One night at Stintino, debating on where to have dinner, many touristic restaurants.

We were in the mood for pizza, I had napoletana, lacking a little anchovies, but very good crust. My wife had the cristallino, creamy with Gorgonzola and prosciutto crudo. Excellent. The menu offers a wide range of fish and seafood dishes. The service was excellent.

Dinner #1: Complimentary ANTIPASTI MISTO SALUMI E FORMAGGI (platter of local cured meats, cheeses and bread). All the fish and seafood dishes were fresh and cooked to perfection. SPAGHETTI ALLE VONGOLE (spaghetti w/ sweet little clams); FRITTO MISTO CALAMARI E GAMBERI (calamari & prawns deep fried in light batter); PESCE ALLE GRIGLIA (grilled catch of the day). Meal ended with a delicious Sardinian dolce called SEADAS, a crisp airy pastry filled with sweet soft cheese and drizzled with golden Sardinian honey. A perfect end to the meal and worth ordering even if you're so full you swear you couldn't eat another bite. You can. I promise. Dinner #2: Fresh caught SPIDER CRAB 2 ways, first course was a simple yet divine crab broth with crab roe and fregola (small pasta similar to couscous) followed by the main course of fresh whole crab. The pure white crab meat was sweet and soft like a salty sea mascarpone cream. As delicious as it was I could have just eaten a whole pot of the crab soup and died happy. Gloriously happy. Dinner #3: MAIALINO ARROSTO (roasted suckling pig). This was the single most delicious meal of pork I have ever tasted in my entire life. Salty-crisp skin that shatters between your teeth like glass and rich, moist, tender meat that melts like butter. The suckling pig we ate that night fulfilled its life's purpose when it arrived in maestro Lino's kitchen. I cannot over-emphasize how perfect a meal it was, accompanied only by a platter of mixed grilled vegetables. If you eat only 1 meal in Sardegna, let it be the maialino arrosto at Lino's trattoria!!! Dinner #4: TRUFFLES!! Meal began with ANTIPASTI MISTO (heirloom tomato dressed in olive oil and aged red wine vinegar, assorted cheeses, olives, bread). 1st course was room temp POACHED EGGS with gloriously runny golden yolks and grated *black* truffles. 2nd course was warm poached eggs with grated *white* truffles. Most decadent poached eggs of my life. 3rd course was al dente TAGLIATELLE tossed in olive oil, butter, and more grated truffles! The simple pasta seasoned to taste with salt & fresh ground black pepper was a perfect showcase for the rich, earthy flavour of Sardinian truffles from Laconi City. Just when I thought I couldn't eat another bite, Lino placed a 4th dish on the table: BRAISED BABY GOAT RIBS.... with shaved truffles! Not only do I adore goat, but this was the most tender, succulent goat meat I've ever tasted. The ribs were plated in a pool of bright red-orange drippings which initially made me a bit apprehensive. By the end, I was using the last crusts of bread to soak up the glorious fat drippings and savour just one last bite before surrendering defeat. We finished our last meal with espressos and an ice cold shot of MIRTO before rolling ourselves up the hill to bed. Not only is the food delicious but Lino and Marlitha make guests feel as warm and welcome as family. Even their adorable dog Daisy filled the empty spot under the table where our own pups usually sit. Despite speaking limited Italian, we were honoured to share a glass of wine with our hosts and enjoyed several animated evenings of conversation, proving that excellent food can bridge language, culture, and country. Salute!

The waiter knew right away that we were the guests that had inquired about GF options when booking the table, and informed us directly when handing us the menus that they had gluten free pasta and that all but one dish could be made GF. He presented the daily specials with great detail and knowledge and recommended us a local wine from a very small family vineyard. We had the wine and is was one of the best wines we had in Sardinia! We shared a devils fish pasta as starter and then I had the Black Angus seared with gorgonzola, pear and walnuts and it was a real feast for my tastebuds. My companion tried the sausage and was also real pleased. I would highly recommend this place to anyone (GF or not) as both the service and the food was excellent!

It is an Italian seafood restaurant with all freshness you can have in the ingredients. In trip advisor, they say that it is recommended by the local fisherman. We had the fishes of the day and some side boiled vegetables. They were all awesome. We also had a Tiramisu, which was awesome too. The food really feels fresh and it seems cooked on the day. The owner and waiter had a proper English to explain the menu in detail. I have only compliments to this restaurant, that's why I added this Sardinian Pearl in Yelp! It would be a pity that people miss this great restaurant.

The restaurant is in the historic centre of Sassari and also offers some outside seating. This is fresh seafood at it's finest. We had the mixed seafood starter which was divine - came with mussels, the local version of monkfish, smoked swordfish, marinated anchovies, tender octopus and a little tower of fried shrimp and zucchini. We then shared a plate of spaghetti with fresh sardines and capers - lovely dish. We then had some mullets in tomato sauce and roasted eel - the latter a bit of work for little meat, but very tasty. The presentation is not for the faint of heart - see the photo for reference. For dessert we had a vanilla creme topped with some pastry flakes, nice but not exciting. The fish was always fresh and tasty, and overall was the food prepared flawlessly with good quality products. The service was also very friendly and the wine list looked rather appealing (unfortunately I had to drive). Would definitely go back there.
