    My colleagues and our wives were looking for a decent seafood restaurant near our hotel, the Hotel…read moreMarana. I found Il Regolo rated #1 on TripAdvisor, but couldn't find it on Google or Google Maps. We saw how highly rated it was on TripAdvisor and headed down the beach to check it out based on viewing their website pictures and the satellite pic on Google Maps. Boy are we glad we went to the trouble. Their website says they are open 09:30am-11:30pm, but they do close during the siesta - opening for dinner at 9:00pm. We spoke to the owner at 8:15pm about dinner and were told to come back at 9:00pm and they would have a table for six waiting for us. When we came back, they had a beautiful inside table overlooking the beach saved and our waiter immediately welcomed us and got us started on a Sardinian red by the bottle - it was delicious and we eventually ordered two more. He recommended a seafood appetizer, but we were all interested in cured meat and formaggia. On his suggestion, we accepted a selection of local ingredients and received two surfboard-sized platters of meats, cheeses, olives and fruit sauces as garnish. It was all ludicrously good. I was the only one of us to order primi piatti and had a grilled octopus and potato plate that was very good. Our secondi piatti selections were three grilled pork entrees, two gnocci and sausage entrees and one spicy rigatoni entree. Each were so good that we were pushing samples on each other saying "you HAVE to try this". One of our group that isn't a wine drinker was ordering Gray Goose vodka and tonics that came in heavy American pours with a ton of ice - which got nods of admiration from all of us. I saw how good they looked and had one as a nightcap. We were all incredibly satisfied with our meals and didn't think we left enough room for dessert, but our waiter brought out - unannounced - a ricotta cheese and honey desert for the table. The bill was not cheap, but was an incredible value for the experience we had. I can't rave enough how awesome this meal and our total experience at Il Regolo was. I don't give five-star reviews. I give Il Regolo five stars. It really was that good. We are definitely going back before we leave this weekend.

As someone who loves food and enjoys seeking out highly regarded restaurants, I was excited to visit Confusion after receiving several recommendations while in Sardinia. I made a reservation three days in advance and looked forward to experiencing what many consider to be one of the area's standout dining destinations. Unfortunately, less than 24 hours before my reservation, I was faced with an unexpected emergency that required me to immediately return to the United States. As soon as I learned of the situation, I contacted the restaurant to explain what had happened and cancel my reservation. I was informed that because I was outside the cancellation window by approximately one hour, my deposit was non-refundable. While I understand that businesses have policies in place and that cancellation deadlines exist for a reason, I hoped there would be some room for discretion given the circumstances. I explained the situation in detail and asked whether an exception, partial refund, credit, or any alternative solution could be considered. Unfortunately, the answer was simply no. What disappointed me most was not the policy itself, but the complete lack of flexibility, empathy, or effort to find a reasonable resolution. Both the manager and general manager repeatedly stated that nothing could be done. No alternatives were offered, no compromise was suggested, and there appeared to be no consideration of the situation beyond a strict adherence to the policy. I have no doubt that the food may be excellent. Restaurants earn their reputations through culinary talent, and Confusion is clearly well-known for a reason. However, great hospitality extends beyond what is served on the plate. It also includes how guests are treated when unforeseen circumstances arise. For me, this experience raised concerns about the restaurant's approach to customer service and business ethics. A policy is important, but so is judgment. When a guest is dealing with a genuine emergency and reaches out proactively, I believe there should be at least some willingness to work toward a fair solution. My intention is not to criticize the restaurant's food or success. Rather, I want potential guests to be aware of how strictly these policies may be enforced. If you choose to book a reservation here, be certain of your plans and understand that even extraordinary circumstances may not be met with flexibility. In the end, restaurants are remembered not only for their cuisine, but also for how they make people feel. Unfortunately, this experience left me disappointed long before I ever had the chance to sit down at the table.

    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.
