Girl's Trip to Sardinia .. and our first dinner was here…read more I phoned ahead three weeks in advance to make our reservation and appreciated them taking it - in English, no less. Location, location, location .. fabulous sunset and city view that can't be beat! We shared dishes around the menu and enjoyed them all. Additionally, our waiter recommended a wonderful bottle of wine that we have sought out as we continued our trip. We did not like the extremely unfriendly service: people could be a bit kinder in the Sardinian hospitality industry, but maybe it's just a part of their charm.

Impasto is a trendy spot in Cagliari for pizzas, pastas, and small plates for sharing. To start,…read morethe Tartare di Manzetta was cubes of marinated raw beef tartare served on a slice of brioche toast; and the Polpette al Sugo were dense meatballs in tomato sauce topped with Parmesan. On the side came airy slices of sourdough bread, and we also ordered a mixed salad (lettuce, radicchio, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes). Fresh from their pizza oven, the Capricciosa came with tomato sauce, fior di latte, artichokes, mushrooms, ham, and a soft egg, all on a chewy crust. But my favorite pizza was the Primaverde Dell'Orto, a seasonal pizza of spring vegetables (leeks, spinach, olives, escarole), fior di latte, and a cream made of green peas (instead of tomato sauce). The highlight was the pea cream, which had a slightly sweet flavor, complementing the earthy green vegetables.

We picked Impasto for a light dinner simply because it opened so much earlier then all the…read moresurrounding restaurants in the area (6pm vs 7:30) and we had a ride to catch at 8pm. It is always a bit nerve wracking to try a place that seems to open early for tourists but this place quickly filled up with locals grabbing a drink or with small children. It did seem like a place that would have a cool vibe come 8-9 pm and while they did have outdoor seating in between the streets we opted to sit inside. Service as you might expect was a little slow and the waitress walked away half way through out drink order but we eventually got food and and beverages ordered and fresh, hot, crusty bread was delivered to the table. The carbonara was out of this world. The guanciale was so crispy and salty and complimented the rich egg sauce perfectly. Meatballs were hot with a light sauce and a slice of bread underneath soaking up all the juices that would be a sacrilege to leave behind. I really enjoyed the 4 cheese pizza as well. I think thick, chewy crusts aren't for everyone but I like that style. The mix of cheeses gave a good flavor and little bite. I would definitely recommend it for the food especially if you need something on the earlier side.

Perfect place to get ice cream in Cagliari:…read more The Gelateria is situated on a lovely square on which you can sit to savor your ice cream once purchase (the shop is very small you cannot eat in it). The quality of the ice creams is perfect, several very good flavors which seem to be changing quite often. The prices are in line with what I have seen in Sardinia: around 2.5€ for medium size and do not hesitate to add whipped cream (panna), it is delicious. And don't worry you can have ice cream cravings at any time, the place is opened until midnight.
