Food started out as a simple need, but has evolved into one of the greatest art forms of the 21st century. It makes sense too – if we’ve got to eat, why not make what we eat more interesting? Innovators of cuisine have spiced things up, added some flair, and built upon classic recipes to create truly extraordinary food, which is why we love it so much at Palmer House Inn. We’ve even put together this handy guide showcasing several of our favorite restaurants in Falmouth, MA! Read on to discover some of the best places to eat near our romantic bed and breakfast. It may even prompt a getaway to Cape Cod so you can taste all of the wonderful local cuisine for yourself!

La Cucina Sul Mare Ristorante and Osteria La Civetta
If you’re in the mood for Italian then you’ve only got one decision to make, north or south?

Whichever one you choose, you’re guaranteed a delicious meal.
