I was getting disappointed with the limited cuisine in Napoli God how much pizza can one eat?…read more Procida provided us with a much needed change in a huge way. When we got to Procida, we went to Marina di Corricella and walked by the waterfront restaurants trying to decide where to eat. La Lampara sits high above the marina providing a nice view. But I can not say enough about the amazing food experience. Don't waste your time and money on the standard dishes. This place and it's food we ordered you can not find anywhere in the US. I will never forget what we ate. We had the Seafood Caprese to start. It's two mozzarella filled with anchovies and smoked swordfish. My wife order the seared tuna and I had the fried salted cod. Each were excellent and well worth it. But the dessert was something I will never ever forget. The lemon tiramisu!!!!! Excellent food. I told my wife that when I grow old and suffer from dementia, I will likely forget everyone's name but I will never forget La Lampara. :-)

Procida di mareeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!…read more There's nothing but seafood in Procida! And if you are not Italian/ or don't speak the language: you are so done for! So here you go: thank me later! Key words you need to know! Ciao! Piacere Vino di casa, pesce, calamari, pasta di mare e aperitif! Grazieeee! Basically: you go and order a bottle/ a growler of wine, you eat with the guy that caught your fish that day as they talk about their famileis and wives! You also eat with Italian tourists! Aka the Italians from the mainland that came here on a their massive yatchs! The restaurant will send you a tiny boat to your yatch to pick you up for free. Though its pretty much a stone throw away, ya can't swim to here. So rocky! Plus watching people stumble and crawl on those fishing boats is pretty much a bonus!! Alright so back to food. First and foremost: you gotta sit outside. No AC here! Doesn't matter how hot. You're lucky you have fans! Plus you get to see the beautiful Castle! It lit the area up substantially at night!! This island is wayyyyy worst when it comes to meat. Aka NOOOOO meat! Zeroooooo! My diet include 80% seafood regularly but this place got me craving meat after a while. That being said: fish is all you want!! All the shellfish! Menu is super small aka minimal when it comes to sauces/prep style. But you get your island favorites. Grilled seaood, fried seafood. Pasta here are usually and mostly in olive oil ( which is the only way to eat if you ask me!!) It is pricey but you are in this stunning island and you are wayyyy down! Unless you are willing to travel by boat in the dark: you stay put. Service is very laid back and Italian. The owner usually is drinking wines at the next table. People come here to eat and catch up. No upselling. You tell them what you want from the beginning aka order your appetizers, primis, secondis, dolce and then some. No fuss. Eat and stay as long as you want!! When in doubt: go for fried seafood. I don't do fried food as often back in the states but Italians do the fried food wayyyy better. It smells and taste heavenly!! Do wear mosquito repellent though. It's a very dim lit fishing village area! Unless you wanna be a buffet for those flying creatures!! Unless of course: you are here for lunch!!! Then you'll just eat and drink and sun bathe like nobodys business. Once the place is full: no more tables for that meal service. Italian style! Aka long meals :D I fortunately or unfortunately had a place right above this!! I can hear the ruckus and see them all night long! :D I can also yell out curse words in Italians and ppl will say hi back happily! And even hold a table for me! Now that's amore! Teeeheeee!

When in Procida!! Mangia di mare!…read more The only things you will find on the menus here are seafood/ fresh catch that day! Meat here cost an arm and a leg and well.. why would you want to eat meat anyway! So much good seafood. I was staying right next to this spot/upstairs. Coming down for dinner by the water was super convenient. Also I was eating with the fisher man that caught my dinner. They were excited to say ciao!!!!! Love it. This is the other side of the island. The non ferry side. You can only come here by boat. More picturesque. No English. Super cute! Stunning views. And really good food side. A total of maybe 3-4 spots here. This was pretty good.! I came for a late dinner ( most places close down by 8/9 pm on this side) during June! June is Italian tourist time. It was mostly empty. But mostly great. The star of my dinner was the octopus! Which was also fresh catch of the day. I saw them being dry outside during the day! A lot of octopus! I had octopus in various dishes. From grilled, fried to salad! Loved them all. Frito misto ( mix seafood fried) was amazing! All the seafood of the day! Fried perfectly! The grilled prawns were amazing. And it took over 2.5 hours. Italian style! Slow and delicious meal! Outside! Perfect weather! Perfect music! What's not to love.

The pizza is delicious. The pasta is incredible. They have fresh seafood everyday and the wine just keeps flowing and flowing. They really treat you well on this island. You don't pay for everything. 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!

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.
