Southwestern Sardinia


For once the food plays second fiddle. A meal at this casual, laid-back pizzeria is all about its magical setting at Belvedere. Tables are laid out on a covered cliffside path offering extraordinary views over the plunging coastline and, in the distance, the famous Pan di Zucchero sea stack. The pizzas are pretty good too.
