The Seashell (or Conch) is like many of the restaurants here. It is small and operated by married…read morecouple Renzo (cook) & Franca (host, waitress) and a hired waiter for evenings. La Conchiglia's popularity with tourists and locals means two things: 1) the staff is running their asses off to keep up with client orders and, 2) this review is done out of appreciation, but utterly unnecessary. Our first time, we came here for dinner, arriving right around 1900 when it opens for dinner. We had no idea how lucky we were to even get a table until we saw subsequent couples get placed on a wait list outside. Within moments of opening at 1900, a line of hungry waiting customers had formed which, by the time we finished dinner an hour and a half later, had grown to circa 20 people. For a micro restaurant with seating for perhaps 35, this is an impressive.. The food was excellent, and in unusually good portions from the viewpoint of a typically overweight American (me). We went back today for lunch because we want to see the staff one more time and to get some pictures before leaving for Cagliari :-) Note: One con is the times shown on Yelp where it shows the restaurant is open all day until 2300. Instead, and characteristically for Italy, its is ACTUALLY open from 12-1500, and then again from 19-2300.

What a lunch. We ended up here after a drive around Northern Sardinia. I was a bit skeptical of…read morethe marina atmosphere but once stepping in, we were brought into a homey and cozy space. The menu featured a variety of local seafood and house made pasta. For me, the standout was the local specialty of fregola made with saffron and the local thin bread baked with rosemary (carasau). My husband's appetizer portion of seafood stew had oysters, clams, langoustines...so good. Our host picked out a nice bottle of local Vermintino that complimented our lunch well. We were finished off with house pours of mirto, the local liquer made from the myrtle plant.

I would have gone back there many, many nights if we hadn't found the restaurant on our last. I love when we sent our compliments to the chef, our waiter said, I will be happy to let my mom know. A couple of recommendations on food were the Mussels as a starter, Ravioli with a sweet Onion Sauce (I dream about this one - but it was a special of the day and sadly not on the menu), and the John Dory for our main. Really ridiculously wonderful place from top to bottom. Our hotel had a habit of liking to send us to their brother's, cousin's and sister's restaurants and always deterred us from going anywhere they didn't want us to by complaining about how far it was. On a map, Porto Rotondo said it was about 40-45 mins from Porto Cervo where we stayed but it was really a quick and beautiful 20-25 minute drive. Don't be dissuaded - it's worth the drive from anywhere in Costa Smeralda.
