Dal Corsaro

Cagliari

LoginSave

One of only three Michelin-starred restaurants in Sardinia, Dal Corsaro has long been a bastion of high-end culinary creativity. Calling the shots is chef Stefano Deidda, whose artistic brand of cuisine marries technical brilliance with a passion for seasonal Sardinian ingredients. Typical of his style is his maialino da latte, topinambur e aglio (roast pork with Jerusalem artichoke and garlic). Bookings required.

The associated bistro, Fork, offers a more affordable way to sample Deidda's cuisine.
