25/07/2026: We were recommended this place by our hosts in this beautiful, quiet part of Ischia. First of all the setting: wow, it couldn't be any more picturesque and the panoramic windows are perfect to enjoy a meal and conversation in such an incredible, unspoilt environment.
Secondly, the food was very good. We started with the brochetta di pomodoro, which was the most delicious and generous serving of this dish we've ever encountered by a country mile.
Next, things started to go downhill. Several groups around us were blasting annoying beeps, dings, crashes and screams from their phones non-stop as if they were in their own homes. So, as our ONE HOUR wait for our main courses dragged on, it became increasingly difficult to appreciate the setting and food (due to its non-existence) now that toxic and completely unnecessary phone noise enveloped us. We were on holiday, so the wait wasn't our biggest gripe, but the experience had totally lost its charm by now. After learning there'd be another delay for our main courses, I decided if we were going to stay even longer, I'd ask a waiter to speak to one particularly antisocial group about the unnecessary, intrusive digital noise. He pretended to sympathise and then did nothing about it. A man at a nearby table defended it as "cultural" (no prizes for guessing he and his companion were also TikTok scrolling with the sound on less than one metre from us). Thank you, sir, I didn't know TikTok, Youtube, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. Invading every single one of our public experiences are somehow Italian "culture". Consider me educated! The main courses were, in the end, good. The seafood pasta was tasty if not a little too oily and the carbonara was decent, though a little bland. The four-star rating is mainly for the brochetta.
23/07/2026: We dined at this restaurant as we were staying at a nearby hotel (they even offered us free parking during our stay).
Excellent experience on both occasions: the quality and especially the quantity of the first courses were remarkable.
Friendly and welcoming service, especially Vincenzo, who was always available, especially with our dog Braian 🐕.
Unique view overlooking nearby Sant'Angelo.
Option to eat outside in a very romantic garden 💖.
Excellent prices compared to the island average.
Located just a few meters from Sorgente Bay.
We will definitely be back.
