Hivaoa Ristorante Pizzeria

Outstanding dining experience! The lobster and prawns were perfectly prepared - fresh and expertly cooked. Kids loved their pasta and spaghetti, and the desserts were exceptional. What truly impressed us was the service - despite arriving without a reservation on Saturday evening, the staff warmly welcomed us and found us a table. The waiters were top-level professionals, attentive and friendly throughout. As someone who invests in premium restaurants, I can appreciate this level of hospitality excellence. The combination of excellent food and genuine Italian warmth creates exactly the kind of memorable experience that keeps guests returning. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We had such a great experience at Hivaoa from the moment we arrived and were greeted at the door up until we left very late in the evening. We had a party of 24 (2 x tables of 12pp) with a booking - I would advise this. The staff were very friendly and were very attentive in taking our orders and accomodating all the special meal requests from the kids. We had both starters and mains and all the food came out promptly and hot. The food was beautiful! Food and drinks were reasonably priced including the alcohol. The staff looked after our birthday girls and the entertainment even sang happy birthday to them 🎂 The restaurant doesn’t have any fancy views but it really doesn’t need it with the lovely setting, decor and atmosphere. I look forward to eating here again.

Had a really good dinner here! We ordered the ravioli and a salami/olive/onion pizza—both were full of flavor and nicely presented. The ravioli was tasty, and the pizza had that perfect crispy crust with generous toppings. Service was friendly and smooth, and the whole vibe of the place was relaxed and welcoming. Prices were very reasonable, which made the experience even better. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and looking for a solid Italian meal without breaking the bank.

I spent just one week in Porto Cervo but I was here twice- you can guess why- I love this place. Music, hostesses, service- everything is 10⭐️ with a twist and totally different from usual. Menu is rich, with lots of options and I can only say that everything was delicious.

AMAZING FOOD!!!! We shared a few starters which were delicious and then had pastas and pizzas and it was all really tasty and good value. Good service too.

Had a dinner at Hivaoa Ristorante Pizzeria and it was a lovely surprise—it had a cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and absolutely delicious seafood and pasta. The flavors were fresh and vibrant, especially the seafood pasta and the oysters, which tasted straight from the sea. I’d definitely go back for another plate or two! P.S. We walked in and managed to get a table but reserving one in advance is highly recommended as the restaurant is very popular from what I could see.

Had a very disappointing experience. Ordered the Spaghetti al Cartoccio and Risotto alla Pescatora, both of which were far below expectations. The spaghetti was served in aluminum foil (????), which made the presentation unappealing and not good at all as aluminium in contact with food! In terms of taste if the pasta I had ordered was pasta on tomato sauce (spot on) BUT it wasn't...it was supposed to be SEAFOOD pasta with just a few mussels and ONE shrimp on top (nothing else as it's supposed to be on Spaghetti al Cartoccio) not even a tiny flavour in the pasta. The risotto was undercooked (not al dente) and tasted mostly of tomato as well, with no real seafood depth. And on top VERY SMALL portions. Also, ordered pizza as the portions were so small and still was hungry and was good. The service ok not great. Despite the lively and pleasant atmosphere, the overall experience was surprisingly BAD, based on the reviews. Photo: without some mussels and 1 shrimp. Just the tomato pasta I was served....

They offer a very fun atmosphere with dining under a live tree located within the restaurant. The food was delicious and I would suggest the eggplant parmigiana antipasto. Thin layers of eggplant in an amazing red sauce and loaded with melted cheese. The lasagna was another highlight and the sea bass was cooked to perfection. Huge wine list and a separate “longevity” menu featuring traditionally prepared Sardinia blue zone dishes.
