato, and the bagel sandwiches are made with bagels from The Bronx. The owner opened the café to honor her parents, who were born and raised in Italy, and the menu leans on those family traditions.

The café takes online orders for pickup and reserves tables for groups and parties. It also offers catering for birthdays, holiday parties, corporate events and weddings. Breakfast and lunch are served on weekdays, and the café is open Saturday morning as well. It is located on East Moody Boulevard in Bunnell.
