We had a fantastic meal at this cozy waterfront restaurant serving Sardinian classics with…read moreinventive twists. Located just steps from the sea with waterfront breezes this place exudes charm and understated elegance. While the menu seems familiar with other spots the little flourishes elevate the experience. We started with a divine connolo-like a canolli but a savory crust filled with a light and creamy goat cheese served with amazingly flavorful tiny tomatoes-simple but divine. Their curlighones, another classic, were served grilled with a minty pesto but the absolute pinnacle was the fish. We were two couples and we each got the sea bass (for 2) one Mediterranean style (oven roasted with oil, herbs, tomatoes and potatoes) and the other baked in a salt crust. Each was beautifully served table side with the fish deboned and plated. Melt in your mouth good! The ample wine list features dozens of local options all at great prices. A must go.

This fine dining bistro featured a small menu of fresh seafood dishes with impeccable, attentive service. We started with the Insalata con Calamari Fritti, a mixed lettuce salad topped with calamari; the Cozze di Olbia al Pernod, mussels with a delectable Pernod (French spirit) sauce; and the Tagliolino ai Sapori di Mare, thick strands of pasta in a creamy tomato sauce with shelled mussels/clams and chopped squid. For our seafood selection, we ordered a whole rockfish, cooked in the oven and topped with a chunky tomato sauce and served with roasted potatoes. While the presentation of the fish was nice, the fish itself was undercooked and not particularly flavorful. My favorite dish was the Trancio di Pescato del Giorno, three fillets of amberjack, served over sautéed greens and topped with tomato sauce. This dish was also a bit undercooked, but the crispy skin and the vegetable sides made this a tasty dish. Overall, the atmosphere and service at La Spigola were top-notch, though the execution of some of the seafood dishes could've been better.

You'll see a charcuterie board on steroids when you enter the premises which is a part of the meal and includes an unlimited buffet of cured pork, various cheeses, and wine before your main meal. Food: 3 different pasta dishes to follow once you're done stuffing yourself w the charcuterie buffet, and of course the porcedu (piglet) to finish. The pasta dishes were so so, considering they were very basic. Dessert was a piece of fruit and a local dessert called seiadas. Tips: 1. Get there right when they open at 7:30. Lots of dedicated parking but it did get full if you had a later reservation time. Also, if you're there at 7:30 the buffet area will be crowded and you will have to wait in line. 2. Come very hungry, I was freaking stuffed and had to limit the pasta intake to eat the porcedu at the end. 3. Don't wear tight dresses or pants 4. If you book in advance you can get the terrace area.

The soft pasta was served in a salty sheep broth with pecorino cheese--such a unique dish that's at risk of dying out! The restaurant also offers an ever-changing daily menu of other Sardinian specialties, and we started with Polpettine di Pecora, salty fried sheep meatballs served with garlic mayonnaise; Prosciutto di Pecora, cured sheep prosciutto served with mini toasts topped with ricotta and honey; and Insalata di Mare del Mediterraneo, a marinated salad of squid, mussels, shrimp, and octopus. For our mains, the Grigliata di Carne Mista came with grilled suckling pig, beef, veal, sausage, and sheep; and Calamari e Seppie, grilled calamari and cuttlefish. My favorite single item was the fried sheep meatballs, but everything we had was decent (though on the salty side). The prices were rather high for the portion sizes, but nothing unusual for a local slow food restaurant in Italy.
