“ I was immediately impressed with this restaurant ! Their welcome was so kind and unobtrusive I immediately felt at ease . I was dining alone . They let me have any table I wanted and made me a cocktail to order . I had steak and fries and the food was really very good . The fries are hands down the BEST I have ever tasted. They slice them and leave them with their skin. They were AMAZING! The service is excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here . ”
“ Great food and very friendly service. Everything seemed reasonably priced with good portion sizes. Came here with my 18 month old son and everyone was very accomodating. ”
“ I came during the closing time, the staff were eating like a family. This is nice. They politely apologize in Italian and asked me to kindly return in 2 hrs when the restaurant will be open again. When I returned, The maître d' welcomed me in, and said thank you for returning. Great service!! I ordered first course, a dish with mussels and clams in pomodoro sauce, it was fabulous! I then ordered Linguini alla vongole (with clams) and Bottarga, which is dried fish eggs (special only to Sardenia and deep south Italy), this dish was fantastic, had I more room in my stomach, I would eat another! I paired with 2022 Funtaliras (half bottle) white wine from the region, what a lovely bottle of white. See photo! This place is a hidden gem, away from all the hussle bustle in Cagliari but just 10 min away. Oh their house cheese cake! Reminded me of cheese cake I get every burthday when I was a boy, I never forget my dad always get me this cake and this one is exactly the same! You could choose to get different sauces on it but I chose plain! Brava!! ”

“ As a hotel guest of the Hotel Nautilus, you get 10% discount at this Mediterranean restaurant which is near the hotel and part of Nautilus Hotel ownership (right side). As many fellow travelers commented, they seem to be overpriced but they always have a good flow of seating. On our evening the restaurant was half full. The waiter recommended the catch of the day, a 1 kg SeaBass cooked / broiled in a Mediterranean Sauce with olives, wine sauce and potatoes while we ordered some other dishes. The oysters were a temptation, although its not the best season for oysters and they differed in size and texture. I felt the biggest rip-off honestly speaking, not worthwhile the price and overall experience. The mixed grilled seafood platter with tuna, seabream, cuttle fish and prawns and Linguini vongole with mussles were delicious. The service was not very attentive but at least they offered the promised 10% hotel guest discount. Not the value for money we were expecting ! ”
“ We had dinner at Luzia’s, and it was an amazing experience! The service was excellent – very polite and attentive. The restaurant itself is beautifully kept and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. But the highlight was definitely the food – it was the best meal we’ve had in Cagliari so far! The white wine was delicious, and everything was just perfect. Highly recommended! ”
