A FOOD DESTINATION

Food is an essential part of the Villa Pagano experience.

In the historic towns and villages surrounding the villa, you can discover Mediterranean cuisine at every level—from authentic street food and traditional trattorias to Michelin-starred restaurants, many of which are within approximately 30 minutes of the property.

Enjoy meat grilled over olive-wood charcoal, handmade pasta, fresh vegetables, local cheeses, and freshly caught Adriatic seafood, accompanied by a glass of local wine.

THE ADRIATIC “RAW FISH STRIP”

Our region has a centuries-old tradition of eating freshly caught raw seafood.

The high salinity of the Adriatic Sea contributes to the distinctive flavor of local seafood.

If you love sashimi, you should definitely try our local Crudo di Mare.

Fresh shellfish, bivalves, shrimp, and carpaccio made from locally caught fish are served in select restaurants along the Adriatic coast.

At Villa Pagano, we can also help you arrange special local culinary experiences.
