Gianluca D'Ambra
Tradition. Territory. Technique.
The kitchen of Zi Nannina a Mare enters a new chapter under the guidance of Ischia-born chef Gianluca D’Ambra — a fresh voice in the evolving story of our restaurant. His cooking is a tribute to the island: rooted in tradition, yet reimagined with precision and creativity.
His menus express the harmony between land and sea: from the freshness of raw seafood and garden vegetables to the rich depth of slow-cooked sauces and handmade pastas.
Dishes like Pacchero con Totano or Terrina di verdure di stagione reflect his dedication to seasonality, while desserts such as Il Bosco or Sfolgiababba play with textures and memory.
Without unnecessary excess, each dish tells the story of the territory with elegance and sincerity. This is an honest cuisine — deeply personal, yet always made to be shared.
The story of Zi Nannina a Mare continues rooted in tradition, and always inspired by the island we call home.
