    The nibblies
    Adam L.

    Tanit is an interesting place: the location is AMAZING (inside the Poltu Quatu resort, facing the harbor which has BEAUTIFUL sunsets), hosts a very attentive and knowledgeable staff (don't be afraid to ask for wine recommendations!), an impressive menu sure to please everyone, and an equally impressive wine list. We had reservations for 8:00p.m., and the place was empty. I mean, dead. And yet they sat us at a table quite a distance from the edge of the balcony overlooking the harbor. I asked to move, and we were told it wasn't possible. We wondered about that, until about 10:00p.m..... when the place got PACKED! Very odd, since they'd all missed the sunset! Anyway, the little "nibblies" with our drinks were excellent (mini bruschette on the local flatbread), and the drinks... Holy Crap, my Pimms was bucket-sized! Seriously, I was hammered before the appetizer got to the table! Sweetie had a Bellini that she claimed was the best, ever. For appetizer, I had the steak tartare (very good, but shouldn't be served on a black plate. In fact, nothing should. Ever). La Contessa had the artichoke potpie (awesome). For the main, she had the veal chop (Mamma mia, quant' era buona!!), and I had the sea bass (seriously good!). We were recommended the Siddura Tiros, a local cabernet blend that was delicious (and very reasonably priced). For dessert, we ordered the chocolate souffle and got the chocolat fondant, which was amazing. We suspected that the difference was in the menu translation, and didn't care because it was really good. It was an excellent experience, and I would definitely recommend it. Just ask your hotel to make a reservation a couple weeks before you go, and ask for a balcony-edge table.

    Grigliata misto - prawns, calamari, swordfish, scallops

    We came here later in the evening around 10:30pm, and we still found the restaurant very full. Be sure to make reservations in peak season during the summer as it will be difficult to just walk in and sit down. The service was friendly, atmosphere was very comfortable and on a nice evening the terrace space is perfect overlooking the marina. Getting to the food, we started with a grigliata misto del mare which had a mix of prawns, shrimp, calamari, scallops and accompanied by some potatoes and vegetables. Everything was cooked very well and I would recommend it as it was all fresh. Next, we tried the Branzino prepared in a salt bed that was simple, moist and excellent. We also tried the squid ink pasta with spigola, bottarga and limone that was a bit over-cooked but had some very good flavors. To finish off the meal we had a Gianduja that was ok but you must order the mille foglie that came with wild strawberries and was light and executed perfectly! This was a great way to end the meal. After it was all said and done, be sure to get the mirto digestivo drink as it is a speciality of the island. With a bottle of rose, the meal came out to about 65/euros each which I thought was very reasonable. Buon appetito!

    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.

    A must try if you're visiting Sardegna! All inclusive dinner and wine for 60 Euros about $65 USD…read more 5 star experience: You're going mostly for the experience and views of the island coasts. You'll see a charcuterie board on steroids when you enter the premises which is a part of the meal and includes an unlimited buffet of cured pork, various cheeses, and wine before your main meal. Food: 3 different pasta dishes to follow once you're done stuffing yourself w the charcuterie buffet, and of course the porcedu (piglet) to finish. The pasta dishes were so so, considering they were very basic. Dessert was a piece of fruit and a local dessert called seiadas. Tips: 1. Get there right when they open at 7:30. Lots of dedicated parking but it did get full if you had a later reservation time. Also, if you're there at 7:30 the buffet area will be crowded and you will have to wait in line. 2. Come very hungry, I was freaking stuffed and had to limit the pasta intake to eat the porcedu at the end. 3. Don't wear tight dresses or pants 4. If you book in advance you can get the terrace area.

    Had a fun meal here with my family. They have an a la carte menu but we decided on the chef's…read moresurprise. You can order one of four surprise menus, each has a different number of dishes. What was particularly nice is my daughter is a vegetarian and she had the same options. I also noticed at other tables that some people ordered a la carte and others the surprise menu, again nice that the whole table can order what they want. I enjoy amuse bouchée and that was one of the highlights of the meal. We started with five different amuse bouchée, all of them excellent and interesting. Even with only the large menu, it seemed as if we got many more courses than I was expecting. Also enjoyed a reconstructed caprese salad, a tomato stuffed with cheese. Service was efficient and friendly. Overall, an excellent experience.

    We ate off the al a carte menu. our dishes included the lobster tagliolini which was very good,…read morethe spaghetti all Chitarra (also very food), the risotto with raw red prawns (good), the seabass which was okay, the monkfish (good) and the lamb shops (good). The many breads and amuse bush dishes were all fairly successful as were our desserts. Service was good, with some nice presentations. The indoor/outdoor setting was lovely. The only complaint was the pricing. With an inexpensive bottle of wine and three drinks, our total bill was 700 euros for three which was high compared to other one star Michelin star restaurants in Sardinia.
