The food was excellent. My husband had a medium rare steak entree. (First steak in Italy!) It was…read morecooked perfectly medium rare, the spice and juiciness of it was divine. We really enjoyed the bed of arugula it was served on as well as the shaved Parmesan on the side that I used to top my spaghetti a la Carbonara. Which was also a fabulous dish. Not too creamy, but the crispy pancetta/bacon was full of flavor. It was a very good late lunch. The service was a little slow but understandable since a lot of places close around 14:30 and open up again in the evening about 18:00. They were extremely busy. We ate in the air conditioned inside area and I could see the chefs whipping up the wonderful food.

I had the lasagna which was excellent and really hit the spot. The rest of the group went for seafood and everyone loved what they got. The mix of energy from the crowd and the quality of the food made it a memorable evening! The streets close down at 8 PM so for walking and markets so after dinner we had a wonderful walk through the city, would recommend for sure!

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.
