Ristorante Al Pontile

After visiting the castle, we were looking for a nice place to eat. We did not have to walk far, we were greeted by a waiter who explained the menu to us, with many vegetarian options. We were seated at a table right by the water with a view of the pier and the castle. The service was prompt and pleasant, food absolutely delicious, prices appropriate for the incredible ambiance. Highly recommend !

The waiters seemed offended and nearly forgot about us after we didn't order any wine. Before that point they weemed very nice. Other people around us, ones that came before AND after were checked up on more than we were. The feeling of judgement never left whenever they would come by to take our next order. The carbonara was quite a bit overcooked (they nearly made it into scrambled eggs on pasta), and the calamari plus the fried shrimp were lukewarm in the middle upon arriving at our table. The views are good, but the food is not and neither is the service. We paid 72 EUR for a cola, a fanta, overcooked carbonara and not well enough heated up seafood. Absolute tourist trap - not surprising given the location but still disappointing nevertheless.

Food was okay, had the seafood pasta and my girlfriend had the carbonara. However, it was quite apparent that we were treated less favourably as english speaking tourists. Italian speaking tables got their food well before ours, despite being larger groups. At one point one waitress even came and offered us dessert, as it had been so long since our starter. Several other italian speaking tables got their bill before us, despite us having asked before them. Generally the staff were not friendly to us, and we felt unwelcome, despite being invited in off the street. Overall, not the worth the money. Might have been our imaginations but we certainly didnt feel like we were wanted

Don’t go to this restaurant. Reserved our table as a group at this seaside restaurant well in advance, was told we were getting ‘the best table in the house’. We were sat furthest from the sea surrounded by flies. The staff were rude and incompetent, my friend ordered a beer before the meal and still hadn’t received it after finishing the meal despite being reminded twice. When someone from our group went up to the bar directly to ask for it, the waitress walked across the restaurant over to a computer to check our order before just pouring the beer? Service was generally slow and favoured non-English customers. When our drinks were brought out, the waitress placed the serving tray on the edge of the table and it flipped over and smashed. She didn’t apologise, instead rolling her eyes at us and telling my friend ‘not to touch’ the bottle for the next drink she brought out. The mains arrived and another waitress had no idea what meal she had in her hands, it was not ordered by any of us. Food portions were underwhelming, but surprisingly (given everything else), it was edible.

Amazing place! I totally recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants to eat very tasty food & seafood! The view of the harbour and castle is stunning! Thank you, Adrian, for your hospitality and service! I will definitely come back! ❤️

Good decoration, nice vibe, but the experience of being tricked & fooled was awfully unpleasant. The waited offered us to grill a full tail of red snapper without advising the price and ignored our question. We the check came, It carries an expensive tag of 97 Euro 😒 !

I ordered the truffle risotto but was served what felt more like rice with milk and onions—there wasn’t even a hint of truffle or any of the flavours you'd expect based on menu description. We ended up just filling our stomachs with something pretty tasteless. That said, the staff were fantastic, and the location and atmosphere were really lovely. Friendly turist trap. Expensive. I will definitely avoid this place for the future.

Simply AVOID this place. This is a tourist trap! It was the worst food we had in Ischia (and also the worst food of my life). The taglionili were literally a joke and completely uneatable. The fish was… well, cooked in a microwave. 🙃 The bruschetta was WET, the service was tragically slow (one hour of waiting for an uneatable main) and the worst — they don’t even care. Not a sincere apology, not a care to try to see why the customer is leaving unhappy and fix the situation… We would never go back and simply you shouldn’t too.

This restaurant is a must when in Ischia. The service here is incredible. The view of the aragonese castle is to die for! The bruschetta appetizer, gnocchi, and linguine & clams were delicious to say the least. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the ambiance, atmosphere, and of course the wine!

I had to take a moment from my vacation to give a well deserved accolades to a well deserved establishment, I travel for business often, and I take many clients out to dinners, this by far was one of the best meals we had so far, my wife and I tried 2 different fish dishes, 2 appetizers and every one was exceptional, even their house wine beats the high priced wines, I had in many high end high priced restaurants. The atmosphere is casual and fun, it beats the stuffy overpriced restaurants we have tried. Great service overall, very pleasant, attentive staff. I highly recommend that you take the time to visit and enjoy the food, and we were surprised with the final bill under $70 We can not wait to go back again.

We have been eating in the Naples area all week and the food here by far the best we have eaten. 7 great meals and I had been looking for a Spaghetti Carbonara that would beat the first I had in Rome over 30 years ago. This meal was the best Carbonara I have ever had! The Spaghetti Fungi was also outstanding. I have posted a few Yelp reviews but this is first time I have been compelled to add a new business to review.

This restaurant has the best location and the most delicious food. We had the best food on Ischia, at this restaurant. With the beautiful sea next to you, there is also the view to the fortress in the background. The waiters recommend a very good white wine, that compliments the food we had. I will definitely come back again to this place.
