S'Hostera

Eastern Sardinia


A simple trattoria on the face of things, S'Hostera impresses with its delectable, locally sourced renditions of traditional Nuorese and Barbagian recipes. The carpaccio, freshly grilled fish, home-made pastas such as culurgiones or pecorino-filled ravioli, and mountain specialities such as capretto agli agrumi (stewed kid with citrus) are big on flavour and served with a smile.
