"Taking into account that they perhaps pumped it up too much for me, let's say that the expectations were high especially for their star dish, tagliolini with burrata and red prawn on top. A dish that I have tasted in other places in Lecce and on the sea. Let's say good, yes, but I have paid euros less in other places with the same quality. Whether the extra euros are for the high-class environment in which you find yourself must be a choice. That is, eat well, but spend more on the environment, lots of scene, little substance. But this is my opinion, I pay for the environment but I expect BOOM. I had a boom with the oysters, huge and very fresh, like not even in Paris, if you go ask for them. Scampi same thing, very fresh and huge. My son asked for a meat tartare with truffle... no... he wasn't satisfied, he ate it better in other places (maybe it's not the place to get meat there too, you might say, and what can I say, yes). The tuna tartare was also good. A 4 star only because I prefer substance to many scenes and metres, I love less pompous environments, above all I don't like paying for pomposity but for what I have on my plate. I advise? Yes, to make a good impression on your first outing with a girl, if you want to impress, if you want to make a scene you will certainly make a good impression. I wouldn't go back just because I know other very good places that are a little cheaper, just for this reason, if I didn't know other places with the same quality for less? Yes, I would go back to Alex."

"Of the historic restaurants in Ischia Ponte, I think only this one remains. When I say historic I mean the ones where my grandfather, born in 1900, went. But, on this recent visit, it doesn 't seem like they are resting on their laurels. Already commendable is the fact that even the bars are closing it 's winter, yes, but the people of Ischia aren 't going away! they are also open for lunch. The view is always beautiful, the equipment is more accurate than average (real cloth napkins, the right glasses, a tool for keeping the wine cool... , the service is familiar but impeccable. They offer us a pizza for an aperitif, which surprises us but how can we say no? And it 's good too. The starters are exactly three, and plentiful. More than tasty, a full course. Also the scialatielli with seafood, very rich and good portions. We can 't go any further. The price is more than honest, considering that we also ordered the à la carte one: it is more than understandable that in January some labels are missing, and now they cannot be reordered! It 's my job, that 's exactly how it works... In short, a lot of work, a lot of good will, and an excellent quality/price/service/choice ratio, hiding the little things to improve that a professional perfectionist (in the sector like me always finds. Parking: All of Ischia has parking difficulties. Here we are in a limited restricted traffic zone, not active in winter"
