Sardinian roast suckling pig, slow-cooked over myrtle or juniper. A celebratory island classic prized for crisp skin and fragrant, tender meat.
Thin Sardinian flatbread baked until crisp. In Gallura it is a staple with cheese, cured meats or soups and keeps well for pastoral life.
Soup of stale bread soaked in rich sheep broth with Pecorino cheese. A rustic Gallurese dish closely tied to local farmhouse cooking.
Refined restaurant focused on seafood and contemporary Sardinian cooking, suited to a slower dinner in an elegant central setting.
Established seafood restaurant near the waterfront, known for fresh fish, shellfish and a polished but relaxed Sardinian atmosphere.
Traditional Sardinian dining with grilled meats, local pasta and regional wines in a warm, rustic setting popular with locals and visitors.
Moderate for Italy: summer accommodation is pricey, but dining and local buses are reasonable versus larger resort destinations.
Service is often included or not expected. Round up in cafés, leave 5-10% for very good restaurant service, and round up taxi fares.
