As a Sardinian restaurant, it shines in its dedication to local flavors and ingredients, bringing dishes like Culurgiones Al Ragù Di Capra and Pane Frattau to the forefront of its menu, alongside comforting classics such as Parmigiana Di Melanzane and succulent grilled meats including Schaffleisch-spieße and the generous Grillhähnchen Mit Pommes.

The space itself invites both locals and travelers seeking genuine regional cuisine beyond the expected seafood and pasta.

Went in this place and were very happy to not find only fish and sea food Prices are very reasonable, we had pasta, once this malloreddus with tomato sauce& salsiccia and ravioli filled with cheese& potato. Also had meatballs with tomato sauce. Very delicious and fast, we can only recommend!

The lasagna and the mellanzana with eggplant were terrific; not too salty, not too bland. This is our third restaurant in the area and we’ve had tiramisu at every one. This one was the best so far.

We happened upon this restaurant while checking out a few others nearby and decided to give it a try. We are so glad we did! We ended up loving everything we ordered and the price was very reasonable. We had raviolis, grilled sheep (I think) and malloreddus (Sardinian gnocci).

The name of the restaurant needs some immediate help on the marketing level, but it is a nice place to grab a bite in the town center. Amazing fava beans with pancetta, that's their forte. The stewed goat was underwhelming and quite absurdly priced at 18 euros. My first waiter was not in a good mood, the second one was delightful. Lots of wasps while you eat, but that's not their fault. Fast service. Feels almost like a family owned place. Kitchen always open. Eat surrounded by olive trees. Good stuff.
