Umberto a Mare

If you want to enjoy a stunning vista whilst you eat, then look no further! You can enjoy the beautiful visuals at any time of day, but we wholeheartedly recommend watching the sunset.
And there’s more – the cuisine is simply exceptional. Divinely presented, you’ll find gourmet takes on local and traditional classics which are guaranteed to make your mouth water.

Saturnino
Ah – Saturnino. Yet another one of the fine-dining restaurants in Ischia which is truly divine! Their Mediterranean cuisine oozes style, simplicity and genuine passion. Our favorite dish was the Crudités of locally-caught fish, expertly seasoned and paired with herbs and vegetables. However, we the quality and class of presentation outstanding for everything we tried!
Star of the show is Ciro Mattera, the free-spirited chef. His expertise and love of ingredients are part of what makes Saturino so special. His cooking blends authenticity and emotion, simplicity and genius. Mattera is the master behind everything, from the highly personalized eight-course taster menu to the fresh homemade bread served on entry.
Also noteworthy at Saturino is the extensive list of wines from over 200 international labels. Hand-picked and paired, they are the perfect partner for what promises to be an unforgettable dining experience.

Daní Maison
Last on our list is Daní Maison – the restaurant where art meets cuisine. The food at this Michelin starred gem is beyond extraordinary, which has led to a degree of fame for chef Nino Di Costanzo. You would be hard pushed to find anywhere else in Ischia where every dish is so beautifully and uniquely presented.
The service is incredibly attentive and the venue -the house of Di Costanzo’s grandparents – makes for an exclusive setting. Like many of the other fine-dining restaurants in Ischia, traditional Mediterranean flavors appear consistently throughout the menu. As is to be expected though, each dish is perfectly prepared, with no small detail overlooked. The lip-smacking flavor in every bite has made Daní Maison the talk of the town.
