Lovely little restaurant at the top of the hill in a very non-touristy mountain town (we got off…read morethe super highway after I totally had vertigo driving from Modena to Florence)....this was on the outskirts of the small, cobblestone, medieval town...where, to be honest, the people were not too friendly...yet this place was totally welcoming and nice -- with a view of all the surrounding hills. we were able to eat outside on their patio, enjoying wine and rustic, fresh, and delicious fare (en salade and a mushroom pasta) -- and the hosts were very friendly and attentive. a nice relaxing meal -- if you find yourself nearby, don't hesitate to stop in.

Thanks to reading a previous review from CC K., we also ordered the seafood antipasti. The…read moreantipasti was easily the best we had for the whole trip. Highlights were the pesto mash, which the prawns sat atop, the tuna carpaccio and the smoked salmon. It was beautifully presented and gave us the opportunity to try some things we would never have ordered, like the chopped squid and the fish pancake. We also ordered gnocchi, a salad, monkfish and grilled squid. The service, like most Italian places, was a bit appalling and the slowest we'd experienced anywhere. The order we got the food in was bread, 20 minutes later antipasti, another 20, salad, another 20 the pasta (that we had wanted to share) and the monkfish, another 30 minutes later my boyfriend got his squid. Dear god, we were ready to just ask for the bill, we weren't even sure if some of the food was even coming. It was very hard to understand was they didn't think we wanted the monkfish and the squid as main courses at the same time. The Italians don't seem to understand sharing. The food was fabulous though, worth the wait!

A gourmet oasis in the middle of Oristano, Ristorante Craf da Banana serves traditional Sardinian…read morecuisine with a modern twist. We were started with an amuse bouche of a spring pea puree topped with tomato and pecorino. Next, a highlight of the restaurant were the appetizer platters--the Antipasti di Terra (Classico della Casa) and Sapori del Mare featured fresh ingredients from land and sea, respectively. The "land" appetizers included beef carpaccio, fried eggplant, donkey meatballs, fried pecorino, sheep stew, fried zucchini blossoms, and tripe. The sea appetizers included tuna carpaccio, bottarga mousse, and several different kinds of fish with different flavorings/marinades. We also got the Tartar di Scottana, minced beef tartare dotted with different sauces. For our mains, the Muggine alle Brace were two whole grilled mullets; and the Costine Fritte were lightly battered, deep-fried local pork ribs, which had a deliciously fatty consistency. But the most distinctive dish of all was the Su Filindeu, thread-like pastas (unique to Sardinia) served in a creamy, unctuous tomato and cheese sauce. Overall, the execution and presentation of the dishes here were on point, though the portion sizes were small for the prices.

We booked a family dinner expecting some great food and were very disappointed! The service was…read morereally bad (they forgot about us all night) and the food was tasteless, bland and not at all representative of the region and local cuisine. The restaurant itself was ok, but once the service and food became part of the equation, it all went downhill. Please look for another location and do not bother with this place! I grew up in Sardegna and can tell you that you deserve a better experience and way better food! I would give it no star is I could!
