Excellent lunch stop in Sassari for this traveling American. Very limited English, but do your research ahead of time and you’ll be ok—and if all else fails, they will bring you to the counter to point to what you want to eat

We found them coincidentally. You will feel the warm atmosphere when you enter. Reservation is essential; we seem some people turned due to busy tables. Local Sardinian Restaurant. I suggest local dishes most of them are vegetarian foods.

Sick of overpriced ,tasteless food? Then come here for simple home cooked food ,made and served by local woman , at a fair price. There are no gimmicks, no fancy glasses or cutlery, and the woman can't speak a word of English . Places like this are why I like to go abroad. If you like none of the above ,stay home and go to your local run of the mill Italian restaurant and pretend you are abroad.

As real home cooking as it gets. Really recommended for anybody who wants to try out traditional Sardinian cuisine, as if your Italian grandma is cooking. And the prices are impressive for 2023, just look at the menu!
