Fresh fish from the Campania archipelago
Martinarosa is the seafood restaurant in Forio where sea cuisine meets Campania tradition and the Ischia landscape. We’re located in Forio, on the western side of the island, with a terrace overlooking the sea—because eating fresh seafood while gazing at the water it comes from is an experience no menu can fully capture.
Appetizers: Raw seafood and Ischian specialties
Our seafood cuisine begins with a daily selection of fresh catches. Raw seafood, fish tartare, octopus alla Luciana, and lemon-scented seafood salad: these are dishes that change depending on what the sea has to offer each day.
Pasta dishes: scialatielli, spaghetti with clams, and fresh pasta
Among the first courses, scialatielli with seafood—including clams, mussels, squid, and scampi—and large ravioli filled with fresh fish and served with garlic-infused oil are the dishes our guests request most often.
Seafood main courses: grilled, fried, and fish sold by weight
Our seafood main courses include tuna fillet in a pistachio crust, fresh grilled king prawns, a mixed grill featuring swordfish, squid, and king prawns, and “fritto di paranza”—small, fresh fish from the Gulf, crispy and light, prepared in the traditional Campania seafaring style. Local whitefish is available by weight, baked, or grilled. Many of our dishes are also excellent for those seeking gluten-free options.
Terrace overlooking the sea in Forio
