If you find yourself in the Emerald Coast area of Sardinia and are in need of a fool-proof restaurant recommendation, look no further. Spinnaker is located on a high road above Porto Cervo, in an area called Liscia di Vacca. In a small shopping complex, it doesn't look much from the outside. Insist on a table in the back room and you won't be sorry. This part of the establishment has stunning views. Try to get a table in the evening so you can benefit from the rosy glow of sunset over the terracotta rooftops of the locality.
The mixed appetiser for 2 to share is a must. Loaded with fish carpaccios, octopus and seafood salads and shellfish, this is almost a meal in itself. You'll be given the local flatbread (similar to a poppadom in flatness) and perhaps an additional basket of bread. If you get regular bread, smile nicely and send it back; their pizza bread is to die for. Then move onto the tasty main courses. The mixed meat or seafood grills are reliable, my tuna steak was cooked to perfection you almost don't need side dishes because everything is served in such perfect quantities, but don't bet on having space for dessert. Wash it all down with the chardonnay from Alghero, which is delicious, and if you're friendly to the multi-lingual wait-staff, you just might get an ice-cold shot of mirto as a reward. Highly recommended to the point of saying you're certifiable if you go to the Porto Cervo region and don't eat here. read more
