We were there for 2 nights in a row and tried many things from the menu - all of them extremely delicious. For the 2nd evening the owner prepared us as per our request a big sea bream, which was absolutely amazing. Totally recommend also the octopus - must try! The desserts were also very good. Many thanks to Luigi, who is always there to help you choose your meal, as well as the owner and his wife, who makes sure we enjoy our food and everything is perfect.
Their first night of opening. Friendly service, just like you'd known them forever. Fantastic meal. Beautifully cooked. Fun atmosphere, especially when my husband was told he looked like Robbie Williams! thank you to all the staff and the other customers for making our evening very enjoyable. Wendy & Dunc
Where do you start? This place is amazing! Luigi booked us in for a 7.30 sitting. He greeted us at the blue and white painted outdoor area, seated us at the front, and explained the fresh seafood driven menu. The fregola first course was exquisite, with fresh scampi, clams and mussels. Then the fritto misto, fried squid and potatoes with rosemary followed. All magnificent. The owners were also burning coffee for the insects, which made the ambience complete with a 'charred Med' aroma wafting throughout (like the seafood docks of somewhere like Split or Catania). As one German patron exclaimed "forte bellissima' ...'strong beautiful' was an apt description of this sensational Cardedu eatery! Thank you Luigi and team for this experience. Ciao, grazie!
We tried as many restaurants as possible on our visit. This was by far the best location. Amazing customer service, amazing food. Couldn’t recommend it more.
Fantastic place Beautiful seafood Perfect chef Perfect service Recommend to all
Food was delicious, the only sea food restaurant in Sardine worth recommending. The stuff was very nice, they gave us a lot of good recommendations regarding food choices. It's necessary to make a reservation prior to eating here because they rarely have spots available for walk-ins. The only thing destroying our experience was a swarm of wasp, that came to our table as soon as we received our seafood. The restaurant is aware of that problem and they have put out smoking ashtrays, but they do little to stop the literal swarm of wasps from approaching customers at their tables and ruining their dinner experience.
Excellent food, friendly atmosphere and good service. Fresh local sea food. Highly recommended, excellent place in unexpected setting.
