Ristorante Colibrì

Eastern Sardinia


Hidden away in an incongruous residential area (follow the numerous signs), this lemon-walled restaurant is the real McCoy for meat eaters. Stars of the menu include cinghiale al rosmarino (wild boar with rosemary), capra alla selvatiza (goat with thyme) and porcetto (suckling pig).
