De Gasperi Cafè In Torre del greco

11/07/2025: Great place - although we were the only guests on a Monday, we were really looked after 🙂

26/06/2025: We called Borghetto on a Monday evening around 20:30, asking if we could come an hour later — not only did they say yes, but when we arrived (after a surprisingly long scooter ride up into the hills), they had clearly prepared everything with care. We were the only guests at the time, and yet the owner (we assume) had set the entire restaurant with white tablecloths — and gave us the best table, complete with cutlery and ready to go. It felt so personal and welcoming, almost like dining at a friend’s place, but with all the elegance of a proper restaurant. He started us off with a bruschetta on the house, which ended up being the best one we had on our entire trip. Super flavorful, with a proper hit of garlic – not just tomato on bread. You could tell there was pride in every detail. We ordered a shared appetizer from the menu, then split a pasta as our primo and had a secondo each. We finished off with a tiramisu to share and had two glasses of wine with the meal. Every dish was absolutely delicious – fresh, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. The service throughout was fantastic: personal, unpretentious, and genuinely warm. And then the bill arrived… 70 euros total, including everything. Easily the best value meal we had during our time on Ischia — both in terms of quality and the whole experience. If you’re visiting Ischia, make the trip up the narrow roads to this place.
