Acqua Pazza In Santa margherita ligure

Had dinner in a family atmosphere, with pleasant background music. Excellent quality food, everything was delicious! Good table service. Thank you. Recommend. Must try. Thank you.

AMAZING food!!!!! We all ordered the tasting menu. Perfect portion size, very balanced flavors, creative combinations and very well prepared. RECOMMEND😍😍😍

I had the pleasure of dining at Zi Ninella Gourmet and was completely satisfied. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, perfect for a special evening or a moment to indulge in a gourmet experience. The location, in the village of Santa Margherita Ligure, just steps from the marina, adds an extra touch of charm. The menu is meticulously crafted: the ingredients are incredibly fresh, especially the fish, and the presentation is elegant. Each course demonstrates great attention to detail and creative touches. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is relaxed yet unique, making the experience truly enjoyable.

Ok wow, first off just go here don’t think just go. 2nd this place is so good it’s forcing me to write a proper review. Third, why are you not there now. We were first to arrive at 7:30 to an empty restaurant truly my first thought was uh oh it’s Saturday night and they are “slammed” but yet we are alone at 7:30. May I now say thank god we started alone. The chef and his family wife for sure and I think daughter with red dyed hair give their upmost attention, it might come across as abrasive but it is not. It is true care and attention to you bordering on Michelin / Asian excellence fitting as the wife is Thai. 2nd the wine list is splendid it’s big but not annoying so, and separated by regions, one can keep it affordable as I did 35€ a bottle for a delightful Chardonnay or you can open your wallet real wide and drop 650€ I like the versatility. Now with a place like this they are all but begging you (but not really) to get the tasting menu. We did, and oh my god, it was divine. It was as if it great seafood, some Italian and Thai Influences plus just a talented chef had a baby. And damn that baby is beautiful! I won’t go into crazy detail on food just trust me I eat a lot and this is in top 15 of my travels. The squid especially with Thai roots was damn good. I honestly might move to this town and if I do want to be friends with the chef and his wife. They are awesome! So the meal moves along at a proper pace never waiting more than 2-4 mins for next course and also the restaurant itself started to “fill” up tables of 2-4 people trickling in every 30 mins, which is key because this way each table gets the chef’s and his wife’s fullest attention. They know exactly what they are doing. I commented to his wife (the front of the house) that I saw on the menu that they had a steak with peppercorn sauce. A man who can cook seafood like this can surely cook a steak to die for. I asked to just sample the peppercorn sauce she obliged. Instead of the sauce I got two pieces of tuna bathed in the sauce to try it properly, it was amazing!! Two things I will become a regular here and 2nd just go, this place is a 1 or 2 star just in quality, kindness, taste, and love alone. 10 stars! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

We had dinner last night at Zi' Ninella in Santa Margherita, and the experience was truly excellent. I chose this restaurant based on the photos of the dishes I saw online—and I must say I wasn't wrong: the cuisine is truly top-notch. The dishes are meticulously crafted, both in presentation and flavor. I tried the pasta with lobster (pictured), a rich, balanced, and perfectly executed dish: the pasta was cooked al dente, the sauce was flavorful yet delicate, and the lobster was incredibly fresh and melted in your mouth. Friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere, and genuine attention to the quality of the ingredients. A must-visit for those who love good food and want to enjoy a special evening in Santa Margherita.

The best experience on the entire Ligurian coast! A heartfelt thank you to the chef and especially his wife Kwanchanita, also know as Da, for their warm welcome and the exceptional quality of the food. Truly unforgettable, we will definitely be back!

We had a really great food evening at Zi’ Ninella’s. We were lucky to have gotten a table and the food Asian Italian Ligurian was really delicious and well presented. Service and local wine recommendations were well paired with our dinner.

The culinary highlight of my vacation. Flawless preparation and execution. Exceptional restaurant! It's worth the detour. I highly recommend it.

The Zi'Ninella restaurant is exceptional, above Novecento at the Hotel Imperiale. It serves extremely refined and creative cuisine based on raw or cooked fish and shellfish. The wine list is remarkable. Finally, the welcome is very Zen. It is surely the best address in Santa Margherita Ligure.

Best restaurant in the area! The man in the kitchen makes us dream, the woman in the dining room takes us on a journey. A place not to be missed!
