"wonderful place just outside Santa Teresa, flavoured food and a nice presentation, staff very attentive. I ordered a mixed grilled fish that was exactly what I wanted!! My girlfriend ordered a pizza with local ricotta and artichoke, we shared everything and the whole meal was the top!!! If we go back to that part of Sardinian we'll definitely pop there again!!!!

Set in a beautiful Spanish style house , this place is very welcoming. Food was delicious and stuff speaks English and is very professional!

Visited here twice during our holiday as we loved it so much! Beautiful setting outside with live music in the evening. We tried the steak, some of the pasta dishes and the pizzas which were incredible. Highly recommend the tiramisu also, great portion size and one of the best we had tried! If you’re visiting the area, this restaurant is a must!

Great pizza! We noticed that most everyone in the dining room had pizza. Also had salads and a couple of appetizers. House wine was good. Large dining room open at one end to the outdoors. Tablecloths on all tables. Attentive staff with some English spoken.

Beautiful restaurant with very delicious Sardinian cuisine! The menu offers a variety of dishes and every dish we tried was delicious. Highly recommend the seafood ravioli! The staff were very attentive and friendly despite being busy and waiting on multiple tables.

Nice restaurant. Was quite busy. Service was nice. Wine was lovely. Husband had a pizza which was good, I had the risotto and I was a bit disappointed as it had no flavour, even with the truffle. But still good meal

Perfect night, food and service were just amazing! The restaurant is just enough away from the main road to enjoy silence and quiet. After a long journey from London, we finally felt home. We will come back Definitely recommended
