Who we are, in three words

A word with Marco
Questions about the island?
Just ask, and we'll show you the local side of Ischia.
The sea, on a plate
A few plates the island keeps asking for.
01
Crudo del Golfo
The morning's catch, barely touched, so the Mediterranean can speak for itself.
Poured alongside Biancolella d'Ischia.
02
Spaghetti alle Vongole
A recipe our grandmothers would recognise. Nothing added that the sea did not intend.
Poured alongside Falanghina dei Campi Flegrei.
03
Pesce all'Acqua Pazza
The whole day's fish, poached slowly, the way Ischian fishermen have always cooked at sea.
Poured alongside Fiano di Avellino.
A word with Marco
Not sure what to choose?
We'll walk you through the signature dishes and the wines that pair with them.
On the island, wine is a language
Poured
slowly,
like the evening.
Ischia's vines grow out of volcanic stone, above the sea. They give a wine that tastes of the island itself, salted air, sun-warmed rock, wild herbs.
Biancolella · Forastera · Per'e Palummo, the island's native grapes, farmed on terraces above the sea.
The kitchen
Today's catch, on your table.
A quiet lunch by the Fungo, a long dinner on the seafront. The same steady hand in the kitchen, all day long.

The island is the invitation.
Come for the island. Stay for the evening.
The Fungo of Lacco Ameno, a few steps from the restaurant.

The green-tuff sea stack that has become a symbol of the island, right off the Corso Rizzoli.
Take your time. Enjoy Ischia slowly.
