Azienda Agrituristica Sa Mandra

The 16 Best Restaurants in Sardinia | Eater

"Located a short distance from the Alghero airport, Sa Mandra is a working farm owned by a family from the rural Barbagia subregion 75 miles to the southeast. Over the course of more than 30 years, owners Rita Pirisi and her husband, Mario Murrocu, have transformed a dilapidated property into a thriving 100-hectare farm with accommodations. The restaurant, which is open to agriturismo guests and other visitors, serves meals showcasing the produce and meat from Sa Mandra and surrounding farms. The earthy, land-based dishes include handmade maharrones de pungiu — textured gnocchetti with tomato, sausage, and pecorino — and porcetto allo spiedo (also called porceddu), spit-roasted suckling pig." - Katie Parla
