Bar Calise

Such an amazingly beautiful place. 😍 We had a pre-wedding reception held here and the location, the atmosphere and the accessibility was just phenomenal. The singer they had on for that night was a one man wonder, he brought the party to ischia. And we are grateful to him for bringing such joy to all the people present.

Great ice cream; we also tried profiterole, cannoli and a lemon cake. They were all good. It has a beautiful atmosphere and very friendly service.

Lovely bar & gardens. Great food and excellent service. Went back several times during our stay.

Beautiful seating environment and bar and food counter but extremely confusing set up. My husband went in and walked around and wasn't greeted at all. He sat down at a table for 10 minutes and no one approached him. He was waiting for me as I was shopping across the street so he wasn't in a huge rush but got up and came to meet me. We did go back in and had to go to the counters and ask how we should order. The girl at the bakery section took our order and then we just stood there and then she told us to go pay for it at the check out counter and then we had to clarify that we were going to be eating it there so then the cashier just told us to sit down and that somebody would come to us. The servers never approached us until the cashier told them to they were just walking around clearing tables. I saw another couple seated waiting and they waited from before we went inside chose bakery, went to the cashier and then sat down and got our things delivered until they were approached.

The pastries were delicious but everything was lacking. The service was abismol, we ended up inadvertently choosing self service and It still took forever to get served. Once served we were then told to pay over at the counter. Keeping in theme the woman at the counter was annoyed we wanted to pay and told us to sit down then changed her mind and we paid. Upon paying we tried to sit outside in the sunshine only to be told, No!! Self service over here (inside) We later found out that the table service fee alone would have cost more than the food itself. What could be a beautiful cafe to sit and eat is ruined by lazy staff and ridiculous policies. Don't recommend it.

Stay away if you’re a tourist / don’t speak Italian. Staff are extremely rude if you are not local. We went here twice during our visit. Our first visit we were extremely confused by the setup - the place looks lovely but ordering is confusing. We approached the lady at the register and was brushed away and told to go and sit down, we then asked could we order to takeaway, she gave us a receipt and pointed at the staff making coffees. We gave them our receipt and they made our drinks in sit-in mugs - however as the staff didn’t speak English we took the mugs to go and sit down instead of making a fuss. However before we could sit, the lady on the register started shouting at us in Italian, she then took the mugs off us and a weak cold takeaway one was given instead. We hoped this was just a bad experience and visted again the next day but decided to skip the confusion and opt for sit down service, only to find the price of our order had more than doubled to sit at a table. We sat in the large outside area, where it was just us and another couple sat multiple tables away. Whilst waiting for our drinks a waitress rudely approached us and told us off for having a small pot of watermelon and water bottle with us. We tried to explain we had ordered coffees and are just waiting, but she insisted it had to be put away off the table. Despite us paying €8 to sit in here instead of the original €3-4 euro the day before for takeaway. I don’t really see who we’re bothering or how we’re taking business away from them when we’ve paid to sit here, and there is no one here anyways. 5 mins later our coffees were slammed down infront of us by the same women without a word said. I really don’t know why this place has so many good reviews!

Great place! They made the tomato spaghetti for me in a vegetarian form and it was delicious. I also had a tiramisu which was excellent too. The waiter was kind and gave me a free entree and digestive too. He was very attentive and quick to help. Recommend! Only a shame it was pretty quiet when I visited.

Best background music i have ever heard. Amazing garden tables. The range if choice of pastries is unbelievable.I loved every bite of my cake. It was 3.5 euro is ok price. Very good! And tasty They have free wifi for guests. Also there is a large bar. There is lots of parking area. Staff is nice and speaks good English

Beautiful garden cafe. A bit expensive and not particularly friendly staff bordering on rude cost a few stars in my rating. The semifreddo tiramisu ice cream was gorgeous though...
