(647)

Enjoy extensive patio dining with stunning views of the Monterey Marina. When we began business as Paluca Trattoria, we wanted to continue the legacy of our famous location on Fisherman’s Wharf. Today, our menu is a work of owner and chef, Sal Tedesco, a Sicily native and the son of an Italian fisherman. Combine his passion for food with his Italian background, and you’ve got Paluca Trattoria. We

consider our restaurant the perfect seaside getaway with pasta, local seafood, sandwiches, small-plate starters, salads, boutique wine, craft beer on draft, and more. If you feel like putting a high-end touch on your palate, see why others trust Paluca Trattoria to serve up freshness with every meal.

Amazing encounter at Paluca! Today we were visited by an osprey. Our location near the water lends to frequent encounters with seals, sea lions, schooling fish, seagulls, and sometimes even sea otters! If you are lucky enough to have such an encounter please remember to keep your distance to not disturb the animal and do not feed them.
