Tucked just below Castelsardo's medieval citadel, this room founded in 1981 blends fresh local seafood with an author's hand and a cellar running to hundreds of labels. Black ravioli stuffed with grouper and linguine with castellanese lobster show the kitchen's range. A Michelin Guide regular and the town's enduring fine table.

Editor's Tip

Once Michelin-starred and still in the Guide; founder Renato Pinna still welcomes guests. The wine list rewards exploring.
