It was a very hot day in Cagliari, but eating outside in the shade with a breeze made the experience very pleasant. We started with gazpacho (pictured) and we each had different pasta dishes- they were so good we forgot to take pictures. I would recommend any of there pasta meals, my favorite was the one with the mullet roe in the sauce. Can't wait to try again. Grazie Mille

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.

Skip the marinated sardines, they didn't have the grilled one unless you like closer to Russian…read moreherring taste for your fish. They still tasted good, but probably because my Russian bias towards that kinda fish. Second came the orata in tomato sauce, which is sea bream in tomato sauce. This is probably the best fish in all of Sardinia. It is super flaky, juicy, moist, and succulent. We also had the pasta filled with potatoes which was definitely home made. Second favorite fish in Italy. The frutti de mare pasta was ok, just wish the noodles would have been home made. Which apparently a lot of Italian places don't make for longer noodles. Lastly was the tiramisu which was made the same day, we asked and it didn't disappoint. Sorry for the lack of photos, it was just a really great dinner overall.

AVOID! Terrible food! I am Italian and have been living in Sardinia for 3 years, I've never seen…read moresuch poorly prepared food. My friend ordered a tuna steak and it came with zero sauce, way too rare (ie not even grilled on the top and bottom part, like rare tuna steak should be served) and extremely dry. We complained and they put a bunch of pinzimonio (raw oil, garlic and parsley) on it, which is not at all what tuna steak calls for. I ordered pasta with zucchini flowers and shrimp and it was barely so-so. Despite repeated complaints, they didn't discount one euro from the bill, in fact they argued that "that's how it should be served" (it isn't, ask any Sardinian cook). Truly terrible.
