Ischia Sapori
This savvy little produce shop is the home of rucolino, a local, liquorice-flavoured digestive made with rucola (rocket). The recipe is a guarded secret, but the liquid is yours for the taking. The shop also sells its own wines, gourmet food stuffs, limoncello-soaked babà, olive-oil soaps, and fragrances, all reasonably priced and gorgeously packaged with trademark Italian flair.

Imagaenaria
Charming and erudite, this little bookshop is also a local publishing house that prints a fetching series of mini-books dedicated to Ischian folklore, culture, history and nature in Italian. The shop also sells rare prints and lithographs of Ischia and Naples at a range of prices. The most expensive date back to the 1600s. Open until 21:00 in winter and 01:00 in summer for some serious late-night shopping.

Antica Macelleria di Francesco Esposito
For a perfect picnic hamper head to this century-old deli. Drop in from 08:00 for fresh mozzarella and wood-fired casareccio bread. Fill the latter with a lip-smacking choice of cheeses, prosciutti, homemade peperoncino (chilli) salami and marinated peppers. Then wash it all down with a bottle of falanghina (dry white wine). Meraviglioso! (Marvellous!).

L'Isoletto
Stock up on a mouthwatering selection of local produce, from spicy peperoncino (chilli), rum-soaked babà and lemon-cream cannoncelli (pastry filled with lemon cream) to Ischian vino and the ubiquitous limoncello. Less tasteful - but equally delicious - is a collection of kitsch tourist tack, from seashell placemats to 3-D souvenir wall plates.

Riccio Calzature
Italian footwear sans the designer price tag. Men's, women's, formal and sporty, last season's stock is slashed by up to 50%. Fashion victims needn't fret. New-season stock is also available, at new-season prices. The choice isn't huge but definitely worth a browse, with names such as Diesel, Richmond, Miss Sixty and Cesare Paciotti in the mix.

Looking for a Renaissance pistol? Pick one up at this offbeat ode to all things vintage Italian. It's all here, from antique Ischian urns and handmade Punchinello dolls to shining armour (knight not included). Take a detour through the leafy back garden, complete with giant lemons, sleepy turtles and one very determined pussycat.

Percorsi Comunicanti In Galleria
Contemporary ceramic respite from smiling sun platters. This slick little gallery features bold, contemporary ceramics from Neapolitan artist Massimiliano Santoro. A modest selection of Murano glass jewellery and designer silk kaftans further loosen the purse strings.

Zeus Faber
A dimly lit mix of boho chic and local art. Indian pashminas, embroidered sandals, jewellery and handbags sit beside vintage prints, one-off gauche re-creations and owner Rosario De Paola's original paintings of a fiery Vesuvius.

Grifo
Cool threads for fashion-literate guys. Stock up on Burberry, Richmond, and St Tropez label Vilebrequin. The pastel-striped Borrelli sweaters are sublime. Across the street at no. 162 is the women's store.
