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 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!

We had the 5 course tasting menu. The first 4 courses were essentially starters and the fifth was the main: which was odd, as there was no dessert included. The first four courses were stunning fusions of flavours, all sea food based: the fifth course - the main - was substantial but a bit of an anti climax after what had gone before. Service was excellent. Wine list was good and pleasantly reasonably priced. This is a small restaurant with maybe only 24 covers so booking is essential. Highly recommended.

If you know a thing or two about food, quality of preparation, quality of ingredients, quality of meat/fish, and are looking for a pleasant evening in a small restaurant, you've come to the right place.
Excellent wines, great service, and no rush. I can only recommend it.
I, we've had the pleasure of eating in many places around the world, and this restaurant is in our top 5. Why top 5? You can't make a comparison when you've eaten well, no, very well, in many places.
But here in Santa Margherita de Ligure, this was the best thing we've had by the sea in a long time.
The price/performance ratio is perfect.
Thank you for the wonderful evening.

If you're in Santa Margherita, you need to get yourself a table here. The quality and taste of the food is worth the money.

I always return to this place with great pleasure. The dishes are a new surprise every time. You can sense the research and quality of the products used. In a welcoming setting, the dishes prepared by chef Pasquale are a must-try. I've tried many restaurants in the area, but Zi Ninella stands out from the rest.
