Ah, found it! If you…read morepeep the photos, you'll see lots of smiling people enjoying beautiful Italian weather, the island of Ischia, fresh seafood, all the goodness. We visited in November. We were lucky to find them open. They were cooking up delivery pizza, and they welcomed us inside, we were the only guests. The owner was kind, I ordered an amaro, we were told the menu was limited to pizza, that day. Well, we'd heard a thing or two about the Italian's pizza expertise, so we went for it, our first -- and one of the most memorable -- pizza sessions of our stay, on or off the mainland. This is just my take, but seems to me most Italian restaurants get the whole Napolitan recipe right. The secret to marvelous pie is forking into the whole thing as soon as it comes outta the oven, like, as close to burn-your-tongue as possible. And I'm pretty sure the owner was extra attentive to the random American stragglers who wandered into his place in November. He wowed us. Unforgettable.

There's always one or two items on the house so that you enjoy and remember your stay. Would move here if I could LOL! 10/10! "From Ciro to the alley!" Delizioso!

I'm not sure how time passed, but we finished our meal after 11:30 pm. Yeah, it was pretty delish. Okay the flat bread was really delish! They served us four baskets with our meaty appetizers before our real dinners came out. I'm bad at falling for tasty bread! I couldn't consume all of what I ordered for dinner: Genovese. My friend warned me about getting this one, but I liked the 'sound' of the list of ingredients. (I should've stuck with the bread and meaty appetizers.) I at least finished the beef from the Genovese. Another friend always comes here for their steak. It's high quality, according to their experience. It looked great too! Eggplant rolls??? Darn I should've ordered that instead. I'm glad our other friend tried it. I was stunned while sleep-eating, wondering how everyone else was still able to finish their dinners - after all that bread; AND they eat fast! We had a beautiful array of food set out on our handcrafted wooden table though. The table post was literally a huge tree trunk! The restaurant is inconspicuous in the daytime. But at night, it has its own stage at the corner of cross streets. Lovely ambience! There is indoor and outdoor dining. They also have 'take away' orders and DELIVERY! Their pizzas are cooked in those fancy stone ovens. My second dinner there was mega yummy: Pizza Giardino. Pleasant service.

It is on the water with a wonderful view of the castle, perfect (and potentially romantic) for an evening meal. Once we arrived on the water taxi, greeted enthusiastically by probably the owner and shown to a table on the water. Was offered the opportunity to see the fresh fish, with each fish explained well (a nice variety of about 6 different types) and also how they were prepared. Started with three fish tartares, which were both good and interesting, each having a very unique taste. My main was one of the fresh fish (which I shared with my wife) with pasta. The pasta was cooked perfectly and worked very well with the fish, which was served on the side so you got a true experience of the very fresh fish. For dessert, shared a fruit plate with my daughter, which was also great. A lot of very fresh fruit. Decided we did not want to take the water taxi home (my wife got sea sick as it is more of a water canoe with an engine) so asked for a regular taxi. Did not realize we had to walk up what felt like an infinite number of steps (probably about six stories) to get to the road, guess we burned up most of the calories from dinner. A great experience with a great view, just think twice before saying no to the water taxi.

As soon as we disembarked it was those two who declared "we know where we want to eat lunch". With the water beside you and the pleasant bay breeze, La Baia del Clipper might be the nicest spot on Ischia from which to lunch. It's a leisurely experience that inspires some lingering which explains why dining here was pretty much all I did on Ischia. The Caprese salad is a don't miss, with its comically jumbo-sized slabs of fresh burrata. Restraint was required lest this become my entire meal here. Three of us desired fresh fish and two different species of freshly caught fish were brought out and shown to us so we could choose which we preferred. I thought the one who desired only a pasta with seafood lost out but then tasted her meal; nobody lost out. Everything here was delicious. You'll walk right past several other waterfront spots to get to La Baia del Clipper, and someone will probably be out there trying to entice you inside those restaurants you're about to pass by. Hold out for the prize. La Baia del Clipper is worth walking by the spots you'll come to before it.

I also really loved the fact that they use dinnerware hand painted on the island. Go here, you won't be disappointed!
