Located steps away from the main pedestrian drag in Olbia, Antica Licanzias is a cozy restaurant…read moreoffering a menu of traditional Sardinian cuisine, as well as Sardinian products including homemade pane carasau, filiendeu pasta, and sweets. We started with their Focacceria di Nostra Produzione, a selection of soft focaccia breads, including several filled variations stuffed with mushrooms/peppers. The Insalatona Licanzias was a salad of seasonal fruits and vegetables including cauliflower, broccoli, avocado, tomatoes, and strawberries, lightly dressed with balsamic vinegar. A classic Sardinian dish was Pane Frattau, a "lasagna" made of sheets of pane carasau layered with tomato sauce and topped with two soft-cooked eggs. For our mains, Tagliata di "Scottona" di Gallura was a steak of local beef, simply seared and flavored with rosemary; and my favorite dish was the Procetto Arrosto--roasted suckling pig with juicy meat and crispy skin, served with roasted potatoes. Overall, the food here was on point, and the service was friendly too. By the time we left, a line had formed outside, and lots of people were waiting for tables.
