It was clear from the moment that we arrived that just about everything had changed; the staff, the management, the ambiance, and most of all the menu. Gone was the Sardinian family, the raffish atmoshere, and the extensive and superb seafood menu. Through the gracious staff tried to accommodate us, and assure us that the now weighty menu would satisfy, and indeed some dishes were quite delicious, especially the Insalata di Mare and the Spaghetti alla Vernaccia. The Rombo con Patate of last year (see photo) was nothing short of a disaster. I will not describe it further. We left the plate, got our bill and took our car back to our hotel. The one constant in life is that everything changes, and I guess that's true here too. Peccato...

My husband and I had a memorable lunch at this welcoming and superb restaurant. It was our last…read moreday in Rome and since we wanted seafood, we thought that a Sardinian restaurant would be a good choice. Lucky us to have chosen Eleonora d'Arborea. Located in an outer neighborhood (you can take a bus from Pizazza Venezia to within a couple of blocks of the restaurant), we had a late reservation but entered to find the comfortable main rooms still active and lively. When our waiter realized we spoke English, he sought out the owner who helped us navigate the large menu of choices and with his encouragement, we made a meal of primarily the restaurant's starters. We had crudos and tartares, raw clams, and plates of fish and vegetables. The food was extraordinary. Probably the best seafood I've ever had, and I grew up on the New England coast and now live in NYC -- I think I know fish. We also enjoyed a delicious Sardinian wine and ended the meal with the owner's treat of two small glasses of a strawberry liqueur, house-made. Our only regret was that it was our last day in Rome and couldn't return to try more things on the menu. We appreciated the restaurant's friendliness, helpful service, and most of all, the superb fish and shellfish. If I can't travel to Sardinia, I can only hope to return soon to Rome so we can eat at Eleonara d'Arborea again.

Within its category of homestyle cooking in simple surroundings with local clientele Il Ristoranto…read moreSardo excels. An old Roman Hosteria, Sardo as the name suggests is owned and run by a lady from Sardinia and the menu reflects this with lots of excellent fish dishes, cooked to perfection and Roman staples such as tripe, carbonara etc. What I especially liked was the staffs no nonsense honest approach to food; the Dorado some of the best prepared grilled fish I have ever tasted was not local - they were not 100% sure of the actual source but trusted their supplier. The kitchen team were two extremely skilled Romanian women. Anyone who knows their culinary history will look no further than Genoa and Venice's trading routes and the Italian population in Romania dispersed throughout that has influenced the culture there, including food. Despite its location on the outskirts of Rome, Il Ristoranto Sardo is well worth a visit.

When we arrived the place was empty but we realized we eat dinner earlier than most locals and later more people came in.

My friend ordered a pork dish and she said it was the best pork she had. My sister and another friend ordered the mussels and again the best! She also had pawns on some type of alcohol (spacing on type) and phenomenal. I had calamari and shrimp and a seafood pasta and enjoyed both. Honestly I dream about their calamari and shrimp dish. Everything about this restaurant was nice. The service, the food, everything. Honestly one of the best meals we had while traveling in Italy.
