20 Essential Restaurants on Cape Cod

"Ceraldi is an Outer Cape gem. Chef and owner Michael Ceraldi, who has worked in respected kitchens in Bologna and New York City, brought his talent to Wellfleet to serve locally sourced, elegant fare (with a strong Italian influence) in a rotating, seven-course menu that changes depending on what is in season. Ingredients are sourced close to home, including from the restaurant’s own garden. Pasta, seafood, and vegetable dishes are all delicious and meticulously prepared. Ceraldi offers an optional wine pairing and two seatings per night ($212 pp, an additional $70 pp for wine). Regardless of what is on the menu when you visit, count on a special and memorable meal." - Anna Darrow
