You stay where you are
You've chosen your cove and you want to stay there. No heading back to port, no mooring, no table to reach ashore: you lunch or dine on board and the day at sea goes on.

comes on board
Stay in the cove you've chosen.
No need to head back to port for lunch or dinner. It's La Grotta that
reaches you at anchor and brings onto your boat the same cuisine that has
welcomed guests to our restaurant for over sixty years, starting with our
celebrated lobster salad.
La Grotta, without going ashore
The restaurant comes to you
You don't come to us. It's La Grotta that comes to you, right in the cove you've chosen. The day carries on exactly where you want to live it.
La Grotta on board
We bring our kitchen to the anchorage: the same dishes, the same hands as always, with fresh fish from the archipelago. The same cuisine you find at the restaurant, on your boat.
Cooking on board · Fresh fishOur signature dish
The lobster salad is the dish that tells the story of La Grotta more than any other. Prepared in front of you and served while you're at anchor, it keeps the same flavour that has accompanied our restaurant for generations.

The same cuisine
as the restaurant
When Enzo steps onto your boat he doesn't just bring ingredients. He brings the cuisine of La Grotta with him.
Father of Fernando and grandfather of Mirko, he is the continuity of a family that has cooked here since 1958. Not a passing guest: with him on board, it's truly La Grotta that arrives, and not an imitation of it.
The fish is the one selected from the archipelago's fishermen, prepared as it has always been. Compared to the restaurant nothing changes — except the place where you sit: your boat.
