A Menu That Speaks Italian Romance
The menu at Ischia is pure Italian poetry. Italy is a country of flavours, where every region has a story to tell and Ischia honours this heritage with a menu that transports your taste buds. The focus is on authentic, high-quality dishes that celebrate Italy’s rich culinary heritage.
Start your meal with Calamari Grigliata featuring tender grilled calamari grilled to perfection with aromatic herbs, spicy sausage, olives and bruschetta. This dish embodies the bold flavours of southern Italy, reminiscent of seaside villages where fresh seafood is the star. Or, opt for the refined Carpaccio di Manzo, a celebration of northern Italian sophistication with seared beef fillet, parmesan, celery, rocket and a drizzle of truffle oil. Absolutely delicious!


For pasta lovers, the Ravioli Di Carne is a masterpiece. Handmade meat ravioli dressed in a nutty brown butter and sage is the kind of dish that makes you fall in love at first bite. Every bite tells the story of small Italian kitchens where Nonna’s recipes have been perfected over generations.
Pizza is the heart of Italian dining and for pizza lovers the classic Margherita is a must-try. A simple yet sublime combination of tomato, fior di latte, parmesan, olive oil and basil. It’s the ultimate ode to Naples, the birthplace of pizza. One bite and you’ll feel inspired to sing, “When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie… That’s amore!”




The Perfect Feast For Every Appetite
Ischia’s menu offers a variety of dishes for gourmands seeking something extraordinary. The Bistecca Fiorentina, a 1.2kg char-grilled cut of beef, is a Tuscan treasure. Cooked rare or medium rare and it’s served with your choice of three sides. Options include lemon and chili roast potatoes, grilled melanzane drizzled with olive oil, or the rich brown butter and sage potato puree.
For a taste of Roman tradition, try the Antipasti Misti, a vibrant spread of Italian cured meats and vegetables, served with fresh bread. A delicious dish hailing from Ancient Rome, where “antipasti” means “before the meal.”
For something truly unique, try the Roasted Carciofi (Artichoke), baked in the pizza oven and served with black olive and orange dressing, alongside carpaccio of lardo. Originating from Rome’s Jewish community, this dish is a rare delight. Timeless comfort is perfectly captured in a classic Caprese salad.






Decadence On The Dolce Menu
No Italian meal is complete without dessert and Ischia delivers in style. Dessert at Ischia is more than just a finale, it’s a performance. The Tiramisu is a contemporary twist on the Italian classic and is prepared tableside, a showstopper that blends creamy mascarpone with coffee-soaked layers in a fresh, contemporary style. For chocoholics, the Torta D’Ischia is a decadent dark chocolate and almond cake paired with mascarpone. This decadent creation is rich and unforgettable, the perfect ending to an exceptional meal.




Sip The Essence Of Italy
Enjoy a glass of vino as Ischia boasts an excellent wine list, including Italian varietals like Sangiovese, Vermentino and Pinot Grigio, alongside an impressive selection of South African wines. Fancy a cocktail? The Aperol Spritz is a refreshing classic that pairs beautifully with the summery vibes.
