    The gnocchi was the worst I have ever had. Tasted like a mushy meatball. Would not recommend

    LOVED all of the gluten-free options. The culurgiones need a rose sauce; they were a little bland. Also, it was a little treacherous getting in the building. Please put up some more sturdy railings, at least. Very difficult for people with mobility/balance issues.

    A nice family restaurant that has gotten a bit off track. The potato gnocchi were floppy pads of potatoes. The seafood pasta looked like ketchup and wasn’t much better. The fruit tart was hard as a rock.

    Everything was incredible. I haven’t tasted gluten free Italian food that good in a long time. I will be back to work my way through the menu. The gluten free dessert options were also amazing.

    Amazing as always. So nice to be able to go into a restaurant with someone who can’t handle gluten and NOT worry about them being able to order something tasty. Perfection - will always consider this for amazing dinners.

    We had high hopes but the food wasn’t what we expected. The caprese was mini tomatoes and mini mozzarella balls with dried Basil. The pesto wasn’t “green” pesto but red and the gnocchi was MASSIVE - we’d never seen gnocchi that big. The crab ravioli was either burning hot or freezing cold like it was microwaved. Not worth the $90 bill

    Loved every minute. We went at a quiet Friday lunchtime and were able to ask lots of questions about the source of the sausage and olive oil etc, as well as sharing memories of our experiences in Sardinia and hearing about the owners’ life there. Needless to say, the service was great. The food was tasty and filling and really fresh, with carefully selected ingredients. This is as close to a Sardinian meal in Sardinia as you’re going to get without actually traveling there.
