Located steps away from the main pedestrian drag in Olbia, Antica Licanzias is a cozy restaurant…read moreoffering a menu of traditional Sardinian cuisine, as well as Sardinian products including homemade pane carasau, filiendeu pasta, and sweets. We started with their Focacceria di Nostra Produzione, a selection of soft focaccia breads, including several filled variations stuffed with mushrooms/peppers. The Insalatona Licanzias was a salad of seasonal fruits and vegetables including cauliflower, broccoli, avocado, tomatoes, and strawberries, lightly dressed with balsamic vinegar. A classic Sardinian dish was Pane Frattau, a "lasagna" made of sheets of pane carasau layered with tomato sauce and topped with two soft-cooked eggs. For our mains, Tagliata di "Scottona" di Gallura was a steak of local beef, simply seared and flavored with rosemary; and my favorite dish was the Procetto Arrosto--roasted suckling pig with juicy meat and crispy skin, served with roasted potatoes. Overall, the food here was on point, and the service was friendly too. By the time we left, a line had formed outside, and lots of people were waiting for tables.

Sardinia. When I think of how Sardinian food would taste I think of a nice home cooked dinner. This…read morerestaurant did a great job capturing that with their dishes. The first time we went was spectacular. All the dishes were amazing. We ordered the baked cheese with pears. The Sardinian steak with vegetables. The star of the night was the ricotta ravioli with pork. It was literally the best ravioli I've ever had. It was so pillowy soft and super light. I thought we ordered a lot of food but we devoured everything. Our waitress that evening was super attentive and friendly! Great service! The second time was sort of a miss. We Ordered the steak again and asked for rare and it wAs cooked well . That was a disappointment. We also ordered the baked cheese and fig but thought The pears went a lot better with the cheese. The asparagus and squash were okay . Wish they would've seasoned it more. The tiramisu wasn't my fave because they added orange peel but overall our first time was definitely a lot better. Although this place has some hits and misses I still would go back for the amazing ricotta ravioli !

I had to rush my sitting at the News Cafe, unfortunately but I enjoyed the limited time I had…read morethere! The weather and views were beautiful and above that, the staff was super quick, friendly, and efficient. The waitress understood and delivered my drink modification perfectly--it was DELICIOUS! And they dropped a complimentary sampler platter at our table with tasty snacks including tuna pizza (not something I would typically pick out but it was SO GOOD!), cheese and salami with crackers (the crackers were nice and thin which was perfect to compliment / didn't over take the flavor of the cheese and salami, and small quiche bites with mild (not spicy) peppers. 10/10 recommend. I'll be back for sure.

Definitely try their pesche (double cream filled donuts sandwiched together), diplomatici (crispy pastry layers with a cake layer mixed with cream) or their regular donut ciambelle which is fluffy and finger-lickingly scrumptious. It's all so good, it's bad for you because you'll want to eat them daily! The staff is generally nice. There is indoor and outdoor seating. If you're in Alghero, this is a must breakfast location.
