Paluca Trattoria is a restaurant that offers a variety of delicious dishes with rich flavors. The menu has many options worth trying, and their wine and beer selection, along with desserts, are highly recommended. It is a kid-friendly and pet-friendly establishment, specifically in the patio area. The location is great, and the service has been described as attentive and great by some guests. The restaurant is able to accommodate special dietary needs easily. The gnocchi is described as fluffy and delicious, while the linguini with meatballs and clam chowder are noted as fantastic, especially the clam chowder, which is praised for its consistency and lack of overpowering flavor. The cannolis are highly recommended, being described as out of this world.
Guests have found Paluca Trattoria to be a charming and underrated gem, especially compared to other places on the dock that seem touristy and gross. The attentive staff, including Jenny and Lina, add to the welcoming atmosphere, with thoughtful gestures like placing umbrellas over diners when the sun comes out. The restaurant offers a great atmosphere with beautiful views of the bay and sea life. The owner has made efforts to keep the patio warm and comfortable, even on cold days. The food is highly praised, with highlights like the lobster ravioli, shrimps pasta, Gamberoni prawns, Ingridina smoked salmon fettuccine, and the Calabrian prawns appetizer, which is described as out of this world. The outdoor dining allows guests to bring their dogs, adding to the relaxed and pleasant environment. Overall, Paluca Trattoria provides a delightful dining experience with tasty food, attentive service, and a lovely ambiance.
