Summer Dreams 2026 - Where soul meets Flavour
There are dishes that tell far more than a recipe.
They hold memories, emotions, and fragments of life. They carry the scent of family, distant summers, Naples, and the Mediterranean.
It is from this idea that the third edition of Summer Dreams was born — the gastronomic series hosted by Regina Isabella, which, during the most enchanting evenings of the Ischian summer, welcomes extraordinary personalities from the worlds of art, entrepreneurship, and entertainment to share their own “dish of a lifetime.”
Alongside Michelin-starred Chef Pasquale Palamaro, the creative soul of Restaurant Indaco, three Neapolitan talents will reveal themselves through the flavors that shaped their most authentic memories. Intimate and personal dishes transformed into refined gastronomic experiences through the encounter between memory and haute cuisine.
Opening the series on June 25 will be Daniele Bellini, known to everyone as “Decibel,” is one of the most recognizable voices in Neapolitan football.
On July 22, the spotlight will turn to Raffaele Carlino, visionary entrepreneur and founder of Carpisa, who will share a gastronomic journey inspired by his roots and the flavors of childhood.
Closing the series on August 27 will be actor Maurizio Aiello, a beloved face of Italian cinema and television, with an evening dedicated to memories, emotions, and Mediterranean conviviality.
Accompanying each dinner will be an exceptional selection of prestigious Italian and French wines offered by Balan — a celebration of history, culture, emotion, and pure pleasure.
Summer Dreams is an invitation to gather around the table not only to taste, but to listen to stories, share memories, and rediscover the most authentic essence of conviviality.

Daniele Bellini - DJ, entertainer, and stadium announcer,
25th June
Daniele Bellini, known to everyone as “Decibel,” is one of the most recognizable voices in Neapolitan football. A DJ, entertainer, and stadium announcer, he has been the official voice of SSC Napoli’s home matches at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium since 2010.
His career as a stadium speaker began almost by chance when he stepped in for a colleague during a Napoli–Juventus match and immediately won over the crowd. Over the years, he has become a symbol of the unique atmosphere at the Maradona Stadium, thanks to his energetic style of introducing the teams and announcing goals, turning the interaction with fans into a true collective ritual.
Beyond his work at the stadium, Bellini has built a successful career as a DJ and host of sporting and music events, earning a reputation for his charisma, professionalism, and ability to engage audiences of all sizes.
Raffaele Carlino - Entrepreneur · Founder of Carpisa
22th July
Raffaele Carlino
Born into a family of artisans, Raffaele Carlino — known to everyone as “Lello” — started from a small workshop and never left Naples. In 1982, he opened the first Carpisa store in the Vomero district; today, the brand employs over 1,200 people and is recognized throughout Europe.
A business built on determination, creativity, and an unbreakable bond with his homeland — “Naples is my DNA,” he has declared on many occasions. Honorary President of Napoli Femminile and Ischia Calcio, and recipient of the Leone d’Oro in Venice in 2023, Carlino is living proof that it is possible to build a major international company without ever losing touch with one’s roots.
At the table, he brings the very same philosophy: authenticity, true flavor, and no room for excess.

History of the review
The project, born from the desire of Luigi Cremona to stimulate a discussion in the kitchen and offer, at the same time, customers a new experience, has seen 56 starred chefs from Italy and the rest of the world parade through Indaco’s kitchens, to offer their testimonials of a high interpretation and quality in signature cuisine. A long journey through the regions of Italy and the different continents that has stimulated Pasquale Palamaro’s creativity and enriched his cuisine in continuous evolution, until reaching maturity with the awareness of being, and wanting to be, a great interpreter of the sea.

““For this year’s Summer Dinner series, which will be held at our Indaco restaurant, I decided to bring my love for the sea to the table and create a truly unique dining experience for our guests. Years ago I chose to return to Ischia, and become a “chef of the sea.” As the sea is an inexhaustible source for raw materials, I’m able to constantly experiment and create new unique flavors thanks to the rich abundance of ingredients right outside our kitchen.””.
