The wine selection is extensive and includes Italian wines (most everywhere in Palma it is hard to find wine that is not Spanish). The owner and chef is from Puglia in Italy. We parked in the parking lot across from Sa Llotja on the other side of the main street Avinguda Gabriel Roca and walked up one of the streets going north and finally got there after asking for directions a few times.
