    Given this recommendation by our Cagliari tour guide. Excellent seafood - that's all they do here…read moreand it's extremely fresh. Fixed price menu of EUR 40 - six seafood starters (freshest shrimp ever) and then a seafood pasta, followed by cold lobster with tomatoes and butter sauce. Ended with lemon sorbet and liquor.

    The restaurant actually has two floors, so there is enough room in the evening as it gets quite…read morecrowded in Cagliari. The service is really helpful and extraordinarily nice. 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!

    Fradis Minoris is set in an almost perfect spot. The 400-meter walk along the narrow Peninsula at…read moredusk is magical. From our table we could see nothing but sand and sea and the glorious Nora lagoon. The service is very good -- you are welcomed and cared for by a team that is clearly passionate about the restaurant and takes great pride in attaining the only Michelin star in southern Sardinia. The restaurant itself is nearly perfect with one crucially important exception: the food. The menu is relentlessly creative. The courses are meticulously prepared. There is story behind each one. But while it may be fascinating to have raw cuttlefish mixed into your ricotta cheese, the important question is how does it taste? The answer: just as strange as you would expect. The dessert was presented brilliantly inside a crab shell. But do you want crab (mixed with pearls of pear) for dessert? No, you don't. Some of the courses tasted great (that baked oyster was amazing; I would have loved more than just one solitary oyster). The ember was the simplest course and also the best: it was simple filet of fish freshly caught hours earlier. I think Fradis Minoris has the potential to be one of world's greatest restaurants -- if they would lean more into Sardinia's rich culinary traditions. How the food tastes is, after all, even more important than the creativity of the chef or the stories behind his creations. One more note: I loved the wine list, packed with best wines Sardinia has to offer.
