We had a great dinner among the locals at this beachfront restaurant that featured fresh fish and other Sardinian specialties. We were staying close by so it was very convenient and we made a booking (by calling via WhatsApp) about a week out for a 7:30 slot when they open for dinner. In mid September on a Sunday it wasn't full but there were clearly a bunch of locals and regulars judging by the way pleasantries were exchanged with the efficient wait staff (all men).
The restaurant is largely open air to the sea with plastic screens that can be lowered if it's cold or windy. It was very pleasant dining Al fresco with a view to the water.
The expansive menu, while featuring " English translations" needs to be taken with a bit of an adventurous spirit as some of the English is a pretty crude approximation of the actual dish. For example we ordered two starters both sounding similar one with tomatoes mozzarella and zucchini (what might otherwise be called a caprese salad with zucchini-excellent and fresh by the way) and another called cheese, zucchini and tomatoes (which was more like a sheep's milk queso fundito-melted cheese with bits of zucchini and tomatoes served with a small crostini-also excellent).
As in much of the island, there is some English but it's spotty and we had a bit of a challenge trying to explain our plan to share a pasta (shrimp and langoustine with a rich creamy sauce-YUM!) and then a main -the fresh local fish (which is available in 3 preparations: grilled, salt baked or Mediterranean style -with olives, tomatoes and potatoes and olive oil-a great recommendation from our waiter) but we stumbled our way through with a smile.
Topping it off with a bottle of local Vermentino wine and it made for a splendid meal. Since the two couples shared things, the bill was less than 150€. read more
