It's official: Cyril Lignac's Ischia restaurant is changing hands. Denny Imbroisi, a well-known Italian chef in Paris, will continue the adventure.

A new page has been turned in the world of Parisian gastronomy. On January 21, 2025, Ischia, the Neapolitan table imagined by Cyril Lignac in 2021, was handed over to another big name in French Italian cuisine, chef Denny Imbroisi. Known for his restaurant Ida in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, as well as for his many projects celebrating transalpine gastronomy, Denny Imbroisi is set to perpetuate the tribute to Italian cuisine that already made the establishment such a success.

A change in continuity?

Located in the 15th arrondissement, Ischia took over from Le Quinzième, Cyril Lignac's former gourmet restaurant. Opened in 2005, Le Quinzième had been a great success, before the chef decided to make a 180°C turn. In 2019, Cyril Lignac closed this chapter to write a new story, that of Ischia, a restaurant inspired by the flavors and soul of the eponymous Italian island off the coast of Naples.

With Ischia, the host of Tous en Cuisine ventured into new territory, setting aside his French cuisine to explore the richness of Italian cuisine, while adding his signature contemporary touch.

Now, it's Denny Imbroisi's turn to take the reins of this storied establishment. In recent years, the former Top Chef contestant has established himself as one of the most dynamic ambassadors of Italian cuisine in France. With his restaurant Ida and other addresses such as Epoca, he has won the hearts of Parisians with his generous and inventive approach to transalpine gastronomy.

While details of his plans for Ischia have yet to be specified, we can expect him to retain the Italian spirit of the place, while injecting his own vision and energy. This passing of the torch promises to prolong the history of Ischia, while giving it a new impetus under the leadership of a passionate and creative chef.
