For tourists who do not speak Italian (like me), here is what I know about this place:
- opens around 8pm; locals kept on arriving until 9.30-10pm
- if the lights are on and music is playing, the place is open
- this is a one man shop - the owner Enzo cooks and serves and takes orders
- there isn’t a fixed menu - I was asked whether I want fried or grilled fish, meat, shellfish, pasta, etc
- if you want quick food this is not the place for you; for context I arrived at 8.30pm, ordered at 8.40, got my pasta dish at 9.30, fish at 9.45 and salad at 10pm
- bruschetta was delicious; I also had aglio olio (2 dishes), one grilled fish and a salad
- total came to €68 and they take card payments

We even got a digestivo on the house, which was such a nice surprise. Great food, warm service, and really good prices. Highly recommended!
I had a great dinner at La Pagliarella on Ischia island! The bruschetta, the fish and seafood were super fresh and cooked to perfection. At the end they offered us a digestive on the house – a nice gesture. High quality, fair prices and welcoming staff. Highly recommended!
