Zash In Riposto

We returned after three years, and the food remains excellent. The restaurant service suffered due to the number of guests, and unfortunately, there were some inattentiveness. The spa is intimate and comfortable. The room could be improved.

Testing menus were great and testy. Big plus when traveling with kids - kids menu.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ We went to Zash for the wedding reception of a very dear friend, and overall, it was a very nice experience, albeit with some reservations. What I liked: The location is truly enchanting: the atmosphere is romantic, with attention to detail, and a citrus grove that creates the perfect setting. (An old renovated winery, discreet elegance, modern elements integrated into the ancient.) The dishes are good, well-executed: the raw ingredients are evident, the preparation is meticulous, and the flavors are refined. The concept of the cuisine: you can just feel the temptation to combine tradition, local tradition, and a touch of creativity, modern techniques, and a balance of contrasts. What I did find a bit lacking, however: I didn't quite perceive a truly defined style: I expected a few more surprises, a few more daring combinations, something that would leave its mark and go a bit beyond technical perfection to go even further in terms of originality. The service had some small flaws, which I certainly wouldn't have noticed unless I was at a "starred" restaurant: the staff is friendly, but I had to point out several times that there was no water at the table, and that the table wasn't perfectly clean—things that in a restaurant of this caliber are perceived as important details (at least for me). The Total White dessert was truly unique and delicious, and the ventresca was superb! In conclusion: Zash remains an excellent choice if you want a refined atmosphere, carefully prepared dishes with fairly traditional execution, and a charming location for a special occasion. However, if your expectation is to leave "surprised" (not just satisfied), with memorable moments of taste or service, there are small areas for improvement.

Place so peaceful! really good location, people so gentle

Lovely surroundings at a beautiful boutique hotel - just alone the location makes you want to book this place to stay for next visit. The reviews on the restaurant lately are not correct. We enjoyed the food - it was lovely but I did not get the vibe of a 1 star vs a good local restaurant but solid cooking however felt the wine pairing was not on par. Unsure why it ask me to rate the rooms when I do a review of the restaurant….

Overall, the restaurant is relaxing and pleasant, with good food, but the service isn't up to the standard of a Michelin star. Waiters are inconsistent, they pay little attention to guests' needs, and they're slow to remove unwanted or empty plates. The table linens are also poorly cleaned, leaving crumbs and debris on the table for a long time. It's a shame, because the quality of the food deserves more attentive and professional service.

We stayed at this property using a package that included dinner and an overnight stay. We chose the Iconic Room, which was nestled in an orange grove. The room was wonderful, very modern, with a stunning view and a super comfortable bed. The hotel spa, although available, didn't particularly impress us. It was a bit small, and honestly, we've seen better facilities, but we can't complain about its amenities. The staff was extremely helpful, ready to accommodate any need. As for dinner, it was an exceptional experience. A Michelin-starred dinner consisting of five main courses plus two specials, each one better than the last. Each dish was a true journey of flavors. Breakfast the following morning was also wonderful, maintaining the high standard of the cuisine.

Perfection, everything in excellent taste and of the highest standard. Beautiful rooms with pool and sauna, Michelin-starred restaurant! Everything is top-notch, the only flaw (minor) is that too many trains pass by.

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.
