This appealing new cafe, bar and arts space fills the interior courtyard and stone-and-brick-vaulted former stables of a palazzo on Oristano's main square. It's a great spot for everything from aperitivi to Sardinian craft beers to morning coffee and freshly squeezed juices. Ongoing cultural offerings include an evening film series and an attached bookstore.
