Osteria Macchiavello

Alghero


A popular restaurant on the sea walls, this is a panoramic spot for a leisurely meal. The menu covers most tastes with a number of classic local dishes, including baccalà (salted cod) served in a sweet-and-sour stew and wild boar braised in red wine. Alongside the à la carte menu, there are also a couple of fixed-price lunch menus.
