archaeological site in Vieste, Italy
Although the entrance is in one of the alleys of the historic center, the dining room opens entirely towards the sea, as it is perched on a cliff overlooking the water. Naturally, the most sought-after tables are on the terraces or near the windows, offering a stunning view. In Domenico Cilenti's kitchen, there's no à la carte option – only two tasting menus (one of which is vegetarian), showcasing many Gargano products from both sea and land.
