The employee at the counter spoke some English and was very helpful in pointing out which options would be appropriate for my dietary restriction. Some of the flavors were even marked "Vegan OK". I wish I'd taken a closer look at the names of the flavors I selected but one was a super dark chocolate and the other one, I believe, was hazelnut. The employee suggested I get a cup instead of a cone, due to the cone containing some milk. This stuff was INCREDIBLE. I was literally in heaven while eating the two scoops I ordered. Also very affordable, by the way. I think it was just 2€. I sat at a table outside on the cute little plaza and enjoyed it thoroughly. BarbaGelato got busier as the evening went on - clearly they are doing something right. My only request is, can you send your sorbet making secrets to America? No? Well, I'll just have to return sometime. In this meanwhile, I'll be dreaming about it.

Arrivate da Coccodi alle 19 circa della Domenica il frigo torte era praticamente vuoto e la nostra torta "missing in action!" Subito pero' entra in scena la proprietaria che ci propone di prepararla in quel momento e poi consegnarla al nostro indirizzo della festa entro due ore. Sbalordite accettiamo l'offerta e, come promesso, la torta piu' bella e buona (nonche' freschissima....) che potessimo immaginare arriva puntuale per la festa. Siamo veramente grate della disponibilita' e professionalismo dimostrato, che non siamo abituate ad aspettarci, e che ha salvato la serata. La torta e' stata graditissima da tutti; un vero sucesso. Grazie!!

It can be tricky when you are trying to accommodate both vegans and non vegans and ensure a wonderful experience for all and I'm so glad we found Cavó! As far as a choice of standout favorite between the perfectly-coated, crispy and not greasy fried fungi and the fresh, flavorful, dynamic salad, it's a draw. I couldn't get enough of either. The service was warm, friendly, and personable. My only regret is that we already have other plans for dinner tonight. Can't wait to go back!

There were plenty of places to sit and eat, both inside and out! I tried their gnocchi which was make with some bolognese, mozzarella and porcini mushrooms . So good!

Gintilli is conveniently located close to the port and central business/tourist area of Cagliari…read more It's small, but fits about 8-10 tables worth of 2-4 party groups. For lunch, you can order from the regular menu or a special lunch set, which is a good value. For about 10 euros you get to choose two dishes, and get water and bread. You can also add a dessert for 3 euros more. The food is Italian/Mediterranean based, and the basil pasta I had was truly excellent. My partner got this as well, and separately we got a tofu dish and zucchini dish. We enjoyed all the food, but pasta was by far the best. Wine selection here is pretty large and can be a little high (though could be normal for the area.) Beer selection is typical of European restaurants, albeit mostly organic and some gluten free. HappyCow notes reservations are required but we walked right in and got seated without them. However, note the server was a one person show, so it could be a bit of a wait depending on when you go.

Maybe it's because I was a solo diner. Aside from that she was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu to me. I started with a yummy, unique carrot orange soup. Then, I had the fregola risottata with tomatoes. This dish was simple but very good! True comfort food in my opinion. For dessert, I had ordered the budino alla vaniglia but the waitress brought out a chocolate brownie instead. This was delicious and I enjoyed it even though it wasn't what I'd ordered. Interior decoration was sleek and modern. The food was excellent. I would return on another day for sure, hopefully the missteps in service I experienced were just a fluke.

My favorite dish was the appetizer of Prosciutto di Cinghiale, cured wild boar wrapped around a filling of smoked ricotta, served with almonds and chopped seasonal fruits (pears and plums). This went especially nicely with their homemade brown seeded bread, a nice change of pace from typical plain Italian loaves. A whole section of the menu was dedicated to stuffed baked potatoes--the Boscaiola was made with cardoncelli mushrooms, smoked ricotta, pecorino, and Grana sardo; and the Chili Purpuza was stuffed with a slightly spicy combination of purpuza sausage, tomatoes, and Grana sardo. The Maxi salad was a crunchy combination of lettuce, carrots, radicchio, fennel, caramelized onions, boiled egg, goat cheese, apple, and mixed seeds. Finally, we had two of their main dishes--the Torreta di Polenta Fritta was a "tower" made of a fried carrot/pea pancake, topped with a layer of polenta, served with a sauce made of vegetables; and the Stracotto di Manzo was cubes of stewed beef served over zucchini cream. Everything we had was flavorful and delicious, and the presentation and service were definite highlights of this restaurant!

We started with a small amuse buche Parmesan ball that had a magnificent aged, balsamic reduction underneath it. That balsamic was lick worthy! Next they brought a basket of traditional breads and also the ingredients to make bruschetta at your seat: a beautiful burrata wedge that was slightly Smokey, perfectly seasoned garden fresh tomatoes and grilled bread. This was my favorite dish of the evening. Calamari was fresh and light. Not as crispy as we get in the USA but it wasn't as highly battered. The grilled lemons were a great addition, be sure to save them for your dinner. The farro with seafood was well done. It was fishier then many enjoyed due probably to the dehydrated caviar but the grain texture and seasoning was lovely and the shellfish was soft and perfectly cooked. We also had grilled sea bass (not shown) which was fresh and flakey. The dessert made with almond milk was a nice sweet taste to end the meal. Service was spot on, including the wine service. Servers spoke some English which was very helpful. Owners speak fluent English as does the manager. If you are in the area and looking for farm to table definitely give it a try!
