Beautiful restaurant on the way to the Nitrodi fountains. The bruschetta was amazing and the best I ate so far. We didn’t have other food but I am sure it’s amazing as well!

One of the best authentic restaurants in Ischia. A perfect day in Ischia would be to visit Nitrodi followed by lunch at La Cantina. Ask for Mario...

Located along the gorge that leads down to the Nitrodi hot springs. We had an excellent lunch on the sunlit terrace (spaghetti-with-pomodoro followed by perfectly cooked steak and fish), paid €35 a head and it was worth it. Charming host. Before lunch, would recommend a visit to the springs - magical place, if not at first sight.
