O Purticciull — Restaurant in Ischia

Things started out great but ended badly. The food was delicious but if you like “regular” portions this is not your place. There were flying ants everywhere. On the table, on the floor, on us biting. We only ate main dishes, and when the waiter asked us about second dishes or desserts we said no. I dont think we ever have to explain to anyone if we dont want more, but it felt like that. We asked for the bill and got ignored like never before. It wasnt fullhouse, not even halfhouse, but it took 25 minutes to bring us the bill. This really made the whole experience go downhill for us. Wouldnt eat here again. Not because of the food, but...

We reserved a table for two on The Fork and it was definitely worth it. We got 20% off the bill. The owner was very friendly and he gave us little fried pizzas and fish appetisers while we waited for our food. The appetizer we actually ordered with the 5 types of fish was delicious. And the grilled swordfish fillet was the best I’ve ever had. The seafood pasta was also amazing. I would greatly recommend this place for the food, but the atmosphere was also very pleasant. My only criticism would be the coperto being €4.50, but I understand it’s a restaurant on the port of Ischia and that’s just how it is here. Overall...

Visiting here was our biggest expense on food and, we felt, worth the price.

Having put up with the 'chicken run' of hawkers badgering us to buy their pasta/pizza and prosecco for €20, this restaurant just relied on its menu and wasn't any more expensive.

The chap who served us was lovely, agreed to give us the free prosecco that his neighbours offered and happily moved us inside when our daughter was feeling unwell in the heat. The €3 service charge is standard, maybe a little high here, but is instead of a tip!

When we're back in Ishchia we'll definitely...
