L’Isola

Had the most amazing dinner on our honeymoon… stayed at near by Holiday Inn and a short 4 min walk lead us to this gem… amazing food and service. quaint family restaurant a must go if in surrounding area.

Good food and the friendliest owner ever! He gave us tons of little goodies from the tomato basil appetizer bread to a free Sardinian dessert. He even gave us a towel to wipe the rain off of our scooter seat! Would definitely recommend!

For Americans, they say to go to a local Italian restaurant already full of Italians and eat there. We found this place down the block from our hotel, which offered a 10% discount for eating here. It was fantastic! There were five Italian couples eating there with us, and the food was amazing. The service was intimate and perfect. Everything about the meal was just awesome. There is a focus on seafood here, so if you don’t like fish … We spent two hours going course by course through the meal, and we left satisfied, happy and warm (thanks to the Sambuco at the end!). Excellent restaurant! Highly recommend! With the discount, the whole meal plus drinks cost us 54E total. Can’t beat that anywhere in the U.S.

What a wonderful evening! Family run restaurant that does everything right. Party of 6 had 7 different dishes and 3 desserts. Each dish was beautifully presented. The depth of flavors was remarkable! House red wine is a winner! Whoever thought this place was closed missed a great meal.

Wow. Blown away, such an unexpected treat.
This place was recommended by the Holiday Inn down the street where we were staying.
It’s a family run business and they treat you like family with delicious home cooked meals. They’re from Sardinia. So all the seafood is out of sight. I had spaghetti with clams and sautéed mussels, and it was easily some of the best I’ve ever had in my life. All homemade and fresh. The ice cream is also home made and delicious (served with fresh berries for dessert).
We went here on our last night at the hotel, if I knew about this place earlier, I would have gone more often.

While staying at the Holiday Inn Express San Giovanni, we decided to try a small place that was a short walk on the same street.
It was a quaint place with maybe eight tables and a patio area. It was past 10 pm but the host Josef was more than happy to serve us.
It was a Sardinian restaurant. Josef gave us the traditional crispbread with baby tomatoes, basil, and olive oil to try. It was amazing.
We ordered the entrecôte (beef steak) and grilled seabass. They were both good dishes, very simple preparation which allowed the pureness of the beef and fish to be displayed. The beef was accompanied by simple green with carrot slivers. The bass came with grilled zucchini.
As mentioned a great place to try if you’re at the hotel and don’t want to go far.
