The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants ILES DU GOLFE DE NAPLES

Small restaurant-pizzeria located not far from the ancient Greek walls. The decoration made of arbors and old pans, flowers and lavender is rather successful. Paolo, the waiter, sows his good mood and collects the bursts of laughter from table to table. While ensuring the show, he will advise you the sfilatino, the house calzone. Otherwise Serafina, the always welcoming owner, proposes a traditional cuisine (antipasti, pasta dishes) mixed with seafood and fish specialities. Correct wine list.

Open since 1931, it is one of the oldest restaurants on the island. One of the most famous too: Versace, Armani, Marcello Mastroianni, Julia Roberts and Dustin Hoffmann have all sat here. Antonio and his wife Aurelia welcome you with an innate kindness in the three rooms of the restaurant and on the terrace with its multitude of plants and green tiles. At lunchtime, the restaurant is quite quiet, in the evening, reservations are required. More than 500 wines on the menu. Please note at the time of the bill: the service is charged (about 10%).

A little bit lost in the forest, a little bit far from everything, near a magnificent thermal spring with soothing virtues. Fortunately the bus stops at the bottom of via Nitrodi, two minutes from the restaurant. Rustic decoration for an exceptional quality/price ratio, knowing that the dishes are as copious as they are tasty. Try the house specialities, rabbit alla cacciatora and the divinely flavoured tomato bruschette . Good local wines and a warm, authentic atmosphere. A well-kept secret of the locals.

Il Focolare is a family story, the d'Ambra family, very attached to its land. The grandfather already cultivated the vineyard in the 1930s and was the biggest wine exporter in Ischia. In 1991, the trattoria was born, which occupies the whole family, a real crew, as they define themselves. The boys are in the kitchen, under the critical eye of the mamma, and Antonella advises the best wines to accompany the meal. On the plate, typical ischiote preparations cooked with the products of the island and flavoured with wild herbs.

Situated on the heights of the municipality of Forio, this agriturismo offers a balcony on the town below and on the sea. On the menu, traditional dishes made with local and organic products: an assortment of hearty antipasti, consisting of bruschette, grilled vegetables and cheeses, excellent homemade pasta and some typical meat dishes such as quail with rosemary. The wine served is that of the estate. The structure also rents out three well-equipped apartments from 35 € per person per day.

The oldest restaurant on the island (1912) has been run for three generations by the D'Alessio family. Its fine and traditional cuisine delights gourmets and delights all the stars who visit the island. Try the pizza all'acqua, the house specialty, made of a very thin dough, delicious. The menus vary according to the seasons, no freezer for the fish bought from day to day. The sommelier Mia D'Alessio has built up the best wine cellar on the island. A gastronomic address in Capri, with prices to match.

From the bus driver to the shopkeeper, from the fisherman to the Petit Futé, everyone will recommend Le Arcate. This is normal because this restaurant, run from father to son, offers excellent value for money. Luigi and Michele Cappiello work hard under the eyes of their mother to satisfy the appetite of their customers. The room evokes the land and fishing; at the back, beautiful ceramics recall the main activities of the restaurant: pizza, seafood and fish. Good wine list. A success.

This trattoria, one of the oldest on the island, remains a safe bet. Set back from the busy Via Orlandi, you can enjoy a quiet lunch in the shade of an arbour. The bread and fresh pasta are homemade and the ingredients carefully selected. Try, for example, the rabbit fettuccine with cherry tomatoes and sheep's cheese, or the swordfish fettuccine with pistachios and lemon. All served on beautiful ceramic plates bearing the restaurant's name. Excellent tiramisu for dessert.

Ideal for immersing yourself in the bustle and life of the port. Plastic chairs, colourful tablecloths and large umbrellas: on the terrace of this unpretentious bar-restaurant you can enjoy simple, honest food, such as spaghetti with anchovies and Procida lemons, or just have a drink. The name of the restaurant is directly inspired by the heroine of Lamartine's novel, Graziella, dedicated to the young woman with whom the poet fell madly in love in Procida.
