13/10/2025: A very charming pub overlooking the port of Ischia!
I immediately loved the warm welcome, the smiles, the atmosphere, and even the piped music!
Details that always make the difference!
My wife and I ate two perfectly prepared "zingare ischitane" (typical Ischian pasta).
Excellent flavor, very balanced, and the right portion!
The owner (after mentioning we were newlyweds) gave us a tiramisu, decorated with a chocolate heart! A simple but truly classy touch that didn't go unnoticed and is no longer a given in the hospitality industry!
Well done, never lose your passion!

06/09/2025: During the last days of our vacation, I finally decided to try Ischia's famous zingara. After seeing it mentioned several times, I discovered that Porto 51 was just steps from our hotel: I couldn't have been more fortunate.
As soon as we arrived, I really appreciated the restaurant's understated appearance and its picture-perfect location: directly along one of the harbor piers, with a view that transforms every evening into a special and incredibly relaxing experience.
The welcome was impeccable: the friendly, helpful, and professional staff made our evening feel immediately enjoyable. I ordered a classic zingara, accompanied by crispy, golden fries—a perfect pairing. The zingara, with its crispy exterior and soft, stringy interior, was delicious, made with quality ingredients.
Porto 51 also offers a wide selection of drinks. As a young, cosmopolitan venue, I would have expected more beers on the menu, but I certainly didn't consider this a flaw. In fact, if I return to the island, Porto 51 will definitely be among the places I return to.
