Description

The kitchen focuses on simple Sardinian plates done with care. Diners point to the malloreddus alla Campidanese—a fresh, chewy pasta in a savory sausage sauce—and tender, lightly charred octopus as highlights. The cooking is straightforward rather than complex, matched by a relaxed pace that invites lingering over a Hugo Spritz on the patio or tucking into the small dining room for apple cake. Staff are notably helpful with gluten-free adjustments. Just note the house rule before settling in: this is a cash-only operation.
