OK restaurant on the peak of Ischia with marvellous views, but they are often blocked by clouds fog or haze. The food is very simple, and is prepared quickly. It is said that there is service outside, but if there is it's very slow. We waited for 20 minutes, then went in and got the waiter. The waiter also told us that they have a 9 euro Neapolitan Easter cake (the whole round cake, not a piece), but it turned out that it was just an overpriced small cake piece, which didn't taste that well either.
