Grotta Palazzese, One of the Most Beautiful Restaurants in the World

Disney fairytale setting, with the sea embracing the view, rock walls naturally complementing and welcoming the visitor, candlelight to complete the picture, perhaps with the help of a full moon or a starry summer sky. And menus with highly refined cuisine. In short, evocative and magical atmospheres recreated in the cove of the cave.

Seafood recipes obviously prevail in the variety of recipes offered, because here the scent of the sea is the master, while the waves recreate a melodious and caressing background. The colors of the expertly composed dishes is a treat for the eyes as well as the palate. Those who come here, in short, have a real experience.
Every chef would like to cook for the guests of this location, re-proposing in their dishes the colors, scents and suggestions of a place kissed by nature.

This exceptional restaurant can accommodate up to one hundred and fifty people in a place that, although outdoors, is sheltered from the vault of the cave. On one side it overlooks the sea, with a splendid view of the coastal landscape and the marine horizon; on the other, towards the larger cave, the cave itself being composed of two caves of different sizes.

The entire terrace also includes an area with more reserved seats. The view from the terrace is absolutely breathtaking. It is open from May until October and strict clothing rules are followed. Reservation is necessary, since the restaurant is full any day of the week.
