Ischia on Beaufort, Italian restaurant in Highgate, Australia
Ischia on Beaufort is an Italian restaurant in Highgate that focuses on the cooking of the island of Ischia and features a large wood-fired oven imported from Italy to make authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas. The place serves pizzas alongside pasta dishes, seafood specialties, and other Italian classics.
The restaurant was started by Sebi and Daniele Conte, two brothers from the island of Ischia in the Gulf of Naples, who brought their family recipes to Perth. Their background shapes what the restaurant offers and how it cooks.
The kitchen celebrates the food traditions of the island of Ischia, with dishes like slow-roasted rabbit, mixed seafood spaghetti, and handmade pasta. These preparations reflect how people eat on the Italian island itself.
The restaurant sits on Beaufort Street and has seating inside as well as dining areas outside and along the footpath. Visitors can use a private parking area at the rear with multiple spaces.
The wood oven was brought directly from Italy and fires up daily to bake pizzas at very high temperatures the way they do in Naples. This special equipment allows the restaurant to achieve the real taste and texture that people expect from the island.
