"Very tasty and authentic trattoria. Good products, and incredible cuisine ! You should definitely go there if you are in Alghero !
I personally ordered spaghetti al ricci even if it was not the right moment of the year my dish was subtle and perfectly cooked."
Salomé Lacoeuilhe
"A local restaurant out of the tourist area. We met friends for dinner and sat outside but the inside of the restaurant is nice. Food was prepared well and the service was friendly and professional. We went here twice while staying in the area. The prices are reasonable as well. I would happily recommend this restaurant."
