01
Crudo del Golfo
The morning's catch, barely touched — so the Mediterranean can speak for itself.
Poured alongside Biancolella d'Ischia.
Corso Angelo Rizzoli · Lacco Ameno · Ischia
An evening in Lacco Ameno,
by the sea.
On the corso, a few steps from the Fungo rock — a quiet table where the day's catch meets the volcanic wines of the island.

The sea, on a plate
A few plates the island keeps asking for.

A word with Marco
Not sure what to choose?
Marco can walk you through the restaurant's signature dishes and suggest wines that pair beautifully with your meal.
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.

Ask Marco about local wines and Mediterranean flavours.
A chapter for every hour
An evening you'll remember.
From the last of the sun to the walk back under the stars — a quiet map of the hours between.
I19:30
The last of the light
Golden hour drapes itself across the bay and the Fungo. The island exhales.

A glass to begin
Biancolella, cool from the cellar. Ischia in a single sip.
IV20:40

What the boats brought at dawn. Barely touched. Deeply seasoned by the sea.
V21:20
The kitchen's answer
A plate the chef could not resist making tonight.
VI22:05
Something sweet
A dessert, an espresso, a drop of limoncello.
VII23:00
Home, under the stars
Cobblestones, lamplight, the sea somewhere close. An evening you will keep.
Scroll the evening
What guests tell us
The threads that recur in public reviews over the years — from English, German, French, Swedish, American and Italian travellers.
01
The catch
The freshness of the fish and the crudo, and a kitchen that hides nothing behind it.
02
The wine
A list that lives on the volcanic wines of the island, walked through calmly, at the pace of the table.
03
The welcome
Nino, Marilena, Martina, Patricia and Pierpaolo — a warm service, in five languages, that makes you feel at home.
Ischia, around you
The island is the invitation.
Come for the island. Stay for the evening.
The Fungo of Lacco Ameno, a few steps from the restaurant.
01
Il Fungo di Lacco Ameno
The green-tuff sea stack that has become a symbol of the island, right off the Corso Rizzoli.
02
Villa Arbusto · Pithecusae Museum
Angelo Rizzoli's former villa, now the archaeological museum of ancient Pithecusae — home to Nestor's Cup, one of the earliest inscribed objects in the Mediterranean.
03
San Montano Bay & Negombo
A sheltered bay with thermal gardens carved into the rock — the slow morning before dinner.
04
Sant'Angelo d'Ischia
A car-free fishing village on the south coast, with its narrow isthmus reaching out to sea.
Take your time. Enjoy Ischia slowly.
Before you arrive
A few gentle answers.
On the main corso of Lacco Ameno, Corso Angelo Rizzoli 20, a few metres from the Fungo rock. Most guests arrive on foot from the small harbour.
Yes. Ferries and hydrofoils from Naples (Molo Beverello, Calata Porta di Massa) and from Pozzuoli reach Ischia Porto, Casamicciola or Forio. From Casamicciola we are ten minutes by car or by local bus (lines CS, CD).
The centre of Lacco Ameno is a limited-traffic zone in summer. The closest public car parks are between Piazza Santa Restituta and the small harbour, a short walk away.
Yes. Families are part of our story. A tailored menu and warm attention for the youngest guests are always there.
Every evening our kitchen prepares vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes rooted in the Mediterranean tradition. Simply let us know in advance.
Call us on +39 081 333 0322, write to us here, or drop by. Tell us the evening you have in mind, and we will take care of the rest.
Italian, English, French, German and Spanish. You will feel at home in your own language.
A table waiting after the sunset
Tell us about
your evening.
A quiet dinner for two. An anniversary. A slow tasting outside. Fresh fish, local wine, or a table just as the last light leaves the sea — begin the conversation, and we'll take it from there.
