The story

Casanova, Polignano a Mare – Michelin-Recommended Italian Contemporary Dining with Adriatic Views

A setting suspended over the sea

Casanova is the gastronomic heart of Palazzo del Suono del Mare, perched above the Adriatic in Polignano a Mare. From every corner of the dining room, the sea is not just a backdrop but a quiet protagonist — a constant presence that shapes the experience. The restaurant occupies the first floor of the palazzo, an intimate space where every detail is curated with care, blending gastronomic excellence with the natural beauty of the location.

Atmosphere and design

Warm and welcoming, the interior balances elegance with a sense of calm. Soft lighting, refined furnishings, and large windows frame the coastal panorama. The result is a setting that feels both luxurious and unhurried — ideal for a placéed lunch, a private dinner, or a celebratory event. Outside, a terrace extends the experience into the open air, with the scent of the sea and the sound of waves completing the scene.

Italian Contemporary cuisine

The kitchen at Casanova interprets Italian Contemporary and Mediterranean traditions with precision and creativity. While the menu changes with the seasons, the focus remains on high-quality ingredients, clean flavours, and presentations that honour the region’s culinary heritage. The wine list is equally thoughtful, offering selections that complement the coastal cuisine.

Casanova’s commitment to refined dining has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026 — a recognition that speaks to the consistency and ambition of the kitchen. Whether you come for the view or for the plate, the restaurant delivers an experience that lingers in memory.
