Civic Market of San Benedetto

Absolutely lovely experience! We went twice during our 5-day visit. Such a variety of fish, seafood, cheeses, sausages, fruit, vegetables, meat, salami, antipasti, bottarga, honey, jams, etc. Walking through the aisles and pick products for you lunch, dinner or snacks is a fine Sardinian experience. We loved it and also had the best coffee in our entire lives! Fishermen open up oysters for you and you can eat them right there, that's what we did. It is a must-visit while in Cagliari! 😃

We enjoyed the walk to this market and found that the stall holders were very friendly and happy for my photography to include them and their produce.

Dear food lovers, this is the place. Wonderful people who may not speak English, but who certainly understand you with their hearts and the stomach. What to search WILD Tuna, cut fresh from the knife, excellent fish ceviche or perhaps the ricotta like never taste? Outstanding vegetables and very fair prices.

The market moved to a different location, its still open. Prices are hit and miss, depending on the stall, produce is very fresh though. Everything seems to be local

Amazing market full of fresh seafood, produce, baked goods, meat, and cheese!

I visited the temporary installation as the original was undergoing maintenance. Interesting experience, crowded, noisy, but full of surprises. Here you can find excellent traditional products of Sardinia: from fish, to meat, to honey, pastries, sausages, wine and some of the best cheese you'll ever taste (in my opinion). Disclaimer: If you can't handle smells, the sight of blood and butchered animals, you might consider skipping this one.

Great place to experience the best local produce of Cagliari.
