Have you ever dreamed of dining inside a sea cave,
surrounded by the sound of crashing waves and views of the endless Adriatic Sea?

Welcome to Grotta Palazzese,
one of the world’s most unique and romantic dining destinations,
hidden in the charming seaside town of Polignano a Mare, Puglia.


A Once-in-a-Lifetime Dining Experience

Carved naturally by the sea over centuries,
Grotta Palazzese offers a setting like no other—
an open-air cave restaurant suspended above the water.

As you take your seat,
you’ll be greeted by breathtaking views of the turquoise sea,
with waves echoing off the stone walls,
and the golden glow of sunset reflecting off the water.

It feels surreal,
as if you’ve stepped into a dream.


What’s on the Menu?

The restaurant serves contemporary Italian cuisine,
with an emphasis on fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients.

Expect multi-course tasting menus
paired with fine Italian wines and champagne.

However, keep in mind:
- The prices are premium, starting from €200+ per person.
- The food reviews are mixed—some praise the experience over the taste.

That said, the atmosphere alone is worth the visit,
especially for honeymooners, special celebrations, or once-in-a-lifetime travel memories.
