The 16 Best Restaurants in Sardinia | Eater

"For 35 years, Il Rifugio in Nuoro, the capital of the Barbagia subregion, has been flawlessly executing traditional cucina Barbaricina recipes. Helmed by father-and-son team Silverio and Francesco Nanu, the place isn’t just a bastion of tradition. Francesco boasts experience in fine dining kitchens in Italy, Australia, and Japan, giving him a penchant for whole-animal and fish butchery, which comes across in dishes like pecora sarda in cassola (braised mutton) and cordedda (roasted lamb innards). Don’t miss the su filindeu, a pasta made from layered, hand-pulled durum wheat cooked until velvety in a mutton broth with cheese." - Katie Parla

Su Filindeu in sheep broth and pecorino sardi is as good as the legends say.

We did not make a reservation and they fitted us in their busy schedule. We had a lovely meal at Il Refugio. Fresh seafood salad à la Mediterraneo, Tonno Rosso and Raviolini di formaggio with lamb ragu. Would visit again definitely!

Amazing place, great food / wine / service. We booked for lunch on Sunday and did the right thing as it was full. Can't wait to go back again.

This place is fantastic. The food is incredible and the wine amazing. Service is friendly and fast. The ancient pasta is served in the classic broth and the bottarga buratta appetizer is very special. Make sure to make a reservation. They fill up quickly. They also make incredible pizza.

A trattoria in Nuoro, hidden from the eyes of tourists with amazing food. It might be needed a reservation in advance. Keep in mind that in Italy you can have lunch between 12.30-14.30 and no pizza served. You can enjoy it at dinner starting from 19.30. I do recommend this place. An excellent service! Grazie mille Il Rifugio Nuoro !

Incredible meal with local produce and filled with locals- we had read about this place being considered one of the best Sardinia has to offer and we’re not disappointed!

I have eaten here several times over the years when visiting family in the city. The pizza is some of the best in town with good selection of pizzas, great dough, sauce and good quality toppings. The restaurant menu includes several typical dishes and seasonal ingredients and dishes that change up things a little. The service is friendly and efficient, although at times a little too short with customers who are not regulars or locals. Main owner and wife watch clients from one of the corners and do not look happy and is the only thing that does provide a positive vibe.

The best food in Sardinia. The filendue is of course a tremendous dish. So subtle with its flavors and the unique pasta. The grilled squid was the best I've had. The sheep meatballs with garlic sauce. The grilled meats. The tuna. Everything was fantastic. The staff was very kind and attentive. It is worth the drive to eat this food. We stayed in puerto cervo and had good food but this place is the best.

One of the best meals we have had in sardinia. Menu is beyond the common fare here. Preparation is more sophisticated than what we have found in sardinia. Staff is courteous and alert, so more American style. Excellent and highly recommended!!

Please go at lunchtime, in the evening it becomes a loud pizzeria. One of the best in Sardegna.
