The best restaurants Sant’antioco

"Renzo e Rita is a fine example of a reasonably priced pizzeria and restaurant in Sant'Antioco. With an elaborate menu of Sardinian dishes and a wide choice of pizzas, this address is sure to please. Visitors are seated in a long, air-conditioned dining room. It's best to sit at the back of the room or on the terrace, away from the pizza oven. The chef offers some forty varieties of pizza, all of which please the many regular customers. So much so, in fact, that it's best to make a reservation, as it's often fully booked.

You wouldn't expect to find such a refined restaurant in the small town of Sant'Antioco, and yet... Da Achille revisits all the best Italian specialities and cooks them in its own way. Meat, fish, pasta, are nicely prepared in beautiful dishes. The restaurant of the Hotel Moderno is a favourite with locals and tourists alike. The restaurant is decorated with natural materials and small touches of original colour. It is a change from the rusticity of many Sardinian restaurants.

You will be greeted in French in this small restaurant away from the heart of the city. It is located at the exit of the bridge that connects Sant'Antioco to the island of Sardinia. This beautiful little address off the radar offers many Sardinian specialities, fresh fish and pizzas prepared on wood fire only in the evening. Fried squid, large prawns, crabs are part of the menu. The cosy room breathes a marine and coral atmosphere. Fan-shaped tablecloths and napkins, green plants and floral arrangements show a sense of detail.

This freshly opened brasserie-restaurant, with its modern, industrial decor and view of the gleaming vats, won us over. It serves excellent pizzas, accompanied of course by the house beers brewed on site. The foams are almost organic, unfiltered and additive-free. But the cochonnailles served on a plank (as well as the cheeses) are truly succulent. Rubiu ("red" in Sardinian) is the story of three friends who are natives of the island, and they'll tell you the rest because they're so adorable.

"Dalle nostre barche alla tavola, un lavoro di famiglia": everything is said with these words that remind us that fishing arrives directly to your table. A family history for generations and a fishermen's cooperative that runs a restaurant. Installed on the terrace facing the small port, you will taste fish of a rare quality, kilometer zero as we say in Sardinia, ultra fresh and local. The service is attentive and the owners are very friendly. We like the atmosphere of the sea front of Sant'Antioco, like a little air of Ile de Ré...
