He was 100% correct -- our sandwiches here were out of this world, and we ended up coming back four or five times on our trip and were never disappointed. This is one of those rare spots where I could order anything on the menu and be absolutely delighted with my choice.

We ordered some classic Sardinian sandwiches, and they were just perfect. The prices are surprisingly very affordable. There was a wait to get a table, and the other restaurants in the area were empty! There is a beautiful view of the harbor. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Alghero and wanting to experience authentic local cuisine.

As it is very popular I would highly recommend booking a table a couple of days in advance if possible! We tried to book the same night, and it was impossible to get a table. We were however told by the locals that you could go to the restaurant and be placed on stand-by to get a table. We did this and it was craaaazy! The wait was not to bad - 40 minutes - but we surely was not alone to do this. It felt like we were just as many standing in line as there was guests eating in the restaurant! It is located close to the old town of Alghero and it is easy to get to and it has a small outdoors serving to complement the restaurant. Both me and my company ordered pizza, with the exception that mine was gluten free. Boy should you order the pizza if you are gluten intolerant! This was the best pizza I have ever had! It had the perfect balance of crunch and softness and the dough actually looked like and tasted like pizza! Here they make their own dough and it was far from the usual sad version of pizza that most of us needing GF are used to getting when eating pizza. As they make their own pizza, we as GF can choose from the same menu as the rest of the guest, leaving you with something close to 40 variants. My companion had a regular pizza and was also very pleased with texture and taste, so this is a restaurant that everyone can enjoy. They have everything that is gluten free clearly marked on the menu and this is a restaurant where we GF people can go crazy. There are bread, pizza and pasta for us to enjoy in abundance! The restaurant was very busy on the Saturday that we were there, but the staff still managed to give fairly fast service. As this place is highly popular and not a "Michelin"-type of restaurant, the atmosphere is relaxed and the volume at times could pretty loud. I would highly recommend this place - especially if you or your companion need GF food!

Well built and beautifully decorated with woven baskets and clay statues. The four of us sat at solid wood table in a dinning room of several tables. As soon as we were comfortable we were offered an included bottle of Sardinian wine, red or white. Then the food started to flow. Since it is a price fix undisclosed menu each course was a surprise. It started with fresh vegetable crudités and some ham, then the cheese course of hard and soft cheeses. A honey ricotta was just so delicious. Then the charcuterie course of prosciutto, serano and wild boar was served. Several other courses followed but I won't describe them so as not to spoil your experience. Everything was perfectly prepared and served with a relaxed efficiency. The wine was excellent and when we finished it were ordered a different, even better, Sardinian wine. Everyone enjoyed this unique experience and best of all was the price! Only 238€, about $280, for 4 people which in a US city would be anywhere from $500 and up. If you are in Alghero definitely treat yourself to Sa Madra. We will be back!

The food I had was ok but not outstanding or inventive. Cute that all of the dishes are named after someone. Our server was not so attentive.

Call and make reservations! At least for dinner. I had reservations for 2000 and saw them turn away…read moreeveryone until around 2200. I won't lie, I wasn't too impressed with this place. Part of it was the service. I felt like they didn't give me the best service, especially watching them interact with other customers. I was the only American there and maybe that was why? Especially when the head chef came out to share a goat cheese (which was quite good). He didn't seem to want to interact with me, like he had no patience for me. I ordered the squid lasagna, the grilled fish and a local starter-but I apologize I don't remember the name and forgot to take a pic. In the English menu, it's listed as its Sardinian name-there's no translation for it. This and the lasagna were ok at best. I wouldn't order either one of them again. The lasagna really interested me as I've never had a squid lasagna and was really intrigued but the flavors of the squid and their lasagna clashed a bit. It was almost not good, like a bitter distaste. The grilled fish was the best and pretty solid but not amazing (like a 3.5). I finished with their version of creme brule which wasn't bad. The table bread they serve though, is really tasty. So dinner wasn't all too successful. I've got to try the lunch menu next time.

The ambiance is nothing special (white walls with some contemporary paintings; a large TV showing Italian fiction with no audio), but the food did not disappoint. We decided to try the prix fixe lunch tasting menu which, for 25 euros it's an amazing deal: 4 starters (3 cold; 1 warm) plus a pasta dish, a bottle of mineral water, half a liter of house wine (for 2 people), 2 persons minimum. The first cold appetizer was cuttlefish with crispy vegetables, and this was perhaps the dish I enjoyed the most: tasty, refreshing, and delicious. This dish was followed by an octopus carpaccio with cucumber, tomatoes, and croutons; and then monkfish with purple cabbage, carrots, and radishes. The monkfish was nicely flaky and firm, but the flavor was somewhat lacking. The prawn tails with pane carasau breading and eggpant caviar was the warm starter, and it was delicious. The prawns were tasty and the carasau breading provided a nice contrast of consistencies with the eggplant caviar. The spaghetti alla chitarra dish with occhiata (sea bream) fillets, zucchini blossoms, fresh cherry tomatoes,and bottarga was satisfying, and it had an intense sea flavor that I particularly liked. Also, I'm a sucker for spaghetti alla chitarra, a type of fresh pasta that you don't find too often. Portions are large, and service is prompt and knowledgeable. If you decide to order fresh fish a la carte, they will bring you the fish first, and let you know the weight/cost, plus different ways they can prepare it. Plating was also very nice. They also serve pizza, but only for dinner.
