Atop the wine cave Pala will build a permanent, outdoor concert stage which will host a diverse schedule of head line entertainers in the Starlight Theatre. The subterranean wine cave will be one of a kind and will provide a unique, elegant setting for wine enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite selection. The CAVE lounge also will provide an imaginative menu of craft cocktails.
Mama’s popular Italian Chef Luciano Cibelli and his entire staff will remain to ensure the quality of CAVE’s “Mediterranean cuisine with an Italian flair.” CAVE also will offer an extensive wine list from Napa Valley, Sonoma, France, Italy, and Australia, a wide variety of wines by the glass and a creative selection of large format bottles. CAVE will build on the success of Mama’s Cucina Italiana, the restaurant it will replace. The cornerstone will be CAVE, a new 6,000-square-foot, full-service dining experience, bar, lounge, underground wine cave and entertainment complex. Specific opening dates will be announced. All elements are slated to be completed and open to the public just ahead of the Memorial Day week end. It also will add a permanent outdoor stage to Pala’s popular Starlight Theatre. Pala Casino Spa & Resort has started a $5 million construction project that will add new venues to the property and renovate several existing restaurants.
