Looking for a good pizzeria in Ischia means wanting to sit down at the table with the certainty of enjoying a pizza made properly, with genuine ingredients and processing times that are respected. At Nascondiglio dell'Amore pizza is a passion we have cherished for years: we bring the great Neapolitan tradition to the plate, reinterpreted with the flavours and scents of the island. Every pizza is born from age-old gestures, from the choice of ingredients to the baking in the wood-fired oven, because we believe an authentic pizza is recognised at the first bite. Come and visit us at Via Serbatoio 34, just a few minutes from the centre of Ischia.
The secret of a light, easily digestible pizza lies entirely in the dough. We work with selected flours and let the dough rest with a long leavening, so the pizza turns out soft, airy and easy to digest even after dinner. The crust rises just the right amount, the base stays thin and crisp, and the quick baking in the wood-fired oven gives that unmistakable aroma that fills the room. We are in no hurry: we respect the timings of the dough because we know it is precisely that wait that makes the difference between just any pizza and a pizza worth the journey to reach us.
A pizza is only as good as its ingredients. That is why we carefully choose local produce: fresh, flavourful cherry tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, creamy fior di latte, fragrant basil and seasonal vegetables from the garden. Whenever possible we favour the small producers of the island of Ischia and Campania, because quality starts with the raw ingredients. From the classic Margherita to the Marinara, all the way to our Pizza del Nascondiglio with special toppings, every offering tells of our bond with the land. You will find all our pizzas and traditional dishes in the menu.
Eating a pizza is lovely; eating it facing the sea is an experience that stays in your heart. Our terrace with a sea view is the ideal spot for an evening among friends, a romantic dinner or a family gathering. As the sun sets over the gulf, the air fills with the scent of the wood-fired oven and the gentle sound of the waves: this is the moment our guests remember most. We recommend booking the terrace tables, especially at weekends and in high season, to secure the best spot overlooking the sea of Ischia.
For us, pizza is just the beginning. Nascondiglio dell'Amore is first and foremost a restaurant of Ischian cuisine, where you can rediscover the authentic flavours of the island. Our signature dish is Ischia-style rabbit, slow-cooked with cherry tomatoes, garlic, white wine and aromatic herbs according to the traditional recipe: a dish that deserves to be booked in advance. Alongside the rabbit we offer homemade pasta, fresh fish dishes according to the day's catch and desserts made in-house.
