(Update: 2 May 2013: Most sadly, a serious fire, that seems to have started
early this morning, looks to have put "La Pirata" out of action for a while)

Initially we were put off by the shanty-town look of the many excellent waterfront
eateries to be found along the island's coast.

But eventually we realised how often people were coming off their yachts to eat in
them, or - luxury of luxuries - having their entire meal ferried out to them!

If you've no yacht of your own, this one - La Pirata, in the bay of Cartaromana
- is a great choice as you can get there by taxiboat from either of the pickup
points near the Castello Aragonese in Ischia Ponte.
