Zash Ristorante

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….

— FOOD — Had the estate tasting menu. The starter shrimp is good; the main course seabass is underwhelming. Overall, not an impressive one-star restaurant, overpriced. — SERVICE — Everyone was seated outside. There were many mosquitoes. To make it worse, a cockroach flew on our desk and drank our water. The waiter told me this is nature as we are in nature. That is a deal breaker for me.

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.

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

We had the 5 courses surprise menu last night at Zash and it was a mind blowing experience! Starting from the bread which I have never tasted better before to the amazing desert.. loved the presentation, flavours and service. We have been to many Michelin star restaurants in the UK and Italy and I think this is definitely one of the top 3. Only issue/ not really an issue was the amount of food ! I recommend not having lunch if you're planning dinner there. Million thanks to the amazing chef and staff

Had high expectations given the restaurant has a Michelin star but left quite underwhelmed. The food was good but nothing special, you can get the same quality in a down to earth trattoria anywhere in Sicily. The service was really bad, cold and distant. Not once were we asked if we liked the food, it felt like being served by robots. Save your money and go to a good traditional restaurant somewhere in a less touristy village.

Stunning from start to finish! After visiting 20+ Michelin establishments, this is definitely in my top 3. Service, food and quality were all fantastic, and I am very glad to have visited. Thank you team! 🙏

Place so peaceful! really good location, people so gentle
