ischia restaurant

absolutely brilliant, 5 diners, 5 very happy customers. fantastic meals, fantastic service and fair priced meals. we will definitely be coming back.

excellent service!! staff are very friendly and accommodating, our waiter was amazing. ordered arancini balls and was expecting them to be filled with a bit more arrabiata sauce than what they were; although average they were still good. i had the gnocchi napoletana and my partner had the pappardelle ragu; both beautiful, the gnocchi was very soft and fluffy and flavour of the ragu was delish! we were expecting a bit of a wait as it was quite busy when we arrived. we ordered everything at once and mains took at least an hour before they were brought out; our waiter apologised profusely for it and brought out complimentary tiramisu after we had eaten which was lovely 😊.

popular, cosy, warm and friendly.
extensive italian menu, including woodfired pizza.
a lot of italians dining in when we were there, so that’s a good sign. a little bit pricey, but very tasty and generously sized.

"tried" to have lunch at ischia ristorante. after ordering starters and some drinks....we were left waiting over an hour for our mains to arrive. after mentioning to the waitress we were in a hurry, the mains did arrive only to be incorrectly served to another table. i tried calling out to the waitress "wrong table" only to be told to keep quiet....whilst she offered condiments. when they did eventually work it out, the other table already commenced our lunch...obviously tired of waiting of their own or perhaps no idea of what they themselves had ordered. poor, poor pi.s poor service....here's an idea perhaps you should implement some table numbers?

needless to say we paid for our drink and starters and were happy to leave. no offer of discount or formal apology. suggest you avoid this disorganised rabble and don't waste your time.

great food. a tad on the expensive side but the flavor made up for that and was worth the price.

great cacciatore. great bolognese sauce on the gnocchi.
pollo fettuccine was delicious.

friendly, efficient service. the gnocchi was delicious and a big portion. hubby had ‘njuda pizza and said was really good. great atmosphere!! best restaurant i’ve been to in perth for a while.

we came for a weekday lunch date. it was easy to book online but not required with the restaurant only half filled. staff were super friendly upon arrival and throughout the dining experience.. impressed. the nduja and tartufo pizza both had really enjoyable toppings.. different twist to the standard options from other places. only thing i didn’t like was the base was slightly too thin which made it difficult to pick up.
highly rated and will definitely be returning.

i’ve popped in to ischia twice now for dinner in the past month, and whilst the food is delicious the service is just absolutely terrible. there are always multiple waiters & waitresses standing around gossiping and even bickering at times. both times we’ve had to try catch them as they pass and get their attention. on our last visit we had finished our entree and main meals and just ordered dessert and they brought us back our menus and asked if we were ready to order our mains?! whilst the food is of a high standard nothing else really matches it, and we won’t be returning after our experiences unfortunately.

great food, atmosphere and service. would definitely recommend the focaccia, seafood marina, and tiramisu.

came here for the first time with my family and was pleasantly surprised. staff are super friendly and very accommodating. the food was all delicious with lots of variety on the menu. very family friendly restaurant. we will be back!

it was my first visit today and i have to say i was impressed. the staff were helpful, engaging, and super friendly, and the food was delicious. i had the bruschetta and a capricciosa pizza with anchovies. the bruschetta needed a little something to give it a lift, but the pizza was perfect and that's why i was there. i'll be back.

i have been to ischia a few times now and unlike some of the other reviewers on here, have yet to find something to whinge about.

our most recent visit was as part of a group of 6.  the decor hasn't changed much since the building housed siena's all those years.  they have added some 1960's style photos of their namesake island, but it's a big, airy room, suited to the cuisine it serves.

the offering is similar to siena's - good, hearty, bold italian staples and very good pizzas.  it is better that its predesessor though.

the service is always friendly, with several staff being "genuinely" italian.

someone mentioned that it is a bit pricey.  i haven't found it to be anything out of the ordinary for beaufort street price-wise and the pastas are particularly good value.  

i shared a bruschetta for my entree and launched into the linguine puttanesca for main.  it was rustic, loud and when topped with extra chili oil and parmesan, just heavenly.  $22 is not what i would call expensive.   

corkage is a little steep at $8 per bottle, but that is a small inconvenience.  my score is probably a 3 1/2, but i am not sure how to do that so will err on the side of generosity with a 4.

some of the yummiest italian food in perth. i have only the highest compliments for their pizza, pasta and meat! staff is so friendly and got to know me by name after just a couple nights here. all round great experience every time i come!

excellent food, great prices - it only cost us $110.00 for three courses for two people which is great especially given the quality of the food was amazing.

food was nice!! didn’t have to wait long to be served or to have our food served to us. very busy on saturday night- good vibe. but too many tables too close to one another which is a bit uncomfortable. other than that it’s a great place. would go back again!
