Top choice in Southwestern Sardinia
Come hungry, take a seat and wait for the fun to begin. Out will come an array of delicious antipasti – seasonal vegetables, salami, cheeses – all accompanied by warm home-baked bread. Next up is pasta, perhaps ravioli filled with lemon-infused ricotta, followed by grilled meat and a selection of unpronounceable desserts. It's quite magnificent, especially if capped with a glass of local mirto.
Note, you'll need to call ahead to reserve a place.
