Ristorante Indaco

One of the best Michelin restaurants we have ever been to! It is the whole experience - from the moment you arrived at the beautiful property to you finished your last bite of dessert. This place and its menu was full of creativity, ingenuity, and artful playfulness with food, and ingredients from the island. Even though it was a seven course tasting menu, it was really a ten course meal with pre / after snacks and a welcome drink on the house. Some of my favorites were actually from the finger food dishes. Also the shrimp crackers were the best! I especially loved the playfulness in the experience and how they planned different surprises along the course. It made the experience much more fun. 🤩

impeccable food, extraordinary wine, and warm service, all in a truly astonishing setting. continually surprising in the best way, well deserving of its star and even two more… cannot recommend highly enough for a special occasion on the island of ischia. If I’m fortunate enough to one day return I certainly will!!

Absolutely one of the top 3 restaurants we’ve had on our honeymoon through Europe, and even I’d argue this is definitely better than quite a few other 3 star Michelin restaurants too… The presentation from start to finish was incredibly tasteful and creative, ranging from outdoor seaside sitting to transitioning indoors. All the dishes draw inspiration from the sea. There were many dishes where we equally enjoyed the presentation and “played” with our food. One of the most memorable dishes was cucumber foam on top of a plate where you see plastic waste and candy wrappers—you eat the foam which is shaped like plastic trash—it’s such a creative and impactful way of sending the message about the precarious state of the waters and essentially the way of life for the people on this island. Chef Palamero was born on the island — and in every dish you can clearly see the inspirations from the island and the waters/living organisms around it. The entire staff was so incredibly warm and made our evening so special — the dessert presentation in the form of a pearl was so beautiful! You will love this experience too!

Went there on our honeymoon. The restaurant, the staff, the food… on another level of awesome. The whole experience from the moment they greeted us till the very end was a masterpiece. Would recommend for anyone who wants to experience something that they will remember for a long time.

Very uncooperative. Defects also in food preservation. Fish with a strong sea smell that has clearly been rotten for a couple of days. Rather than Michelin 2024, it could be defined as Michelin 1930 when driving belonged to truck drivers. Staff with "passing the buck" attitudes. To be re-evaluated but not with recommended guides.

I’ve lived in NYC for the last 7 years and have also traveled to 50+ countries mainly to eat good food. I love an amazing hole in the wall as much as a Michelin star restaurant - to me good food is good food. This was the most disappointing fine dining meal I’ve ever had. To be totally blunt the food just wasn’t very good. Some dishes like the risotto were good not great while others like the tuna belly (one of my fav foods normally) were awful. I’ve never not finished my courses at a tasting menu before but it just wasn’t good. The vibe was also very sterile and the staff spoke in hypotheticals to the point where we had no idea what they were talking about. For example when the desserts menu came they told us we could have “fresh yet light,” “a timeless delight” etc. The meal had already been bad to this point so I asked if the waitress could tell us what the desserts actually were so we could just pick and she said no. Overall it was a weird experience and not at all worth 470 euro. We ate at Cantinando two nights before and had significantly better food - best pasta in ischia for like 20 euro.

Indaco were sea and sky during sunset became the same color! The overall dinner experience by the sea was superb! The evening went on with many (out of the ordinary) magic entertainment moments. The Chef and his Team made you feeling as you were in a dream. The restaurant deserves much more than a single Michelin star! Make sure you reserve in advance. Highly recommended.

An intimate Michelin-starred restaurant in a gorgeous location. The food is beautifully presented. In the Italian spirit, the flavours are subtle and focus on high quality ingredients is clear. The 5-course tasting menu was absolutely perfect in every way. Service was spectacular. Room for improvement in wine advice; sommelier wasn't prepared to recommend a pairing with the tasting menu. The wine list itself is extensive and provides excellent choices at all price levels.

Indaco is a fabulous 6 table restaurant in the Hotel Regina Isabella. It is located right on the ocean and the restaurant expands outside weather permitting. We had the tasting menu with wine pairings and were blown away at every course. The next day we went back for a one hour cooking lesson with the chef and had dinner again that evening. The chef prepared many items not on the menu including the faux uni (see photo) which was tuna tartare with uni inside and wrapped with squid dye'd pasta as spines. Just one of many fabulous dishes. If you're lucky enough to travel to Ischia (I'd take it over Capri any day) make it a point to visit this Michelin 1-star restaurant. Impeccable service and delicious food.

This is a Michelin star restaurant for reason- the service is impeccable and the view unparalleled. The menu was creative and original. If you love seafood and are in Ischia then you should definitely make a reservation here!
