We've been to this wonderful restaurant on the port of Ischia three times, each time trying different dishes. Portobello stands out from the others in terms of quality and quantity! The carbonara was excellent, and the seared tuna in a pistachio crust was delicious. One of my favorite things was the gnocchi, truly sublime. They also have my favorite wine, Amarone... delicious...

This restaurant was my favorite in all of Ischia. We came back twice. The staff was so friendly and always ready to help, very quick with the food and suggested us what to do on our trip to Ischia. The seafood pasta, pasta with clams, and dorada were so tasty. The seafood pasta was genuinely the best I’ve had. There was a super cute cat that we played with. The restaurant is right on the port so the view and atmosphere are great. We traveled in the off season (November) so it was quiet and peaceful.

We went there as a couple after a busy day in Procida and arriving by ferry to Ischia. We were tired but the friendly staff quickly made our day better. They are welcoming and very friendly, asking how you feel about the food, smiling. It is just a very nice, relaxed atmosphere. The food is, of course, very tasty. Do not hesistate, this is a really nice place.

I had an outstanding dining experience at this restaurant in Ischia! The food was absolutely delicious – everything was made with fresh ingredients and full of authentic Italian flavor. Another big highlight was the staff: extremely kind, friendly, and attentive. They made us feel right at home, always smiling and ready to help or recommend something from the menu. The atmosphere is relaxing – ideal for a peaceful vacation evening – and the location has that charming Italian vibe that completes the experience beautifully. I wholeheartedly recommend this place! I’ll definitely return with pleasure next time I’m in Ischia.

I rarely choose to eat on the main strip of destinations, however having caught a glimpse of the level of food being served I was curious. My curiosity was more than rewarded. Portobello is a proper, family run restaurant serving the kind of food that you remember for a long time. I’ve enjoyed a lot of pasta in my life, in-fact in my career I work across the premium food industry. That’s why I wasn’t expecting Portobello’s Mazara spaghetti dish to be possibly the best pasta dish I’ve ever eaten. Sweet Mazara red prawn meat, a silky tomato bisque, perfectly cooked pasta, the whole dish was balanced, moreish and unique. In my opinion this dish would shine in any restaurant in the world. All of the other dishes followed a similar level, with a smooth carbonara with good quality smoked pancetta shining through, moreish grilled breads, good wine and very fresh squid.
