Antica Cagliari Ristorante

A wonderful gem of a restaurant in Cagliari. Their chilled lobster astice style is a steal at 45€, we devoured it. Everything was very delicious here. My only qualm is that the wine is very expensive and pumped up the bill. Service is polite and friendly. Reservations are essential.

It’s a bit expensive but the food is nice. We had the fresh fried calamari which were a bit oily, but okay. Black ink pasta was okay as well. Highlight was the vongolle with bottarga which was very good. The service in general was really nice in the beginning, but then they just forgot about our table completely (we were sitting outside) and we had to get up and go inside to ask for coffees and the check.

This place is super loud and noisy, but the food is really good and the prices are reasonable. Plus, the service is super fast! Also the restaurant design is very nice.

Good food and service. We had a great seabass, however the sides were quite small. Tuna tartare was aslo quite good. I would say that the interior design was a bit outdated hence 3 stars, but its the case with many italian restaurants.

Very nice restaurant in the center of Cagliari. The food was very good, although I have to say that maybe there was way too much onion in the tomato salad. The grilled fish was amazing, and they also cleaned it for me, which was super comfortable. All the staff members were very nice and friendly, and they also did a special fruit mix for me, as I’m allergic to some fruits. Totally recommended. With wine, it all costed 45€, but it was worth it.

Excellent food and a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the service was quite slow, which affected our overall experience. We waited nearly 40 minutes before even being able to order drinks. While our waiter was kind, the service lacked attentiveness and efficiency.

We had a very nice lunch. Food and service were excellent. Seafood, risotto, and a special local dessert. Recommended.

One of our best dinners in Cagliari. The beefsteak fillet was excellent with a side of rosemary potatoes.

Since it is in the most touristy part of the city I was expecting English speaking staff. That is not the case: we couldn't reserve a table at first because the waiter on the phone didn't speak English we could get one though the second time we called. The waiters couldn't describe the menu, couldn't help us because lack of basic language skills. They forgot to give us bread, water and a Coke (even though they tried to add the Coke to the bill). The food was average. I was expecting more based on the price tags.

The lobster pasta was delicious but not heavenly based on previous extensive experience in Italy. The restaurant is lovely though and would come back any time. Recommend the the Balari white wine

Food overall didn't disappoint, but wasn't one I'd say was what was expecting. The fish was good, and my wife's pasta was also good. Wine is affordable in most restaurants, I believe a bottle of white dry wine was $14 euro. The biggest screw up occurred when another couple and us got each other's meals at first. The screw up was kinda awkward, with no apology from the wait staff. That was probably what lost them the fifth star from us.

Nice location. Directly in the old town of Cagliari near the harbor promenade with its luxury shops. The service and the wine are good. Here you can not expect tyical Sardinian top food, you will not find it in tourist locations... But it is still upscale.

Lot of cute restaurants in via Sardegna. This one was ok. The bronzino al vermentino was well cooked but not particulalry tasty. I liked the seafood salad. It was fresh and not too acidic. Staff was ok. If you have a car, park at the port parking lots. The walk is literally 5 min.

Just an awful dinner experience all round. We are in Cagliari for a week and our first evening recommendation was Antica - big mistake! Express tourist location - our ravioli was industrial & luke warm, our medium steak was underdone blue, service was impossible to get and two items on the menu we wanted were not available don't go...

Loved this seafood restaurant. Wonderful mussels. Great seafood carbonara. Very reasonable wine and food. Delicious. Great service dessert of puff pastry stuffed with sweet s cheese. Seadus. Was fantastic the honey and orange flavor was unique and awesome great service. I loved this place. Make sure if you are cruising that you come here.
