I had the malloreddus (pasta) with gorgonzola sauce and grated pecorino, and it was superb. Ordered with a prix fixe menu of 17 euros, the malloreddus came with bread, a bottle of water, 25ccs of wine, and a small assortment of excellent Sardinian "dolci" as dessert. I loved the feel of the place!

We did show up a few minutes earlier than our reservation at 7:30 PM & they couldn't seat us as they were setting up. The stand out dishes were the octopus & simply grilled fish. So good, we ended up ordering seconds. The price was very reasonable for the quality & the quantity being served. There is indoor & outdoor seating available. My recommendation is to sit outdoors - you can enjoy people watching while having your dinner. Just be forewarned that they seat smokers outdoors & the crowd does seem to enjoy their cigarettes before & after the meal.

AVOID! Terrible food! I am Italian and have been living in Sardinia for 3 years, I've never seen…read moresuch poorly prepared food. My friend ordered a tuna steak and it came with zero sauce, way too rare (ie not even grilled on the top and bottom part, like rare tuna steak should be served) and extremely dry. We complained and they put a bunch of pinzimonio (raw oil, garlic and parsley) on it, which is not at all what tuna steak calls for. I ordered pasta with zucchini flowers and shrimp and it was barely so-so. Despite repeated complaints, they didn't discount one euro from the bill, in fact they argued that "that's how it should be served" (it isn't, ask any Sardinian cook). Truly terrible.

I STRONGLY advise against visiting this restaurant. This was a meal on our honeymoon and our server…read morewas very ill. As a doctor, she was showing numerous signs concerning for COVID, and my concerns were shrugged off. She was sneezing and coughing at our table while taking our order, and on our food while serving. We asked the manager for another waiter and she kept on serving us. She forgot 3 of our items ordered as well as two orders for the couple sitting next to us. She also dropped our utensils while bussing the table. Clearly, she had no business being at work and the restaurant was ignorant to keep her there. The 1.5 hours between being served our appetizers and first course did not help either. Overall, we were at this restaurant for 4 hours to eat appetizers! At this point, we asked to not pay for the first course because we had no appetite to eat due to the sneezing and coughing, and this was met with a no. As a Sardinian visiting, I can't say how disappointing it was showing my new wife my hometown. 0/10 - would never recommend

As the restaurant specialises on sea food they offer you the catch of the day (so no/ or not many standards)- you can chose from te fresh seafood which is displayed right in the dining room. They will also recommend you the side dishes that go well with your choice and ask how you like your fish prepared, also whether you liked it after every dish. That may sound normal, but in Cagliari you often get the impression that the restaurants dont really care.So this place is a great exception! The food is prepared with caution and dedication (you can just see it by the way they describe the dishes and handle the meals). They also use products of a very good quality, e.g., amazingly fresh vegetables and very good olive oil (which again is unfortunately not a standard in Cagliari's restaurants). We havent seen many tourists in there (actually none, only locals) and we were not treated as tourists as well- the owner (or manager?) even thanked us personally as we left. Maybe the only difficulty here is that the staff speaks better Italian than any other language, but that is why you are visiting the country, right? the prices are very similar to the ones you find in the other trattorias in the city- but the quality of the food and the atmosphere are by far above the average. We had a very pleasant evening enjoying really great food prepared and served by people dedicated to their job and a heartly atmosphere- actually the best dining experience we had in Cagliari. So get a table and enjoy a great meal!

Excellent seafood, had the fresh alici with marinated melanzane and the home made tagliatelle allo scoglio. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the seafood just barely cooked and tender, and the sauce was one of the best mantecare's of the pan juices, olive oil, and pasta water that I've had in Italy. Simply and gorgeously presented, intensely flavored. For the price of 2 glasses of wine, they gave us a whole bottle of Vermentino. Dessert was a fantastic semi freddo...lemon, hand carved/cut, and topped with a wonderful light caramel sauce. We enjoyed the Mirto digestivi....and the price for two was half of what we've been paying elsewhere. Only Italians eating here, no cruise ship passengers. We will be returning before we leave town!
