Sole e Mare at Fontana: Award-Winning Italian Dining in Taipa

A Taste of the Amalfi Coast in Taipa

Overlooking Wynn Palace’s Performance Lake, Sole e Mare at Fontana transports diners to the sun-drenched shores of Southern Italy. The dining room is dressed in the warm yellows of Amalfi lemon trees, with live culinary performances adding a theatrical, convivial energy. The setting is an immersive Italian escape, right in the heart of Cotai.

Chef Marco Pacetta’s Neapolitan Roots

Executive Chef Marco Pacetta inherited his passion for Italian cooking from his grandmother in Naples. He refined his craft under Michelin-starred masters Davide Palluda and Guy Savoy in Paris, and later in the spice markets of Bali. At Sole e Mare, he blends Southern Italian traditions with global inspiration, focusing on market-fresh ingredients and the warmth of an Italian family meal.

Dishes Rooted in Tradition

The menu starts with appetizers like Hand-Sliced Amberjack, brightened with sun-ripened citrus. Pasta courses include Homemade Beef Fagottini, a refined twist on Roman tradition. For the main course, the Al Cartoccio Seabass is baked with time-honored techniques and finished with Sicilian white wine sauce. Dessert brings a personal note: Classic Tiramisu, prepared from a recipe handed down by the chef’s grandfather.

Recognition from Wine Spectator

Fontana’s wine program has earned the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence (2025), a testament to its thoughtfully curated selection that complements Chef Pacetta’s vibrant Southern Italian cuisine. Whether for a leisurely dinner or a celebratory meal, this is Italian hospitality on the shores of Macau.
