DAL CORSARO
Read moreFor three generations Dal Corsaro has held high the culinary genius of Sardinia. Chef Stefano Deidda explores with talent the specialities of his terroir, incorporating modernity and technicality for a stunning result. The 7 or 11-course tasting menu offers an overview of the best of Sardinia. The refined and elegant setting, the discreet service, the beauty and balance of the dishes make Dal Corsaro the best restaurant on the island. Attention, the menu is for all the guests at the same table.
MARTINELLI'S
Read moreThis former restaurant-pizzeria, opened in 1987, decided a few years ago to devote itself entirely to gastronomy. Today, there are no more pizzas on the menu, but a creative and successful cuisine with a meticulous presentation, where seafood products generously garnish the plates, under the watchful eye of chef Roberto Raccis, owner of the establishment. The soberly decorated dining room, with its brick walls, has a warm atmosphere, but is rather noisy. Reservations are recommended, as this is a popular address.
RISTORANTE ITALIA
Read moreThis Cagliari institution celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2021. The Mundula family has managed to run this restaurant from generation to generation, always with the same recipe: good local dishes inspired by both land and sea. This former salt store offers a different atmosphere between its restaurant, which focuses on local specialities, and the wine bar, which offers a fine selection of oysters and champagnes. Here you can try Sardinian-style pork, fregola with clams, homemade fish soup or sweetbreads.
ANTICA HOSTARIA
Read moreHere you are in one of the oldest restaurants in the Sardinian capital, opened in 1852. At that time it was an inn equipped with stables where the Sardinians came down from the mountains on horseback. The current owners have gentrified the setting with tablecloths, red taffeta chairs and solid parquet flooring. The menu reveals a selection of classic, well-toned dishes (chateaubriand, Milanese escalope), some Sardinian specialities, including malloreddus, or exceptional products such as sea urchins, white truffle or lobster.
TRATTORIA LILLICU
Read moreFrom outside you can see the large and beautiful terrace which is quickly taken over in the evening. Inside, the atmosphere of this neighbourhood canteen is provided by a regular clientele. The tempting smell of its semi-open kitchen and the small, simple, long and unadorned room make this trattoria one of the institutions of the lower town. If the weather is nice, take advantage of the terrace and you will be a little more quiet. Good Sardinian specialities based on whole fish or meat, homemade lasagne, pasta and seafood.
LO ZODIACO
Read moreOne of the most pleasant restaurants in the city. Very good kitchen.
BUFFALO RANCH
Read moreA pizzeria where you can also taste very good horse steaks. With musical animation in the room or in the garden.
TUTTO GELATO
Read moreOne of the largest gelaterie in the city, a few hundred metres from Poetto Beach.
SA CARAPIGNA
Read moreIt is the oldest gelateria in Cagliari, in the area of stadiums and sports facilities, and among the cheapest. It offers ice creams with perfectly original scents such as basil, myrtle and ricotta. His whipped cream is to taste absolutely!
LA GRIGLIA D’ORO
Read moreA restaurant-pizzeria at affordable prices, offering excellent local dishes, including al spaghetti or Une D d'Oro con funghi porcini.
TRATTORIA CI PENSA CANNAS
Read moreNothing exceptional, but offers good value for money. A marine decor.
IL PARADISO
Read moreA concept: a Chinese pizzeria! The result is not quite convincing, but the prices are correct. To try.
SAN REMY
Read moreA "antique" frame with small rooms arched at the low ceiling. The walls are decorated with Roman frescoes. But it's a bit of a sense of paying more decor than the content of the plate. However, some local dishes deserve to be tested: tappadas, snails or brace lamb, and especially flambés desserts, ideal to finish the meal.
