In Matera, millions of years ago, there was the sea. Then he retired leaving stone and light. That memory of water and salt, today, inspires the cuisine of the Palazzo del Duca Restaurant.
Each dish, here, is the perfect balance between land and sea, traditions and research, proximity and distant worlds. Because the kitchen of Palazzo del Duca is constantly moving. Like the waves of the sea.
Everything stems from the vision of Mario David. After 40 years of international experience, the Chef returns to his roots to blend memory and experimentation.
Each dish is a balance between technical rigour and emotion, where the authentic flavors of Lucania are reinterpreted with a contemporary gaze. For Mario, excellence resides in the meeting point between past and future. Through local products, he pays homage to his land and the rural culture of Basilicata.
The Palazzo del Duca Restaurant is a place of beauty. The thousand-year-old beauty of the cave that houses the interior spaces and the romantic Sassi that wraps lunches and dinners outside.
