Ristorante L'Arca In Forio

Spectacular dinner at ARKA! A dream location nestled in the rock, breathtaking views, and a super relaxing atmosphere. Exceptional dishes that masterfully reinterpret local flavors, and excellent service. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the island!

Second visit this year and… disappointing. The place is still beautiful with a superb view and a very zen and cool atmosphere, but the food no longer lives up to the upscale setting. Basic dishes that don't live up to the location. In 2025 the restaurant was closed for renovations; in 2024 everything was perfect. Disappointing. What a shame.

The best gourmet experience we've had in ages! I've truly never experienced such an atmosphere. The view is breathtaking, the food fantastic, and the staff incredibly warm and attentive – a cool, young team! You can completely unwind and simply enjoy yourself. Highly recommended! Thank you for this unforgettable evening 🫶🏼

There are places that become famous thanks to social media, and others that are perhaps less popular, but truly deserve it. My advice? Stop chasing viral restaurants on TikTok and start looking for true quality. I've tried many places in Ischia, many of them highly publicized, but in the end, they disappointed me. Then I discovered Arka and realized that passion, expertise, and respect for what they bring to the table make the difference. The quality of the ingredients is simply exceptional; each dish is meticulously crafted with love and great professionalism. A quality that, honestly, I've rarely found even in some high-end restaurants in Milan. The people who run Arka are an added bonus: knowledgeable, welcoming, polite, and never intrusive. They make you feel welcome with a naturalness that is increasingly difficult to find these days. And then the location... built on stone, authentic, with a view that offers one of the most beautiful sunsets over the sea of ​​Ischia. An experience that engages all the senses. What can I say... Arka, you prove that talent, passion, and quality don't need algorithms to stand out. Keep up the good work, because you are truly unique. Heartfelt congratulations!

We had dinner, everything was delicious. The staff was young and attentive. Spectacular view!

The atmosphere is charming and beautiful, the products are excellent and the prices are fair. I recommend them to everyone.

Gorgeous restaurant! It’s at the top of ischia and the view is incredible. It looks like a tiny castle with an antique foundation but the inside is very modern and encased in windows so you have an incredible view during your meal. The staff give off hipster vibes and were very kind and attentive. The food was quite average but the restaurant and view make this place worth it!

A place for the soul! We had dinner last night at the Arka restaurant! A fantastic location overlooking a fairytale panorama! The interiors are impeccably designed, and the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, yet unobtrusive. The refined, high-quality cuisine offers a modern take on traditional Ischian recipes! All accompanied by the voice of Romolo Bianco, who sang exclusively acoustically, accompanying himself on the guitar. The atmosphere was priceless and extremely evocative! The price is in line with a quality restaurant!

Arka is one of those places that leave a lasting impression. A magical place, where time seems to slow down and relaxation takes center stage. The cuisine manages to balance tradition and creativity, offering carefully crafted dishes brimming with personality. But what truly makes this place special is the atmosphere: elegance, courtesy, professionalism, and a genuine welcome that make every guest feel at home. A place of the soul, always worth returning to. Congratulations to the entire staff.

A wonderful discovery and a fantastic experience! The new management since 2026 has brought fresh air and innovation. Breathtaking views; I recommend coming just before sunset! The rabbit pasta is delicious, as are the Nerano and the appetizers! Highly recommended! The prices are also affordable.
