Hivaoa Ristorante Pizzeria

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.

HIVAOA Porto Cervo offers a great dining experience with fresh oysters and perfectly fried fish, served in an elegant atmosphere with outstanding service. Located in the heart of Costa Smeralda, it’s a must-visit for food lovers seeking quality, flavor, and attention to detail. Highly recommended!

Authentic family restaurant very very delicious food, and very good prices. We loved it! Highly recommend it!

Great service and great meals had here. Would recommend. Probably one of the best places we went to in Sardinia, and we went to a lot of places.

A lady from the staff was very unfriendly in the beginning but noticed we were frustrated with her and she became way more friendly later. The food was good (not among the best we had in Sardinia) but still.quite good. Atmosphere is quite nice and the place is very large with nice seating space.

Visited this restaurant and, unfortunately, had a very disappointing experience — especially considering the positive reviews we had read beforehand. The pizza was delicious, but sadly, it was the only thing we truly enjoyed. We 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 it lacked any real seafood flavor — just a few mussels and a single shrimp. The risotto was undercooked (not al dente) and tasted mostly of tomato, with no real seafood depth. Both dishes were served in very small portions. The service was also underwhelming, which only added to our disappointment. Despite the lively and pleasant atmosphere, the overall experience fell well short of what we had hoped for based on the reviews.
