Owned by Sardinians, every dish was better than the next. I had the Strangolapreti which was a great balance of light and filling - spinach and cheese dumplings; the calamari was tender with a red sauce with just the right amount of heat; the veal picatta was tender; fresh bread and mozzarella; and the pasta was freshly made and al dente. Terrific hosts. And to made this even better, we sat outside. They have a terrific terrace and you are transported to another site. Great meal. And the pizza rocks as well.
