Trattoria Il Focolare

It was worth the hype! Had a wonderful evening with the team in Focolare. You honestly feel like you are being welcomed into someone's home visiting il Focolare We didn't try the signature rabbit dish, but I had the other rabbit main course, I was not disappointed. It's some of the best food on the island. Simple done very very well. We were there for over 3 hours, and couldn't believe time flew so quickly You will leave very full and very happy

Come for the rabbit and enjoy the view! Everything about this place was great. It was showcased by Stanley Tucci on "Searching for Italy." Food, service, views, you name it and I'm telling you it's worth it. Family run and all of the kids are running and cooking in the restaurant. AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING experience. The rabbit is exceptional, but the pastas that come out as the first course....OMG, trust me, you're going to want to try this! Get a reservation b/c this place fills up quick!

Amazing place. The food is superlative—brilliant beans gnocchi, the rabbit is world-class—and the D'ambra family service is super warm. One of the best restaurants for sure.

Must go for the island land cusine. Of course their rabbit is delicious - or the Ischian dish you have to book it in advance otherwise the roasted one is no less amazing! But even the appetizers and the chicken were wonderful. Thanks to quality ingredients and recipes perfectly executed.

The best dining experience in Ischia! From traditional rabbit dish, to incredible wine, most welcoming service and the warmest family-like atmosphere. A rare combination of things that was an absolutely fantastic experience! Extremely recommend, you have to have rabbit!

This place is worth the hype. It’s run by a lovely family. The wine list is excellent. They are very accommodating - they let me have the rabbit ischitana for one when I reserved ahead. The aperativo on the terrace was unexpected and delightful. The rabbit itself was amazing. The price is reasonable. I would come back every time

Thoroughly disappointed in this tourist trap. To start with the menu, the entire menu was translated into English (as it’s a restaurant designed for tourists), aside from the actual food options as they said it can’t be translated.. this makes no sense and I feel like it was done on purpose so that they can push specific dishes on you. We asked for WiFi (as there is no data at the restaurant) so that we could translate the menu on our own but they would not allow us to have access to it so it’s not possible to translate. Then for the food, for a restaurant that prides themself on local cuisine, it felt designed for a basic American palette where they don’t know anything about authentic Italian cooking. All the dishes were overloaded with cheese, cream or deep fried. Considering the quality of the ingredients and what was presented, it is exorbitantly expensive for what you get. I am thoroughly confused by any positive review of the food here and for service, it felt a bit cheeky in how they treated us. Many other places to get dinner in Ischia with a better experience as well as food.

It has an amazing setting in the mountains and a great story but the food is very expensive if we want their famous rabbit and all the other dishes are equally expensive with starters starting from 20 euros and mains from 30 ( some pasta dishes) at 20 That said it was an experience and the staff are warm and friendly
