Ah, found it! If you…read morepeep the photos, you'll see lots of smiling people enjoying beautiful Italian weather, the island of Ischia, fresh seafood, all the goodness. We visited in November. We were lucky to find them open. They were cooking up delivery pizza, and they welcomed us inside, we were the only guests. The owner was kind, I ordered an amaro, we were told the menu was limited to pizza, that day. Well, we'd heard a thing or two about the Italian's pizza expertise, so we went for it, our first -- and one of the most memorable -- pizza sessions of our stay, on or off the mainland. This is just my take, but seems to me most Italian restaurants get the whole Napolitan recipe right. The secret to marvelous pie is forking into the whole thing as soon as it comes outta the oven, like, as close to burn-your-tongue as possible. And I'm pretty sure the owner was extra attentive to the random American stragglers who wandered into his place in November. He wowed us. Unforgettable.

We made arrangements in advance to celebrate our anniversary here. The owner Francesco Gabbiano went above and beyond to help make the evening the most unforgettable experience. It was the ultimate fairy tale! Then he went one further and introduced us to his extended family. His mother and father both work at the restaurant. The passion the Gabbianos have for every dish, every guest, every detail of the restaurant is what makes this a standout. I've traveled extensively and this is now one of my favorite restaurants in the world. The ocean beach setting could not be more beautiful. Stay for sunset and it magically transforms into an even more breathtaking scene. The food was fantastic. I had a green salad and tuna carpaccio. It was the best fresh tuna I have ever eaten. My husband had the octopus salad and linguini della casa. To top it off, we were treated to the *chef's kiss* signature Gabbiano Beach dessert the Dolce Gabbiano, which we are now renaming as our anniversary dish. It was HEAVENLY. We happily spent 3+ hours there, and we are not people who typically stay that long in a restaurant. But Gabbiano Beach didn't feel like a restaurant. It felt like a gathering of new family and friends. We consider them famiglia now and shall be returning one fine day in the future. Ti amiamo, Gabbianos! Grazie di tutto!
