The outdoor patio was very nice, especially at sunset, but it can get hot with the sun shining on your table before it goes down completely. At this price point/the location/reputation, I guess it's not so much about the value you get with the food. The seafood was fresh & all the dishes were tasty. So, from that perspective, the restaurant delivered on the food. We were let down by the service. The good - our hotel mixed up the dates & the hostess was very professional and gracious in finding us a table. Not so good - it all went a bit downhill from there. The captain that did the seating grumbled while setting up our table & gave us a look like we were clueless tourists. After getting seated, one of the hosts (not a manager, mind you) made it a point to come by & subtly let us know he made us a favor even though he wasn't the one we worked with directly. When we were given the menu, the main wait person was a bit snooty and acted like we may not be able to afford some items on the menu. My friend, who was paying for the dinner, had a Crazy Rich Asian moment and ordered everything off the menu. Guess they got the hint. The manager came by to welcome us & they changed staff who were much more pleasant & easier to engage with. After the meal, the earlier experiences still left a bit of undesirable aftertaste & we decided to skip dessert. We went for gelatos in the mall instead :-) What a shame. We had such an amazing experience at Le Grand restaurant the previous night that we were hoping for a two out of two.

    Gianni Pedrinelli is a fine dining restaurant in Porto Cervo with an absolutely charming interior…read more The decorating is with eclectic photos and lamps, mixed with shabby chic white drapery and linens. It is picturesque! The meal started with warm bread, which was delicious. And they served us artichoke as an appetizer for free. Then we ordered the vegetarian rigatoni, filet mignon, veal milanese and veal osso bucco. The rigatoni was good, but extremely greasy. The gnocci that came with the osso bucco was also extremely buttery and lacking any flavor. The osso bucco itself was deliciously seasoned and prepared. The Veal milanese was simple, and good if you like veal milanese which is traditionally not very flavorful. The filet mignon was good. Very simple and well cooked. Overall, the food was OK, probably not worth the price, but the atmosphere and service was excellent.

The staff is friendly and attentive and the food is excellent. We enjoyed a Bellini and some yummy local artichokes to start off our meal. The squid salad was delicious as was the calamari - fresh from the sea. My husband had orecchiette with muscles as his main course and I had linguini with Sardinian lobster. Both with wonderfully tasty. We would definitely go back.

    English review: Da…read moreThomas has been a staple of the Santa Teresa dining scene for over 40 years. If you want good seafood, you can't go wrong with a dinner at Da Thomas. Dishes are tasty, portions are generous, and local ingredients are often used in an inventive way. The setting is upscale without being stuffy. The menu is quite substantial, and even if you don't like seafood there are plenty of options. On a recent visit for starters I got to try the fried sea anemones, fried baby squid, and cuttlefish with smoked ricotta. I tried the fried anemones as this is something you don't see often on a menu; they have an interesting, soft consistency that is not for everybody. The fried baby calamari are served with vegetables and a cream of carrot and ginger. I really loved the cuttlefish, served with a cream of peas and the smoked ricotta that adds flavor without covering the cuttlefish. As pasta dish, the trenette with redfish and red prawn are fantastic! I like how this simple dish packs a lot of flavor. Another pasta dish I would recommend is spaghetti alle aragostelle. Pasta dishes are also large enough to be shared among two people, if you would like to try more than one dish. As main course, inquire about the fish of the day. They also serve two different types of lobster (aragosta = spiny lobster; astice = American lobster), cooked in different ways, including "alla catalana" with tomato and onions. For dessert, crema alla catalana is a perfect way to end your meal. Keep in mind that service can be slow. All servers are good, but in the summer the restaurant is packed, and the kitchen is likely overwhelmed. You may have to wait 45 minutes or so between one course and the next. My recommendation is, unless you found yourself in Santa Teresa in the off season, to always reserve a table. And if slow service bothers you come early like 7:30pm. -------------------------- Recensione in italiano: Da Thomas e' un'istituzione tra i ristoranti di Santa Teresa da piu' di quarant'anni. Se volete pesce buono, cena Da Thomas e non si sbaglia. I piatti sono gustosi, le porzioni generose, e ingredienti locali sono spesso usati in modo originale. L'atmosfera e' raffinata senza essere The formale. Il menu' e' piuttosto ampio, e anche se non vi piace il pesce ci sono tante opzioni di piatti di terra e verdure. Durante una visita recente come antipasti ho provato gli anemoni di mare fritti, i calamari spillo fritti, e le seppie in vellutata di piselli e ricotta mustia. Ho provato gli anemoni perche' e' un piatto che non si vede spesso in giro; piatto interessante, anche se la consistenza molle degli anemoni non e' per tutti. I calamari spillo fritti vengono serviti con verdure fritte e una crema di carote e zenzero. La seppia mi e' piaciuta molto, servita con una vellutata di piselli e la ricotta mustia (ricotta salata affumicata) che aggiunge sapore senza coprire la seppia. Come piatti di pasta, le trenette allo scorfano e gambero rosso sono buonissime! Questo e' un piatto semplice davvero molto saporito. Un altro piatto di pasta che suggerisco sono gli spaghetti alle aragostelle. Le porzioni dei piatti di pasta sono generose abbastanza da condividere un piatto in due, se desiderate provare piu' piatti. Come secondo, chiedete qual'e' il pesce del giorno. Servono anche sia aragoste che astici cucinati in diversi modi, tra cui "alla catalana" con pomodoro e cipolle. Per dolce, la crema alla catalana e' il modo migliore di finire la cena. Il servizio puo' risultare lento. I camerieri sono tutti bravi, ma in estate il ristorante e' sempre pieno e la cucina ha probabilmente troppo lavoro. Puo' toccare di dover attendere anche 45 minuti tra un piatto e l'altro. Il mio suggerimento e', a meno che non vi trovate a Santa Teresa fuori stagione, di prenotare sempre. E se il servizio lento e' un problema, venite presto, alle 19:30.
