You'll see a charcuterie board on steroids when you enter the premises which is a part of the meal and includes an unlimited buffet of cured pork, various cheeses, and wine before your main meal. Food: 3 different pasta dishes to follow once you're done stuffing yourself w the charcuterie buffet, and of course the porcedu (piglet) to finish. The pasta dishes were so so, considering they were very basic. Dessert was a piece of fruit and a local dessert called seiadas. Tips: 1. Get there right when they open at 7:30. Lots of dedicated parking but it did get full if you had a later reservation time. Also, if you're there at 7:30 the buffet area will be crowded and you will have to wait in line. 2. Come very hungry, I was freaking stuffed and had to limit the pasta intake to eat the porcedu at the end. 3. Don't wear tight dresses or pants 4. If you book in advance you can get the terrace area.

Located just steps from the sea with waterfront breezes this place exudes charm and understated elegance. While the menu seems familiar with other spots the little flourishes elevate the experience. We started with a divine connolo-like a canolli but a savory crust filled with a light and creamy goat cheese served with amazingly flavorful tiny tomatoes-simple but divine. Their curlighones, another classic, were served grilled with a minty pesto but the absolute pinnacle was the fish. We were two couples and we each got the sea bass (for 2) one Mediterranean style (oven roasted with oil, herbs, tomatoes and potatoes) and the other baked in a salt crust. Each was beautifully served table side with the fish deboned and plated. Melt in your mouth good! The ample wine list features dozens of local options all at great prices. A must go.

This fine dining bistro featured a small menu of fresh seafood dishes with impeccable, attentive service. We started with the Insalata con Calamari Fritti, a mixed lettuce salad topped with calamari; the Cozze di Olbia al Pernod, mussels with a delectable Pernod (French spirit) sauce; and the Tagliolino ai Sapori di Mare, thick strands of pasta in a creamy tomato sauce with shelled mussels/clams and chopped squid. For our seafood selection, we ordered a whole rockfish, cooked in the oven and topped with a chunky tomato sauce and served with roasted potatoes. While the presentation of the fish was nice, the fish itself was undercooked and not particularly flavorful. My favorite dish was the Trancio di Pescato del Giorno, three fillets of amberjack, served over sautéed greens and topped with tomato sauce. This dish was also a bit undercooked, but the crispy skin and the vegetable sides made this a tasty dish. Overall, the atmosphere and service at La Spigola were top-notch, though the execution of some of the seafood dishes could've been better.

We got a ​sprawling view of the water from upstairs, which made for ​an ​enjoyable dining experience on a clear 75-degree​ evening. My husband had the pasta with sausage and pistachio pesto and just loved it. In fact, he said it was probably the best pesto he had ever had. I guess than implies that his dish dwarfed my homemade pesto which he used to think was the best. In all fairness, the version at Skipper's was more of a Sicilian style pesto with pistachios, whereas the pesto I make at home for us is a Genovese style pesto. So, I'll let him off the hook this time since the comparison would not be comparing apples to apples. I had the spaghetti​ and lobster entree, which was good, but wasn't quite what I had imagined. I envisioned that the lobster would be intact, but in fact, the lobster meat was diced into chunks. I also wanted ​a lesser sauce-based​ pasta. However, I must confess that my expectations​ weren't met largely due to the​ misinterpretation of my conversation with the waiter. Although Sardinia is a part of Italy, Sardu is also spoken, and it's different than standard Italian. They also make a nice complimentary flatbread, which is included in the standard coperto (cover charge). The flatbread​ alone would easily have been $15.00 in a nice San Francisco restaurant. It was really good​ and easily could've served four. The cover charges in Italy make so much more sense to me than being "coerced​" into leaving ​a tip upwards of 26% in San Francisco to cover the "expected minimum standard tip" of 20% plus the additional SF Healthy​ Tax charges. Most importantly, I can say, without a doubt, that the service we received at every single restaurant throughout​ Italy would put many San Francisco restaurants to shame. We received good to superior service in Italy, without the outrageous so-called "tips" that are expected/mandated in San Francisco. Skipper is located in a beautiful area with several other restaurants to choose from. Definitely a good choice for pleasurable​ outdoor dining.

Great wine, great food .. again, a dining game experience slightly tainted by extremely inattentive service, but we've come to the conclusion that this is either a Sardinian thing, or a "we don't like you if you're not local," thing. For example, we were sent to the register to pay .. without the check .. and the fellow behind the register just looked at us like we were idiots when we tried to explain why we were standing in front of him .. trying to pay our bill. ‍ I don't remember it being like this when I lived here in the mid 90s, but I suppose things change.
