Everything about the experience from the location, to the welcome, the food, the service was so impressive. On a winter's night, we were given the warmest welcome both from the fireplace, and from Antonio, the front of house, who was so professional, and yet created such a relaxed atmosphere. His suggestions were spot on (octopus for starter, rabbit Ischia style, with gnocchi) and Luigi's cooking was divine very high quality and imaginative, but authentic with generous portions. And very reasonably priced both food and wine. These people know what they are doing, and clearly love doing it. As a result, this is a very special place!

Perfect for both a romantic dinner and an evening with friends. The food lived up to expectations. The pasta e patate was spectacular, creamy and flavorful, absolutely top-notch! The eggplant parmigiana also deserves a special mention, being top-notch. The staff is discreet and attentive, always present without being intrusive. The wait times were reasonable (we went during the week, not on the weekend). Excellent value for money, considering both the quality of the dishes and the location. A place I'll definitely return to and one I'd recommend without hesitation.

From the atmosphere to the food, everything feels intentional and creative. There’s a beautiful balance between elegance and comfort — refined but never pretentious. You can really feel the “nomad” concept in the flavors, with dishes that are bold, thoughtful, and full of personality. Every plate was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. It’s the kind of dining experience where you slow down, taste everything carefully, and genuinely enjoy the moment. The service was warm and attentive, making the whole evening feel even more special. If you’re in Ischia and want something a little different, modern, and memorable, Arka is absolutely worth visiting.
