L'Antica Hostaria

Very nice restaurant with Sicilian dishes, which is nice to have on top of the Sardinian flavours. The Caponata and the Swordfish pasta are superb, as is the parfait semifreddo in the deserts. The owner and cook came at the table to explain the dishes in English to us. Very affordable pricing.

This experience was amazing! We stumbled upon this lovely small restaurant. The chef was just standing outside and explaining us a bit about sicilian food. He tried his best with thr little bit Englisch he knew. None of us (5 people) had ever eaten it, so we have no comparison. The restaurant looks like a nice cosy home from the inside. Classic tabels, chairs and interieur. It was clean and simpel. Music of hits from all kind genres and years. We were the first customers of today. We asked the chef what he recommended. We like sharing food. He suggested a sort of tasting for us all with some adaptations for our vegetarians in the group. The chef was very thoughtfull and listened to our wishes if needed. The first dish were the panelle. A lovely snack with an anise twist. Sort of fried chickpea flower chips or cookies. Second was like a soft pizza. Nice taste. Third was fried balls filled with 5 different options meat and vegi. These can be customized. Nicely cruncy crust and soft hot filling. Fourth was steamed vegies in tomatensauce. Very good. Also for dipping in the bread. All plates were emtied within 10 minutes. No crumbs left. We had no favorite. All were delicious! Not to little and great size. Two big plates of pasta. Also eaten empty. It was simpel, great taste and pasta el dente. Just perfect! As desert Tiramisu (not with coffee but amaretto. Still possible with coffee though), semifriddo & cannoli. All shared and emjoyed, but the favorite was the tiramisu. Light, right size and delicious 10/10! If you like sharing food and something different from the standard Italian food, this is the place to be. Not expensive, great quality food and friendly owners. So definately worth it. With 5 people who drank water, cola, good house wine, 4/5 different starters, pasta and desert it was 111 euro. For me a little jewel in Sassari. Authentic delicious Sicilian food from a Sicilian chef who moved to Sardinie for love 35 years ago. His passion is cooking, which can be seen in his dishes. All in all it was a great surprise! We wanted to eat again, but unfortunately had to travel. Maybe one day we can visit this place again.

Very tasty local food, definitely a great dinner. Tourist friendly nice atmosphere.

Nice ambiente, very kind people, it's difficult to understand the way to order for non italian speaker but they really tried to explain everything, the food was good. Caponata: aubergine and other vegetables was very good with self grown olives Panelle: Something fried made of chickpeas was interesting and good I piece of sfincione (like pizza), I guess it was warmed up, can not really recommend Iris: fried dough with cheese inside, was okay, I expected something more crunchy like arancini Pasta Norma: pasta with aubergines, was good

Fantastic place, it's a little out of the way but the owner and his wife will treat you like family. They don't speak much English but with a bit of patience and pointing we got some absolutely amazing food. Ditch the main street and the patios, walk along the jail and get some amazing Sicilian food

Excellent cozy home cooked food. Lovely service, very sweet. The melanzane alla parmigiana was exceptional!! An absolute must try

Great food made better by the authentic hospitality. If you want to experience Sardinian cuisine at its simple finest this is the place.

Amazing food, great atmosphere. The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable and love cooking and feeding people. We had a great assortment of vegetarian dishes suggested by the wife and most amazing desserts, and a lovely conversation afterwards. Unbeatable value too, 40 euros for great vegetarian dinner for two.
