We tried most of their dishes on different nights and every single one of them exceeded our expectations. My personal favourite was the homemade ravioli!! They also have homemade culurgiones and seadas by far the best tiramisu I’ve ever had (and I keep trying it everywhere I go in Italy). Pizza is amazing as well. Best food in Sardinia without a doubt The service is fast and everyone is attentive and super friendly. Amazing atmosphere. This restaurant just has it all.

Delicious food in a very nice location.The staff were all men for some reason, but they were friendly and accommodating.You can tell it’s popular because the place is constantly crowded, and understandably so.I quite liked the Bock Rossa beer and the tiramisù!

Very nice restaurant located in the harbour with a view to the sea. The waiters are very friendly, and they sing The food is of very high quality, and prices are very reasonable. We had Bruschetta and the fish of the day ( Dorade). Fantastic food, you have to try it! …

Fantastic gluten free and lactose free options. Amazing gluten free pizza base and there was a choice of 2 gluten free pasta types. The gluten free pasta and pizza was also egg free.

This place should have a higher rating than 4.4 based on reviews. The staff are always nice, accommodating and attentive. They are all so nice and helpful with dish suggestions. My husband and I love this place aside from everyone being so nice and welcoming. The food is super delicious from the drinks, wine, pasta, seafood you name it. I highly recommend here and enjoy the breezy atmosphere. You get to decide to sit outside or inside. We have came to eat here 3 times and every time it has been absolutely exceptional.

The restaurant is quite elegant but unpretentious, with fabric tablecloth and napkins, a good menu with pizza but also fish and meat dishes, and the service is very efficient.The bruschetta with radicchio and pecorino was very good, then I had a good tagliata di pollo with salad and my husband tagliata di manzo with fries.Even if the place was packed full, the service never slowed down and all customers were treated friendly and efficiently.Great value for money.
