Chef Carta brings the authentic simple elegance of the Sardinian dining tradition to your table. Sardinian cuisine is known for the purity of food and flavors. To insure the authenticity of the dining experience Chef has imported an authentic hood wood-burning oven for the kitchen. The menu is focused on farm fresh and locally grown food. Chargrilled meats and local fish will be cooked in the oven as it is in Sardinia. Taste the Sardinia bread, know as Pane carasau, baked fresh daily which welcomes you at your table. The pasta dough is also made fresh daily. Revel in the authentic Sardinian paella made with fregola and enjoy the unique flavor of bottarga. To maximize the pleasure of sharing good food with good friends, Sardinia has 45 seats- 24 in the main dining room, a chefs table for 10 and 13 seats in the bar area. Good food-good conversation-good friends. A true Sardinia experience you will not forget.

    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
