I recommend Jamm’ Ja only for pizza. The pizza is not ”genuine Neapolitan” like some reviews claim - their pizza is a bit thicker than that, but it tasted good - maybe they should rebrand it as Ischian pizza. My spaghetti alla cozze was a tad too salty but ok quality. The stuffed squid though and we might have thrown off the balcony. The restaurant is located by a busy road by the sea and although you can catch the sunset from the rooftop terrace, it’s not a ”spectacular” place to see the sunset, in fact just a few tables have an unblocked view. What really pissed me off though was the waiter’s philisophy in restaurant running. This place had separate menus for tourists and for locals (first one in english, german, russian and whatnot, 2nd one in italian alone), tourist menu specifically designed to please tourists who don’t know better - e.g carbonara was prepared with cream, the American way. When I saw this I asked for the menu in Italian. When I asked why the foods are different, the waiter exclaimed that tourists come here and want to eat how they are used to back home. This philosophy means you are blatantly underestimating your foreign visitors and their taste buds - many of us have travelled a long way to eat genuine Italian food. Figuratively speaking - an authentic Italian pizzeria would not serve pizza with pineapple, even when tourists are asking for it. Overall, the place is a casual place with an ok view where locals go grab a pizza.

We had a lovely dinner at the rooftop restaurant overlooking the seaside. The staff was incredibly welcoming and graciously agreed to adjust the menu, preparing pasta with fagioli and cozze, which was personally delivered by the chef. The hospitality of the hostess truly enhanced our dining experience. The quality of the food was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you again for a wonderful evening!

Visited October 2024. In Forio benefitting from a coastal position with a sea and more importantly a sunset view, this family run restaurant is exactly what you'd imagined a restaurant on the island of Ischia to be like. The essentials such as good, freshly prepared food, friendly and attentive staff and very well priced. Tick, tick, tick. Close to our hotel we made multiple visits during our stay. Very well done.

Best food while in Ischia.The restaurant is a little far away from the center,which means it is a hidden gem.The service was courteous and the food was incredible.The antipasto “Baccalá pastellato” was super delicate and the “Delizia al limone” was light,creamy,”summery”.It comes with a limoncello shot.Please,visit this restaurant you won’t be disappointed!!

If I could give 10 stars I would, this place was absolutely amazing, no pretenting about it. Pure honest food and drinks, the way it should be ( at least for me ) when in Italy. House wine is enjoyable, the meals were absolutely delicious, service was excellent and the sunset a dream, thank you for an enjoyable evening to all the staff in Jamm Ja.

Amazing place! Not in center of Forio but totally worth visiting. We spent 3 days in island and we went to this place two times. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is really good. Typical napoli pizza and good pastas not that expensive. House wine is delicious. And this rooftop....best place for dinner with sunset view!
