The quality of the food seems to be interchangeable throughout all of these restaurants as well. We had a pasta dish that was quite good, I don't recall the name of it and the menu isn't online but it said it was "typical Sardegnan". For our second dish we tried the grilled cuttlefish, small fish, and crustaceans plate which was good but overall not worth it. The portion size was fairly small and removing all the shells and bones was not worth the 28euro entree price. The restaurant also charged a 3euro service/cover fee per person, something I think you will probably find at most of these sea side restaurants. With all that said, the view was spectacular at sunset. You are paying a premium for it but you also get a pretty decent meal. The service was also fantastic and the staff was quite friendly. I don't regret dining here but I don't think the food was good enough to merit the price. I doubt you'll do better in the immediate area though.

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.

The outdoor patio was very nice, especially at sunset, but it can get hot with the sun shining on your table before it goes down completely. At this price point/the location/reputation, I guess it's not so much about the value you get with the food. The seafood was fresh & all the dishes were tasty. So, from that perspective, the restaurant delivered on the food. We were let down by the service. The good - our hotel mixed up the dates & the hostess was very professional and gracious in finding us a table. Not so good - it all went a bit downhill from there. The captain that did the seating grumbled while setting up our table & gave us a look like we were clueless tourists. After getting seated, one of the hosts (not a manager, mind you) made it a point to come by & subtly let us know he made us a favor even though he wasn't the one we worked with directly. When we were given the menu, the main wait person was a bit snooty and acted like we may not be able to afford some items on the menu. My friend, who was paying for the dinner, had a Crazy Rich Asian moment and ordered everything off the menu. Guess they got the hint. The manager came by to welcome us & they changed staff who were much more pleasant & easier to engage with. After the meal, the earlier experiences still left a bit of undesirable aftertaste & we decided to skip dessert. We went for gelatos in the mall instead :-) What a shame. We had such an amazing experience at Le Grand restaurant the previous night that we were hoping for a two out of two.

Here you will be able to enjoy GF pasta, pizza and bread! (If you mention that you will be needing GF when booking your table, the restaurant will be able to offer even more alternatives on the menu.) After having mentioned that I needed GF food the manager made sure that I got a pasta that was both GF and fodmap adjusted. What I received was a pasta cooked to perfection, placed inside a big bowl made of parmesan! I have honestly not had anything come close to this pasta dish before or after! The rest of my company had fish and pasta (non GF) and they were also amazed over the quality of the food they got. We did not have any room left for desserts, but did have their own brewed limoncello and grappa which both were real good. If you are to visit only one restaurant in Santa Teresa di Gallura as GF - make sure that it is this one or you will have missed out on some seriously good food!
