14/07/2024: Può capitare di scegliere questo ristorante per la location meravigliosa, che si affaccia proprio sopra il porto di S. Angelo. Ma sarà il cibo a far ritornare.
Piatti tradizionali si affiancano a rivisitazioni davvero bene riuscite, come l'indimenticabile Gambero di Mazzara la cui polpa viene servita su una base di ricottina profumata alla menta, con un risultato sublime per il palato.
La squisita cortesia del servizio (diversamente da altri posti che ho frequentato a Ischia) è il tocco finale per rendere assolutamente meravigliosa l'esperienza della cena.
Prezzi leggermente superiori ai ristoranti dei dintorni, ma alla fine il conto si paga volentieri.
Consigliato!
03/07/2024: Arrived at the port and took the crowded bus to the hotel, which was about a 40 minute drive, took a bus ticket for 3 days at 11 euros, very cheap. Upon arrival at the hotel we received a detailed explanation of what to do on the island. Very warm welcome, we felt very welcome. We had a room with a sea view, just beautiful. The hotel has a breathtaking view, that's why we booked it. We had booked a room with half board. I just want to warn everyone. Do not take a room with half board. Because guess what. If you take half board, which of course you also pay for, you are not allowed to sit on the terrace outside with a breathtaking view. Specially booked this hotel to have dinner with such a view, and then you have to sit inside in a courtyard without a view. Terrace is apparently for customers of the a la carte restaurant. If we had known that 🤔 There are people sitting there eating, each with 1 pizza, which is not expensive, and 1 drink. While we ordered an aperitif, wine, water, .... We did not think this was possible and therefore did not accept it. Staff was unfriendly because we gave our opinion. Not nice when you are traveling to be confronted with this. For the rest, nothing from this hotel but good. Rooms clean, fresh towels every time. Breakfast also okay, just basic. Friendly boss, who regularly chats with you. The island of Ischia is beautiful, but I fear that, like many islands in Italy, it will become super touristy and will attract crowds of people. Positano and Amalfi, mass tourism. Lots of Americans 🫣
