Gorgonia In Acireale

02/07/2025: Had a splendid experience at both of our meals at Zash Ristorante. As we were staying at the property, we were able to enjoy the full blown Michelin experience (ordered the 5 course chef’s surprise menu) on Monday evening followed by the pizza menu Tuesday (the restaurant’s “night off”) and both were stellar. Amazing views of the on-site orchard and sea in the distance. The five-course wound up being closer to 7 if you include the hefty bread course and amuse bouche which come with the order. Had some stellar Etna Bianco with both, great service and dining was five star across both very different meals. The tuna belly, ravioli and Pizza Norma were all huge hits and we trusted the Zash team to select amari and wine with little direction at both meals, and they didn’t miss.

02/05/2025: A truly exceptional place, a great Michelin-starred restaurant. A leader worthy of his reputation. Absolutely worth testing. The service is impeccable, the dishes delicious, delicate, subtle, surprising and flawless from start to finish. The bread is a real joy, the signature dish full of surprises and the desserts very accomplished. Thank you for this moment of happiness in your restaurant. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The Spa, very pleasant with swimming pool, sauna, hammam and à la carte massage. We really enjoyed our few days spent there. Small downside on access to the outdoor swimming pool, magnificent and very stylish but which was only accessible from the 2nd day because the hotel had not opened it on April 30 even though the weather allowed swimming. Second downside, the room is close to the railway tracks, from 5:00 a.m., you can hear the trains passing. However, we really enjoyed our stay.
