    Impasto is a trendy spot in Cagliari for pizzas, pastas, and small plates for sharing. To start,…read morethe Tartare di Manzetta was cubes of marinated raw beef tartare served on a slice of brioche toast; and the Polpette al Sugo were dense meatballs in tomato sauce topped with Parmesan. On the side came airy slices of sourdough bread, and we also ordered a mixed salad (lettuce, radicchio, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes). Fresh from their pizza oven, the Capricciosa came with tomato sauce, fior di latte, artichokes, mushrooms, ham, and a soft egg, all on a chewy crust. But my favorite pizza was the Primaverde Dell'Orto, a seasonal pizza of spring vegetables (leeks, spinach, olives, escarole), fior di latte, and a cream made of green peas (instead of tomato sauce). The highlight was the pea cream, which had a slightly sweet flavor, complementing the earthy green vegetables.

    We picked Impasto for a light dinner simply because it opened so much earlier then all the…read moresurrounding restaurants in the area (6pm vs 7:30) and we had a ride to catch at 8pm. It is always a bit nerve wracking to try a place that seems to open early for tourists but this place quickly filled up with locals grabbing a drink or with small children. It did seem like a place that would have a cool vibe come 8-9 pm and while they did have outdoor seating in between the streets we opted to sit inside. Service as you might expect was a little slow and the waitress walked away half way through out drink order but we eventually got food and and beverages ordered and fresh, hot, crusty bread was delivered to the table. The carbonara was out of this world. The guanciale was so crispy and salty and complimented the rich egg sauce perfectly. Meatballs were hot with a light sauce and a slice of bread underneath soaking up all the juices that would be a sacrilege to leave behind. I really enjoyed the 4 cheese pizza as well. I think thick, chewy crusts aren't for everyone but I like that style. The mix of cheeses gave a good flavor and little bite. I would definitely recommend it for the food especially if you need something on the earlier side.

    Given this recommendation by our Cagliari tour guide. Excellent seafood - that's all they do here…read moreand it's extremely fresh. Fixed price menu of EUR 40 - six seafood starters (freshest shrimp ever) and then a seafood pasta, followed by cold lobster with tomatoes and butter sauce. Ended with lemon sorbet and liquor.

As the restaurant specialises on sea food they offer you the catch of the day (so no/ or not many standards)- you can chose from te fresh seafood which is displayed right in the dining room. They will also recommend you the side dishes that go well with your choice and ask how you like your fish prepared, also whether you liked it after every dish. That may sound normal, but in Cagliari you often get the impression that the restaurants dont really care.So this place is a great exception! The food is prepared with caution and dedication (you can just see it by the way they describe the dishes and handle the meals). They also use products of a very good quality, e.g., amazingly fresh vegetables and very good olive oil (which again is unfortunately not a standard in Cagliari's restaurants). We havent seen many tourists in there (actually none, only locals) and we were not treated as tourists as well- the owner (or manager?) even thanked us personally as we left. Maybe the only difficulty here is that the staff speaks better Italian than any other language, but that is why you are visiting the country, right? the prices are very similar to the ones you find in the other trattorias in the city- but the quality of the food and the atmosphere are by far above the average. We had a very pleasant evening enjoying really great food prepared and served by people dedicated to their job and a heartly atmosphere- actually the best dining experience we had in Cagliari. So get a table and enjoy a great meal!
