The Taste of Ischian Tradition
Our cuisine is born from the harmony between the richness of the volcanic land and the constant search for authentic recipes of the past.
Every dish prepared at Trattoria Il Focolare embodies the simple and excellent ingredients of our island: pit-raised rabbit, wild herbs gathered on Mount Epomeo, seasonal legumes, and sauces cooked slowly in traditional terracotta pots.
