Ischia

Ischia is the largest of the Phlegrean Islands, a volcanic gem in the Tyrrhenian Sea located just 30 kilometers from Naples. Roughly trapezoidal in shape, the island is predominantly mountainous, dominated by Mount Epomeo, which rises to 788 meters. With a coastline stretching 34 kilometers, it offers diverse landscapes from rugged cliffs to sandy beaches. Historically founded as a Greek emporium in the 8th century BCE, the island blends ancient heritage with natural beauty. The main municipalities include Ischia, Barano d'Ischia, Casamicciola Terme, Forio, Lacco Ameno, and Serrara Fontana. Known for its thermal springs and lush vegetation, Ischia provides an excellent base for travelers seeking relaxation, cultural exploration, and scenic coastal views.

Restaurant★★ Michelin€€€€3.8 km

This aptly named restaurant (At Nino’s house) is situated in chef Nino Di Costanzo’s own house in a residential district amid the hills of Ischia. Once over the threshold, you make your way through a garden planted with a variety of Mediterranean maquis shrubs and flowers, where aperitifs and post-dinner drinks are served in the evening. There are just a few tables in the dining room, which is crowned by a typical vaulted ceiling and where guests wishing to watch the chef at work can take a seat right in front of the kitchen. The dishes here are extremely elaborate, technical and sophisticated

Don’t miss the appointment with sunset: as the sun sets behind you, the sea before you ignites with marvelous hues, thus revealing the meaning behind the restaurant’s name. We find ourselves in an exclusive area of the Hotel Regina Isabella, a small marina from which the view embraces Lacco Ameno, Casamicciola, the island of Procida, Vesuvius, Bacoli... a unique and unforgettable panorama, with the sea enclosed between lands and islands as if in an enchanted bay. In the kitchen, Ischia-born Pasquale Palamaro evokes his island memories through refined and creative dishes. The offering takes sha

When you arrive at the luxury Botania hotel, you’ll be accompanied through 3ha grounds of lush Mediterranean vegetation to the restaurant. You couldn’t have a better introduction to the cuisine that awaits at Il Mirto, where you can choose between two long tasting menus or a shorter four-course option featuring dishes from these menus. One of the menus is vegetarian, the other vegan and almost all the vegetables are sourced from the property’s own kitchen garden or from other local growers from Ischia. A delightful experience in a beautiful natural setting, with excellent service provided by y

Il Saturnino

Restaurant€€4.3 km

It was a love story between an American and a local girl from Forio that led, in 1949, to the opening of this restaurant overlooking the port, with its attractive veranda boasting fine sea views. The current management team have made this one of the most interesting restaurants in the region for anyone keen to sample traditional cuisine from Ischia and Campania. Don’t miss the pasta served with local (and very rare) zampognaro beans, mussels and squid, or the Ischian-style rabbit presented in an attractive terracotta dish. A good choice of fish dishes is also available.
