"Pibati" in Sanskrit means "to drink, absorb, or imbibe," expressing a deep connection to  savoring and enjoying, be it food, drink, or other sensory experiences. With this in mind, Alila  Kothaifaru Maldives Executive Chef Frank Wackerhagen is excited to introduce a refined  concept for its beachside restaurant Pibati, unveiling a new dining destination that invites  guests to explore Italy's cherished culinary traditions. 

Aptly renamed Pibati Sul Mare—sul mare meaning “by the sea” in Italian—the restaurant offers  lunch and specializes in artisanal pizzas and handcrafted pastas. From simple yet delicious classics like Margherita pizza to exquisite pasta creations like Linguini allo Scoglio di Panna  featuring mixed seafood in a garlic cream sauce, each dish beautifully blends Italy's timeless  flavors with carefully selected, high-quality ingredients, including fresh herbs homegrown on  the island. The result of this harmonious blend is comfort food infused with the island’s vibrant  essence. 

Set against breathtaking ocean views, Pibati Sul Mare offers a serene escape for those seeking  a truly memorable dining experience. Here, dining is more than just a meal—it’s an experience enhanced by an alluring fusion of coastal charm and contemporary elegance, with airy, open  spaces designed to immerse diners in the scenic surroundings. Soft, earthy tones and natural  materials create a warm and inviting atmosphere, providing the ideal setting to relax, unwind,  and enjoy the panoramic views of sparkling turquoise waters, while exemplary service ensures  every guest’s needs are met with care and attention.  

Whether gathering with family, or simply relishing a moment of tranquility, Pibati Sul Mare promises an experience that will delight your tastebuds and linger in your heart long after your  visit.
