What's very localSardinians are accustomed to stopping off at cafés in the morning for a cappuccino - and only in the morning - and at any time of day for a ristretto or espresso. Cafés are mostly frequented by workers in the towns and by the elderly in the villages. Sardinians also love a little aperitif at passeggiata time, preferably a mirto, a myrtle-based liqueur.
