We had a fantastic meal at this cozy waterfront restaurant serving Sardinian classics with…read moreinventive twists. Located just steps from the sea with waterfront breezes this place exudes charm and understated elegance. While the menu seems familiar with other spots the little flourishes elevate the experience. We started with a divine connolo-like a canolli but a savory crust filled with a light and creamy goat cheese served with amazingly flavorful tiny tomatoes-simple but divine. Their curlighones, another classic, were served grilled with a minty pesto but the absolute pinnacle was the fish. We were two couples and we each got the sea bass (for 2) one Mediterranean style (oven roasted with oil, herbs, tomatoes and potatoes) and the other baked in a salt crust. Each was beautifully served table side with the fish deboned and plated. Melt in your mouth good! The ample wine list features dozens of local options all at great prices. A must go.

If you're looking for a restaurant with fabulous views where you can also dine outside, this is a…read moregreat spot. We got a ​sprawling view of the water from upstairs, which made for ​an ​enjoyable dining experience on a clear 75-degree​ evening. My husband had the pasta with sausage and pistachio pesto and just loved it. In fact, he said it was probably the best pesto he had ever had. I guess than implies that his dish dwarfed my homemade pesto which he used to think was the best. In all fairness, the version at Skipper's was more of a Sicilian style pesto with pistachios, whereas the pesto I make at home for us is a Genovese style pesto. So, I'll let him off the hook this time since the comparison would not be comparing apples to apples. I had the spaghetti​ and lobster entree, which was good, but wasn't quite what I had imagined. I envisioned that the lobster would be intact, but in fact, the lobster meat was diced into chunks. I also wanted ​a lesser sauce-based​ pasta. However, I must confess that my expectations​ weren't met largely due to the​ misinterpretation of my conversation with the waiter. Although Sardinia is a part of Italy, Sardu is also spoken, and it's different than standard Italian. They also make a nice complimentary flatbread, which is included in the standard coperto (cover charge). The flatbread​ alone would easily have been $15.00 in a nice San Francisco restaurant. It was really good​ and easily could've served four. The cover charges in Italy make so much more sense to me than being "coerced​" into leaving ​a tip upwards of 26% in San Francisco to cover the "expected minimum standard tip" of 20% plus the additional SF Healthy​ Tax charges. Most importantly, I can say, without a doubt, that the service we received at every single restaurant throughout​ Italy would put many San Francisco restaurants to shame. We received good to superior service in Italy, without the outrageous so-called "tips" that are expected/mandated in San Francisco. Skipper is located in a beautiful area with several other restaurants to choose from. Definitely a good choice for pleasurable​ outdoor dining.

Truly an exceptional dinner!…read more ... but be sure to have a reservation because while we arrived at 1930 for ours, there was a line out the door waiting for tables when we left around 2100. Great wine, great food .. again, a dining game experience slightly tainted by extremely inattentive service, but we've come to the conclusion that this is either a Sardinian thing, or a "we don't like you if you're not local," thing. For example, we were sent to the register to pay .. without the check .. and the fellow behind the register just looked at us like we were idiots when we tried to explain why we were standing in front of him .. trying to pay our bill. ‍ I don't remember it being like this when I lived here in the mid 90s, but I suppose things change.

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.
