Wow! this is one restaurant I want to visit…

Restaurant Grotta Palazzese has got to be one of the top locations in the world to dine.  Situated on the cliffs of Polignano, this vaulted limestone cave has been converted into a magical shelter for diners wishing to watch the waves crash on the rocks or day dream out into the expanse of the Adriatic sea.

Naturally lit by the aqua marine reflection from the water and the gold glow of dreamy candles at night, it’s easy to see why many a romantic moment has been had here since the nobility held banquets here in the 1700s.

The menu is humble but exceptional; naturally spilling with fresh seafood and handmade pastas and some fantastic local wines too  – which is no surprise being situated in one of the finest food and wine regions in Italy.

Tempted?  Let us book you the most magical seats in the grotto and package up a memorable Puglia gourmet wine experience while we’re at it?  Bari airport is just a short flight from London Gatwick and Stanstead airports and serviced by Ryan Air and British Airways.
