Il Borghetto In Barano d'ischia

Amazing place, with delicious food, breathtaking views, and super nice service! It is worth taking a steep ride to this place! (Preferably by a motorbike)

More than a review, I wanted to give advice to the owners about the correct interpretation of the pasta alla Gricia recipe. They are truly rare, like white flies, those restaurateurs who humbly and with great correctness also accept criticism. I must give credit to Borghetto for having given an answer that demonstrates its intellectual honesty, humility and great correctness. An answer to be taken as an example, without polemical hints. that I feel like applauding!

a wonderful place where nice food is served by 2 nice guys 😊 I've adjusted Google Maps to make it easier to find, but the road still is very narrow 😧 and this makes it a challenge to reach the restaurant with no scratches, but the reward is 🏆

We came here for dinner, with a wonderful view of the island from the terrace and a fantastic view of Mount Vesuvius. The owner of the restaurant is extremely friendly and even speaks German and English very well. We felt very comfortable, and that wasn't just because of the ambiance. The food was sensational and the prices were what you'd expect in Italy if you're not in the tourist areas. Unfortunately, it's rather difficult to find, and the road can be challenging for some, but I can say it's definitely worth it.

We found this restaurant on google maps and wanted to have a special family dinner for our last night on the island. We made the arduous trek up the hill, but even with some extreme hairpin turns…we are so glad we went! Let me start with the drive. We were driving a midsized SUV, and yes(!) the skinny little roads and 180 turns do make you sweat. Note that google maps take you PAST the turn for the restaurant and will deliver you to the backside, so you need to watch for the handmade restaurant sign attached to a pole about a block before google tells you to turn and turn left. As you drive up the hill on the parallel road you will see on google maps when you are near the restaurant and see its lights on the hill. There will also be a second sign on your right to turn into the driveway. As far as the food, it was delicious. Most of their food is scratch prepared in house. The gnocchi, ravioli and ziti were delicious. The rabbit…delicious. The eggplant parm was O.M.G. to die for (I love eggplant and have never had eggplant parm I enjoyed…but this was divine). The tiramisu…what a star! And their house made red wine was a spectacular blend (well balanced, dry, delicious). One of my family members has several allergies…gluten, wheat, dairy, eggs, and tomato. The kitchen was very sensitive to this and helpful. We super appreciated the accommodations and the staff going above and beyond to make sure we all had delicious, filling meals. We traveled from the US and so cannot dine here regularly, but we will come back every time we visit the island (and if we lived on the island, we would definitely dine here often). On top of it all, we love supporting family owned businesses where they clearly pour love into their product. This was a perfect last night.

For us the best restaurant on the island. It is a little hidden and we had to search for the entrance of the restaurant. The food and service were of unparalleled quality and the price was very reasonable. We had a wonderful meal and a lovely evening.

A really good restaurant, you eat very well. The staff is top notch and the environment is very clean. Mimmo is number one.

The restaurant is located in a low-traffic area, away from the flow of tourists. The location is beautiful and the food is genuine, it feels like eating "grandmother's" flavours. The service absolutely impeccable. Prices in line with what is offered

Erano anni che mancavo da questo posto splendido. A parte la location fantastica, mi preme recensire in modo eccellente la qualità del cibo, la pulizia, ma in modo particolare l'accoglienza ed il servizio anche nei momenti di maggiore affluenza ! Ottimo rapporto qualità7prezzo Da consigliare assolutamente e da ritornarci.... il più spesso possibile

Siamo venute su consiglio di amici. Siamo state accolte molto garbatamente da Mimmo e Gianluca. dopo aver raggiungo il locale con difficoltà, per viene a piedi, anche perché poco informate. Cibo eccellente (il coniglio all'ischitana da non perdere), accoglienza sopra ogni aspettativa. Aggiungo una chicca: per agevolarci al rientro in albergo, Gianluca ci ha accompagnate, visto le difficoltà iniziali con mezzi propri fino allo stazionamento degli autobus. Locale molto accogliente e raffinato in un asale molto antico. Ci ritorneremo!
