Hi - We are looking for recommendations for a restaurant in Ischia Italy to celebrate an 18th birthday. We are fine with mom and pop restaurants, most important is good food! I've been looking but haven't had much luck finding anything and the birthday is tomorrow.
All suggestions greatly appreciated ! Thank you.

Locals recommended 'Aglio, Olio e Pomodoro' in Ischia Ponte. It was so good that we ate there 3 times during our 10-night stay back in March. The castle also has a pair of eateries, both of which would of course, offer added value for the views. 'Un Attimo di vino' in the port would offer its own combo of excellent food n' wine plus a festive marina setting. Also the isle Procida offers an unforgettable setting in its Corricella beach waterfront.
Good luck Jen!

Hi Jen,
I'll preface the following with this note: I was born on a farm in Canada's tomato capitol (see below).
Do try their bruschetta with tomatoes and olive oil (at this point remind yourself of their name). It is fan-tastic. Anchovies, squid and seafood were all A+. You can sit indoors or out. Over their PA, they will play Motown plus other styles. The owner's wife might drop by with their little baby girl.
Suggested post-meal activities: visit 'Imaginareum' a wonderful bookstore nearby (name =a play on the ancient Roman name for Ischia, which meant 'Isle of Wine'); stroll the walkway in front of the castle OR go opposite direction up main street for gelato dessert at 'Luciano'.
Ponte is a good place also, to self-cater as we did.
Satisfaction guaranteed.
