The best restaurants Sardinia

This pizzeria, facing the city fair, offers very good salads. For dessert, try its affogato al cioccolato, a vanilla ice cream cut with gianduia cream. Large or small.

Excellent fresh fish.

Located on the ramparts, facing the ocean, this restaurant offers a magical view (especially during the sunset). The management motto: be the ambassador of the perfumes and flavours of Sardinia. Fresh products, seafood trays, fish carpaccio, tuna to pistachios. The kitchen is tasty and refined. Light music of atmosphere in the lounge, romantic atmosphere, here is a place to go to the end of the night. Attention: reservation almost mandatory.

It offers excellent Sardinian cuisine at affordable prices.

On one of the small squares in the old town, a typical restaurant specialized in fish and seafood. 

The restaurant at the Riviera Hotel. This restaurant has written the most beautiful pages of Sardinian gastronomy with its famous lobster and other dishes of regional culture. For fish lovers the choice is great: absolute freshness! With a large bay overlooking the sea, the atmosphere is summer. Attentive service.

Without a doubt, our favourite in Nuoro. Shop and restaurant at the same time, you can come there at any time, either for a shopping session or for a delicious meal. The large terrace on the square is very pleasant in the evening. In the warmer hours, the elegant black and white air-conditioned room is a must. Here you can sit under large hop garlands and enjoy a typically Italian cuisine with a lot of creativity. Ravioli with squid ink, pasta with mussels and shrimps, half-cooked red tuna... It's beautiful and good at the same time. We love it!

This is THE restaurant in Porto Torres, the one everyone in town knows and has tried at least once. Set back from the street, well hidden behind a hedge of trees, it's located just opposite the San Gavino basilica. On the menu, good pizzas in a friendly, chic atmosphere, with pretty white tablecloths covering the tables. The seafood pizza topped with mussels and the Neapolitan pizza are a treat. This is authentic, popular and fresh seafood cuisine: it's worth the detour and the prices are low.

A sunny terrace at the foot of the castle, an inviting setting for mouth-watering cuisine - that's what awaits you once you've climbed to the top of Castello! Lobster from the Gulf of Asinara cooked Catalan-style, smoked langoustines with basil sauce, fish antipasti based on the catch of the day, orange crème caramel, cannolo with ricotta - these are just some of the tempting proposals concocted by the chef. We can't say it enough: this is our favorite address in Castelsardo, not just for the food, but also for the warm welcome and customer care. Bravo!

Attention jewel! Su Murruai, despite the modesty of its chef, is a real gastronomic address at a reasonable price. The fine decoration, the muffled setting and the light tones of beige are echoes of the nourishing earth. This finesse continues in the plate with dishes with frank and subtle flavors. The chef reminds me that we don't divert the product here, we serve it as it is so that it expresses all its essence. Slow food philosophy and zero km are the credo of the store. Extra fresh and high quality of course to reach such heights. We love it!

We love this restaurant which was recommended to us by the Hotel Corallaro. It is not a beach restaurant, you will not have your feet in the water, but your taste buds will remember it! At Pema we serve a bistronomic cuisine worthy of the best restaurants on the island. The refinement of the cuisine and the associations of flavors moved us: unforgettable linguine with sea anemone! As for the cooking of the octopus, it was just perfect. The decoration is superb, modern with a rustic touch, the staff and the chef are adorable. Bravo !

When a restaurateur tells you that people from Cagliari come to his place (an hour's drive away) just to taste the fish, we're doubtful. But once you get your feet under the table, everything becomes magical. Antonello is more than a chef, he's a true goldsmith. We were blown away by his refined and inventive recipes. Bravo maestro, we're verging on gastronomy! Unsurprisingly, this is the best restaurant in Mandas and the region. We were also won over by the kindness of the man who told us his story... to the music of Phil Collins.

It all started with a delicatessen opened half a century ago. The reputation of the establishment led the owner to create the restaurant in 2019. The secret of quality is simple, says the owner: "we have the slow food spirit, the animals come from my farm and the wine from small local producers. The resale space also offers cheeses and fine products. The vaulted room, which dates back to the Middle Ages, is superb, but it is especially in the plate that the gustatory adventure is striking. And what kindness! Big favorite of the Futé...

"Ottimo" is Italian for "excellent". Excellent setting, you couldn't dream of a better place at the foot of the dunes, with a view that embraces the entire beach. Excellent, uncompromising seafood cuisine: Andrea decides on the menu only the day before, as his entire philosophy is based on the products of the local catch. Among all the delights, we succumbed to the "confit" octopus, quite simply exceptional. For wines, close your eyes and let Simona advise you. All in all, Mates offers a true gastronomic experience. It's magical!

Welcome to Vito's, the very family restaurant located at the entrance of Sennori. It is an institution, not to be missed. Vito welcomes you in his beautiful house with a large dining room opening onto the terrace. The view is exceptional: you can see the island of Asinara in front of you and the tip of Stintino. It serves traditional Sardinian and home-made cuisine. The menu is made according to the availability of the food: oysters, octopus, sardines, spaghetti with cockles, fresh vegetables... Trust Vito, you will not be disappointed and the bill is not expensive.

In the heart of the Budoni pine forest, a beautiful address as chic as it is shocking! The young and daring chef gives free rein to his imagination by imagining an exciting cuisine where regional products are dressed in modernity. To give you an idea, the culurgiones here are with black truffles, the tuna in a mustard and pistachio sauce and the parfait glacé forgets hazelnuts and turns to mango. A setting that also lends itself to a drink at aperitif time, given that the bar has built up a solid reputation.

Let's get the suspense out of the way right away: Gianluca is a couturier of taste buds, and an evening at Liberty is a fabulous gastronomic voyage. He's equally at home with seafood and mountain produce: the octopus is to die for, and the meats are perfectly cooked. The finesse of the dishes reflects the setting - Liberty means Art Nouveau - and the staff. The wines are delicious, and you'll be advised by a real sommelier. Everything is beautiful and elegant! We spent a wonderful evening in a truly atypical and enchanting place.

The Nascar Hotel's restaurant is undoubtedly one of the best in the area. The careful selection of top quality products such as local red shrimp (so fresh that they are offered raw or marinated) or fish returns gives the cuisine a lightness and authenticity that is unmatched. Typical dishes like fregula or fish ravioli are executed to perfection. A few steps from the sea, the tables are set in a garden of holm oaks lit by the moon and candlelight ... Magical!

Da Lucio is the place to be on Marceddi. Situated on the seafront, facing the fishing boats, the restaurant has existed since 1971 and its reputation reaches every corner of Sardinia. It takes advantage of the many pelagic assets of the surrounding waters: black clams, mullet, sole, sea bream, sea bass, shrimps... A little extra of the house: the wine is a pure home-made production and the whole cuisine responds to the slow food movement, favouring local producers and products. Reservations are highly recommended, especially in summer.

Nicola, a young chef with a wealth of experience on the continent, set himself the challenge of giving this restaurant a second life. Binzas surprises with its original dishes and subtle, surprising combinations. We love the balance between colors and flavors, the choice to favor small wineries and to seek the beautiful in the simple. "Small is beautiful", just like the intimate dining room (barely 20 covers), with its sober, uncluttered yet warm decor. A romantic setting and an up-and-coming chef!
