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.

The dishes that were highly recommended made both my friend and I terribly sick. We ordered the "pasta" with lobster and the tuna belly. The pasta is more like baked beans and lentils that were marinated in ocean water for about 3 days and then served to unsuspecting diners under the pretense of fine dining. The tuna belly tasted old and fishy. Pretty sure I will have food poisoning after this because the whole dinner I felt queasy. Best of luck if you choose to dine here and do not heed my warning.

There's a cute shop when you arrive, selling wine and different local foodstuffs. We chose Frades to see what the big deal was with their rating .. we shared the mixed board, burrata, and pasta with the red shrimp. Everything was nice, but no desire to repeat. Additionally, service was most disappointing .. the most brusque and inattentive yet during our trip.

This is a great spot! It's actually our favorite in Porto Cervo, and definitely the best in Porto…read moreCervo Marina. We've frequented here a few times, and the food and service has been wonderful each time. Despite the fact that they were more than overbooked last weekend for the Quantum sailing race, service was efficient and servers were friendly, albeit a bit frenzied. After the regatta, it was much more low-keyed and filled with locals. It was obvious that some of the customers lived in the area and knew each other, and that many the patrons were regulars who have summered in the Porto Cervo for years. I'd suggest ordering the seafood here. It's pricier, but so fresh and so good. The seafood salad was loaded with generous portions of tender fresh octopus, and is my favorite dish here. It's technically an appetizer, but plenty enough for an entree. The lobster spaghetti came with a half of a lobster tail and a massive amount of pasta (though a tad salty). I'd pass on the calzone, which had a nice chewy edging, but pales in comparison to their seafood. This is Sardinia after all, right?! If you're coming towards the beginning or end of the summer season, call in advance to get their hours. The majority of shops and restaurants in Porto Cervo operate on a seasonal basis just as resorts in the East Coast do, like Martha's Vineyard, Stone Harbor and the Hamptons (my personal favorite, of course, since that's where I got engaged!). Again, come for the seafood here, along with the convivial atmosphere. It's a gem in Porto Cervo Marina.

The restaurant Il Peperone indeed offers very well done and large pizzas in a nice atmosphere - at our evening (Sunday) they even had live music. Not suprisingly the two pizzas along with two soft drinks were not that inexpensive as thought, but rather turned out with a seating fee of each EUR 7.00 and on top with a 12% service fee to be the most expensive in our lifetime. Too much in our perception!
