La Rosa dei Venti

The 13 Best Restaurants On Ischia - Ischia - The Infatuation

"You’ll have to venture to the edge of the Fiaiano pinewood forest for dinner at La Rosa dei Venti, but the sweeping view of green hills with Castello Aragonese in the background is worth it. Once you’re inside, there’s a good chance you’ll see huge tables of lively locals celebrating a baptism or birthday in the big, casual space, and if there’s an important soccer match, it’ll be playing on the large TVs. Peer through the glass-doored fridge filled with thick cuts of beef, veal, and ribs and pick your favorite—it’ll come to you perfectly cooked by the wood-fired grill, while wood-fired ovens turn out gourmet pizzas with soft, fluffy crust. Sometimes, there’s a shuttle service to take you to and from Ischia Porto, otherwise a taxi is your best bet." - gillian mcguire
