Gave this a try based on others reviews but sadly it wasn’t good at all. The mussels and clams in tomato sauce tasted like from a can and the pasta dishes we had were so basic I could have made them better myself at home. I hate to say it but just being completely honest. Not worth the money at all. But the waiter was pleasant and the place was bumping even though we were the youngest there haha.

The food was amazing ! We started with sardine which were perfectly prepared - light, flakey and flavorful. My wife had the grouper with mussels special, which she loved and I had the paella - simply fantastic ! We tried Sardinian wine for the first time. I highly recommend you try it. Antonio was out server. He was a delight! Attentive, engaging and a pleasure to talk with about his career in the restaurant biz. At Antonio’s recommendation, we will be back to try the veal chop. Sardinia is a hidden gem … shhh
