Trattoria Il Focolare

Rustic warmth and legendary rabbit stew

This beloved trattoria is famous for Coniglio all’Ischitana and warm hospitality.

Located in the hills of Cretaio on the green island of Ischia, between Casamicciola and the village of Fiaiano, Il Focolare is the perfect resting place for hikers. The specialty of the family restaurant is a typical wild local rabbit dish with tomatoes, garlic and herbs called Coniglio all’Ischitana. Operated by the D’Ambra family, the trattoria exudes a warm, cheerful, and bustling atmosphere and the big hearts of Silvia, Agostino, and Francesco make Il Focolare an extra special experience. Guests often receive personal attention, with the family sharing insights into their culinary traditions and wine-making practices. It’s not uncommon to be invited into their wine cellar for a tour and taste of homemade Limoncello, enhancing the intimate dining experience.
