Old Friend Cagliari

The 16 Best Restaurants in Sardinia | Eater

"Dario Torabia and Luigi Serra opened this restaurant with the aim of making guests feel like they are at the home of an old friend — albeit a friend who is young, has a large street art collection, and listens to Rancid (who made the song for which the restaurant is named). The food is deeply rooted in the flavors of southern Sardinia but often incorporates ingredients from across the globe. Standout dishes include braised legumes with casu axedu (a brined cheese), black garlic, and miso; and smoked fish with sour cream, beets, dill, and abbamele (an ancient Sardinian honey product). The wine list is filled with fun natural wine from the island and the mainland." - Katie Parla
