Every day, we work towards one simple goal: that everyone who leaves Gabbiano Beach takes home a happy memory of Ischia
Gabbiano Beach
Seafront Restaurant in Citara, Ischia
More than dinner by the sea. A memory to take home.
A Place Created to Welcome People
Long before it became a restaurant, this was a tomato field overlooking the sea. It was our grandmother, Elena, who imagined something different: a place where people could slow down, feel at home and enjoy the beauty of Ischia.
Three generations later, our purpose remains the same — to welcome every guest with the warmth and care we would hope to receive ourselves.
Why Citara?
Citara is the last beach in Ischia to say goodbye to the sun. Here, the day seems to last a little longer, where the sea meets natural thermal springs and visitors have gathered for decades to experience one of the island's most unforgettable sunsets.
This is where our family grew up alongside the island, and where our story continues every day.
Our Cuisine Tells the Story of Ischia
Every dish is inspired by the sea just a few steps from our kitchen and by recipes our family has been preparing for generations. Some have been part of our history for over fifty years, while others were created here at Gabbiano Beach and have become signature dishes loved by our guests.

The Way We Welcome You
Where Ischia Says Goodbye to the Sun
Citara is the last bay on the island to lose the light. Dinner here isn't just about the view — it's about experiencing one of Ischia's most unforgettable evenings.
Recipes That Belong to This Island
Our Spaghetti with Clams is one of the dishes that best tells the story of our cuisine: simple ingredients, the freshest seafood and recipes that our family has prepared for generations.
Three Generations, One Way of Welcoming
Everything began with our grandmother Elena. Three generations later, we still believe that hospitality is measured by how people feel when they leave.
Citara
A Place Worth Discovering
Directly on Citara Beach, just a short walk from the Poseidon Thermal Gardens, in one of the most beautiful and historic bays on the island.
We don't simply want to serve dinner. We want every guest to leave with a reason to fall in love with Ischia.
Ischia Guide | Written by Those Who Call Ischia Home
The guide we wish we could give every friend before their first trip to Ischia.
Every year, friends and guests planning their trip ask us the same questions: Which are the best beaches in Ischia? Where should we eat? What are the must-see places? Which experiences are truly worth having?
That's why we decided to bring together all the advice we had been sharing one conversation at a time. Ischia Guide is our free travel guide, written by people who were born on the island and continue to call it home.
You won't find clickbait rankings or generic travel lists. Instead, you'll discover the beaches we love, the traditions we grew up with, authentic local food, unforgettable sunsets and the places that make Ischia unlike anywhere else in the Mediterranean.
Our goal is simple: to help you experience Ischia the way we would want you to, if it were your very first visit to our island.
