We wish we had diner here ever night. The people and atmosphere were wonderful. Please visit. Salvatore and Peppion. They were amazing! Many people in Italy were not welcoming but they were so fun. Must visit! read more

Staff is very friendly and the food and ambience was excellent. We had the gnocchi alla sorrentina which was absolutely amazing, ravioli was delicious, and the pasta with fruita dei mare was equally excellent. I wish I took a picture for this review because it looked beautiful as well, but we started eating before I could get my camera out. Then I couldn't stop. read more

One of the best meals of our trip to Italy ! The perfect location, the views of Sorrento are spectacular. read more

Great pastas. Highly recommend the lobster and spaghetti as well as clams and spaghettini. Calamari is great appetizer. Fantastic view. However even though on water you don't see sunset. Much chiller fishing cove than Sorrento's beach front. read more

Zi'Ntonio Mare - Branzino cooked in salt - Italian Near Me - Sorrento, NA

See all

Great location right on the water but the food is very average unfortunately. Place was recommended to us by a hotel employee (which is normally the first kiss of death), so we gave it a try. First course wife and I ordered some grilled vegetables and the frutti di mare with homemade pasta, a house specialty. The grilled vegetables were simply grilled eggplant and zucchini, meh. The frutti di mare was decent but the pasta was definitely overcooked, which was really disappointing. The dish had some mussels and clams but paled in comparison to some other seafood pastas we've had during our time in Italy. Main courses included a salt baked local white fish, which was presented table side, and a veal dish with tomato, mozzarella and basil on top. The fish was served by itself and was cooked well but desperately need a lemon wedge or something to spruce it up. The veal was just bland. No seasoning on anything from the meat itself, the sauce, the cheese and the tomato. I had to pound it with some salt to bring out any flavor in the dish. Had a nice bottle of local white for about 20 euros. Overall the bill was 80 euros. It's very frustrating to waste a meal on mediocre food in a country like Italy where the food culture is so prevalent. read more

I gave this cute little restaurant 3 stars for it's location, free shuttle service to and from our hotel and the table-side fish presentation. Otherwise...eh. Service was, well, weird. Not bad, not good, but a little unfriendly and very unorganized, starting with the shuttle driver, to the hostess then the wait staff. It was very cool watching one of our servers clean my white fish at our table and the marina setting was pleasant. Overpriced for less than a "full package" dining experience. read more

Zi'Ntonio Mare - Italian Near Me - Sorrento, NA

Went in June 2013 with two families / 11 people total, 5 of which were young teens. Nice outdoor setting on the water, recommended by the Hilton Palace concierge. The waiter started off by pushing appetizers very hard. So much so that we made sure to clearly summarize our order before he left the table. The food was tasty and the service seemed good until the bill came. €480 and the kids all had €8 pizzas. They charged us for €80 of calamari appetizers, saying that our order of "two calamari" somehow meant 2 orders of baby squid and 2 orders of large rings. After much discussion, we asked to see the menu as well. When we questioned why the check was €20 per order instead of the €15 for Fried Calamari listed on the menu, the response was that this was "fresh, not frozen", therefore it cost more. That was the last straw for me. They finally agreed to adjust the check when we mentioned we were going to give our feedback to the Hilton. What should have been a nice evening ended on a very sour note. I'm a reasonable person, and I felt we were careful to be extremely clear once we got that first bad vibe. Normally I would chalk it up to a miscommunication, but these guys were not playing it straight. Tourists beware! read more

Note to self...even when you have a super nice hotel concierge who is clearly trying to be helpful, always trust Yelp. I should have heeded the previous reviews before deciding to go to Zi'ntonio Mare. Evening started off ok with the restaurant's courtesy car picking us up at the Hilton Palace. Evening continued to be ok when we reached the marina and saw the beautiful setting in which the restaurant was located. The foregoing account for the 1 star I am giving. The waiter had little interest in explaining menu items or providing recommendations. I told him that I wanted some shellfish (mussels, clams, etc.) in a tomato broth. He kept pushing the fresh whitefish special. Finally said he could give me mussels and clams, with a little bit of whitefish, in a tomato based sauce. My wife ordered the gnocchi. We also ordered the zucchini flower appetizer and a half bottle of red wine. The wine was delivered warm. The waiter explained this by waiving his hands around and saying that the wine is out and it gets warm. His suggestion was to put it in ice. So we did. Ok, fine. The zucchini flowers were ok. Fried and filled with ricotta, they just lacked seasoning and taste. My dish was brought out on a large metal platter. There were some clams and some mussels, all surrounding a whole whitefish in a butter-based sauce. I told the waiter that I didn't order a whole whitefish. His response was for me not to worry about it because he would debone the fish for me. I told him again that I didn't want an entire whitefish. He asked if I wanted just the clams and mussels, which I said was fine, so he went back, dumped the clams and mussels on to a plate and gave the bread plate sized portion to me. The shellfish was actually good, though was an appetizer-sized portion or smaller. The gnocchi were ok, though a bit gummy. The kicker of all of this was that, when the bill arrived, they charged us €17 for the mussels/clams and added a cover charge of €2 per person. When we asked one of the other waiters what the cover charge was for, he said it was for the tablecloth (seriously?). The charge for an entire portion of mussels on the menu was €10, so we went to the front of the restaurant to speak with the manager. I'm not sure if she was the manager, but we spoke with a blonde woman sitting at the hostess area about the meal overcharge and cover charge. She kept trying to tell us that the bill was the bill. She finally acquiesced and changed the €17 to €10. They refused, however, to remove the €4 cover charge showing us that 3/4 of the way through the menu there was a line item for the charge. Lesson learned, Yelp. I won't make this mistake again. read more

I can totally resonate with Speed W's review. I visited this establishment with my partner, earlier this evening, the positives? They welcome you in...unsurprisingly...The seating area is nice, however thats where the positives end. The negatives: Ordered the calamari, they mentioned the two variants, went for the rings. They were tasty but may well have been due to the copious frying oil. Upon receipt of bill there was the mysterious - Coperto - service charge €4 (€2/person) - when questioned "it was a service charge italy they levy for bread etc". Was rather bemused as nobody else on the island seemed to levy the - Coperto charge. Have extensively travelled the region and never seen it appear on a bill. Selective theft. Also if like the rest of the globe you pay by card...you might want to re-think. There were two other couples who had to faff about for 30mins each, while their 1920s card reader caught a signal. 1 was even offered to be driven to a cash machine a back, debt collection at its finest. Looks nice, food & service could be much better. Depending on how busy they are you could end up with more than you anticipate to pay. read more

On our first night after quite a travel we opted for a restaurant from our guide book we read on the plane. Unluckily for us the first option appeared not to exist (probably mistyped the name) so we went for this second choice. The location is nice next to the old harbour which is set in a bay. The restaurant is well staffed and even then forgot our drinks more than once. Our children really wanted pizza so we ordered that. Probably there are way better options for pizza. Probably an address better suited to a hunger for seafood. We enjoyed the location. Also the walk to get to it. Downhill on arrival and uphill when leaving. read more

Place was average at best, service was very slow. Beautiful location but very dishonest employees. I speak fluent Italian and overheard servers several times, only with English/American customers, that service/gratuities were not included. There is no tipping in Europe and service is included with the meal. They were taking advantage of tourists that don't know any better. I approached a waiter, who by the way didn't ask me for a "service fee" what he was asking for and he became very nervous. He tried giving some silly story that there was a special tax in Sorrento but in my opinion was taking advantage of people who didn't know any better. Stay away Trattoria da Emilia just steps away is 5 star and very reasonable. read more

Zi'Ntonio Mare - Italian Near Me - Sorrento, NA

Upon entry, hostess was on phone talking to a friend. Made us wait 5 minutes before giving us attention. Asked for a table for 2 people, while on a date. As soon as she heard me speak English she told us that it was completely booked, while half the restaurant had open tables or people finishing their meals. Very inappropriate and unprofessional. read more

Had a nice dinner here late one evening. The food was great, and location was very cute sitting out on the pier. Overall nice experience!

Definitely recommend this restaurant. The fish was so fresh! We had two different kids of fish and lobster, all fresh and tasty. The fish was cooked whole then they will filet the fish meat for you, pouring the delicious juices and spices over the succulent fish meat to eat, with tomatoes, spinach etc. (if you want). The appetizers and wine were good too. The seating is right on the pier, overlooking the sea. They had heaters and blankets as it is not yet summer and was a little chilly, so was perfect that we still got to enjoy eating on the shore. Service was fantastic / accommodating too. The reviews that did not give high stars were not based on the food the restaurant is known for (who gets pizza at a seafood restaurant?), and a credit card machine going offline - very poor reasons to give lower stars! read more

Located on the water at Marina Grande in Sorrento, this restaurant features fresh seafood. The seating includes a pier into the water of the marina. The atmosphere is great with white jacketed waiters and a waterside formality. The food was very good. Had a sea bass meal that was excellent and cleaned at tableside. My wife had a salmon dish. read more

My husband and I stopped for lunch after strolling in the city. The waiter was very nice and gave us a seat by the window. Lunch was delicious. I ordered the spaghetti with clams and my husband ordered the gnocchi. Both were delicious(his was better). We ordered a bottle of wine and after we finished eating the waiter was kind enough to let us finish our drinks on the dock outside. Excellent meal and service! read more

Got the rockfish for two, was ok. Ok appetizers and wine. Good but not great view. Other meals for party of 11 were also average....was disappointed. read more

I signed up to Yelp to give good reviews for the establishments. However I could not give this place a good rating. The location is cute, right next to my other favorite restaurant in Sorrento. My fiance and I didn't make a reservation one night so we were wandering around and stumbled into this restaurant. It was located by the shore so we thought it would be romantic. The environment on the deck is nice. However, the service is terrible. we were put in a corner and the server rarely came to check on us. They always seemed hurried. This place by far had the worst service during our stay in Sorrento. AND this place is the ONLY place who DEMANDED a service tip when their service wasn't even good. He asked for the tip TWICE. The restaurant right next door, Bagni Delfino, had the best service and they didn't even ask for service. Not once. If this place had good service and food, we would had no problem leaving tip. However, rude servers demanding tip was beyond what I was expecting here. Very rude staff and food is mediocre. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

The restaurant was very close to our hotel and was a beautiful setting when we walked up, so we thought we'd check it out. It was awkward almost immediately, as the hostess sat us and then a waiter came up and suggested we sit somewhere else, closer to the water. When he came back 5-10 min later, we ordered a bottle of wine and he said we had to order food with it right away, otherwise we couldn't sit there. It was the strangest experience and we ended up taking our business elsewhere. We do Not recommend!! read more
