L'Ancora

Southwestern Sardinia


L'Ancora is a small family-run trattoria overlooking the beach at Portixeddu. Its sea-facing terrace is a charming spot to chow down on mussels and clams, shellfish pastas and grilled fish of the day. It's open year-round but if coming in winter it pays to call ahead.
