Where the tradition of Italian cooking grows not only from the earth but also from the passion of the Colella Family who have lived on the Island of Ischia for over 200 years. It is this heartfelt passion born out of family tradition combined with the freshest family grown produce that makes every meal a memorable one. The explosion of flavour tasting Mama Tina’s cooking is more than a taste sensation: in each mouthful, you taste the warmth of hand tended produce grown in the soil of tradition. The Colella family welcome you to La Casereccia where delicious home cooked food is always available and their friendly family hospitality will make your dining experience unforgettable.
Family hospitality is the essence of Ristorante LaCasereccia. Owned by the Colella Family: Papa Salvatore, Mama Tina and their three sons Giuseppe, Amerigo and Lorenzo; the restaurant is nestled below the Mnt Epomeo overlooking the town of Forio on the Island of Ischia.
Ischia is in the heart and soul of this family whose ancestry on the island goes back for generations. In fact the Hotel Poggio del Sole property which is situated just above the restaurant, was originally owned by Papa Salvatore’s family; while the land where Ristorante LaCasereccia is now located, was originally passed down through the generations of Mama Tina's family. It was clearly, a match made in heaven. The section of land separating the two they purchased together after they married, uniting both families' land and creating the hotel and Ristorante LaCasereccia as they are today.
Each family member contributes to the running of the restaurant in their own unique way: Salvatore makes liquers, wine and preserves; Lorenzo makes the pizza, Giuseppe is your host and manager tending to all your needs; Amerigo will offer you transport to and from the restaurant whenever you are ready; Mama Tina is in charge of the kitchen...altogether, they create La Casereccia as the home-feel family restaurant you will experience when you come to enjoy their great food and hospitality.
