The location is lovely, but unfortunately our experience with the service spoiled the meal…read more After ordering fried seafood, mussels, and fries, we asked to take the leftovers away. A takeaway container was provided, but nobody informed us that there would be an additional charge. Only after we asked for some paper to keep the fried food separate did the staff suddenly mention a €1 service charge for packing. Since we ended up packing the food ourselves, we couldn't understand what service we were actually paying for. We were also left waiting a long time after asking for the bill. Even after trying to get the staff's attention several times, nobody came, so we eventually had to pay at the counter ourselves. When we questioned the extra €1 charge, we were only told that it was the owner's policy. We respect that restaurants can have their own policies, but they should be communicated clearly from the beginning, not after the customer has already requested takeaway. During our trip across Sardinia, this was the only restaurant that charged extra for takeaway packaging, and unfortunately it left a negative impression. Better communication and more attentive service would make a big difference.

AVOID! Terrible food! I am Italian and have been living in Sardinia for 3 years, I've never seen…read moresuch poorly prepared food. My friend ordered a tuna steak and it came with zero sauce, way too rare (ie not even grilled on the top and bottom part, like rare tuna steak should be served) and extremely dry. We complained and they put a bunch of pinzimonio (raw oil, garlic and parsley) on it, which is not at all what tuna steak calls for. I ordered pasta with zucchini flowers and shrimp and it was barely so-so. Despite repeated complaints, they didn't discount one euro from the bill, in fact they argued that "that's how it should be served" (it isn't, ask any Sardinian cook). Truly terrible.

I STRONGLY advise against visiting this restaurant. This was a meal on our honeymoon and our server…read morewas very ill. As a doctor, she was showing numerous signs concerning for COVID, and my concerns were shrugged off. She was sneezing and coughing at our table while taking our order, and on our food while serving. We asked the manager for another waiter and she kept on serving us. She forgot 3 of our items ordered as well as two orders for the couple sitting next to us. She also dropped our utensils while bussing the table. Clearly, she had no business being at work and the restaurant was ignorant to keep her there. The 1.5 hours between being served our appetizers and first course did not help either. Overall, we were at this restaurant for 4 hours to eat appetizers! At this point, we asked to not pay for the first course because we had no appetite to eat due to the sneezing and coughing, and this was met with a no. As a Sardinian visiting, I can't say how disappointing it was showing my new wife my hometown. 0/10 - would never recommend

I had the malloreddus (pasta) with gorgonzola sauce and grated pecorino, and it was superb. Ordered with a prix fixe menu of 17 euros, the malloreddus came with bread, a bottle of water, 25ccs of wine, and a small assortment of excellent Sardinian "dolci" as dessert. I loved the feel of the place!

Since it's off season we are having a hard time finding the gems or popular but less touristic places. As we walked by and checked TripAdvisor (sorry Yelp, still a long way to go in some countries) I thought it might be a nice place to try. If you travel this island for some time you might have discovered that there are quite some sh*tholes here and 95 percent of the food is the same. I consider myself a pizza lover and not the greatest fish eater. But after 20 pizzas I thought "what the heck, go fish" just to discover they also had meat. I couldn't control my inner "carnivori" and ordered meat. Got a BIG piece and it was perfect. Also loved the patatos (you have to order everything separately here - don't forget) which was good. Coupled with great wine, good background music and, for the first time here, good waiters (plus their English was better then my Italiani (making the hand gesture while typing this) so that was nice for a change. They could actually tell me something about the food and wine, which is nice since that's a big part of the experience. Last but not least; great deserts and nice roof terrace (which I didn't notice from the street). It's a bit more expensive but it's worth the money. Trust me (I know what I'm doing).

We started with a small amuse buche Parmesan ball that had a magnificent aged, balsamic reduction underneath it. That balsamic was lick worthy! Next they brought a basket of traditional breads and also the ingredients to make bruschetta at your seat: a beautiful burrata wedge that was slightly Smokey, perfectly seasoned garden fresh tomatoes and grilled bread. This was my favorite dish of the evening. Calamari was fresh and light. Not as crispy as we get in the USA but it wasn't as highly battered. The grilled lemons were a great addition, be sure to save them for your dinner. The farro with seafood was well done. It was fishier then many enjoyed due probably to the dehydrated caviar but the grain texture and seasoning was lovely and the shellfish was soft and perfectly cooked. We also had grilled sea bass (not shown) which was fresh and flakey. The dessert made with almond milk was a nice sweet taste to end the meal. Service was spot on, including the wine service. Servers spoke some English which was very helpful. Owners speak fluent English as does the manager. If you are in the area and looking for farm to table definitely give it a try!

By far my favorite pizza in Torre Delle Stelle, Sardinia and I would go as far to say all of Italy! They have a perfect mix of traditional pizza along with creative options. Then you add the ambiance and staff, perfetto!! The grounds are absolutely stunning if you are coming by for a drink, awesome bartender and cocktail menu, or dinner. I hope you get the opportunity to enjoy this spot. I can't wait to visit next year and see what other great additions this team has to offer.
