Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I would highly recommend. The food is delicious, prices are reasonable and staff is lovely. Definitely worth visiting"
"Delicious food and lovely atmosphere! We stayed in Ischia for three days and came back twice to Taverna Antonio for dinner because we loved the food. The location is great, by the water and the service was amazing. I would definitely recommend going there for an authentic experience."
"We have eaten a number of times and have loved every single time. The staff are welcoming and have an absolute passion for the place. A generational restaurant that will stand the test of time. A must visit when on the island."
"We stumbled upon Taverna Antonio by pure chance—and what a find. They were fully booked for the night, but graciously squeezed our party of two in, and thank god they did. As a foodie, I thought I had seen it all… but octopus carbonara? Game-changer. It’s been two days, and I’m still thinking about it. We also shared the mussel scarpariello, which was packed with flavor, and what I believe was the Ischian bruschetta—a simple yet perfect mix of tomatoes, olives, capers, and sardines. We dug in so quickly I didn’t even get to photograph it. Everything was fresh, thoughtful, and rooted in local tradition with a creative touch. The restaurant is family-run, and Antonio himself was our waiter—charming, attentive, and clearly proud of what they’ve built. You can tell the space was recently redone; both the interior and exterior are beautifully styled, blending modern polish with island soul. Even the pottery was custom and adorable—another detail that made the whole meal feel special. The only (minor) downside wasn’t even their fault: the restaurant next door had harsh fluorescent lighting that interrupted the otherwise lovely ambiance. But once the food hit the table, we barely noticed. Taverna Antonio is the kind of place you remember—not just for the food, but for the heart behind it. If you’re in Ischia, make a reservation. You’ll be lucky to get in."
"I visited tonight with my partner and we were very impressed with the restaurant. The staff were really friendly, welcoming and efficient service. We only went for a light dinner and to share a couple of dishes. However, the food we had was just incredible, by far the best Italian food we have ever had! Simple and delicious! Just fantastic, we hope to return during our trip to try some seafood"
"I would give more than 5 stars if I could!! Very clean and delicious place to eat! The stuff are so polite and nice with babies while a lot of restaurants in Ischia don’t accept babies! Our little baby girl was so welcomed by them and we will go back to eat another dinner there before our departure! Thank you so much"
"Highly recommended spot at Ischia porto. Friendly service, quality ingredients for delicious dishes and reasonable prices. Come early or make reservations at least a day prior because it's a popular place for both tourists and locals."
"My wife and I had lunch at Taverna Antonio yesterday, and we were very impressed. Obviously, the location is fantastic, but the service and food were even better. Perfectly cooked fish and octopus, then one of the best tiramisu we've ever eaten! Delicious!"
