The quality of the food seems to be interchangeable throughout all of these restaurants as well. We had a pasta dish that was quite good, I don't recall the name of it and the menu isn't online but it said it was "typical Sardegnan". For our second dish we tried the grilled cuttlefish, small fish, and crustaceans plate which was good but overall not worth it. The portion size was fairly small and removing all the shells and bones was not worth the 28euro entree price. The restaurant also charged a 3euro service/cover fee per person, something I think you will probably find at most of these sea side restaurants. With all that said, the view was spectacular at sunset. You are paying a premium for it but you also get a pretty decent meal. The service was also fantastic and the staff was quite friendly. I don't regret dining here but I don't think the food was good enough to merit the price. I doubt you'll do better in the immediate area though.

The soft pasta was served in a salty sheep broth with pecorino cheese--such a unique dish that's at risk of dying out! The restaurant also offers an ever-changing daily menu of other Sardinian specialties, and we started with Polpettine di Pecora, salty fried sheep meatballs served with garlic mayonnaise; Prosciutto di Pecora, cured sheep prosciutto served with mini toasts topped with ricotta and honey; and Insalata di Mare del Mediterraneo, a marinated salad of squid, mussels, shrimp, and octopus. For our mains, the Grigliata di Carne Mista came with grilled suckling pig, beef, veal, sausage, and sheep; and Calamari e Seppie, grilled calamari and cuttlefish. My favorite single item was the fried sheep meatballs, but everything we had was decent (though on the salty side). The prices were rather high for the portion sizes, but nothing unusual for a local slow food restaurant in Italy.

The restaurant menu includes several typical dishes and seasonal ingredients and dishes that change up things a little.

Main owner and wife watch clients from one of the corners and do not look happy and is the only thing that does provide a positive vibe.

Cons: Server was short and disinterested in responding to questions or selling menu. Though food was brought quickly to the table (a typical highlight), it was lackluster, poorly prepared. We ordered the grilled meats and vegetable dish and everything was extremely tough and overcooked. There were multiple types of meats on the plate that should normally have various cooking temps but with how fast it came out and again how dry/tough they tasted it felt as though they were pre cooked and warmed to order. The Milanese was cardboard like and perdominantly breading. Bread provided prior to dinner was stale. TL;DR: overpriced, overcooked, lackluster food and service with good drinks and a view. Plenty of good options around the area for 1/2 price.
