Excellent reviews on many sites and I contacted Federico thru his Facebook page, he quickly responded. Make your reservations prior to your trip or you won't get in. Federico and Fernando his driver picked us up at our port and drove us to his ristorante. Ten minute drive and we were ready to start. 6 members of our group from 15-80 years old. This by far was our favorite part of our trip. The Ristorante was a perfect setting for a cooking class and fantastic meal. We learned how to make homemade Bolognese sauce, gnocchi, eggplant parmigiana, tiramisu, veal saltimbocca. This was a hands on class not just a demonstration. Fabulous class. After we got to eat our meal and we were served farm wine which was delicious. Fernando and Federico took us on a wonderful countryside tour after this fabulous class. So worth it. Amazing day. See my tip on how to contact him.

The food was very good but not outstanding as expected for such high ratings. The best value was the 4€ bottled beer from Sardinia, Ichnusa (66 cl or 0.66 l).

Fried baby squid with honey sauce is must try. Risotto was super hot and delicious. Risotto rice was less tender than I expected, but still good. Homemade pasta wasn't impressive, but taste is good. Atrophy was very yummy. Quite a bit of bugs flew around us the whole time which we didn't invite them to join... so annoyed my girls a bit. Overall enjoyable dinner. A local driver recommended me here, so I tried. Paid 52Euro for all these dishes, no drinks ordered.

When we approached the host he asked us if we prefer to sit in or out. We set out and were surveying the couple of tables between the restaurant and via Caravaggio. Two are surprised and delight he let us across the street to a large terrazzo overlooking the marina and let us to a terrific table there. So everything we ordered was transported by the staff across traffic. The Terazzo filled up quickly with couples and large families enjoying the atmosphere and fabulous cuisine. The service was simultaneously professional and exuded family feeling. As it showed there were several generations of the owners family in the front and back of house. Our piece de resistance was a sea bass grilled for two. magnificent. And for dessert we had a transporting Baba al limoncello. The Baba's were so delicious and so soaked, it was a good thing we had walked to the restaurant and wouldn't have to drive home!

My wife ordered the grilled calamari as a starter and it was PERFECT. The owner of the restaurant was helping us and he showed me the fresh seafood that had just come in. I saw a branzino and he said it was enough for two persons. He offered to do it in a salt bake even though it was not on his daily menu. My wife wanted a side of fresh pasta but not an entire plate. He offered to do a half portion for her. The food did not disappoint. The place is a bit rustic but the food and service was excellent. The entire bill was 80 euros, which we found very inexpensive for the food we ate and wine we drank.

It came with oysters, three types of shrimp, shrimp paste, three types of ceviche, and a carpaccio. My favorite was the carpaccio, which had pieces of freeze dried raspberry on top.

I asked our waitress to point us to a local white. She recommended an excellent local vermentino which we very much enjoyed. The menu has some great seafood dishes and well as pastas meats etc. I opted for the risotto pescatore. This dish was a amazing, bursting with fresh seafood and flavor. The risotto was perfectly cooked and it was loaded with fresh mussels, clams and langostinos. Excellent and so well priced. This same dish in my hometown miami would easily be double the price at an equivalent restaurant. The wife had a pasta carbonara which was a truly excellent version of this dish. They were both plentiful so did not try the desserts. The service was excellent as was the ambiance. This place deserves to be jam packed every night.
