GOOD MORNING ISCHIA! SATURDAY 18TH JANUARY 2014
Welcome to our Ischia blog, Good Morning Ischia! Here you can see the entry for Saturday 18th January 2014.
Good morning Ischia!
Wow what a beautiful day! Yesterday's cloudy grey skies have given way to a crisp sunny morning over here on the west coast of the island. There's a fairly stiff breeze and some wispy clouds but when the sun avoids them it feels really warm again, the perfect day to hang out your washing you might say! The maximum temperature is a very healthy 18° Celcius (65° fahrenheit) dropping to around 11°C (52°F) this evening. The outlook for the next few days however appears quite bleak with a storm expected to land some time tomorrow evening.
Today's photo comes from Ischia Ponte and one of the most highly rated restaurants on the island, Ristorante Al Pontile. Approaching the restaurant via the main thoroughfare of the town it seems fairly inconspicuous at first glance with just a couple of tables outside by the doorway. However, most of the dining is done on a separate terrace which is at the back of the restaurant where a larger area of covered tables by the sea awaits. These tables have some of the best views on the island with the magnificent Castello Aragonese looming large just a few hundred feet away. Restaurants should obviously never be judged solely on their views, nor should that be the primary criteria on which to judge them, and it is for its food that Al Pontile rightly comes out on top of many visitors lists when talking about their best dining experiences on the island. They are best known for their fresh fish and pasta dishes but the menu is bulging with seasonal delights to tempt every palette, while the service is attentive, friendly and professional. Highly recommended!
Al Pontile is just one of many restaurants in Ischia in our guide to eating out on the island. For each of Ischia's main towns we've chosen the very best restaurants, half a dozen to a dozen in each town, giving you a great deal of choice no matter where you happen to be on the island. The guide is broken down into individual pages for Ischia Porto, Ischia Ponte, Forio, Casamicciola, Sant'Angelo, Lacco Ameno, Serrara Fontana and Barano, on each of the pages you'll see all of our recommended restaurants for that town at a glance with an indication of price, the type of cuisine, the décor and the location. You can then click on each restaurant for further details such as photos, maps, contact details, opinion, advice and in some cases, menus.
If you've had a look through our guide and you're still not sure where to eat or even what to ask for, simply drop us a line, explain what you like or what you're looking for and we'll give you some recommendations, all part of our free and friendly service.
Ok that's all from me for this morning, I'll be back with more tomorrow.
Enjoy your weekend!
A domani!
