Cuisine of Isola di Ischia for gourmets. Places for dinner - best restaurants

Despite the fact that the culinary specialists in Ischia are true to many Italian cooking traditions, there are also their own unique courses, which you won’t find in other places. One of the culinary "trademarks" of the island are Ischitanian rabbits with tomatoes. The animals are bred in special earth pits and are cooked in a special way. However, the variety of dishes from the local breed of rabbits is great. So if you do not like the version with tomatoes, look for any other variant of cooked rabbit in the menu.
